The Man with q Memory.

In 1S43 there died, at the age OF sc
years, a man named John Thompson,
the son of a greengrocer in the parish
of st. Giles, London He had such an
extraordinary memory for locality that
he bore the nickname of Memory Cor
ner Thompson" Some of his feats OF
remembrance are almost incredible. If
he read newspaper at night he could
repeat any portion of it word for word
next day. He once walked through a
well furnished hotel, and afterwards
wrote out list of everything he had
seen. In two sittings within twenty
four hours, he drew from memory a
plan of the parish of st. James, put
ting in all the streets, squares,
churches, chapels, lanes, courts, mar
kets, stables, and even trees and walls,
with an exact plan of st. James pal
ace and Carlton House. He could tell
what trade was carried on in any house
In any street, describe the shop and
what was in it. In fact, had he lived
two centuries ago, he would have been
deemed uncanny, and been burned at
the stake for a warlock.

A Mothers Sympathy.

A little girl once followed the work
men from her fathers estate when they
went home to their dinner, because
she was very fond of a kind old man
who was one of them. When he looked
from his door and saw her sitting on
log waiting for him, he invited he1
to go into the cottage. She looked in
saw the strange faces around the ta-
BILE and hesitated. When he urged her
she raised her sweet face and in
quired:
SIS there any mother here?"
Yes, my dear, there's a mother
here" he answered.
"Oh, then I'll go in; for I'm not
afraid if there's mother there!'
Her child's experience had told her
she could place confidence in a moth
er's sympathy. A home may be small
and mean, but if it is the shrine of a
mothers love it is a happier place than
a palace would be without this blessed
presence. ce.-Evangelist.

A Rain Of RIood.

A singular phenomenon was recent
ly witnessed in Melbourne, the capital
OF the Australian colony of Victoria,
which may be not unfairly described as
a rain OF blood descending upon the
city. An enormous cloud of reddish
dust, pear shaped, and rising hundreds
OF feet in the air, was seen approach
ing from the northwest. A gust of
wind cleft it in half, and one of the
halves was whirled away, missing the
town. The other half, however, came
straight on, and, when half over the
city, got mixed up in a heavy shower.
In consequence, trees, pavements. win
doWs, hats and coats were splashed and
spotted with red, blood-like stuff,
very uncanny to the eye, though moth
ing worse in substance than terra-cotta
colored mud. Huge dust clouds and
binding dust storms are common
enough in Australia. In the far in
terror, heated, dust laden air is some

Satnr.,. us. Of coIar.

The use OF the colors OF animals to
protect them is one OF the highly in
teresting subjects which has been de-
veloped by research AMI discussion in
the last few years. but less attention
has been paid to the equally interest
ing subject Of the use OF colors in
fruits. 1t is a highly suggestive fact
that until the seeds Of plant are ripe
its fruit remains the same color as its
leaves, and is therefore etfectually con-
cealed. But as soon as the seeds are
ready for distribution by birds or an
imals which feed on the fruit the color
of the fruit becomes Brilliant in many
plants. while in all it is in marked
contrast to the color OF the leaves.

Big Cat, Little Cat and Alligator.

SaC, l1Gtle SaC ana AiiSdtoi'
The big cats name was Daisy, and
ve little cat, her daughter, was named
Susan, but the alligator l don't think
ever had name. The cats were OF
beautiful tortoise shell color, with
snowy breasts and paws. The alllga-
tor was very little, and very ugly, with
nothing remarkable about him except
an astonishingly loud voice, all out OF
proportion to his size, as Susan one day
found out.
The two cats, though alike in color,
were unlike in disposition. Daisy was
very good natured and motherly, while
Susan was cranky. If Daisy lay by the
stove, the alligator, would come out
of his pan and join her, and she was
always ready to welcome him.
Between him and Susan, however,
there was always trouble. She never
lost an opportunity to slip up behind
him, unseen if she could, and tap him
on the back, while he would hiss like
a small steam engine if he saw her
come into the room.
1t was very amusing for the whole
family to watch their performances,
and also mystery how he could tell
the two cats apart at such distance,
but he never was known to hiss at
Daisy.
That was long time ago, and pret-
ty Daisy is now resting under the rose
bed in the garden, while the alligator
is stuffed and occupies a place on the
cabinet; but Susan is still alive and
as inquisitive as ever, and when lately
one of the children brought home a
large turtle from the brook, and put
him in pail of water, Susan evident
ly thought that her old enemy had
come back once more.
She would sit down and watch him
awhile, then tap him gently and jump
back, expecting the customary hiss; but
as the turtle took no notice whatever
of her. she soon lost all interest in him.

