How 8 Remarkable Loss of Memory Was
 Cured by Organ Notes.
 The most curious incidents connected with memory are of course its entire lapse, and such cases are not by any means so infrequent as is generally supposed. It is startling enough no doubt to hear fellow creature asking another fellow creature to tell him who he is, but such things have actually happened. Indeed it was onkS last year that case of the kind was en- gazing the attention of Melbourne physi- clans. A young man, about 30 years of age, called at the police barracks and demand cd to be informed as to his own identity. At first it was thought that the man was d lunatic, but it soon became evident that his statement as to his memory having failed him was perfectly genuine. He was taken into custody and kept in Melbourne jail where he was the object of much at tention and curiosity on the part of physi- clans and wardens.
 He persisted in the declaration that he did not remember anything before the day on which he visited the police barracks, and several medical men expressed their belief in his statement, attributing his lack of memory to masked epilepsy. Curi- ously enough the man ultimately recover GU illS sOAoSS OllOulSh oilS iIuSlO VI lilO jail Sunday service. One morning he was observed listening intently to the singing.

 MT. O'Rourke was appointed to his pres- ent position by Secretary Carlisle shortly after the advent of the present democratic admin istration, succeeding w. J. Ede- brook of Chicago. He was one of dozen proninen applicants, and was backed po- litically by Senators Smith and McPher- son of New Jersey, besides by a number of prominent architects of the north and east.
 Several times within the past year he has, in the conduct of his office, had friction with his superior officers and with under officials appointed by Secretary Carlisle. One of the latest misun6erstandings, it is said, took place with w. b. Fleming, chief of the law and contract division of his of- flee. MT. Fleming is personal friend of Secretary Carlisle's, and in his latest con- troversy he, it is said, upheld Mr. Flem- ing.
 MT. O'Rourke was born in Ireland, and is about 45 years of age. The salary of the place is atout s4500 per annum, which is one of the best in the treasury service, and the position is one of vast responsibilities.
