To solve the question of ballast many
expedients are resorted to. and the re
sults obtained often are l ingular. The
most popular ballast Is stone or rock,
and every shipmaster who halls from
the port of New York knows, or Is sup
posed to know ul hast, the relative
viiLio of certain grades of rocks at
various ports besides Ihe metropolis.
He cm dispose of a cargo of stout 10
contractors here which will more than
reimburse him for the expense of load
ing and unloading, and If Ihe shipmas
ter is alert he will arrange for such
disposal many months before his r
turn from some out of llie way corn
of the world.
Kvery time a stilling vessel returns
from a foreign port she usually is vis
ited by contractors or their agents,
who make competitive bids for her
ballast cargo of stone. If she carries
one. This stone Is used mostly for
milt ad. liaising and paving streets. Fre
quently material is brought over which
is good enough for building purposes.

One day a naturalist lay motionless
on a fallen log In the forest aud silent

grass near by. This was a large,
brown backed mouse, a meadow
mouse, that had come out from his
home under the log and when tired of
play had sat up to make his toilet.
I'slng Ids forepaws as hands, the
mouse combed the white fur on his
breast and licked himself smooth and
fleck. Satlstled at length with his ap
pearance be began to search for food.
lie did not have far to go, for u few
stalks -of wheat grew among the thick
weeds near at hand. The mouse wiih
so largo that be could probably have
bent the stall, down and brought the
grain within reach. If not, he could
certainly have climbed Ihe stall;. He
did not try either of those plans, how
ever, for these were not his ways.
Sitting up very straight, he bit through

The weeds were so thick thai (he

The function of the taste doubtless
sustains a much mote Important rebi
tion to digestion than has been gen
erally neeoidid to It, says In. Kellogg,
Food to be tiigested must be appetiz

may be regarded us a sort of re;;, la

be stlmnlaied and that it may have

- informs hlia of the fact

lion would be to
t-hct each i-aorst I of food until there
Is left only a ia -.icless remnant. It Is
useless lo swaiiow i.ueh a residue, ns It
can have tin nutritive value. When
food Is taken In this way, the sense of
taste has an opportunity to say j
"cte.e. gii" before too much has been i
swallowed and thus affords a perfect
means of adapting the amount of food
taken to tin needs of the body.
A careful study of this suggestion
will also show that the sense of taste,
If allowed to act In a normal wny, will
select those substances of which the
body Is In great need. For example. If
tin blood is Impoverished and needs
.'in extra supply of nitrogenous food
there will be a craving for such foods
its nuts, legumes nnd possibly eggs
and milk or some other substance con
taining iiltrogell.
A curious analogy to tlds function la
found In some insectivorous plants,
which, as has been shown by recent
experiments, refuse to capture Insects
or pay at'culhin to fragments of meat
placed within i heir grasp except when
l in soil upon which they grow is lack

these so called carnivorous plants
pease to be carnivorous and behave
wholly like other plants. The same
principle applies to the use of fat
making sub.- lances, such ns starchy
and oleaginous foods, such as nuts anil
cereals. The writer has frequently ob
served In tliin patients a craving for
flits, which disappeared entirely after
the pMiient had made a gain of "n or
:') pounds.
The taste was no doubt Intended by
Ihe Creator to be a perfect guide to
tiie quantity and quality of food to be
taken and not simply a means of gun
talory pleasure, l.'tiforlunatcly it has
been terribly debauched nml pervert
ed from Its normal function. Men and
women treat the palate as the pianist
trcais his lust rumeiit. touching it In
various ways simply for the purpose of
provoking plenMU'ul.!'.' sensations, with
no regard whatever for the possible
Heeds of the body or the possible dam
age which may be causid. The sense
of taste, lints wrongly educated, be
comes porwrled. and its Indications
become ctitifiis. d. Abnormal cravings
tire developed, which demand satisfac
tion in tiie use of tea. coffee, wine mid
other intoxicants, mustard, pepper and
other comlinietiis. large quantities of
sail, pickles ami rich anil savory dish
es of various sorts, together with
sweets, lees and tidbits of ull kinds.
Tiie sense of taste has been dethroned
from Its high position as governor of
nririlion ami has come lo be merely
the servant of n capricious ami insatia
ble desire for an Illegitimate sensa
tion, a purely sebisb animal pleasure.
