A Marvellous Feat of Memory.

Maretus tells US that during his trav- els over Europe he met the marvel of marYels" at Padua The marvel in question was young Corsioan, who WAS in the city for the purpose of pur- suing his studies at the university. Ma retus, having heard that the young man was gifted with an extraordinary mem ory, desired to put the student to the test.
 The person who had informed the traveller concerning the wonderful TO- tentiyeness of the young Corsicaa's memory declared that he was so gifted in that faculty that he could repeat ea many as 1000 words if read over to him but once. Maretus and three distin- guished Venetians agreed to test the ao- ouraoy of the statement. A committee visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub init to tho ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter minable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever.
 The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read of, he looked up oheerfuIly and repeated tho whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without 8 single fault. Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word, he went through the list backward When that task was finished. he took each alter aata word-Arst, third, fifth. etc. -and !. ted them until the company was .3Toughly convinced that they were in the presenc of the most wonderful prod igy of memory that the world had ever produced. st.

The Proveneal snails, which feed in a gourmet fashion upon vine leaves, are peculiarly delicious, and there was a murmur of delight from our company as the four women brought to the table four big dishes full of them, and for a while there was only the sound of eager munching, mixed with the chatter on china of the empty shells. To extract them we had the strong thorns, three or four inches long, of the wild acacia, and Gil these the little brown morsals were carried to the avid mouths and eaten with bit of bread sopped ;n the sauce, and then the shell was subjected to 8 vigorous sucking. that not q drop of sauce lingering within it should be lost.

True Story of What Was Needed to Get
 Move on Mir. Blank.


 A pretty girl living near New York ia affected with large number of would be beaus, but has no use for any of them. For one. ill particular, she had less than no use.
 He showed up one evening in 0 bis cycle suit, and while he sat in the par Tor with the pretty girl the pretty girl'a little brother sewed the bicycle cap firm. ly down to the corner of the hall table and then dumped all the oil from the callers bicycle lamp. But Mir. Blank never murmured while he picked the stitches from his cap as he said good night and walked the a1a miles home without complaint.
 Of course the pretty girl thought that Mir. Blank would never show up again and gave little brother half dozen bear hugs as a reward for bouncing him. But ten days later Mr. Blank appeared again as if nothing had happened, this time in evening dress with a silk hat. It was an awful hot night, but little brother was on deck just the same, and thin slice of limburger cheese went under the lining of that hat before the evening was over.
 Mir Blank did not depart until Il 80 that evening. hut nothing was ever heard of the cheese. This time the pretty girl and little brother made bets that MT. Blank would never call again, but MT, Blank did call again and with smile on his innocent, round face, At about Q: 80 little brother strolled into the par Tor and walking up to the clock pushed the hands around couple of hours ahead and strolled out again silently. Mr. Blank went early that evening and has not beon back since New York Sun
