Learning Poems by Heart.

Sidney Woollett, the New York elocution-
ist, says that the way memory can be
trained-is by constant exercise I know
thirteen of Shakespeare's plays and Ten
nysOn's idyls by heart, besides a volume of
miscellaneous poetry. Ny process was
simple: / went hard to work and learned
them by rote. Sometimes / would read
ten lines over carefully several times and
then attempt to repeat them. If l failed I
would keep at them until knew the lines
perfectly, then l would try ten lines more.
BY memorizing ten lines at time thor
oughly l had little trouble to repeat an en-
tire poem of a thousand lines or more.
MY favorite way of memorizing is while
/ am walking. Often have walked fifteen
or twenty miles repeating long poems like
Miles Standish,' 'Enoch Arden and
Elaine Ii somehow comes natural to
me 10 memOrize while walking seem TO
remember better what l have conned.
Shakespeare plays are difficult to mem
orize, because the author has SO many
striking lines and so many original char
acters. Naturally it is more difficult to
recite dramas than poems. If happen to
make the slightest mistake in reading nv
lines / hear from it, so am careful to know
what / recite perfectly"

The Price of Manhattan Island.

According to popular tradition the Island
Of Manhattan was sold in 1924 for the sum
of twenty-five dollars. The conclusion one
would naturally jump to would be that.
in the light Of subsequent events, the sum

year 1924 and had been allowed to com
pound up to the year 1884, how much
would it then have amounted to? Some
thing in the neighborhood of 81 ,6OO, co.,
600. Is the Island of Manhattan worth
much more than that today?-Pharma-
