Curious Tricks Of Memory.

One of the queerest freaks Of the men,
DRY is the trick-often enough noted for
that matter-which some peoples mem
Dries have of seeming TO recall only the
things that the mind never made any
effort TO remember, and letting go irrev-
ocably all the things that the mind did
consciously attempt 10 store Cp. Pos
sibly the Listener has once before told
the story of friend OF his. whose occu-
patton is more or less literary. who can
remember but one single piece of poetry.
and that was a piece of doggerel that
his seat mate in school once learned! All
the divine verse that he himself has oft
en- labored to commit is gone forever;
but this piece of doggerel which the
other boy labored to learn, but probably
totally forgot III a month or year,
sticks fast in his mind.
Everybody's memory has a tendency
to hold fast TO mischief and nonsense
and let serious and important things go.
However, this very characteristic of the
memory is thing that can be made use
of if we know how to do it. If we are
bright enough at the right time to take
in these useful things somewhat after
the easy and enjoyable fashion that we
take the agreeable nonsense, the chances
are that they will stick by us.-Boston

Improved Conditions Inaagurated BY n

Improved Conditions Inaugurated BY the
SYST Congress Should BE Kept Up.
The eOnsiderate attention Of the
farmers of the whole country is invited
to the work done through the state
agricultural departments n the interest
OF agriculture. Our pork products had
for ten years been nearly excluded by
the great continental nations of Europe
and their value dlscredlted by the
reasons gwen for this exclusion.
All previous efforts to secure the
removal of these restrictions had failed.
But the wise legislation OF the titty-tlrst
congress providing for the official IL
spectlon OF our meat and giving 10 the
president power 10 forbid The start into
this country of selected products of
such countries as should contnue 10
refuse our inspected meats enable ne 10
open all the markets of Europe TO our
pork products. The result has been
not only TO sustain prices 10y providing
new markets for our surplus, but add %
cents per hundred pounds 10 the market
value of the inspected meatsS Under
the reciprocity agreement special
favors have been secured for agrlcul-
tural products, and our exports OF such
products have been greatly increased
IN their season.
Guarding Our Interests Well.
The agricultural department has
maintained in Europe an agent, whose
sole duty 1t is TO Introduce there the
various preparations of corn as articles
OF food, and his work has been very
successful. The department has Also
sent skilled veterinarians 10 Liverpool
10 examine, IN connection with the
British veterinarians, the live cattle
from the United States landed
at that port and the result IN
connection with sanitary methods
adopted at home, have been that We
hear no more about our cattle being
injected with euro-pneumOnla. A
Judlclous system of quarantine lines
has prevented the Infection of north
ern cattle with the Texas fever. The
tariff bill OF 1890 gives better protec-
ton to farm products subjected 10 for
elgn competition than they had
before and the home markets
for such products have been enlarged
10y the establishment of new industries
and the development of others. We
may confidently submit 10 the lntelli-
gent and candid Jugdment ofthe Amer
lcan farmer whether IN any CORES
ponding period so much has been done
10 promote his interests, and whether
IN continuance and extension of these
methods there is not better prospect
offered 10 him than IN the invitation
of the democratic party TO give our
home market 10 foreign manufacturers
and to abandon the reciprocity policy;
and better also than the radical and
untried methods of relief proposed by
other parties which are soliciting hIs
support.
The president strongly urges the
necessity to the United States of the
Nicaragua ship canal and pays high
tribute to the democratic members of
the foreign affairs committee OF the
last house, confessing his obligations
for needed cooperation

Buried Alive After All.

In Ireland the custom used to prevail
of burying the dead as soon after their
certified decease as possible. 1t is very
probable that many were thus buried
alive. II is related that q certain DR..
Walker, of Dublin, entertained such
strong views upon this question that he
never wearied of discoursing upon it,
and even wrote pamphlet embodying
his views, which was widely circulated
While conversing one day with his
friend Mrs. Bellamy, a celebrated
actress, the lady informed him that she
herself would take care that he should
not be committed TO the cold embrace
of mother earth until indisputable evil
dence was forthcoming of his death.
provided his decease preceded hers.
Some time afterward the doctor con-
tracted a fever, of which it was sup
posed he died. In spite of the opposition
he had raised to the prevailing custom,
he was buried the day following. Mrs.
Bellamy was at the time in Ireland, and.
hearing of his death and burial, she
fastened to Dublin, and at once had his
body exhumed. Her considerable offices.
however, came too late. On opening
the coffin it was found that the doctor
had evidently revived since his inter
ment, for he was found lying upon his
side.-Yankee Blade.

BLAINE on The CHOLERA VISITATION
He Declares All Foreign Traffic Should
BE Closed.

BANGOR. Me-. Sept. 5.-Mr. Blaine
has recently expressed to friend his
views on the clear uty of the govern
ment IN the matter OF the cholera
danger, what the president and con-
gress should al once undertake. An
attempt was made last night to secure
q complete interview with hum on the
sulect, but II partially failed. owing to
the arrival from New York Ut the Bar
HarbOr residence of Walter Damrosch,
the sOn-in-law of Mr.. Blaine.
MIR. Blame SAID at the time of the
seizure of the fishing schooner Adams,
Just after Mr.. Cleveland became pres-
dent, that his foreign policy III all
things was thought to be strong one,
and that ne ought not to express him.
self before the president had chance
10 act. But this time, he says, the
duty is clear ami the path plain. In
substance, II Is TO close the traffic be-
tween the old country. Canada aud the
L nlted states to everybody and every
thing save the mails and citizens of
this country now abroad, and to admit
these only after perfect precauton.
II idea Is that there is not and can
not be commercial relations which for
a moment are TO be considered in COM
parison to safety 10 life. He has al
ways held this country to be dependent
on no other, save. for some of the lux
urIeS of life, and he thinks that while
we may lose and may cause loss in
some quarters, such matters can be
easily adjusted.
tie wants everything now on the
water on the way from the old world
kept from the land, and a dIscontln-
uance Of al foreign railroad traffic
across the states. Then he would
have the border policed to perfection,
rigid examination in all cities and
towns, and he believes President Har-
risOn has the power TO so order by
proclamation, and that there are no
treaty rights TO prevent 1t.
MIR. Damrosch somewhat startled Mr..
Blaine by telling him that ne rode Sat-
urday night from New York to Boston
with two persons that had just left one
of the ships on board of which death
had occurred from chOlerine, and ii
Will be some days before Mr.. Blaine be-
comes entirely serene in mind.
