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 1t 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
cate and discriminating hiladelphia

False Economy.

Some people begrudge the expendi-
ture Of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message Of
friendship In time Of trouble. To them
flowers are Of no use, pictures and
music a waste Of money. But life re-
stricted to things that go into the pot
or are worn Oh the back results In

more than they need money. The

How Houses Exnloda.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes is the explo.
sion of houses. which literally burst
scattering their fragments in all direc-
lions. Sometimes substantial dwell
ings are carried high into the air and
then explode.
1t is now understood that this is due
to the fact that the funnel cloud" IRE

The Finding Of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu.
