IMPROVING THE MEMORY,

Simple ~Exrsdients Which Lead to
important Re suits.
The fault with most artificial mem
DRY systems isthat they are too elab-
crate, ard break down from the i'm,
p~ractIcability OF their conditions.
For the purpose OF improving the
memory OF figures, a little trouble and
| common sense will go further than
most OF these so-called mennonite sys.
TENS. 1t is beyond question that
some people have the inestima-
BILE boon OF a good memory, but i'm
many cases a poor memory is mainly
the result of carelesSness ana want OF
attention. By the exercise of steady
determination the power ofconeentra-
ton necessary for improving the
memory can be gradually gained.
The mind must not be loaded too
much. a little every day is quite
enough, but that little must be well
and earnestly grappled with. If this
is done conscientiously the results
will soon be most gratifying.
The amount OF money spent daily,
no matter how inconsiderabie the
items may be, may be written down
at night from recollection. II a note
is given or taken theamount of it, the
time it was given and the date of it's
maturity, together with therate of in
terest, can be held in mind with little
difficulty. The number OF a street in
which a friend lives, and slch things
as the number Of apple, peach, pear
trees in your orchard, if you are lucky
enough to have one, and innumerable
other items ofdaily life can be utilized
as memory lessons. The main point
is that there must be no Sinking.
The memory is debilitated and indo-
lent, and the indisnosition to exer
itself can only bcovercome by resolute
will power, until it has toned up to
healthy aud vigorous action. The
discipline is not altogether pleasant,
but it pays.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

OF ministers of that faith. stopping
at the same hotel where did was a
young parson who had come from the
East to attend the convention. As 1t
afterwards developed, he had taken
the precaution in visiting that ma
larious country to carry a vial OF
cayenne pepper in his pocket to sprlnk-
lie his food with as a preventative to
fever and ague. At dinner one day a
tall Hoosier observed the parson MS
he seasoned his meat and addressed
him:
stranger, I'll thank you for a
leetle of that 'ere red salt, for I'm
kind o. curious to try it," he said.
Certainly. returned the parson,
but you will find it very powerful; be
careful how you use it.

vial. and feeling himself proof against
any quantity OF raw whisky thought
that he could stand the red salt
with impunity, and accordingly
sprinkled piece of beef rather boun-
tffully whit andfortbwith introduced
it into his capacious mouth. 1t soon
began to take hold. He shut his eyes
and began to writhe. Finally he could
stand it no longer. He opened his
mouth and screamed Fire"
