POWERFUL MEMORIES.
Prodigies Whose Existence Is Too Well
Authenticated to Be Doubted.

Prodigies Whose Existence Is Too Well
Authenticated to Be Doubted.
There was a Corsican boy who could
rehearse forty thousand words, whether
sense or nonsense, as they were die
tated and then repeat them in the re-
versed order without making a single
mistake. A physician, about sixty
years ago, could repeat the whole of
Paradise Lost without mistake, al
though he had not read it for twenty
years. Euler, the great mathematician,
when he became blind could repeat the
whole of Virgil's Eneid, and could re-
member the first line and the last line
on every page of the particular edition
which he had been accustomed to read
before he became blind. One kind of
retentive memory may be considered as
the result of sheer work, determine
ton toward one particular achievement
without reference either to cultivation
or to memory on other subjects.
This is frequently shown by persons
in humble life in regard to the Bible.
An old beggar men at Stirling. known
about fifty years ago as Blind Alick, -
afforded an instance of this. He knew
the whole of the Bible by heart, inso-
much that, If a sentence was read to
him, he could name the book, chapter
and verse; or, if the book, chapter and
verse were named, he could give the ex-
act words A gentleman, to test him,
repeated verse. purposely making one
verbal inaccuracy. Alick hesitated,
named the place where the passage was
to be found, but at the same time
pointed out the verbal error. The same
gentleman asked him to repeat the
ninetieth verse of the seventh chapter
of the Book of Numbers. Alick almost
instantly replied: There is no such
verse. The chapter has only eighty
nine verses" Gassendi had acquired by
heart six thousand Latin verses; and, in
order to give his memory exercise, he
was in the habit daily of reciting six
hundred verses different Ian

Charles Wood has for many years pur-
chased sponges for drug firm of Bos-
ton. Talking of the article the other
day he said:
Good sponges have become so ex-
pensive that they are luxury to be en-
joyed only by those we'll to do. Of
a small one costing only few cents;
but if you want Turkey cup sponge
large enough for bathing purposes you
will have to pay 81 or So. Sponges
come all sizes; the largest one
1 ever saw measured twenty inches
across These very large sponges are
apt not to be perfect, and they do not
bring as good prices as smaller and more
perfect ones. The largest of the perfect
kind measures about fourteen inches
across the top and nine inches through,
such a sponge being worth about $40.
1t is too large for bathing purposes, and
too expensive to be used in washing
carriages, and is kept by dealers for a
chance customer. A good size bathing
sponge is about eight inches across the
top and five through, and is worth IS.
THE expensive sponges are bought
principally by physicians and dentists,
and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people
who can not tell the difference between
Turkey cups and common reef sponges,
and they are astounded at the difference
in price. They are asked SO for what
they think they can get just as good for
25 cents. There are sponges from
Florida called Sleeps wool, which, in
the opinion of many buyers, are as good.
although much cheaper, for all practical
purposes as the silk ones. They are
used mainly for washing carriages, al
though they make good bathing
sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba
and Nassau, Turkey cups from around
islands of the archipelago Sleeps
wool and reef sponges come in 10, 30 and
90 pound bales, and the finest of the
former, known as Rock Island goods,
sell wholesale at from 81 so to So Is per
pound. The Turkey cups are sorted at
London and Paris into three qualities
and sent to US in bags They are sold

How to Find the Dates of New Moons in
Any Year of This Century.
The Golden Number is the place of a
given year in the lunar cycle, which is
10 years; that is, every 10 years the new
moons come around on the same dates
To find the Golden Number: Add l to
the date, and divide the same by 10; the
remainder is the Golden Number for
that year. When there is no remainder
the year is the last of the lunar cycle,
and of course it's Golden Number is 10.
Example: To find the Golden Num-
Der for 1890: Add 1, and we have 1891;
divide by 10, and the remainder is 10.
Hence 10 is the Golden Number for
1890.
To use the table: Find the Golden
Number for the given year; then when
ever it occurs in the table it gives the
date of new moon. The first column
is the days of the month. Each of the
other IL columns is headed by the name
of one of the months.

