Sadlier g. Co.
Here is another new school book Of over two
hundred pages, printed in large clear type, on
strong white paper, and solidly bound in
handsome brown cloth covers.
Although not voluminous the work seems
quite complete as a course of French reading,
the mastery of which will go far to perfect the
scholarship of the student.
1t would not be amiss, in future editions to
indicate upon the title-page and in the pre-
face, that the book is prepared especially for
the benefit of EDglish-speakinG pupils, mas
much as all the Instructions pronunciation
are given in that language.
The opportune appearance of this valuable
work at the opening of the scholastic year, is
another verifcation of q late remark that ''the
agitation of the education question through
out the world, has given an unusual impetus
to the activity of Catholic publishers every
where; and our hope is that this agitation
may continue till the whole world be forced to
admit that the Catholic system of education is
the only one fit for human beings, since it alone
educates the tchole man-not only his braire
and mind, but his heart and soul as we'll.

How TO CURE BAD MEM0RY.-Your
memory is bad perhaps ; but l can tell you
two secrets that will cure the worst IL en-
cry. One ia to read q subject when strongly
interested. The other s, to not only read,
but think. When you read a paragraph or a
page ola book, close the book, and try to re-
member the ideas on that page, and not only
recall them vaguely in yonr mind bat put
them into words and epeak them out.
Faithfully follow tn, 81 t~o rules, aud you
have tho golden keys Of knowledge Be-
sides inattentive reading, there are other
things injurious to memory. Ore is
the habit of skimming over newspapers,
| items If news, smart remarks, bits OF lntor-
! nation, political reflection, fashion notes,
all in a confused tumble, never to be
thought of again, thus diligently cu'tivatipg
habit of careless reading hard to break.
Another is the reading of trashy novels
Nothing is so fatal to reading with profit as
the habit of running through story after
story and forgetting them as soon as read
I know a gray haired woman, lifelong
lover of books who sadly declares that hel
mind has been ruined by such reading.

HEALTH OF Plus TX The Roman correspon-
dent of the Lnirers, referring to the various
statements in the English papers about the
regulations OF future Conclave, quotes the
words of . French physician addressed to him
self Immediately after audience at the
Vatican. "The Pope" he said, " is healthy
and vigorous; he has disease all his or
gans are 10 perfect harmony with eoch other,
aud his look, voice, and gesture are those Of q
man Of sixty, and not of An old man of eighty
five. He may live, and even ought to live,
barring unforeseen accidents, for ten years
longer" This, observes the correspondent, did
not surprise me, for it is only what all the
other doctors say, and We may ourselves add
that suoh lie also the Impression which the
robust old age of the Supreme Pontiff makes
upon those of our countrymen who have re-

During our last unsuccessful war for indie
pendeuce, in 1868, we once met, on the streets
Of Mobile, q venerable gentleman who was
pointed out to US as a survivor of one of the
most noted Indian fights in the STATE of
Alabama. While remembering perfectly well
the meeting, treacbesous memory forbids our
recalling the name of either the veteran him
self or the encounter which he survived but
the thrilling Incident Ct Alabama history in
another column, reviyes a wish to know more
of both, and these lines are written in the
hope that some good STAR reader in Alabama
will furnish the desired information. Most
particularly would We be glad to know IL any
of the Austill family are yet living, for we
should like if poss BILE, to procure reliable data
whereby to clear away some of the seeming
discrepancies in the various accounts given by
Claiborne AID Pickett. Will some of our
Mobile friends favor the STAR in this matter.
