1t has always formed part of the pro-
fcssional conjurcr's education to acquire
th0power Of making instant mental note
of many objects. The author of an in
'gcnious article in the Gdrtenlaube, sug.
gests the idea that the ability possessed
by most people, of distinguishing from
three to five objects at glance, may be
so perfected that they mind will find it
possible to take ne bSf at least thirty ar.
ticlcs in the same length Of time.
Indeed, well known arithmetician,
Dasc, who died in 1861, declared that he
could count thirty objects of the same
kind as easily as other people could count
three or four
The truth of this assertion was often
proved wien the arithmetican, with
lightning rapidity, gave the correct num-
Der of herd Of sheep, of the books in a
library, or the window -pancs in large
house.
Apart from the usefulness of this ac
quired power, the method of teaching it
may be found very amusing as game.

may easily be made by placing several
small objects, such as pins or coins, un-
der sheet of paper, then lifting the pa
per so that one may glance at the articles,
and give an immediate guessing to their
number.
At first the eye finds it possible to dis
tinguish only three or four objects, but
practice soon enables it to manage any
under ten with the same facility. Above
that number the process becomes more
difficult. Conscious counting should be
avoided; the articles should merely be
valued.
To perfect ones self in this practice,
black spots may be made, forming vari-

ually increased, and the position altered.
It is also found advisable to open 0
book at random, cover part of the page
and guess at the number of lines left Wis
iblc. Unconscious counting, though diff
fcult at first, thus becomes purely me
chanical.
Herr Preyer, the advocate Of the sys
tenn, says the sensation OF person prac
tised in unconscious counting, whe,
looking attentively at large numbers o
objects, is that their number shoots rap
idly through the head. .-YouthS Com

NEWS AND COMMENT.
A Shocking Outrage.


The Nashville medical colleges dispose
of subjects from their dissecting tables
by dumping them, packed in barrels, into
the Cumberland river. At least this is
fair inference to be drawn from the fact
that several barrels containing the mutil
ated remains of human beings have been
found floating in the Cumberland, or
washed ashore on Its banks, within the
past five weeks.
The barrels all bore indications that
they came from Nashville, and as it is
not probable that CORY murder mill is
being worked in that city and its victims
thus disposed of, the only tenable theory
is that the dead bodies are discarded
"stiffs' from the medical colleges.
Common decency and humanity should
suggest that these bodies be buried when
they have served the purposes Of science.
II is revolving and inhuman that they be
packed up like so much garbage and sent
adrift in the river-but that Is not Of

Think q Little.

Did you ever sitfdown on Saturday
night and make careful inventory of the
week? Did you ever stop to consider the
number of "nickles' and dimes spent
during the week for which you have
nothing to show? Did you ever think
how much money could have been saved
for rainy day from the weeks earnings,
had you done as y.u ought to have done
to yourself and the loved ones at home?
Can you not on Saturday night look back
over your acts of the past week and see
where you could have been the means of
doing good to some poor creature, some
unfortunate one whose toll could have
been made easier by some pleasant word
from you, which, having neglected the
opportunity you have feeling oi regret
and could you but live over again the days
that are gone, you would have lived them
better? These are but few OF the many
thoughts that come to the minds Of the
considerate on Saturday night.

Strike Notes.

Strikers in Milwaukee last week started
for the Bay View Mills, on the outskirts
of the city, to attack the militia who were
guarding the mills Their refusal to
obey an order to halt when they had
nearly reached the mills was followed by
a volley from the militia. Two men were
killed, four were fatally wounded, and
others more or less injured were taken
away by their friends. The mob then
dispersed. There was great excitement
in Milwaukee all day.
In Chicago Spies, Fieldcn and Schwab,
the Anarchists who incited last week $
riot, were arrested and held without bail
on charges of murder. Explosives and
incendiary documents were found in
Spies's Office. The Mayor has issued a
proclamation iorbidding mass meetings
or crowds in the streets. The police are
heavily armed with rifles and revolvers.
The Anarchists destroyed considerable
property and exchanged some shots with
the police, who dispersed them. One
policeman and one striker were hurt, and
several rioters were arrested.

Senator Butler and Senator Hampton,
Of South Carolina, have but two sound
legs between them. Neither of them
uses crutchcs, and each wears cork leg
with such skill that the ordinary behold
er would scarcely believe that they are
thus afflicted. Hampton lost his leg
since the war in an accident; Butler left
his leg at Brandy Station twenty>four

ago, Butler took trip to the place where
he was shot and where, standing by his