do is to get up. drink half glass OF
water, and walk round the room. The
slight alteration of cold and warmth has
. soporific effect. For permanent re-
suit; Live healthily. Avoid too little
and too much exercise, food, particular
ly wine. Dine lightly, eating very lit
tie meat. Battle an hour before dinner,
not before going to bed. Do something
in the evening that does not excite you,
something like whist that does itself
mechanically. Decide how much sleep
you ought to have-say eight hours
and get up sternly when you have been
in bed eight hours, however long you
have been awake. Increase your air

enect mat IL was never safe TO pardon
a man merely because he looked sick.
Men in prison will do other things to
excite sympathy and make it appear
that they are dying of consumption.
Now and then fellow will strike
himself in the throat, or even cut him
self within the throat or under the
tongue. Then he will spit blood in the
presence of the physician, walk feebly,
talk in a whisper. Sometimes they eat
dirt, which stops digestion. and this is
followed by falling off in flesh.
"A short time ago a request was made
for the pardon of notorious criminal in
the southern prison, on the ground shat
he was dying. He was, upon that
showing, placed in the hospital, from
which he escaped, but was captured

exact standard could never be replaced.
To avoid this uncertainty, and obtain q
fixed and unvarying standard, the
French, in the last century, made an ac-
curate measurement of quadrant of
the earth's circumference, and TAX
ing the ten-millionth part of this
distance, gave it the name of meter,
and adopted it as the standard of
length. This length, which is equal
to about 1887 inches, is now in uni
versal ,.se on the continent of Eu-
rope, and is authorized as legal stand
ard in nearly all civilized countries.
Considerable discussion has arisen as to
whether the original measurement was
perfectly accurate, and it seems probable
that there was small error, so that if
the standard meter now kept in Paris
should be destroyed, remeasurement
of the quadrant of the earth would not
give us exactly the same meter. How
ever, the error in any case is very
minute one, and the chances are very
small that the original standard will
ever be destroyed, to say nothing of the
fact that the numerous copies distributed
among the various nations of the world
do not appreciably differ from it.-Pop-

Time-Worn Traditions That Originated
in Fertile Imaginations.
1t seems that most of our popular del
ties are crockery gods after all. Throw
few facts at them and they fall in
fragments.
A French historian has just demol-
she didn't amount to much anyway, and
did the French more harm than good.
1t would seem that historians have
very often drawn from the inexhausti-
BILE fountains of their own imaginations.
Thomas jefferson never rode up to the
Capitol on the morning OF his Inaugural
ton and hitched his horse to the front
fence with his own hand, which would
doubtless have been very picturesque
thing for him to do if there had been
any fence there. Homer never wrote
his own poems, which would have been
a very creditable piece of work for him
if he had ever existed. Alexander never
wept for more worlds to conquer, for AL
exander wasn't in the habit of playing
the baby act, and would have been
ashamed to cry in public anyway. Ar
mold Winkelried never cried: Make
way for liberty" which would have
been very pretty thing for him to say,
only it didn't occur to him at the time.
Shakespeare never wrote his own
plays, for he never doubted for a mo-
ment that Bacon could write them we'll
enough without his assistance. Grant
never took Lees sword under the apple
tree, for by some strange oversight the
apple tree wasn't there. William Tell
never shot the apple of his sons head,
feat which he might have done well
enough if he had been at all DESTROYS of
establishing a reputation as marks
man, for Captain Bogardus in our day
WOULD consider it an easy matter. And
there never was any William Tell any
way.
Some one has said that history is .
series of lies which mankind has agreed

cure q Pardon.
Henry Southgate was one OF the men
engaged in robbing the Indiana Nation
al Bank some years ago in what was
known as the ''erange-box robbery" the
box being used to stand upon while the
thief reached over the glass framework
upon the counter and lifted out several
thousand dollars in bank notes-it was,
think. $40. 600 OF S25 900.
Southgate's friends pressed an appli-
cation for pardon on the ground that he
was dying of consumption. Governor
Hendricks believed the story and par
doned him. ''In very short time after
his release Southgate was as lively and
healthy an evil-doer as there was in the
State said prison official. He had
simply been playing the sOsR trick"
whats that?"
Eating soap. The effect was to
bleach his skin by producing dearth
of blood, or rather by changing the
corpuscles, increasing the white and
diminishing the red. There are no Sc
rious consequences following the use OF
soap, and when discontinued the man
rapidly gets we'll,
Governor Hendricks, of course, was
much chagrined over this deception,
and made an entry in this pfilce to the
