Surtous Facts About Memory.

A French scientist has been studying
the faculty of memory as exhibited by
different races, and its relation to the
other mental faculties as shownin indi-
viduals of the same race. His statements
are interesting;
Tie inferior races of mankind, such
as negroes, the Chinese, etc, have more
memory than those OF d high type of
civilization.
Primitive races which #ers Hnac-
quainted with the art Of Writing had a
Wonderful memory, and were for ages
in the habit of handing down, from
generation to another, hymns as volum-
nous as the Bible.
Prompters and professors of declam4
alton know that women have more
memory than men. French women will
learn a foreign language quicker than
their husbands.
Youths have more memory than adults.
It Is well developed in children, attuins
its maximum about the fourteenth or
fifteenth year, and then decreases.
Feeble individuals of d lytiphatic
temperament have more memory than
the strong. Students who obtain the
prize for memory and recitation ch1ehy
belong to the former class,
Partisan students have also lessmem-
DRY than those who come from the prov
inces. At the Ecole Normale and other
schools the pupils who have the best
memory are not the most intelligent.
Thememory is more developed among
the peasantry than among citizens, and
among the clergy. than among the laity.
From a physiological point of view,
memory is diminished by Overlooking,
~ physical exercise, 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, in the
summer than in the winter, and better
in warm than in cold climates.

A Model School.house.

The Sanitary Engineer offers a
reward of $500 for the best plan of a
model school-house. Our small boy will
contest for hat prize. His working
model is not yet ready, but we may
state that his idea of a model school
house is one in which the teacher never
ticks; where recess comes five times of
a morning, vacation every other week,
and examination never; where all
studies are elective, and chewing gum
is insisted upon; where there is coed
ucation of the sexes, provided the girls
are pretty, and where there is no pun
ishment for a fellow save sending him
to sit by the girl to whom he was caught
passing notes.-ALba71J Journal.

A RumanIy Gang.

A gang of six roughs attacked the
door-keeper of the Catholic fair at Pitts
burgh, a few nights since, and wrested
from him the entire receipts of tine
evening. They first took the p~recaution
to turn ont all the lights. In the con-
fusion several persons were injured.
Several of the ladies tainted, one lady
being so badly frightened that it is
thought she will not recover. No ar
rests have been made up to the present
writing.

How He Made Economy Tremble.

Many years ago we knew a nan
~good-natured, harum-scarum old sailor
who, though an inveterate smoker
and even more i~mprovident than the
average of his class, was u great hand
to save in the expenditure of matches.
He would fill his pipe and then wait
for an hour until he saw some Other
smoker preparing to light up, when he
would stand by to get a light himself,
and if the two pipes were sue
cessfully lighted with the one match
he would exnltiDgly remark, 81 say,
matey, amt this maxim economy trem-
hlel" Then when Saturday night
came he would go on a spree, and spend
as much money in whisky as would
have kept him in matches for a year.

A medicine shouId mot be Guased

By the suddenness and violence of its effects.
Self-evidcnt as this proposition would seem,
there are many foolish persons who are con-
tent only with a remedy Which acts abruptly:
The pill and other nostrum-vendors who trad5
upon the credulity of this class, find their " best
holt as poor Artemus Ward termed it, in the
sale of violent purgatiyes. So long as they
wrench the bowels of their dupes sufficiently,
they are pretty sure of a certain measure OF
success. If instead of such pefniciUus rubbish,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used, the results
are widely different. The bowels sre re-
lieved, but always gently, by this pleasant
laxative, which does not weaken but invig-
crates them, and endoWs the cooperative or
gans of digestion and bilious secretion with
activity and regularity, strengthens the con-
stitution and physique, and while it is safe in
its constituents, is sufficiently prompt in opera
tion.

