The Languages of Paradise. Every language lias its admirers. In "Lucile" the author. Owen Meredith, maintained that when he heard French spoken as he approved he "found him self quietly falling in love." Edward lluuoii is another instance of this lin gual fascination, in stating his pref erence in his enchanting "Cities of Spain" lie recalls an interesting me diaeval legend. He says: "And as 1 listened to the splendid syllables of the Castilian tongue that rang eloquently through the twilight 1 remembered the saying of that old Spanish doctor of whom James Unw ell tells us in his 'lnstructions For Forraine Travel!'—to wit, that Spanish. Italian and French, these three daugh ters of the Latin language, were spo ken in paradise; that God Almighty created the world in Spanish, the tempter persuaded Eve in Italian and j Adam begged pardon in French." Taste is Localized. Taste is curiously localized in the mouth. Put a lump ot sugar on the lip of your tongue and you will tind it distinctly sweet. Then try it halfway | back on the tongue and you will find it tasteless. All sweet or aromatic substances, such as wine, sugar and coffee, can be properly appreciated by the front half of the tongue, a piece of knowledge that every true coiitioiss'jur applies when he sips instead of taking a mouthful. With most other sub- j stances, however, the reverse is true. ! in these cases the tip of the tongue serves only for touching—it is the back part that tastes. The sides of the mouth, too, are quite insensible to cer tain substances not tasteless. Put some salt or vinegar between the teeth and the cheek and you will lind them absolutely flavorless.—London Stand ard. Wrestling For Rant. In several cantons of Switzerland the custom prevails oi holding wros ! tling matches and other exhibitions of physical strength at their choral, gym nastic and rifle festivals. The cham pions taking part in these athletic sports belong to the most diverse ranks in the social scale. Thus at a recent festival at (Jreuchen, a little town in the canton of So leu re. a wealthy property owner and Jiis ten ant. a carpenter, stepped Into the are na to wrestle according to the rules of the art There were to be four rounds, or "fails." The slake for each "fall'* was one quarter's rent. After the < ar pentt r had thrown liis landlord four times the victor's prize was awarded to him. ami lie accordingly found him self entitled to live In his house rent free for n whole year.

Saved by His Wit. Lord Justice I'ltzgibbou. at the time 1 when lie was one of the justices of up peals of Ireland. was holding assixen in Tipperary county when a man wan brought before liini <>n indictment foi murder. The case was proved that the victim canu* to liis death by being bii with a stick in the bauds of the de fendant, but the doctor testified that ho had what they culled in medical parlance a "paper skull." The case looked dark for the prison er, however, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. As the man was brought before the court for sentence it was noticed that his lordship bad his black cap in his hand. I"Have you anything to say why sen teuce should not be pronounced upon I you?" demanded I.ord Kitzglbbon. The man looked for a moment and j then said. "No, your lordship, I have I nothing to say. but I should like to ask one question." "What is that, my man?" said Fit/.- gibbon. "1 should like to know what n man I with a head like that was doing in I Tipperary?" The black cap was put away and a ; prison sentence Imposed. .Joseph Chamberlain, the English statesman, was once indebted to a nursery rhyme for a great oratorical hit. In one of his speeches he was • criticising Lord Beaconsfleld and Lord Salisbury 011 their return from Berlin, where they had been carrying 011 ne gotiations with Bismarck. Both had made speeches explaining their ac tions, and one of theiu in the course of his oratory used the word "if" so many times as to give .Mr. Chamber lain a chance in his reply to make one I of those popular allusions which are J remembered longer than any logic. "What the honorable gentleman has I said," he remarked, "remind me of a I rhyme I learned from my nurse: "If all the seas were bread and cheese. If all the rivers were Ink, i If all the lakes were currant cakes. What should we have to drink?" The effect on the audience was tre | mendous. No one ever forgot that "if." Marriage Marts. The famous Tunis marriage mart i.« j held twice a year, in the spring and in I the autumn. The Tunisian girls attend i by the hundreds, each with tier dowry ' in coin and jewelry disposed about bet j person. The "golden girdle of maiden ] hood" encircles her waist, and in it i* ■ an unsheathed dagger. When the dag -1 ger is gently removed by a passing gal j iant and presently returned, it means I that a proposal has been made. A prettier custom prevails among the I Ooraon maids, who, at stated intervals j assemble in the market place. In from I of each is a lighted lamp, an emblem | of conjugal fidelity. A young man ! feels attracted and gently blows upon j the flame, extinguishing it. When tlie ! girl relights it.it is a rejeetmeiit: if she 1 allows the lamp togo unlighted, how- J ever, the suitor is acceptable. Wise Elephants. Elephants, those animal sages that are constantly changing keepers, be come so wise and know so much about the tricks of the trade and human na ture in general that they finally will i not work for any man. It is doubtful | if there is it bull elephant more thau ' fifty years old performing in this coun try. They have not "gone bad." as the showmen say. but have learned too j I much, picked up from their keepers, j and they cannot be worked with safe , ty. An elephant that is going to make trouble turns his hack on his Intended victim ami begins t>> swing his great body from side to side. Then in a flash he wheels, catches the offender with his trunk and hurls him perhaps twenty feet away, following swiftly to crush the life from his body with bU mighty knees. mMBERUiNS I COUGH OtTBIM Coughs, Colds, CROUP, Whooping Cough Thli rtmcdy caa ilvity 1 b« dtptnutd upon and It plratani la ukt.
