MEXTCAN FlLIGREE SPOONS

Numbered with the latest arrivals are
the Mexican hlfgree spoons, decided con-
trast to other styles. The delicate filigree
work of the modern Mexican jeweler is
composed of fine gold and silver wires
wrought in designs generally copied from
nature and representing flowers, birds, but
terfies, etc. The uniaueness Of the de
signs, the rich cplors of the original
metals preserved IN the work, and with
al the intrinsic value of the articles
made of this material render them
highly attractive and adapted for pres
entation as souvenirs to meet the de-
mand for souvenirs In way of spoons
Many designs and styles of filigree handle
spoons have been produced, two of which
are shown in the cut here reproduced from
The Jewellers Circular. In some cases
these spoons are renddted local by an appli-
cation of the name of the town over the
6ligree.

There is a wonderful system of mnem-
onics invented by the late DIR. John L.
Dagg, after he became blind. He divided
the four walls and the ceiling of his room
into fifty points, and by associating
dates, names or facts with these points
he was able, after a long time, to call
them to mind instantly. 1t was his Gus
tom to have his secretary read to him.
and by the use of this system the facts
were retained in his mind in their proper
order SO accurately that from these
studies he completed number of books,
some of which are still used as text books
in this state. The same system has been
successfully taught in several female col
leges in this state by daughter of DIR.
Dagg, and her classes used it to advan-
tage in their studies. -Atlanta Journal.