A correspondent writing from
Greenup, KY, says: About three weeks
ago the farm houses of Charles How
land, a highly respected farmer of this
county, were set on fire, and partly
burned down, causing serious damage.
Rowland was sick in bed at the time,
and his health has grown worse ever
since, especially as all efforts to discover
the guilty evil doors have so far
failed, which seriously proved on
his mind. Probably, while thus
excited, he heard last evening, at 9
o'clock, somebody approach his house.
Selling a shot gun he rushed to the
door. and seeing the form of a man at
the fence gate, he called out, " make
yourself known or [ will shoot" At
the same moment his gun went of, and
one of the slugs pierced the abdomen of
the man, who proved to be Howland's
brother-in-law, Alfred Roberts, who had
come to call on Rowland in a friendly
way. Two hours later Roberts was a
corpse. The sympatbies with Rowland's
misfortune in thus accidentally killing
one of his most devoted friends are gen
eral.

A Word About Marriage.

A physician writes the following SEN
sible advice: My profession has thrown
me among women of all classes, and ex-
perience teaches me that God never
gave man a greater proof of His love
than to place woman here with him. My
advice is: Go and propose to the most
sensible girl you know of. If she says
yes, tell her how much your income is,
from what source derived, and tell her
you will divide the last dollar with her,
and love her with all your heart in The
bargain; then keep your promise. My
word for it hat she will live within
your income, and to your last hour you
will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Gentlemen, cont worry about
feminine untruth. Just you be true to
her, love her sincerely and tell it
to her frequently, and a more fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You won't deserve
her, I know, but she will never see it.
Now, throw aside pride and selfshness,
and see what will come Of it.

The New diamond.

Mr.. Jas. MacTear, of England, has
discovered a process for making dia.
monds. The announcement is exciting
considerable attention. Mr.. James
MacTear, who is of the st. Rolloix
Chemical Works, writes to the
London Times, certifying that ex-
periments have been made by various
persons who have been able to scratch a
diamond and engrave two rubies, two
sapphires, an amethyst and cairngorm
with the crystallized carbon sand OBJ
tanned by him. Mr.. Maskelyne of
the Mineral Department of the British
Museum, writes to the Times that
he worked with Mr.. MacTear during
many hours of Tuesday and Wednesday
last. The subject, he says, requires
further investigation, and while he has
as yet no evidence of the existence of
crystalline carbon among Mr.. MarTear's
specimens, he feels that Mr.. MacTear's
request is reasonable, and thai he should
invite suspension of opinion regarding
the ultimate result of his experiments.

1t appears from documents trans
mitted by the President to the Senate,
in response to a RESOLUTION requesting
him to furnish information, that the re-
ceipts and disbursements und,r the
agreement made between the United
States and the ] Ute Indians. in
September, 1873, jand ratif, d April,
1874, have BEEN as follows: Re-
ceipts to July II, 1879, $l29,315;
expenses for supplies, implements,
travelling expenses of delegations,
etc., $65, 2S9, leaving an ~unexpended
balance of $64,e25. During the same
period there has been extended in sup
port of the Utes from the annual APP
preparation made in accordance with
the treaty of 1868, 1881 ,003, which ex-
ceeds the requirements of the treaty.
The agreement referred to sets apart, as
a perpetual trust for the Utes, a sum of
money or Mbonds, sufficient to produce
$25, 600 annually, to be disbGrsed or in
vested at the discretion of the Presi-
dent. In explaining the admins
tration of this fund, the COMMISSIONS
of Indian Affairs says 1T has been ap-
parent foR some time past that the Ute
! Indians would either have to settle down
or chSnge their location, to avoid con-
tact with she increasing white mining
population Of Colorado. Only a very
few of them have shown an inclination
10 work at agriculture where they are.
IUnder such circumstances the treaty
funds have not been invested, as there
was reasonable expectation that early
action would be taken looking to
a permanent settlement of the Utes
where their support by agriculture
would be possible. and consequently
the money to their credit in the Treas.
ury would be needed for their comfort.
