Memory.


There are 100 different varieties OF
memory, and perhaps we cannot alto
gether choose which we will possess.
though every sort. when we have the
germs of it, may be cultivated.
To learn anything by heart the best
plan is to read Il sentence and repeat ii
without a book. then read the next SEN
tence and repeat the two. and so On.
Repetition is of great Importance. Line
upon line. More is learned and re-
mem bered by reading through n book
twice than by reading two books once.
After a thing has been learned it
must be recalled and gone over at in
~tervals. or the impression will fade
away. DIR. NJ. Granville says we
shuuld take out our own ideas and dust

MONTE oRIsro,s CASTLE PRISON.
Death of Pere Grosson, It's Aged Gus

From the Springfield Republican,

From the Springfield Republican.
Grosson, keeper of the Chateau DIFF,
where Dumas Count of Monte Cristo was
imprisoned, has Just died. The chateau
is picturesquely situated in the blue
Mediterranean, off Marseilles Around
the rocky coves of the little island grow
lavender, fennel and rosemary; fishing
smacks with bright colored sails fit over
the waters, as the ships of Ulysses once
did. But the charm of the old castle does
not depend upon these things so much as
upon the fascination of the romance Of
Dumas; which brings there many visitors.
Old GrossOnin his prime used TO talk of tho
Able Earia and Edmond Dantes as if they
were historical, and there is an amusing
incident told of the visit of the great
novelist in 1870, the year in which he died
to the place he had made famous. Show
ing him through the dungeons, GrosSOn
came to the hole in the wall through
which the able communicated with
Dantes. This hole" said the custo-
dian, the able bored with fish bone.
Alexandra Dumas says so.' Then, ;"
said the visitor. "AleXandre Dumas was
acquainted with a good many things. Per
haps you know himEn know him!" eX-
claimed Grosson, Alexander Dumas is
one Of my friends" He is glad of il"
replied the great romancer, slipping two
golden louis into the mans hand, which
he grasped.
Grosson complained, says the London
Daily News correspondent, of the stingi-
ness of the municipal authorities, who

saw HIM year ago for the last time. The
poor man was already in his dotage Peo-
pie were teasing him about his yarns.
You know Monte Cristo," they sug-
gested InocKingly. Don't you know he
never existed - replied Grosson pettish-
ly. Il will show you the cell if you like,
but the whole thing is a fiction" From
this knew that poor old Grosson was
drawing to his end.
! Pere Grosson had the whole history of
the castle at his finger ends. 1t was gen

Gov. Pennoye Shows His Populism.
From the Portland Oregonian.


Yesterday afternoon Gov Pennoyer,
populist: the Hon. A. Bush, democrat /;
and the Hon f.. p Mccormack, republi-
can, boarded the Southern Pacific local
train at Salem, bound for Portland. They
were soon seated together in one of the
coaches, and an animated political discus
sion followed. When matters were
growing rather warm the conductor was
seen coming down the aisle toward the
group Mr. Bush, democrat, smiled
knowingly, and told the governor to get
his ticket ready, adding:
Now is my chance to see real live
governor produce a railroad ticket he has
really paid for We will now see the
populistic battle cry of 'anti-railroad
pass demonstrated. OF course, governor,
after your speeches during the recent
campaign about public officials being in
fluenced by railroad passes, you, of all
men. wont present one"

sOLICITUDE FOR HIS HEALTH.
The esteem in which Vivian is held was
well shown by the anxious inquiries which
came pouring in by mail and by telegraph
when 1t became known that he was so
sick, and by the congratulations which
are beginning to come upon his probable
recovery.
DR.. and Mrs. Burnett had no other child
except Lionel, Vivian older brother. who
died OF consumption four years ago in
Paris. Lionel was in a different way as
attractive as Vivian, and the two as
young boys together were a remarkable
pair. Mrs. Burnett used to dress
them like The Little Princes in
the Tower" and they made
very pretty picture. Lionel, who was
several years older than Vivian, began to
fail, and his mother took him abroad,
hoping TO restore his health. Lionel did
not know that he was likely to die, even
when the end came He fell asleep in his
mothers arms, murmuring good night,
mother, you will be with me when l

LiOne's death was to his father and
mother will appreciate their feelings

uncle and aunt telling of the unexpected
and serious illness of Vivian, and their
relief when they arrived to find him bet

absence, not only from his relatives but
from family friends who were glad to
have an opportunity OF showing their re-
gard.