A Common Fault.

The following story from Onward il
illustrates very aptly the foolish and
sinful habit of exaggeration that is sc
prevalent just now:
Two young girls, full of the vivacity
and heedlessness of youth, met in a
street car. They greeted each other
with real school girl effusiveness. and
one said to the other:
81 never was so glad to see any one
in my life!'
And I've just been dying to see

and blooming girl, who was certainly
in the full flush of health at that mo-
ment.

AlbinO Deer.

White deer. which probably are
albinos, and which figure SO often in
wild Western superstition and ro-
nance, are not unknown in Maine for
ests. There, however, no mysterious
and supernatural attributes are as
cribed to them. Many a Western
hunter fears to shoot a white deer
lest it bring him misfortune. but when
two hunters in the wilds of Piscataquis
county came in from the woods the
other day one of the two fine deer
they brought with them as trophies Of
their craftsmanship was white one,

Confidence tho Keynote to Success

Doubt and unbelief mean destruc-
tlon to any business, and man who
loses confidence in his own affairs
finds failure awaiting him in a short
time" writes Evangelist Moody to his
Bible class in the Ladies' Home .Jour-
nal. uncertainty disqualifies for work
and usefulness in every sphere of life
1t was uncertainty and doubt that
caused the recent state of depression
in our business interests. Financiers
and economists differed in their views
regarding the political causes of this
feeling OF insecurity, but they generally
agreed in directly attributing the re-
verses to the lack of assurance in busi-
ness circles. Confidence is essential
to success in every pursuit of life. And
this selfsame truth is no less evident in
spiritual things than it is in
temporal affairs. The only Christian
life that is useful to the Church of God
and to fellowmen is the one which is
assured of it's own salvation. Dis
trust and unbelief mean sadness and
care to any soul; but joy and rest come
with the certain knowledge of forgive
ness and favor with God.'

MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO.
Where Are You Going This Summer

Where Are You Going This Summer?
Now that summer is here, and warm
weather is near at hand, the great num-
ber of people who have acquired the
habit Of spending the "hot spell" in
some cooler place than home, are be-
ginning to plan as to where they will
go. 1t has been demonstrated that
people living in high attitudes should
go to the seashore, and people living in
low attitudes should go to the noun
tains; and "the mountains" has come
to mean Colorado because there is
found more in the way of recreation
and pleasure than in any other locality.
1t would fill much space to name the
many places which possess attractions,
but any Of the many points on the

as visit, at the springs, resorts, etc.
can be equally well pleased at the
numerous places of the kind. For
those who wish to unite business with
pleasure, is open the opportunity OF
prospecting or investing in Colorado
mines, and in this direction no place
promises such fattering returns. The
mining interests, while having already
yielded enormous wealth, are only in
their infancy, and every day shows the
discovery of rich values never before
suspected, and it is becoming proven
bial that the "tenderfoot" Strikes it"
as frequently as the practical miner.
The latter looks only for the particu-
lar rock that he knows bears fruit.
while the former tests everything he
finds and often discovers the mineral

You will make no mistake in going to
Colorado for your summer outing.

pressions as a physician, OF the Black Hills
country as Il health resort is before me-
l made personal investigation of the Hot
Springs in South Dakota, and believe they
are OF great value To invalids. Water, free
from organic compounds or chemical i'm
purities and a delightfully."- pure. dry atmos-
phere with plenty OF sunshine, are essential
for the repair OF diseased tissues, and such
conditions obtain at Hot Springs. ;. ID. But
am specially interested in the study and
treatment OF nervous diseases, and it was for
the purpose Of informing myself OF the bene-
fetal effects to be derived to that class OF
suffering humanity" that directed my in
vestigatiOns. For such ailments l find the
atmospheric conditions especially commend
able, being light and wholly free from that
humidity SO prevalent In this and lower
attitudes. The clear, pure springs are con-
stantly issuing out OF the rocks at temper
ature about equal to the normal body heat
very superior in benefitting nervous affec-
tions
The high altitude provides a pure; dry air
not possible in other health resorts, however
artifcially beautifed. TO the pleasure seeker,
who is desirOus of rest and recuperation from
the daily duties of routine business or pro-
feSSiOnal life, there Is no better locality.
Hotels are inviting and moderate in rates,
