M . chanical Memory.

A singular instance of the old belief
that what is too quickly learned cannot
endure was given me by popular young
actor. Owing to the sudden illness of a
brother actor, who did not have an under
study, my friend had to prepare himself
in few hours for part which was long
and difficult, but the actor learned it
after few readings and played it with
accuracy. Immediately after the per-
Torrance he forgot almost every word
Of it. He was unable to repeat two con-
secutive sentences correctly.
The most curious cases of forgetful-
ness l can recall were on the part of a
friend Of mine, an old man, whose MEM
DRY had once been exceedingly strong.
Age made it very weak. If anything
evening he would ifnagine next morning
that the brilliant ideas of the night be-
fore were his own. Hence he used to
write them out and show them to his
friends as original matter.-New York

A Flow of Spirits.

Last Tuesday John and Jack took
bit of sleigh-ride, and it is halt
suspected that it included a visit to
the town liquor agency. At any rate
when they got back to the village
Jack had bottle of alcohol-on the
outside, we don't know how much in
side-John procured an empty bottle
and the two worthless entered one of
our stores, going into partly retired
nook, to divide the swag. Jack acted
as master of ceremonies, and poured
from the full bottle to the empty one.
This was not done satisfactorily to
John, who claimed that he was not
getting his full share. Jack utterly
refused to give him any more, and
thereat John got angry and dashed
his bottle to the floor, liberating the
spirit. At this Jack started to come
out, attempting to put his bottle in
his pocket, when crash it went TO the
floor and again the spirit Of the de-
mon was liberated and fonnd fitting
resting place in the cracks of a to-
bacco stained floor. But the look on
Jacks face-well no language could
express it. And to think, he pathet-
ically said, chow we sclemed to get
it, Poor Jack If all the vile
stuff in the universe was spilled what
a blessing it would be to him.

STAFFORD.

The worst rain of the season com
menced to fall here Sunday at noon
and continued until 10 a. m. the next
day. Williams river, that passes
through this place, was much swollen
and cleared of ice. Large quantities
were left in the highway just above
this place, impeding travel through
the day. Below this the ice gorged
and carried off Mrs. Adams bridge,
lodging it some ten rods below. So
much ice was lodged in the highway
at this point that it could not be
cleared until Tuesday.
