The Memory Period.

From the New England Journal of Education.l
 The public is to be congratulated upon the present in whatever aids the memory. But if the best harvest is to be reaped it must come through an exhaustive and scientific treatment of the memory by teachers, edi- tors, publishers and lecturers. The volume of David Kay, recently issued, should be in the hands of every teacher. Every word read and everything scientifically taught now about the memory will count for ten times as much as at any other time.
 It remains for the lecture platform to ma- ture and broaden the advantages of the pres- ent enthusiasm. The first to enter this field, SO far as we know, is Dr. B. G. Northrop, who has caused more tree planting and will lage beautifying than all other agencies com bined, having organized over four hundred improvement associations in forty-two States and territories. His announcement of a new lecture upon "Memory and How to Train It" contains commendatory words from prin cipals and superintendents of schools from New Hampshire to California. Dr. North TOD seems to nave met the needs of the hour by using the present enthusiasm as relish for all the science, art and philosophy of memory. Now let all educators continue the good work by multiplying opportunities for lectures on this subject.

wALLENGFORD LAND.

Cherry Street of Value Now Which
 Would Have Been Sold for a Song.
 The large tract of land beyond Hosford street in Wallingford, bordering on the lake and running several hundred feet along Cher ry street, is without an owner. For years it was considered of such little value that it didn't even appear on the grand list, and consequently the town has not even title to it. The building of the Metropolitan Rub Der Go. E works, in close proximity to to this tract of sand, gives it value for building sites never dreamed of by it's original owners. Land marks, by which bounds could b. traced, have entirely disappeared, and it wonld be exceedingly difficult for any one to locate their claims. if they have any. It is probable that next year the property will be placed on the list in the name of John Doe, or some other legal fiction, and thus the town can come in for it's dues long in abeyance, and the property be disposed of through the medium of tax title.

Then kiss her and tell her so.
She's a good wife and true to you, John,
Let fortune be foul or fair;

You feel she's a brave, true helper,
And perhaps far more than you know
Twill Tighten her end OF the load, John,
Just to kiss her and tell her so.
There's a crossroad somewhere in life,
