CURING BAD MEMoRY.-Your memory
is bad, perhaps, but can tell you two secrets
that will cure the worst memory. One is to
read a subject when strongly interested. The
other is not only read but think. When you
have read paragraph or q page, stop, close
the book and try to remember the ideas on
that page, and not only recall them vaguely
in your mind, but put them into words and
speak them out. Faithfully follow these two
rules, and you have the golden keys of knowl-
edge. Besides inattentive reading, there are
other things injurious to memory. One is
the habit of skimming over newspapers,
items of news, smart remarks, bits of infor-
nation, political reflections, fashion notes, all
in a confused jumble, never to be thought Of
again, thus diligently cultivating a habit Of
careless reading hard to break. Another is
the reading of trashy novels. Nothing is 50
fatal to reading with profit as the habit of
running through story after story, and forget
ting them as soon as read. know gray
haired woman, lifelong lover of books, who
sadly declares that her mind has been ruined
by such reading.-St. Nicholas.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1881-05-26

b9~ The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, sends the following account Of the
latest scientific sensation : "A remarkably in
teresting experiment has just been made at
Calais and Dover, between which places a
conversation has been kept up viva voce by
means of new kind Of telephone, which has
been patented under the name of electrophone.
Not only were the words whispered into the
apparatus at Calais distinctly heard at Dover,
but the listener at one end was perfectly able
to distinguish, by the mere tones of the voice,
the person who was speaking at the other
end. The inventor maintains that it is just
as easy to talk across the Atlantic as from
one room to another, and be has succeeded so
we'll in the first practical illustration of bis
apparatus, that one is scarcely justified in
doubling his assertion that he has found out
a system by which words spoken from the
other side of the ocean can be distinctly
heard,

ANDERsoNv1LLE PR1soN.-An ex.soldier
writing from Macon, Geo., to the Chicago
Tribune, of Andersonvlle prison, says: "The
former strong walls of upright pine posts are
rapidly decaying, and in most places a ridge
of rotten wood is the only sign remaining OF
the once formidable barricades. Young oaks
and pines have sprung up rapidly since the
war, and many of them have attained height
of fifteen or twenty feet. The numerous wells
dug by. the prisoners for water still exist
The caves and burroughs which they dug for
shelter have mostly been changed into slight
burrows or ridges by the wear and tear of time.
The memorable providence spring" at the
foot of the hill, which suddenly burst out one
night, in the midst of a very dry time, when
the prisoners were praying for water, still ex'
lists. Its cool, clear waters are the sweetest
and freshest to be found in all that region.

INDUSTRIAL SECRETS.

Our ancestors had little faith in patent
laws to protect their rights in inventions.
What they discovered or invented, they con.
cealed.
Workmen were put upon an oath never to
reveal the process used by their employers.
Doors were kept closed, artisans going out
were searched, visitors were vigorously exclu-
ded from admission, and false operations
blinded the workmen themselves
The mysteries Of every craft were hedged
in by thick.set fences of empirical preten:
sions and judicial affirmation. The royal
manufactures of porcelain, for example, we're
carried on in Europe with spirit Of jealous
exclusiveness
His Majesty Of Saxony was especially
crcumspect. Not content with the oath of
secrecy imposed upon his work.people, he
would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor
of a brother monarch. Neither King nor
Kings delegates might enter the tabooed
walls of Meissen.
What is enormously called the Dresden
porcelain-that exquisite pottery of which
the world has never seen its like-was pro-
duced for 200 years by a process so secret
that neither the bribery of princes nor the
garruity of the operatives revealed it.
Other discoveries have been less success
fully guarded, fortunately for the world.
The manufacture of tin-ware in England orig
mated in stolen secret
Few readers need to be informed that tin
ware is simply thin iron plated with tin by
being dipped into the molten metal.
In theory, it is an easy matter to clean
the surface of iron, dip into bath of boiling
tin, remove it enveloped with silvery metal
to place for cooling In practice, however,
the process is one of the most difficult in the
arts.
1t was discovered in Holland, and guarded
from publicity with the utmost Wig lance for
