TASTING With the Nose.

The sensation of taste. while of com
mon and constant experience. is highly
complicated in its nature. What Is
commonly called taste Is not simple
sensation at all, but rather complex.
In addition to the actual functioning
of the apparatus properly pertaining
to the sense of taste, the tongue re-
ceives Impressions of various other
sorts. all of which go to make up this
complex. AS finally recorded in the
consciousness, the taste of any sub
stance has to do with its heat or cool
ness, perhaps with a mild amount of
pain, certainly with astringency or
acridity-which are in themselves fur
ther complexes of thermic and tactile
sensations-and above all with smell.
The reader will probably agree that
ice cream and coffee are entirely diff
ferent from their true selves When
served at inappropriate temperatures
and it is a matter of record that per-
son of the keenest taste may make the
most ludicrous errors if asked, blind
folded and with his nose stopped to
identify substances placed in his
mouth.

Fine Memorial to Edith caverl.

In quarry. midway between Bod
win and Camelford, on the moors Of
North Cornwall, England, a memorial
is being fashioned out of granite in
memory of Nurse Cavell. One of the
huge pieces is nearing completion un-
der the guidance of Sir George Tramp
.on, who is giving his services free.
This figure represents woman with
arms half upraised. holding a little
child on her lap, while underneath, on
the base of the monument, is carved
cross. The group is symbolical of the
stronger nations protecting the smaller
and weaker ones, while the cross is the
emblem of mercy. The whole group is
carved in the form of a cross, giving
special significance to the order to
which Nurse Cavell belonged. Another
huge block of granite near by has big
lion carved on it. with head erect and
name bristling. Trampled beneath its
feet is serpent, writhing, but defeat
ed. The total weight of the memorial.
when finished, will be about 40 tons,
with height of about 40 feet. The
group probably will be erected near
the British National gallery,

Famed Rest of Noted Men.

The Diamond bar, famous for nearly
80 years as part of the old Auzerais
house, of San Jose. Cal, is being fitted
up for a grocery store. The Auzerais
house, on West Santa Clara street,
housed five presidents of the United
States and was for a time the abode of
a king. 1t was built in 1868, accord
ing to John E. Auzerais of San Jose,
and the barroom was the meeting
place for many of the men whose
names have been written into the his
tory of California.
President Grant was entertained at
a banquet in the Auzerais house in
1879. The following spring King Ka-
lakau of Hawaii was a guest, and in
September of the same year President
Hayes delivered an address from the
balcony. President Harrison was a
guest in 1891 and both Mckinley and
Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel
on their tours of the United States.

the harbor of st. Thomas for provid-

While few American steamers have
been calling at ST. Thomas for sup

The price of coal is cheaper at st.

We want to call attention to the
farmers of Carroll county that they
should In a particular and very
strenuous degree wage heavy war
against the mustard plant or water
cress which is becoming 50 prevalent
in our community.
This Is a very serious proposition
FOR the farmers and II has been known
that many farms have been praeti-
eally ruined by the spread of these
weeds.
We would make a suggestion thai
every farmer make up his mind today
to give his time aud money To the de
struetIon of these weeds as Il is more
or less in its infancy today and can
be combated with results. whereas II
IL is allowed to spread IL vii be i'm
possible in the next year or so to
get rid Of II.
SO let every farmer join with his
neighbor farmer and start At onUe To
destroy these horrible pest weeds.
All must fight together as If II Is
not killed on every farm the winds
will spread 1t to The next farm and
our efforts will he In vain this year.
and next year another attack will
have to be made.--.Written BY Robert
