HOW WE TASTE.
The Middle e the To Is the Most
aMMltlV.
Strictly speaking, with the tip of the
tongue one cannot really tate at all
If you put a dropof oil of bitter almonds
on that port of the month you will find,
no doubt, to your great surpriw, that it
produce no effect of any sort; you only
taste it when It begins slowly to diffuse
itel f and reaches the true tasting region
in the middle distance. Itut if you put
a little mustarn or cayenne on the same
nart vou w ill find that it bites you im
mediatelythe experiment should lie
tried sparingly while if you put it
lower down in the mouth you will swal
low it almost without noticing the pun
gency of the stimulant.
The reason is. says the Yankee Wade,
that the tip of the tongue Is supplied
onlir iith the nerves of touch, not
nerves of taste nrotx r; they la-long to
totally different main brunch, ami they
c-oto a different cenU-r in the brain,

That is why the Mnell and taste of
these nungent substances arc so much
alike, as cveryWIy must have noticed,
a good snill at a mustard pot producing
almost the same irritating effects as an
incautious dose.
When one is trying deliberate experi
ments on the subject in onler to test
the varying sensitiveness of the different-parts
to different substances it is
ni-ccs'sary to keep the tongue uite
dry in order to isolate the thing you

The story is told that the late H. B.
Hayes had for a neighbor in Ohio a testy
old fellow who ran a small truck farm.
Ho was honest and upright and Mr.
Hayes held him in high esteem, not
withstanding his lack of social amenl
tius and respect for persons. On one of
his visits to Ohio during the presidency,
he passed the old man's farm and found
him planting potatoes in a patch near
the road. The president, lieing some
what of a farmer himself, notieed some
peculiarity in his neighbor's style of
planting, and after a few minutes' chat
he called his attention to it, and the old
man argued the point awhile.
"After all," concluded the president.
"I don't think you are doing it as it
should be done for the best results."
The old farmer rested his arm on the
fenee and looked steadily at Mr. Hayes.
"They ain't neither one of us," he
said, "above havin' fault found with us;
but ef you jest go on presidentin' the
t'nited States your way, an' I go on

Iluiiinea of the Town.
"Some time ago," remarked a lawyer
to a Louisville Courier-Journal writer,
"I had occasion to visit Texas. I
stopped at a little town one Saturday,
about noon, intending to remain there
until Monday morning.
"The proprietor of the hotel was a
gray-haired fellow, well preserved, and
apparently full of energy. I was con
sequently not very greatly surprised
when he informed me that he was also
a lawyer. He bad a big, stout wife,
and it struck me that he could very
well leave the hostelry to her while
he practiced law. He disappeared
shortly after noon.
"1 started out to see something of
the little town, and, needing a collar,
stopped in one or two dry goods stores
to buy one. I must confess that I was
somewhat staggered when I found that
the hotelkeeper, besides being a law
yer, was a clerk in a dry-g'xxls store
for it was he who smiled blandly at me
over the counter. I extended my walk
until night was falling, and as I ap
proached t'i hotel who did I sec light
ing the oil lamps in the main street but
the hotel proprietor! The next morn
ing, which was Sunday, I inquired of
him the way to church. ' ome on,
said he, 'I'll show you.' He tk me
into the church und showed me a seat,
after which he disappeared, saying he
must go and ringthe Im-11. In a few min
utes it was pealing forth its pleading:
Come, O, come, and soon the congre
gation had gathered.
I was prepared for anything al
most, after what I hail seen of mine
host's versatility, and was not much
surprised when he ascended the stairs
of the pulpit anil opened services.
Then he came down again mid manipu
lated the keys of the wheezy little or

then took up the collection, after which
he a'ain resumed the pulpit and
preached Bi fine a gospel sermon as I
ever heard. When services were over

a fervent prayer, the pastor closed up
the church.
" 'Wnnt sort of a man is Mr. So-and-so,

The earliest remains found which are
clearly defined as belonging- to an an
imal of the horse kind, were discovered
a few years since by Prof. Marsh of Yale
college, and hat been named by him the
eohippnt or the eocene horse, from the
lowest eocene beds of Green river,
Wyoming. This animal is many long
ages older than any of the fossils of Or
egon. He had three toes on the hind
foot, 2nd four well developed toes in
functional use on the fore foot, and in
addition on the fore foot, an imperfect
tiftb meta-corpal or splint bone with
rudimentary fifth toe like dew-claw.
He was also found to have two distinct
bones in the leg and fore-arm, like an
imals with the full mammalian number
of five toes have. This was a Jittle
fellow, no larger than a coyote.
Again, in the middle eocene beds, also
of Wyoming near Fort Bridger, is found
the orohippus, also first described by
Prof. Marsh, an animal like the pre
ceding one in eize and structure, except
that the dew-claw or rudimentary toe of
the fore foot is missing, leaving only
four toes on the fore foot. Then next in
the scale of modification, comes the
mesohipphus of the lower miocene
period or the period next succeeding the
eocene. In this one the fourth toe has
become a rudiment or splint. Still
again, in the miocene, the miohippus of
this country, and this is the first we
find here, of which a nearly allied specie
is found in Europe. It has been named
there the ancliithere. In this specie the
rudimentary fourth splint is almost
gone, and the middle hoof ia very much
larger, but the two aide hoofs are still
in uie. The two bones of the leg have
become united, but can be quite plainly
seen as two distinct bones. This one
was about as iarge as a sheep.
Then we have in the upper miocene
and lower pliocene, the protohippus of
this country and his allied kindred of
Ktirope the hipparion. This one is still
more like the modern horse, both in
size and structure. In this one the
rudimentary fourth toe is entirely gone.
The middle hoof is very much larger,
and the two side hoofs are smaller and
would have been of little use to him ex
cept in marshy ground. This one was
as large as the modern donkey. Many
line specimens of this have been found
here in Oregon in our splendid fossil
fields. Then in the pliocene of Oregon
and Nebraska is found the pliohippus,
an almost complete horse. In this one
the hoofs have been reduced by nature
to one, but still the splint bones are
quite well developed, and are somewhat
larger than in our modern genus called
equus. It only differs from our modern
horse in the skull, shape of the hoof,
and length of the molar teeth, and in
some quite unimportant details.
The line of descent in the horse has
been so rapidly traced as to leave no
doubt but that the noble animal thai
now so faithfully does our bidding, orig-
inated from the little eohippus of the
dark, dim and distant age passed so long
ago as to be almost beyond the mind of
man the sometimes cruel master of
this wonderful creature of God
I might mention in conclusion, that
the descent of the camel an animal next
to the horse most useful to man has
been traced back to an age almost as
distinct as that of the horse, and all
evidence tends to show that both of
these useful creatures originated on this
continent. A strange circumstance, but
these old records tell more truthful tales
than man will ever w rite. L. S. I).
