HOW TO REMEMBER.

Advice to Those Wishing to Commit Songs
Music to Memory.
Il wish you would teach me how to
commit to memory the songs 1 want to
sing" said an amateur musician to a
friend. Il have never been able to com
NIT my music to memory-at least have
never done so-and l think it would be
of use to me if 1 could
1.-The process is not a difficult one, I"
was the reply. Il have always found it
easy to remember songs and poems by
certain rule or method that l adopted q
long time ago. Take any popular song,
The Last Rose of Summer, for exam
pie. 1t is good plan to read it over and
get the sentiment of the verse, which
comprehends the idea of loneliness, the
fading away of beautiful things and the
lack of sympathy in sadness. The rose is
blooming alone. Its companions are
faded and gone. No flower or kindred
is nigh to share its pleasures or answer
to its sighs. This is the groundwork
the skeleton, SO to speak-Of the verse.
Impress this firmly on the mind and
familiarize the thought with the senti-
ment. Imagine the garden with the one
rose and faded leaves all around. Once
this is fixed in the memory it is com.
paratively easy TO fill in the remainder
of the words. This is one of the simplest
and su-est way Of committing the words
Of a song to memory.
with most people memorizing the
air of the song is much easier, and this
is done by humming again and again,
referring to the music whenever there is
any question. 1t is important to learn
an air correctly at first, for when a mis-
take is made at the outset one is almost
certain to blunder at the same place ever
afterward. New York Ledger.

The Womnn'a Bible.

We have read some of the passages OF
the commentary prepared for the 'wom-
ans Bible" by that very accomplished
American woman and Biblical student,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They are
a great deal more satisfactory than
many of the comments upon the same
texts that we have read in other and
more pretentious commentaries. Mrs.
Stanton's interpretative remarks are Of
ten shrewd and sensible. They could
perhaps sometimes be rendered more nc
ceptable to the critical mind by the as
sistance of rabbi well versed in the
Hebrew. New York Sun.

Thomas Laugher and His Curious Experi'

Thomas Laugher and His Curious ExperI-
enees, Physical and Otherwise.
Thomas Laugher, who is said to have
died at the age of 112, has an amusing
record that connects him with HolbOrn.
He was we'll educated man, fOr he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for 10
years In early life he had been wine
merchant i'll Tower street and failed,
owing to the failure of a very large
house in the same trade, Neele, Fordyce
& Co. 1t so affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole of his body.
Though a wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
so years of his life. The old mans
memory was prodigious He we'll re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house of peers, seated ON a
pillion behind the Lord Chancellor. and
he talked about the death of William
Ill He had been a we'll made man,
rather above the middle height. At 80
he had severe fit of illness, and then
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place in the fingers of each
hand ut this instant remained always
after. Nothing is said about new teeth
coming in his case, and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him Ga SO
abruptly.
He had son, who died at the age of
80, and whom he always called "poor
Tommy" This boy of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes ON the
part of strangers who saw them togeth-
er. Once, when they were walking in
Holborn, the son could scarcely keep
pace with the father-in fact, with SO
great difficulty and distress did he do so
that he attracted the attention of a gen
tleman, who went up to old Laugher to
expostulate with him ON his want of
fihal duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. The old man told him of
his mistake, but the stranger refused to
give the least credit to his assertion un-
til somebody passing at the time, who
knew the Laughers well, certified to the
perfect truth of the story.
All four turned laughers then; at
their separation all HolbOrn beamed
with smiles, and grew quite radiant for
a moment, but the next second it relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan-
choly quotidian business-cash hunting.
One feels amused at this fussy moralist,
who showed such prevailing anxiety
and Officiousness to direct others in the
path of virtue, smiting, as the mote, un-
conscious of the beam. Notes and Que

by the members of the faction which
supports Mr. Boyd that the Morrisites
have stopped to guerrilla warfare-to
such methods as giving dances Friday
nights that the village young people
may be led away from the evening
