With most other substances, however, the reverse Is true. In these cases tho tip of the tongue serves only for touch. Ing It Is the back part that tastes.

We have no evidence of the time when man did not nave me Knowl edge of producing fire. It Is certain that man possessed fire as far back as Qunrternary time. In tho case of the earliest rave men we find numerous hearths, ashes and cinders, bone wholly or partly ralclneil, ana fragments of pottery blackened by smoke. As far back as we can go we find man cooking his food. As to how men came by their knowledge of fire there is room for a wide difference of opinion. Its use was probably first known In some volcanic region, where It was suggested by nature Itself. Then ... dm tun sticks, and later on the flints. could produce the necessary agent at will. The Electric Railway. Perhaps the earliest hint of the electric railway was that given by tho Vermont blacksmith, Thomas Daven port, who In 1833 exhibited in Spring field. Mass.. the model of a circular railway und an electro-mngnetlc loco motive. The first practical trip made by a motor car In this country was that given by Dr. Charles Oaf ton 1'ngo in lS'.l. Aided by an appropri ation from Congress, ho constructed an electric locomotive with which a trip wns made from Washington to IUadensburg, on the Washington branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road, on April 29, 1S51. on which oc casion a rate of Bpeed wns nttalned, on a nearly level plane, of some nino teen miles an hour.

