Activity Of the Tongue.

Nobody's tongue is still for a moment
at all events, in waking hours. The
tongue is the most necessarily active Of
all the body's members.
We think of the tongue as an organ
of speech, but it is also an organ Of
feeling. When one eats it is constantly
feeling about In the mouth and deciding
out Of its own mind" what particles
of food are small enough or too big to
swallow.
Yes, indeed, the tongue has mind Of
its own-a ganglion or minor brain
that is busy at mealtimes in regulating
the supply of food to the stomach. But
for its unceasing guardianship we
should suffer much oftener than we do
from the distresses Of indigestion.
We think of the finger ends as our
most sensitive organs Of feeling. They
are not such at all. The end of the
tongue is incomparably more deli

Athletic Sports.

athletics and soldering go hand in
hand. A good athlete generally makes
n good soldier. As far as we are con-
cerned, the more athletics the merrier,"
says an army officer.
"Our country should do everything to
encourage rough manly sports. Away
with the tango palaces and such places.
On with every kind Of rough sport that
is going to help make the youths and
men Of the nation physically fit to I'M
dergo whatever duties may confront
them!
1--WE not only want athletics outside
the army, but we want athletics inside
the army as part Of the military cur
riculum. Athletic games and sports
should be features In every training
camp, and for that matter not only run
ming, jumping, throwing the weights,
swimming, ETC., but also boxing and
wrestling. All such sports make for
better physical development, encourage
self reliance and breed confidence. A
man In good physical condition will
shoot better, march longer and with
stand the rigors Of campaigning better
than his soft and flabby brother

lnvioIable Envelopes.

The ordinary mucilage with which
the flaps of envelopes are gummed Is
composed of gum arabic or dextrine
and is only too amenable to the per-
suaslveness of moisture or "steaming'
in the hands of the INSCRIPTIONS. Per-
sons who wish to guard their inclo-
sures, whether emotional or financial,
against such offering can seal their
letters by method referred to in the
Annales DIES Telegraphes. This con-
sists in applying white OF egg to the

Military Watches.

The Jews, like the Greeks and Ro-
mans, divided the night into military
watches instead Of hours. Each watch
represented the period for which senti-
nels or pickets remained on duty.
These watches were from sunset to 10
p. m, from 10 p. m. to 2 a. NJ. and
from 2 a. IN. to sunrise. Under Roman
supremacy a fourth watch was added,
the first terminating at 0 p. No.. the
second at midnight. the third at 8 a. m.
and the last at @ a. m.
