Some Curious Facts About Memory.
Medical Press and Circular.l

M. Delaunay has made a communication
to the Societe de Biologie respecting memory
as studied under the various biological con-
ditions. The inferior races of mankind, such
us negroes, the Chinese, etc., have more men,
DRY than those of higher type of civiliza-
ton. Primitive races which were unacquaint-
ed with the art of writing had wonderful
memory, and were for ages in the habit OF
handing down from one generation to an
other, hymns as voluminOus as the Bible.
Prompters and professors of defamation
know that women have more memory than
men. French women will learn a foreign
language quicker than there husbands.
Youths have more memory than adults
1t is well developed in children, attains its
maximum about the fourteenth or fifteenth
year, and then decreases. Feeble Individuals
Of Emphatic temperament have more
memory than the strong. Students who OBJ
tain the prize for memory and recitation
chiefly belong to the former class. Partisan
students have also less memory than those
who come from the provinces. AT the Ecole
Normale and other schools the pupils who
have the best memory are not the most in
telligent. The memory is more developed
among the peasantry than among citizens,
and among the clergy than among the laity:

the left side of the brain, and is much affect
ed in those OF the right, from which it may
be inferred that the right side is more the
seat of this faculty than the left. From a
physiological point of view memory is di-
minished by overlooking, by physical exer-
else, and by education, in this sense, that the
illiterate have potentially more memory than
those who know how to read and write. We
remember, moreover, better in the morning
than in the evening, and in the summer than
in the winter, and better in warm than in
cold climates. Memory is therefore, to GER
tain extent, in inverse proportion to nutri-
ton, and, more than that, it is in inverse pro-
portion to evolution, since it is greatest in
those individuals who are the least advanced
from an evolution point of view-inferior
races, women, children, the feeble, etc. In
short, according to M. Delaunay, there is an
evolution of the memory, which is first SEN
serial, literal, and then Intelligent; but mem
DRY, properly speaking, diminishes inversely
as the evolution.

British Inhospitality to Americans.


1t is to be feared Americans commonly
find English family circles not very accessi-
BILE. Every En- glishman has learned to value
the friendship of the few whom accident or
introductions have made known to him.
But for the majority of transatlantic visitors
English domestic life is as sealed book as
French or Italian. They arrive with kind
of belief that they are returning home; they
20 back with so much information of Eng
lsh nature and habits as can be obtained by
perambulating the streets and comparing
the fair and charges of thirty or forty hotels
in different parts of the Kingdom. A for
elgner among people speaking different
language. and all whose institutions lndi-
cate different origin, does not expect to
feel at home. Americans in England do not
feel themselves foreigners, and must be pain
fully surprised to discover how entirely they
are strangers. The contrast can scarcely fail to
be the ruder for the conviction of most Amer.
leans that in their own country they would
extend a much warmer hospitality to British
visitors.
The truth is that British visitors to the
United States at present gain by their rar-
ity, and American visitors to Great Britain
lose by their abundance. Englishmen in
the United States are still few enough to &C.
cupy the. position as guests of the Nation
Americans dsembark at Liverpool in
numbers much too n great fol
individuals to be noticed unless they
adopt means to render themselves individual
ly considered. In proportion as the inestima
! bic advantages begin to be understood of be-
ing able to observe the operation of British
qualities and institutions in new circum
| stances, English visitors to the United States
must prepare to dispense with the extraordi
nary attentions which at present minister t.
their sense of personal Importance. W.
| should rejoice if, on the other hand, English
men would take more pains to facilitate FOL
| Americans who desire it the means ofmakine
acquaintance with English life as it really
| is. The more direct the intercourse between
English and American homes the brighte
will be the prospect o. permanent interna
tional good will.

