A Wonderful Feat Of Msmorp.

The history Of the celebrated conju-
rer Robert Houdin furnishes o romarka-
BILE example Of the power of memory
acquired by pratice. He and his brother,
while yet boys, invented q game which
they played in this wise. They would
pass q shop-window and glance into IL
as they went by without stopping, and
b e Mt the next corner compare notes
and see which could remember the
greatest number ofthings in the window,
including their relative positions. Hav-
ing tested the accuracy Of their observa-
tons. they would go and repeat the ex-
pertinent elsewhere. BY this means
they acquired incredible powers Of OBJ
%seryation and memory; so that, after
running by n shop-window once and
glazing as they passed. they would
enumerate every article in 1t. When
Robert became y professional conjurer,
this habit enabled him to achieve feats
apparently miraculous. 1t is told Of
him that, visiting n friends house
where lo had never been before, he
caught a glimpse of the bookcase as he
passed the h~alf-open library door.
In the course Of the evening, when
some of the company expressed then
anxiety to witness some specimens Of
his power, he said to his host, wei
sir. l shall tell you, without stirring
from this place, what books you have
in your library" Come, come" said
he incredulously; that is to good.
1--WE shall see" replied Houdin. LET
some of the company go into the library
and look, and l shall call out the names
from this ROOM" They did SO; and
Houdin began-''Top shelf, left hand.

aid:
"During my recent journey across
the western states from Kansas City
through Denver, Cheyenne. Ogden and
San Francisco, and back to Cheyenne
and Omaha through st. Joseph to Kan
sas City, l was much struck by the
singular resemblance between the con-
fguration Of the North American con-
tinent and that Of the moons surface

journey from Missouri to the Rocky

VS.. Merritt, tried in New York, rela-
tive TO the artificial coloring of sugar,
and others asked the secretary OF the
treasury on Wednesday to give the i'm
porters a hearing before the decision is
made whether a writ Of error will be
taken in order to have the question at
issue reviewed by the supreme court.
The secretary replied that he had al
ready decided to have a writ Of error
sued out, and a hearing was therefore
unnecessary. The secretary also gave
notice that the existing orders of the
department upon the subject remain in
force until the decision of the supreme
court is made known.
Treasury officials say II the rulings
at New York are sustained, and they
are In direct conflict with those of the
Judge In the Perot case, at Baltimore,

these questions is SAID to be more than
