Going, Going, Gone.

One needs TO live many years before
one learns how little there is in a year,
how little, indeed, there will be even in
the longest possible life, how many
things one will be obliged to leave un-
done.
But there is one thing that you can re-
alize if you will try, If you will stop and
think about it a little; and that is, how
fast and how steadily the present time is
slipping away. However long life may
look TO you, as you look forward to the
whole of it, the present hour has only
sixty mi nutes and minute by minute,
second by second, it is ssgoingl going
gonel'' If You gather nothing from it
as it passes, IL is gone forever. Moth
ing IL 50 utterly, hopelessly lost as sslost
time. = 1t makes me unhappy when i
look back and see how much time have
wasted; how much might have learned
and done If had understood how short
is the longest hour.

There is an immense stock of game at
Windsor, in the great park, this season
and the covers on the royal domain are
literally swarming with pheasants,
while hares also are abundant. There is
no shooting at Windsor during the first
six weeks of the season, except that the
keepers go out about twice a week to
obtain supplies for the larders of Bal
moral, Claremont and Cumberland
Lodge and for certain priviledged per-
sons who receive the periodical presents
of game from the Queen. Prince Chris
tian will begin regular shooting, next
month and will have the company of the
Duke of Connaught and Prince Henry of
Battenberg; but the Prince of Wales is
not likely to have any sport at Windsor
until January.-[New York Tribune.

Deputy Sheriff Glover received, this
week, an anonymous letter, postmarked
Danbury, complaining that certain par
ties in the lower part of the town were
habitually breakidg the game laws. 1t
is curious literary effort and will receive
the attention that all such communica-
tions deserve. If man has not courage
enough to sign his name to letter of
this kind, he had better stop posing as a
moralist. He kindly gives Sheriff Glov-
er law points in this way: "There is a
State law against setting traps for Birds
and fine of $50 for every trap that you
kecth a man setting there is men joust
Below you that is trapping Birds and you

holding six-shOoter in one hand, while a
rifle rested across his knees.

II believe his company did the handsome
thing for him. He was transferred to
another railroad and ran on it for about
three years. One night his train leaped like
thunderbolt into another running in the
opposite direction. When they got into the
wreckage they found Ned stone dead among

Entirely Too brilliant.

James Fisher. who is engaged in the soap
business at the City of Mexico, is at the
California. He was formerly located in
Chicago, but moved to Mexico and has be-
come wealthy. He is an enthusiast on the
subject of the future of the sister republic,
and says that no country in the world pre-
sents to-day so many good openings for
young men OF ability and energy.
"Since going 10 Mckee," he said, yester-
day, II have helped good many young
Americans into good positions, bat l must
tell you about one boy from Chicago that
tried 10 aid. He was running an elevator
In Chicago hotel W hen / first knew him,

with the Mexican Central Railroad,
and he was put to work checking cars in
the freight yard. A salary OF SIS month was
given him. and for about year he seemed
TO get along fairly well. AT the end of that
time, however. he made brilliant dis
coVery. One day he walked into the Office
of the Division Superintendent and an
DOunced that he had just found out that
every car was wrong, and he suggested that
a change be made at once.
"WrOng?" asked the Superintendent.
why, what's the matter now?"
"Well," was the reply, II have been
watching the thing for nearly week now, ,

The Superintendent tainted, l am told,
and, when he recovered consciousness, he
explained 10 the young man that talents
such as he possessed were entirely too rare
to waste Id the service of soulless CORPORA

MEMORY'S FREAKS.

PrOtracted SomnOIence the Cause of a
Loss of Its Powers.
Three extraordinary instances of what
doctors call periodic smnesia" were related
to me last night by prominent physician
attached to the New York Hospital. says
writer in the New York Telegram TIE first
was that of young American woman
who on awaking from protracted sleep
lost memory of all she had before learned.
Her memory had been capacious and we'll
stored with copiOus stock of ideas. On
expectedly she fell into a profound sleep,
which continued several hours beyond the
ordinary term. On waking she was discov-
cred TO have lost every trace of acquired
knowledge. All vestiges, both of words and
things, were obliterated. BY new efforts
she again acquired the art of spelling, read
ing, writing and calculating, and gradually
became acquainted with persons and objects
like being for the first time brought into
the world. In these exercises she made
considerable proficiency.
After few months another fit of sOmno-
lence possessed her. On rousing from it she
found herself restored to the state she was
in before the first parOxysm, but was wholly
ignorant of every event that had befallen
her afterward. The former condition of
her existence she used to call the old state
aud the latter the new state. In the old
state she possessed fine powers of penman-
ship. In the new she wrote a poor, awk-
ward hand, having had neither the time
nor the means to become an expert.