The Fatal influence of One Beautiful Wo

The Fatal influence of One Beautiful Wo-
man Over Mems Lives.
A most distressing affair recently occurred
in the suicide of Captain Edward Wright,
son of Judge "Jack" Wright, who was re-
Gently convicted and fined for his assault on
Secretary Delano, and then graciously par
doned by the President. Captain Wright
was one of the finest officers of the Ordnance
Corps, and his improvements and expert
ments in his line had gained for him great
credit. Two years ago he met at the Ark
ansas Hot Springs the beautiful Bessie Pas
chal, daughter of a noted Texas lawyer, and
divorced wife of Frank Gassaway. A more
fascinating and lovely woman is seldom seen
than she, and after a two weeks acquaintance
they were married. Three months ago they
separated, and since then Captain Wright
had been depressed and gloomy. After pain
full interview with her last week they parted
finally, she winging her way to Phila-
delphis and fresh fortunes, and he ending
his unhappy life with pistol-shot from-his
own hand. The career of his wife has been
something remarkable. Seldom outside of
novels and old memoirs do we know of wo-
man exertiDg such power over men by the
mere spell Of beauty. Grsybeards and cal
low youths have worshiped her and grave
politicians and professional men gone wlIo.
As a young lady she was belle and as q
lovely widow she exerted more potent
power. Don Cameron at one time was an
nounced as about to marry her, and the list
of his comrades is long one. A graceful
and perfect figure, great, sad, pathetic eyes,
fine features and a most lovely smile, first
impress one on seeing her, but the indescrib-
able charm, the strange fascination of her
ways, the witchery and magic of her,
are too evanescent and intangible for
prose. Her beauty, her life, and her fortunes
would need the worldly, gushing pen of
"Ouida" to portray some sides of it; for 9th
ers the profound analysis of George Eliot
could hardly suffice. AS a figure in the social
world she is destined to reappear, and those
who have watched the amazing incidents OF
her life since she first entered Washington a
precocious young witch of sixteen will not
be surprised at any sequel.

band are eight sapphires surrounded by eight |
diamonds, between which are eight festOons !
consisting of 148 diamonds. In the front of

Maltese cross, is the famous ruby, said to
have been given to Edward, Prince of
Wales, son Of Edward H., called the Black
Prince, by Don Pedro, King of CASTLE, after
the battle of Najera, near Vittoria, A. d.,
1907. This ruby was worn in the helmet o.

this ruby, in order to form the cross, are sew
enty -fve brilliant diamonds Three other NAL
tese crosses, forming the two sides and back of
the crown, have emerald centers and contain
respectively 1872, 124. and $50 billiant dia-
monds. Between the four Maltese crosses
are four ornaments in the form Of the French
fieur-de lis, with four rubies in the center,
and surrounded by rose diamonds, containing
respectively eighty-five eighty six, and eigh-
ty-seven rose diamonds. From the Maltese
cross issue four imperial arches composed OF
oak leaves and acorns; the leaves contain
| 728 rose diamonds and one table diamond
| thirty-two pearls form the acorns, set in cups
| containing fifty. four rose diamonds and one

monds in the arches and acorns is 10S bril-
liant, 116 tables, and $50 rose diamonds.
From the upper part of the arches are sus-
pended four large pendant pearlshaped
pearls with rose diamonds, and stems con-
tanning twenty-four very small rose dia-
monds. Above the arch stands the mound,
containing in the lower hemisphere 3O4 bril-
liants, and in the upper 224 brilliants, the
zone and arc being composed of thirty three
rose diamonds. The cross on the summit
has rose-cut sapphire in the center, sur
rounded by four large brilliants and 1O'
smaller brilliants.

Il Mrs. La,,qta.u Costume.

The "Jersey" costume, named after
the famous Mrs. LaDgtry, who Is ma
tive Of the Island of Jersey, (not New
Jersey, seems to have solved a great
many problems for English ladies, and
been accepted almost universally as a
most convenient aud useful form of short
dress. 1t consists of a loJg, woven
basque, usually worn with killed skirt,
mounted with scarf laid in folds, but 1t
Is also worn in other forms, and makes a
dress which does away entirely with the
necessity for cutting, fitting, or making,
the "Jersey" fitting perfectly through the
woven elasticity which adapts itself 10
every figure and simply covers 1t like an
elastic skin. The woolen Jerseys have
been very popular, but they have very
little beauty or elegance compared with
the woven silk, which are beautiful and
most charming In appearance upon a
well-rOunded figure.
None have been seen here as yet, ex-
cept those imported by and for private
individuals. Finely woven Cardigan
jackets have BEEN sold as "Jerseys," but
they do not differ from the ribbed knit
ted jackets of previous winters, except
in the fineness of the rib and the gradual
but steady improvement ia the outlines
The genuine "Jersey" will doubtless
make its appearance with the spring,
though it is by no means certain of ere
citing the furor here IL did in England,
where there is popularly great desire
TO get rid of trouble in regard to clothes
where women have generally less time
to spend upon them and figures that
show to better advantage in SO realistic

New York World: "The driver of the

than to cuff the small boy who pinched
his horse, for when the man went into
the palace dining-rooms' the small boy
took big stone and knocked out the
staple that held the bar across ten big
drawers in the bakers cart. Presently
the bakers man came out of the restau-

seat and started briskly down the street.
AT the first jounce the bar ratified down,
a drawer slid out, and big apple pie,
after chassezing about for few seconds,
