From the facts at our command, there
is evidence that individual storage of life
may be far greater than the vast ma
jority of people either expect or hope for.
Tho mean duration of life in England
may be taken at Al years. But we have
instances upon instances in which this
storage of life is doubled, and some in
which it is trebled. / recently had, in
the consulting room, at the same time,
three gentlemen, whose united ages
reached the total of 262 years, or over 81
years each, and each with fair promise
of from four to- five years of life at least.
l also, within the present quarter, saw,
on the same day, two gentlemen, whose
united ages gave 1876 years, or an aver:
age of 93 years each. / have seen, and
carefully examined physically, woman
who had attained the ago of los years,
and who lived afterward for three or
four years. and once conducted an an-
topsy of a man who had passed his 93d
year.
There was nothing in the social condi-
ton of the individuals concerned that
could of itself account for such an tIn-
usual storage of life as that which they
presented. Two of those specially re-
ferred to were men of tire highest class
of mental power; the other has come
down from one of the Oldest of the noble
families of Europe; fourth has fought
his own way from the lowest position to
one of aff1uence and power; while the
oldest of all was, from first to last, in
ablect poverty and was in a workhouse.

mo voice OF Niarnn

In an article ON Niagara Falls, an
evening paper observes. anent the mighty
roar of its waters: One can never forget
the effect of listening to this mighty
voice for the first time, nor is it an un-
pleasant sound which assails the ear.
The roar is positively musical. they say,
and few years ago distinguished
American organist spent long time in
studying it, and trying TO learn the meas
ure and compass of its tones He finally
came to the conclusion that the deepest
tone made by the falling cataract was
that which would be produced by an
organ pipe about 160 feet in length, and
of proportionate dimensions as organ pipes
are made, Now. 160 feet, which is
about the height of the falls (this varies
from 100 feet to nearly $50 feetl. is much
longer than any organ pipe is made. and
the sound emitted by such a pipe would
not be, sensible to us as musical sound.
Therefore our ears could not apprehend
the music of the deepest tones; and as
our ears are ht fault. We give this deep
tones music such diseordant epithets as
noise and roar.
This story, according TO bne aeeount;
seems incorrectly stated. The organisk.
IN question Suggested sound not nearly
three octayes below thirty two feet G,
but about F sharp below that note. The
present writer tried to define the vast
harmonic hum of the great waterfalls.
and came to the conclusion that the task
was all but hopeless. although a steady
kind of tone seems to be maintained; /;
and certainly the imagination might
readily seize upon such a note as the au:
thority in question named, but whether
the indefinite sound could be described
as of foundation or upper partial tone
character it would be altogether impossi-
Bile to say.-London Musical World.

The origin of ideas.

While Capt. (afterward Sir Samuel
Brown was occupied in studying the
construction of bridges, with the view of
contriving ono of cheap description TO
be thrown across the Tweed, near which
he lived, he was walking In his garden
one dewy autumn morning, when he
saw tiny SPIDERS net suspended across
his path. The idea Immediately occurred
to him that a bridge of iron ropes or
chains might be constructed in like man.
ner, and the result was the invention of
his suspension bridge. So James Watt,
when consulted about the mode of car
rying water by pipes under the Clyde,
along the unequal bed of the river, turned
his attention one. day to the shell of a
lobster presented at table, and from that
model he invented an iron tube, which,
when laid down, was found effectually
to answer the purpose. Sir Isembert
Brunei took his first lessons in forming
the Thames tunnel from the tiny ship
worm. He saw how the little creature
perforated the wood with its vel armed
head, first in one direction and then in
another, till the archway was complete,
and then daubed over the roof and sides
with a kind of varnish, and by copying
this work exactly on. large scale Brunei
was at length enabled TO construct his
shield and accomplish his great engineer
ing work.-Once Week.

PEcuLlARlTlEs OF MEMORY.
Not One Only but Many Memories in Eac
Mind

Not One Only but Many Memories In Each
Mind.
It is manifest that there is not one
memory only, but many memories, in
each mind, and that one kind of memory
Is pre-eminently developed IN one person,
and another in another. "Memory, u
says Ribot, 'may be resolved into mem
ories, just as the life of an organism may
be resolved INTO the lives of The organs,
the tissues, the anatomical elements
which compose it." Referring exclu-
sively to the perceptive faculties. we need
only mention few thoroughly recognized
facts IN proof of this statement. Persons
having strongly developed organ of
what the phrenologists call t'individu-
ality" receive peculiarly distinct impress
sions of external objects, and, therefore,
of persons; hence they Immediately re-
cognize them on seeing them again, and
easily picture them to themselves from
memory.
Persons abundantly endowed with the
organ of locality" exhibit an astonish-
ing power of finding their way in regions
previously unknown 10 them, and of re-
membering the character of those they
have visited. Persons thus endowed, when
strongly impressed by the contents of a
member exactly the part of the page IN
which the passage occurs, and whether the
page itself be a left hand or right hand
page. The number of degrees of capa-
city of perception aud recollection Of col
ors is scarcely. less remarkable-the
power of recollection of them being
always proportionate to the power of
perceiving them and signalizing their
differences. Similarly, he who possesses
the musical faculty in an eminent degree
possesses in like degree the power of
learning and remembering the pieces of
music 30 which his attention is directed
A striking proof of the distinctively
individuahzed character of our various
faculties and memories is presented in
the often observed fact that the percep-
ton of musical sounds and the per-
ception of time, though both alike essen
tial in the mental constitution of a good
musician, differ greatly in their relative
strength in different indivi1uals-so that
while one may be skiIlful musician he
may be an Indifferent timist, and vice
versa. In the former case the orderly
succession of notes of musical passage
is easily remembered, but the time in
tervais, which are a distinctive feature
of 1t, are remembered less easily; whereas
in the latter case the memory of time is
stronger than is that of tune.
Equally notable is the fact that persons
who are especially able as calculators
recolleet numbers with peculiar facility.
Moreover, persons especially gifted with
the faculty of language have proper
tionate facility of recalling words, and
of quoting from memory long passages
which they have previously heard or
read: Cardinal Mezzofanti, who is
said to have known more than 100
different languages, used to declare that
he never forgot word that he had once
learnt. .',-Mest Review.

The french wonan.s yirtnes.

The women of France are almost uni
versally misunderstood and misjudsed,
because of the writings of such novelists
as Dumas fills and Feydeau. The French
woman is not whit the inferior of the
English or American woman. The mid
die class woman in the United States Is
better educated than the average woman
of the same class in France. On the
other hand the French woman is more
active; she shares her husbands labors'
and often, indeed, takes more than her
share. Often her labors begin In the
early morning, to end only at midnight,
or later still. The French woman Of the
lower middle class does not hold it be-
meath, her dignity. TO perform the hum
biest household duties, while at the same
time she is lively, pleasant and always

delusion to suppose that family life in
France is undermined. = Mrs. Frank
