MEMORY A TEST OF AGE.

why Scenes and Incidents of Childhood
Become vivid in Closing Years.
Memory is often good test OF age.
When a person begins to find the recollec-
ton of current and recent work failing,
and when he finds the recollection of
events Of the early part of his life acutely
perceptible, and by kind of spontaneity
recurrent the evidence is certain that the
mind Of that person is aging The fact is
still further emphasized if, with the re-
membrane of past days, there is a sympa-
thetic response calling forth a sentimental
feeling either of pleasure or of pain.
There is probably physiological reason
for these phenomena. In early life certain
ccuters Of the brain are filled with impress
sions and images which have become fixed,
aud for time quiescent. They sleep.
While they sleep other parts of the brain
are charged with new impressions, which
remain in activity, provoking the physical
body into new and continued action, and
constituting the life Of the individual rs it
is seen at work, nay, as 1t really is. But time
goes ON, and under the active life the brain
ceuters receiving the later impressions tire,

is not however the suspension Of the

Tho gsandsons, children Of the

nation, even among the Balkan states,

TO live and display their activities. So
aged people who forget the names Of those
who are staring them in the face, who for
get the details of the last ride or walk or
work, and who forget engagements, letters
and hours of meals, remember with the
freshness of youth the friends of their
youth; the places, habits, conversations,
events that have long since passed ami have
been so long in oblivion.
The study of memory in relation to age
is full of practical as well as philosophical
Importance. 1t bears on the value of evil
dence of observed facts and phenomena at
different stages OF life There are thou
sands of persons who could give no evil
dence worthy of credence respecting say
ings and events of today, who could still
give the most accurate and reliable evil
dence about sayings and events of fifty
years ago; and, if sympathies change with
memories, there is an explanation, clear
enough, why with age likes and dislikes

soon caught the words, repeated many
times: 80 Jesu, Agnus Del, qui TOLLS pee

thereupon to my medical brother, whom

has been man of the freest thought, good
in every way, but allied to no creed what
ever and opposed to the Roman Catholic
faith" "That may be, but in his early
life, warrant you, he was brought up in
that faith and learned its services" On
inquiry my conjectures proved correct In
the first five years of life he was trained in
the Catholic ceremonial, since which age
he had come under influences that had
changed the whole tenor of his thoughts
The point wish to make in concluding
is, in the strictest seSSS, practical and med
ical Whenever a patient who mas passed
the fifties or is fairly into them reports
that current memory is fading and past
memory is reviving, and when he reports
also that his sympathies are running with
his memories, his current sympathies de-
clining, his old ones reawakenng, he is in
an Indifferent condition. He requires inn
mediate mental rest of those faculties that
are becoming impaired, and is in want of
pursuits and scenes that will bring new
faculties into play. Fortunately we never
use up 1.-THE of our brain surface. There
is always ample unchanged surface to work
upon even late in life, and if the brain be
not physically diseased new memories
may be called forth which open up new
activities and cover in the old.-W. b.
