TIE nEMORY

IFrom the London SPECTATOR
Moreover the memory Of every man
and woman fails i'm relation to large
portions of their lives, and is in all Of
us very uncertain in it's grasp even of
the most important of the events Of
the past life
There is no one who can not recall
some instance Of an abrupt and most
embarrassing failure of memory, and
no one who can not recall the equally
abrupt recovery of some lost trace OF
the past life Hence the extreme cases
i'm which amy life is bisected as it We're
between two different series of personal
recollectOns. are but great eXaggera-
lions of lapses of memory of which We
all have some faint experience
We can most of us remember much
better what occurred to US in connection
with another. There are comparative
blanks in most of our lives upon which
we have to consult the memory of 9TH
ers rather than our own. And though in
the exceptional case of either accident
or disease some of these blanks are far
more complete and even tragic than
those of which ordinary men have any
experience. there is no reason far say
ing that even the worst Of them breaks
the personality i'm two, unless these
sIighter discOntiuuities, of which We all
have experience. may be also said to
endanger the personal identity. There is
hardly one of US who cannot point out
some critical passage Of his life Of
which he has scarcely any remem-
brance, though it may have had very
great influence on his whole life and
destiny, and though it may even have
required and called forth q great effort

New York, Dec. 29.-What promises

Probably a short interval viii be al
lowed in the day time for rest, and
then the programme resumed with in
creased ardor.
The entertainment is to be given in
the town hall and the institution to be
benefited by it is a dispensary for the
relief of the sick poor. There is a long
list of titled people among the patron
esses. and it is presumed that many
members of the nobility named viii

Officers of the public library in Phil

age the character of the books demand

for light fiction decreasing and the call
for more substantial works increasing.

rule permitting a reader to take out two
books at time, but limiting him to one

=. Jones Of Topeka r. A. Strickland
of Junction City Fred Hoffman of New
ton, Prof. c. @. GeOrgeson of Manhat-
tan. J. z. Nissley and George Morgan
of NIilt0nVale We're selected as a com
mittee on legislation. The committee
held its first meeting at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel in this city last night and
took the preliminary steps towards
framing a law which will be presented
to the legislature.
The measure contains the ideas sug-
gested by Mr. Morgan, dropping the
dairy school proposition, calls upon the
legislature to appoint dairy and pure
food commissioner for the state, with
one assistant. Mr.. Morgan said last
night that the growth of the pure food
sentiment and the coming exposition in
Topeka are features of such import
ance that the two departments should
be com bined.
The committee. of which A. E. Jones
is chairman and Fred Hoffman score
tary. adopted a resolution that the State
Dairy association should select three
names and present them to the gov
ernor, he to select the dairy and pure
food commissioner from that list. This
provision will hardly survive, even if
the bill be passed. said one of the com
mitteemen last night
The committee held another session
today and discussed portions of the bill,
although its salient points have al
ready been agreed upon. The members
Will return home today.

Topeka in large numbers to work for
the passage of the bill.
Chairman Jones of the legislative
committee has been in communication
with the members of the legislature and
has received from 100 out of 165 mem
bers letters containing for the most
part promises 10 aid the passage of the
dairy law.

A STATE FISH HATCHERY
Is Proposed by State Fish Commits.
siOrer Sadler

The present closed season, or the time
i'm which it is unlawful, to take fish from
Kansas streams extends from April / to
July 4. Although he made no recommen-
datiOns upon the subject In his biennial
report State Fish Commissioner Sadler
said to reporter for the Journal.
This law should be changed by all
means AS 1T now stands it covers only
part Of the spawning season The
closed season should begin January ].
This would cover the entire spawning
season and would not then interfere with
the prOpa cation of fish
Commissioner Sadler in his biennial re
port to the governor, now i'm the hands OF
the printer, recommends the establish
meut of q state hatchery and additional
appropriations for the department. with
only $500 said Mr. Sadler. 1T is almost
an impOssibiity to accomplish any great
amount of good succeeded in stocking
eleven or twelve in number. but it re-
quired a large amount of hard work and
scheming to travel and pay expenses that
We're absolutely necessary with so small
an amount of money
During the two years Mr.. Sadler has
put out 2.250 fish and anticipates that
with proper legal protection from fisher
men, a few years viii find the streams
well supplied with large numbers of the
gamey varieties which delight the sports
man. Unless the spawning season is bet
ter protected, MIR. Sadler says it viii be
difficult to establish the fish in the
streams i'm which he has placed them
although the waters thereof are partic-
ularly adapted to the propagation of the
varieties which he used in stocking them.

from Paris to keep house for him. His
Boston friend, Mr.. James T. Field, has

him to go down on his knees. as Van

that famous book was still in embryo
on turning to the left, coming from a
walk along the parks out of High
