In the old days, when the supply of
lunatics exceeded their accommodation
nt Bethlehem hospitnl, the ditllculty
wns not met by the building of tempornry
annexes, but by the admission of
outdoor patients, who went by the
name of Tom o' Bedlams. As an old
chronicle tells us: "They lind on their

Inches long. They wore nbout their
necks n great horn of an ox in a string
or bawdry, which when they came to a
house for alms they did wind, and they
did put the drink given tlicnl Into this
horn, whereto they did put a stopple."
It was found, however, "that several
vagrant persons do wander nbout the
city of London and countries, pretendIng
themselves to be lunatics under
cure In the hospital of Bethlehem, with
brass plates nbout their arms and inscriptions
thereon," and these occasional
patients hod* in consequence to l>e

"Sir." returned the lad.
"Do you know where little boys go

"Yes. sir." the other answered. "They

MEN'S FIVE SENSES, j
CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THEM NOT I
GENERALLY KNOWN.
The Nerve* of TnMe Are P?r?lr*e* !
by Either Very Hot or Very Colt
I.I a (ltd*?The Knr I* ? Wonderfil
Orsnn?The Bye* Knnlly Deceived.
For sonic unknown reason different I
ports of the tongue nre assigned for j
the peroeptlou of different tastes.
Willi the tip we taste sweet substances
and salts, with the back we taste bitter
things and with the sides we tasto ,
acids. The middle part of the tongue's
surface has scarcely any sense of taste
at all.
The long nnmed substance parnbroinbenr-olc
sulphluldc produces a most re
mnrkable effect, for It gives n sense of
sweetness to tlic point of tlie tongue |
and ot bitterness to the bnek. Pure
water tastes sweet after sulphate of
magnesia.
We can only taste things In solutlon;
hence If the tongue were perfectly
dry It would not be nfTccted by the
strongest flavored substance In a dry
state.
The taste nerves are paralyzed by
very hot or very cold liquids. After
drinking very hot or Ice cold water
we could not taste even such a substance
as quinine. This fact supplies
a useful hint for consumers of ill flavored
medicines.
Smell, though the least useful, Is the |
tuost delicate of all our senses. Wo
ran smell the three-hundred-millionth
pnrt of a grain of inusk. No chemical
analysis can detect such minute quantities.
The most powerful microscope
would not render a particle ton thousand
times as large visible. We could
not taste It were It many thousand
times as large.
While we taste liquids, we can smell
only gases. Fill jour nostrils with eau
do cologne, and you will experience no
odor whatever. Fine as our sense of
smell Is, it has deteriorated Immensely
since the time when our forefathers
were wild men. The Calmucks can
smell an encampment twenty miles
away; the Peruvians can distinguish
all the South American races by their
odor.
But smell Is a sense highly susceptible
of cultivation even by the modern
white man. Dealers In ton. soloes, nor
funics and drugs, in consequence Of
their training, can distinguish the
fniutest differences in odors.
The organ of heurlng is one of the
most marvelous pieces of mochanlsm
lu the body. In animals the external
ear acts as a trumpet to collect the
sound waves; in man It Is little more
than an ornament, but the internal ear
is alike In both. So wonderful Is Its
construction that we can distinguish
sounds varying from forty to 4,000 vibrations
per second. This feat is performed
by a portion of the ear called
the organ of Cortl. What a wonderful
organ that Is may be understood from
the fact that It consists of 5,000 pieces
of apparatus, each piece being made
up of two roils, ouc Inner hair cell and
four outer hair cells?that Is, 35,000
separate parts. In some mysterious
manner the rods, with other things, are
tuned to different notes, and when they
vibrate tliey cause the hairs to transmit
an impulse to the nerve of hearing.
To be musical, therefore, is to have a
good organ of Cortl.
Why is it that scratching a piece of
glass with metal causes such an unpleasant
sound? Itccausc it Is what is
en I let! flic fundamental tone or tnc ear,
which Is very high. What the fundnmentnl
tone exuetly Is would take too
much space to explain, but if you blow
across the mouth of n bottle, a hollow
globe, etc., you get its fundamental
tone.
The ear is a deceptive organ, and it
is often n matter of guesswork to tell
whence n sound comes, indeed, if you
place the open hands in front of your
cars and curve them backward sounds
produced In front will appear to come
from behind.
Human beings and monkeys sec most
things with both eyes. Our whole field
of vision extends over 180 degrees or
half a circle. The middle half of this
we see with both eyes together, but
the qunrter at each side is seen only
with one eye.
AH other nnlmals see most things
with one ej*e only. Scarcely ever can
they fix both eyes ou anything at the
same time. Hut there are considerable
variations. A bulldog, for Instance,
somewhat closely approaches the condition
of a monkey. The larger the pupil
the greater the quantity of light
which enters the eye. Large pnplled
people, therefore, see the world in a
Drigtucr nnu more cnccrrui staio man
those with smnll pupils. They can see
things better In the dusk or at night
As every one knows from the optical
Illusion pictures, tho eyes are easily
deceived. A white square on a black
ground appears larger than a black
square of the saiuo size on a white
ground. Red near green looks redder;
blue near yellow looks bluer; white
near black looks whiter.
Touch really includes several senses.
Thus there nre spots on the skin which
feel heat only, spots which feel only
cold, spots which feel only pain, spots
which feel only pressure and spots
which feel tickling. These spots are
supplied with nerves capable of doing
only one particular duty. The sensations
of the skin are grouped by physiologists
Into three kinds?toacb, pain
and temperature. The skin which covers
a scar has only one kind of sensation.
It can feel neither pressure (touch
proper) nor temperature, but perceives
pain very acutely. The tongue Is the
most sensitive of all parts to touch, the
forehead and elbow to heat or cold.
We only dream sights and sounds.
We never dream tastes or smells. If
we dream of a flower garden, we see
the flowers, but do not smell them. If
we dream of a dinner, we see the dishes,
bat do not taste them.

I Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself nnd the skeleton, he laid the

In the slow, measured flow of sound
which he nnd the skeleton conjured
up. As the music swelled In n louder
strain I closed my eyes, for there was
something weird In that picture of innn

the shadows of evening decjwnlng
around them nnd the ever swelling nnd
ever softening music tilling the air

A Mdtrrlonn Infant.
The most marvelous child of history
was surely little Christian Ileinecken
of Lubeck, who died crowned with
honor and glutted with fame when lie
wus only a few months over four years
old and whose biography will be read
centuries hence side by side with those
of Shakespeare and Goethe.
When lie was but twelve months old
Christian had mastered the Pentateuch
so thoroughly that he could pass the

could converse fluently In French and

ancient as well as modern, while In his
fourth year he mastered the study of
the world's religious and church history.
Thousands flocked to Lubeck to
see and tost this miraculous child, and
he was summoned to the Danish court
to receive the homage of the king. But
his career was doomed to be as short
as It was brilliant, for he died when he
was but four years and four months

OLD ENGLISH HOMES.
The Unit Won llir Principal Apartment
In lite Mlilille Afff*.
AmUl all tlie luxury of n modern
home It Is linrtl to realize liow our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors llvetl in what
now would seem a condition of utter |
discomfort. Comfort was, however, |
gradually evolved, and the present nr- j
tlcle deals with the time when a re- (
fined condition of domestic life was
first beginning to assert itself. I
In tills connection It must be remom- 1
bored that during the middle ages In
Kngland there was a general revolution
In society. A new class had late- .
' ly sprung Into existence. Feudalism
i had been destroyed and the middle and
lower elements of the population were
rising.
With their social betterment came an
Improvement both In house construction
and Interior arrangement. Narrow
streets were still the order of the day. 1
sadly out of keeping with our modern 1
I Ideas of sanitary requirements, while i
I the houses were elilellv of the "linlf
timber" kind, sonic of which luul the
lower story (if stone nnd those nbove,
eneh projecting over tlie one helow, ;
consisted of a tlinher framework tilled
In with bricks. It was a picturesque
fnslilon, hut It did not provide sunshine
and air.
The rooms were usually small and :
dark. The hnll was the principal pub- .
lie apartment and remained the only \
part of the house una fleeted by the (
growing taste for domestic privacy. }
The general arrangement of this very i
Important part of the house Is made t
apparent to us In such pictures as that |
of the "Hundred Men's Hall" at St. \
Cross, nenr Winchester. I
As the hall was the usual scene of >
domestic festivities It was eonsid- *
trod necessary to have a gallery for
musicians. Sometimes this gallery occupied
two sides, though usually It
was placed at one end, opposite the
dais. Iu large halls the llreplace was
still In the middle, where there was
conslructed a low platform of stone of
a kind that may l>e seen In an old cut
representing the tlreplncc In the great
hall at Penshurst, Kent. Large Iron
dogs, or andirons, supported the logs.
In some parts of England they wero
called "cob Irons." A group of ornamental
flro Irons of the sixteenth century
is most Interesting. Often an Implement
placed beneath the flredog was
used for moving logs.
The walls of the hall were usually
furnished with tapestry, and In the
middle was n table with a bench on
each side. There were also a cupboard,
or "hutch," with side tables, one or two
ciinirs nmi pcrnnps a "settle." cunlrs
were still compnrntlvely rare. Buffet
stools were genera I ly provided, and
these conunonly lind a hole through tho
middle for lifting them.?Home Beautiful.

Mrs. P.'s little daughter Is very

who said frankly, "No, 1 didn't; I had

stricken with heart disease. Mr.
Iteigliter was n ditch contractor and
prominent in his locality. It was 011 n
rainy day that deatli came, and he was
well prepared for the weather. He was
wearing a broad brimmed hat, a mackintosh
over his suit of clothes and his
trousers legs wore in ms runner noots.
Tlu; members of the family, wishing to
reinoinlior hint as he looked when last
he hade thein goodby, employed a man
alnint the same size and Iniild as Mr.
freighter to have his photograph taken
in the clothes last worn by the deceased,
and when he had carried out
llie idea they replaced the head on the
photograph with the head of a likeness
of Mr. licightcr. This picture was sent
to a sculptor in Italy, with the request
that a life sized statue be made from
It in Italian marble. Tlic statue Is true
to life. It cost $3,000.
Power Stored In Wntrh Springe.
Many wntches make live beats per
second, 300 each minute, 18,000 every
hour or 432,000 per day. Thus It will
be seen that half a dozen turns of the
key once a day, taking tip but a few
seconds of time, store lip n modicum
of power In the spring which is cut up
Into nearly 1,000,000 beats. If we multiply
the daily beats by 3G3V4. the number
of days in a year, we find that
the watch ticks 137,788,(MX) times while
