SECRET OF MEMORY.


Powers-Exercise and Practice.
Superstition knows no bounds. Ever
since men began to be civilized there have
been theorists who have made living-and
some of them q very handsome living-by
protesting to impart some wonderful secret
which should increase the beauty or prolong
the youth or strengthen the memory of the
credulous disciple. All men and some
women like to be thought young and beauti-
full; and the advantage of being able to say
at any moment when Queen Elizabeth died
and who stabbed Eglon, king of Moab, is
obvious to the meanest capacity. Teachers
of memory will always find occupation, but
those who think Of employing them should
think twice. There were distinguished pro-
fessors of the art in antiquity, Greeks for the
most part, omniscient and shifty, and ready,
as Juvenal says, to undertake anything,
from rope dancing to scaling heaven, for a
consideration Metrodorus, it is said by
Pliny, could repeat literally anything that
he had once heard Like astrology and

air of relation TO reality which is sure to
mislead the unthinking and the uncritical
and with the revival of learning in the Four
| teenth and Fifteenth centuries this fantastic
science came again into notice. 1t has never
quite lapsed into obscurity since that time.
| 1t is to be hoped that not many readers can
recall, as part of their personal experience,
| the career of NJ Gouraud who created an
excitement in this country forty years age