"You might tr; my throat," ald the gillie. "It's dr; enough! "-Fishing Gazette. "Listen, mother. Now we run go buck to the old country, for the pro-fe:--sor bus just written mo that there la a sm:ill opening in the unlversltiit." The kindly, wrinkled far", turned tip to him. beamed wb.ii ploanm. "Ah, Karl," she replied. "It make.-i me so happy! At last, wo can go back to whore the father has died. Here everything has been so strange to me. I cujinot feel myself one of them. It is the Heidelberg that calls us again, Karl." The warmth of her feeling was shown by her quivering lips und misty eyes. Tears of a new born hap piness trickled down her checks and fell upon her worn and rusty waist of black. "Yes, mother, we shall go back to the people who understand us. I Hhull go und write at once." Ho turned away, suppressnm .i . i l,lu littln weary sign, aim ron room. The forced gladness oi hi look and manner departed, as the cur tains fell behind him. So this, then, was tho end of nil, the sum total of nil his years of work. Again and again ho hud tried to get a foothold hi the country, to get a cm.m o. .x he was returning, a self-confessed failure. The only balm offered to his grief-stricken soul was the hap piness of his mother. It had been her one desire to return home. She hud always called it home, there In her native land, l'or years he had seen a wistful look upon her face, nnd had read It aright. It was the home, calling for her to return to loo nhuo where her true -friends were, where her husband lay buried. Suddenly the doorbell rung. the last delivery. "Letter for you, Mr. Schumacher, the postman said cheerily, as he saw tho silent and weary expresi-ion or. the face of the man who opened the door. Ho tould read such expres sions. , . Karl took the letter, and went back to his room and read: "Mr. Schumacher: "Dear Sir You have been appoint ed to a position in the Department of Agriculture, on the merits of your recent botanical thesis. The place vj advantageous for original research, and affords ample opportunity for rapid advancement. Tho salary will be $1,500 to begin with. Further in creases depend entirely upon tho value of the services rendered. Sin cerely yours, "SKC. OF AORICl I.TritE." . He read nnd reread the letter, which had tho effect of an overflowing draught of happiness, poured Into a despairing heart. The cloud or (lis appointment that had hung hrav.v about his brow melted, as under a sunbeam, nnd a hurst of happiness lightened his haggard features. His reward had come at last! Now, here was everything before him. Tho heavens were once more bright and rosy. The world put on Its holiday hues. He would tell his mother, that Bhe, too, might share his cup of Joy He rose hastily, and went toward the door with a Joyful note, full o;t his lips, drew usido the curtains, and paused. She was asleep. Lying back In tho old leather arm chair, her face, her very attitude, showed absolute con tentment. About her mouth there hovered n smile, as though she was dreaming pleasant dreams, whilo the light of the little oil lamp, by her sldo, shed a radfanco over the time worn features, that al most hallowed them. It had been so long since he had seen that look of peaceful rest upon his mother's face, that the mad stopped in sneer won derment. Then he remembered. That f recollection was a stub to ins new born hopes, for he knew she was dreaming of home, the place that she was going to see. He had promised it to her. Even now, she was keep ing. In the land of spirits, of dreams, a tryst with tho deud. A last look of numb misery, with Intermingled filial love, and he let the curtains drop noiselessly. How could he tu"ke, bo soon after giving, that new found happiness from her and darken the last years of her life? But there was his cliance, !" A FAMILY OF TWENTY-FIVE. The Van F.enaelears Have Fifteen Daughters and Eight Sons. To Ann Arbor comes Gottlieb Van Bensolear seuklng co-edueatlon and a home. He Is from Missouri and can show them In Michigan fifteen daugh ters and eight boiis. It Is a great family to have grown up with the sou' b west. As the s'ory goes, Mr. Van Ilense lear's diilicuHy Is to find a hoime big enough for his domestic battalion. They are not building In Ann Arbor to the scale of twenty-five persons for a single domicile. Not out there, as In our fortunate metropolis, do suites of thirty-two rooms and six baths offer themselves at modest rentnls of "from $tS,.V)0 up." Not the worst Intentional , Michigan landlord, surveying the train ' of Van Henselear heirs and heiresses, llmlH It necessary to put up the sign, j "no children taken." Four of the Van Ilcnscleur girls are ready for college. Each owns a cow ; and none means to let her pursuit of i coeducational culture Interfere with i her duties In the dairy. We hope tho l.ovs In the family are even half as diligent ond determined. There should ho no company better qualified than this group of Missouri hopefuls to demonstrate at wholesale that a college training does not necessarily detract from natlvo adaptability. Religions of the World. Pr. Zeller. director of the Bureau of Statistics, Stuttgart, Germany, es timates tho world's population, classi fied nccordlng to religious ndherenco, as follows: The total of the human race Is l.r. 1 1, ill 0,000, of whom Ml.fMO, 000 are nominally Christian, 175,200, 000 are Mohammedans, 10,S0,000 are Jews, and 823.120.000 are classed as heathen. Of these latter 300,000,000 nro Confucians, 2l1.000.0u0 are Bra hmins, and 121,000,000 nro Buddhists. Others adhere to various strange re ligious cults. Out of every 1,000 In habitants of the earth there are nomi nally lllii Christians, 111 Mohamme dans, 7 Israelites, and 533 of other religions. From the standpoint of hu man probability, the evangelization f tho whole world Is a task that baf lies our expectation, but our Lord said, "All nuthority hath been given unto Me In Heaven nnd on earth, Go ve therefore, nnd make disciples of nil tho nations."- Presbyterian of tho South. DEW AS DRINK WATER. Method of Collecting for Use of Sob diers at Gibraltar. Hitherto dew has been used as a beverage only In poetry, by tho sun, flowers, nnd butterflies. It had re cently been robbed or all Its poetic character by being used for the re freshment of English soldiers. Tho English administration at Gib raltar, where water Is very scarce, now collects dew ( by the following very simple method: A large pit Is dug In the earth and covered with dry wood or straw, which In turn Is covered either with earth or with sheet Iron. The straw or wood serves ns a heat Insulator and effectually prevents tho conduction of heat from the ground to the layer of earth or the sheet Iron above. Consequently this enrtn or Iron cools after sunset much moro rapidly than the ground, so that its temperature soon falls below tho clew point of the surrounding air. Hence dew Is formed upon the Iron or the layer of earth In very lnrgo quantities. The water thus obtained Is drained off Into reservoirs ond niter clarification is used for drinking. The Radioactivity of Snow. There has recently been published In Paris, a resume of the results ob tained by French scientists from their study of the radioactivity of the snow that fell at Boulogne during tho past winter. It has been known since P.I04 that newly fallen snow Is radio active, but the subject has not before been so fully examined. ( The Investigators announce thnt . . . . . - 1. .1 snow qnlcKty gatnereu uuer lis c sccnt to the earth is highly radioac tive. Radioactivity disappears almost entirely after tho lapse of two hours, however. Snow which has fallen on the soil appears to retain Its radioac tivity n littlo longer than that which has come to rust upon tho roofs of buildings. thnt bud come to him. What was he going to do with it? Tho lighting demons of ambition, of glory arrayed them selves In crushing numbers against his better self. Why must he glvo up the oportunity of n lifetime? No, he would break it to her gently, lov ingly. She would understand. Once more he went to the curtains and looked. . Tho sight or the hap piness, engendered by him, on her face, scared with the strife of many years, awakened In him the littlo guiding voice, which, single-handed, Btood to light off his worldly thoughts. Tho weight of his heartfelt emotion Increased as he reflected upon what her life had been, so unselfish, so helpful, giving all. Now that she wus j to reap the goodly harvest was he to snr.tch It from her? j In a God-given Impulse his nobler nature conquered, nnd stealing to her side he bent down and kissed her Tur rowed brow.

The name Arkansas (pronounced Ar'knnsaw) was that of an Indian trlbo found by the present explorers within the limits or the present State. About 1CS5 Frenchmen settled at Ar kansas Post. Arkansas formed a part of the Louisiana Territory till 1S12, and of Missouri Territory till 1810, when It was organized as Arkansas Territory, including Indian Territory.

The Flanders at $700, is a smaller machine but none the less de sirable. Don't tie yourself up until you have carefully examined these machines.
