How to Remember.

DR.. Allen Starr has just been kind
enough to tell us GLOW We Remember
Things" in our ever readable f. c., the
PoDular Science Monthly.
This paper should be read carefully
BY the man who always forgets every
thing. even when he makes memorial
da on his cuffs, and has his wife tie q
piece of string around his finger every
incoming when he leaves home for the
office.
IL should also be read by the woman
who forgets to few the vital button on
her husband vest for about eight con-
secutive weeks. although he leaves it
home every day to be fixed.
Yet, while we strongly recommend
DR.. Allen STAIRS article to the public
as one OF scientific value, we must say
that we don't remember things on his
plan. IS.
Once when we were a blushing boy
We assisted some equally wicked COM
panions in robbing an apple orchard.
The apples were about the sweetest
specimens we ever tasted. even includ-
ing railroad apples. But it was NOT
their extreme mellowness and sweet
ness. which melted into our soils and
trickled down our faces. that causes US
to remember them to this day.
1t was the boots of the farmer and
the teeth of the bulldog that i'm
pressed that adventure SO wildly on
our minds
We remember PLAYING hockey to so
swimming in March by being lifted off
the floor by the ears on the following
morning and damned around in .
pretty lively manner for i've or six
minutes. s4s. .s s..s,SE
We remember. during childhood. the
sharpness of our fathers IA. or, not SO
much by the beautiful pearl handle Is
by the odd appearance our thumb pre-
sented as we wriggled the stump end
Of it in the air and ga led re!iectively on
the nail-end that gemmed the Brussels
at our feet.
We once went out with comic opera
company, and we shall never forget it.
1t is one of the things that will stick to
our memory like face-powder 10 the
shoulders of swallow-tail. Yet, it is
not the dulcet strains OF the opera or
the beauty of its setting that causes it
ever to linger with us like fairy
dream. is5.ssfsf.sF.
1t was the walk home from Lansing
that impressed the details Of that tiip
on us. When we arrived in the city
our feet wee as large as hams, and we
had to remain indoors and wear carpet
bags on them for week.
We remember all the malaria we
ever had by the flavor Of the qulnine
that we can taste yet.
It is not ne essary to go ON to state
how we remember the features of the
Sheriff, or the day on which we become
welded to our salary; but we will say
that we do not do it by Dr.. Allen
STAIRS theory, according to which /:
would be impossible for us to remember
to return our friends book or um.

Flirty Mexican Women.

The favorite hour for stroliing about
the streets here, for the ladies.s both
Mexican and foreigners. walking les
urely along. staring in the shop VIM
dows. occasionally entering TO make
their purchases or to pull over the
dress goods and trimmings and drive
the Gle. ks distracted in the good old
American lady fashion, and then de-
part without buying anything, just the
same as in the cities of the N.-fh.
The Mexican ladies' love admiration.
like to be noticed, even stared a. in the
streets and all public places by men.
You can see this to be the case from
their pleased manner when they are
closely observed by strangers, parti u
larly by foreigners. 1t is remarked
upon by every foreigner. no matter of
what nationality, who comes here.
Probably the true reason for this is
that Mexican husbands. with rare ex-
ceptions, are not affectionate for long
period after marriage; they soon grow
weary of their wives and seek distrac-
ton and affection elsewhere than at
home. Furthermore The position of
the wife here is not so favored. so hon
ored a one as it is in the United States.
A shade of the ancient Oriental idea
that wives should be the slaves, the
servants OF their husbands. per-
vades Mexican home life, and the wife
is. in many respects. decidedly the in
ferior of her husband. This inferiority
is felt, not only in the lower grades of
society, but even among the hi. hest
classes. Though unacknowledged,
perhaps, in words, it Is expressed in
actions and in the relations between
husband and wife,. Hence 1t is not
strange that Mexican women should
seek for admiration and sympathy
from other men than their own spouses.
And. inasmuch as many of them have
heard or read of tho superior position
held Ds the women in American socie-
ty, and of the devotion of the average
American to his wife. and the universal
gallantry of the stronger sex towards
the physically weaker one IN the
United states, it is not strange that;
Mexican women of the higher classes
usually look with favor up n American
men-if they are gentlemen. How
ever, American men are not apt to be
strongly fascinated by Mexican women,
IS even the best of them are badly ed
ucated. poor conversationalists (talk-
ing Of nothing but their .'noviosa
beaux, dreS, and 1.-THE Church, very
fanatical IN religion. and very few of
