Value OF Circus Music.

@You may not have noticed it" re
marked one of Barnum & Bailey's ath-
letes to reporter Of the New York
Commercial-Advertiser, "but every
performer who has particularly
difficult act to do always has his own
special and particular piece of music
to do it with. He sticks to that tune
year in and year out, and you can't
appreciate how important part it
plays in the proper performance of
his work. The action of the muscles
in whirlwind bareback or mid-air
trapeze act is perfectly rhythmical,
and strain of music which CORES
ponds with this action calms the nerves,
tones the muscles and helps the artist
to keep time and regulate his motions.
You know there are two memories,
one of the muscles and one of the brain,
and it is to the former that the music
appeals. Without the slightest men
tai effort on the part Of the man, cer-
tain notes produce certain movements,
and when performer becomes
thoroughly accustomed to tune a
sudden change in it while the act was
in progress would, in nine cases out of
ten, result in an accident. A man
who does a mid-air sketch to a waltz
tune would be liable 10 get hoplessly
ratified and break his everlasting neck
if the band, without warning, switch
ed into a march. The muscles would
become perplexed, the brain wouldn't
have time to act and that would end
it. These facts are odd, but true"

Training the Memory.

A splendid way to improve the
memory is to begin by treating it as
if it were another person, and then
charging it, upon penalty of a severe
upbraiding, to keep until wanted the
information, fact, date. name or what.
ever is to be remembered. By this
course you unconsciously do two
things-you sort out things worth
while to know, and you impress them
upon the memory in such way as to
cause it to grasp and keep them.
The latter is most important
thing to do. Half Of ones forgetfnl-
ness comes from failure to properly
grasp what it is that you are to re-
member. 1t is said of Thomas B.
Reed, the famous member of Con-
gress from Maine, who was Speaker of
the House of Representatives for two
years, that he considered it a great
hardship to have to tell a man the
same thing twice.
You ought never to cause any one
such hardship.-Harper's Young

Blaine no Longer a Political Man.

Blaine will probably saw wood and
say nothing; hiscareer as public man
is about over; he has nothing more to
hope for and no favols to ask from
either the Republican party or the
Harrison administration. He has
practically drifted away from the
party, or the party from him, on the
burning questions of the day; he has
no love for the Force. bill; he is free
trader who would have knocked the
bottom, top, and both sides out of the
Mckinley bill; he has witnessed bis
mercenary and menacing schemes and
dreams fzzle out, one by one; he has
no fiscal record; his diplomatic career
has shed no great lustre on either HIM
self or his party, He is not likely to
turn in and work for the man with

A BORROWING BUREAU
Peculiar Financial Practices in Vogue
in the Pension Office.
CLERKS REFUSING TO ANSWER
some Questions Put to Them. and They Will
Probably Be Fired.
BLAIR ASKS FOR AN INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, April lib. W. Flenni-
ken, Private Secretary to the late Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, testified before the Pension
Office Investigating Committee to-day, that
he had never received compensation,
directly or indirectly, for any information
relating to the status of pension claims.
Samuel R. Horsey had said he believed Mr..
Flenniken sometimes sold the information
he secured by means of Congressional slips.
George w. Wayson, formerly assistant
chief of the special examining division of
the Pension Bureau, said he had never OBJ
tanned or solicited any money for anything
he had done in the office. But when asked
questions as to whether or not he had bor-
rowed money or secured Endorsements from
a number of his subordinates, whose names
were given, he declined in each case to
answer the questions. declaring that the
matter was private and in no way affected
his official acts.
MIR. Enloe asked IL witness had not taken
the deposition of an examiner named Will
son showing that the latter had borrowed
money from a money lender on a pension
certificate contrary to law. He answered
this question affirmatively, but denied abso-
iutely that after taking the deposition he
kept 1t in his desk for six months, and until
it was taken from him i'll order to prevent
Iatourette's prosecution. He said he turned
the affidavit over to the Chief OF Division.
Witness still refusing to answer the Ques-
tions bearing on financial transactions. the
committee decided to report to the House n
resolution requesting the Commissioner OF
Pensions to discharge him from the Pension
Office.
Harvey C. Ellis testified that one time he
loaned Wayson $50, but he respectfully
declined to state whether he had indorsed
any notes for Wayson, on the ground that
that was his private business. He also
declined to say whether he had been called
in from the field to renew a note for Mr..
Wayson. The Witness however, volunteered
the statement that no transaction he ever
had with Wayson had ever benefited him
(witness), nor had any such transaction
ever cost him a cent The witness still
persisting in refusing to answer the
questions bearing on the financial questions,
the committee decided to report to the
House a resolution requesting the Commits
eioner of Pensions to discharge him from
offce, as WIS done in the case of the
previous witness.
Several witnesses were examined rs to
money transactions in the Pension Office,
and their testimony showed that the prac-
tice of borrowing money in the Office is
pretty general. In some instances chiefs
borrowed from their subordinates. The
Committee, during the afternoon session,
took steps to request the House to compel
witnesses Wayson and Ellis to answer Ques-
tions in relation to financial transactions,
beside asking that body to request their dis
missal from office. Adjourned.
