The sense Of taste resides in little
flask shaped pockets imbedded in the
spin Of the surface Of the tongue and
in the upper part Of tho throat. Each
Of these bulbs has flbril OF a nerve
connecting 1t with the larger nerves of
its region. Anything to be tasted must
DO In dissolved or gaseous condition
so as to reach the interior of the bulbs,
and differences in taste depend upon
the varying intensity with which the
impression Is transmitted through the
nerves. It Is not surprising, then, that
taste is much Influenced by tempera-
ture and may temporarily be stopped
altogether by extreme heat or cold.
The sense Of taste is, 1t appears,
strongest at temperature between 30
and 90 degrees +.

ROCKVILLE. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST
Vacation and Efficiency.

1t is the change really more than the
rest that is Of so much value In a vaca-
ton. Besides the absorption Of the
fatigue products, there is an opportuni-
ty given those functions which have
remained inactive and sluggish, and
even atrophic, to exercise and develop.
It is restoration Of balance. For con-
fined and sedentary workers even hard
and coarse country work is restful and
invigorating. For indoor workers this
sort Of vacation means a new lease
on life. Very often a border line case
Of tuberculosis Is maintained a little
longer above the line by a proper vaca-
ton. The increased tendency to arterio-
sclerosls and other degenerative condi-
lions, as well as premature senility,
nearly all the result of high pressure
and efficiency, can DO much neutralized
by periodic vacations, vacation free
from the grind, Of course, but also
from the worry incident thereto. The
vacation is therapeutic measure come
to stay.-New York Medical Journal.

Perslatenoa Of Custom.

1t is present day custom for the
members Of the English parliament to
bow three times before taking their
seats. An American, mystined by this
strange custom, inquired tho reason for
It. He was astonlshed to find the Eng.
lishmen could not tell him. No one
seemed to know, not even the men who
did the bowling, but after much re
search the mystery was cleared away.
The buildings of parliament had once
burned, and the members were quar-
tered for a period in st. Stephens
chapel Having the altar Of the church
before them. they made the customary
bows to Father, Son and Holy Ghost
When they moved into their present
abode they did not take the altar with
them. but they kept on bowling never
theless. Case and Comment.
