A Feat of Memory.

The geographer Marcus n~arrates
an instance of memory probably un-
equaled. He actually witnessed the
feat and had it attested by four
Venetian mobiles. He met in Padua
a young Corsican who had SO pow
erful a memory that he could repeat
as many as SO, 900 words read over
to him only once. Marcus, desiring
test this extraordinary youth in
Q presence Of his friends, read
II to him an almost interminable
of words strung together any
now, in every language and some
mere gibberish. The audience was
exhausted before the list-which
had been written down for the sake
Of acouracy-was completed, and at
the end of it the young Corsican
smilingly began and repeated the
entire list without a break and with
out a mistake. Then to show his re-
markable power he went over it
backward, then every alternate
word, first, third and fifth, and SO
IN, until his hearers were thor.
hly exhausted and had no hest.

present retired to the dining hall
where the tables were grooming under
the weight of the delicious repast that
was prepared for the many guests, and
it is well understood by all who know
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Covalt, that there
is no better place to spend the day
thanat their genial home. The guests
were treated to some fine vocal and in
strumental music while the happy
couple received congratulations. A

Tho n1,orobe Of Rinderpest,

Professor E. Symes- Thompson re-
Gently delivered at Gresham college
a course of four lectures on BAG
terra and Disease" Referring to the
Investigations now being made into
the cause of the rinderpest in South
Africa, he expressed his belief that
the microbe discovered by DR.. Ed
dington at Grahamstown might be
regarded as the microbe Of rinder-
pest. Professor Koch appeared to
have ascertained that the organisms
could be transferred from animal to
animal, but that in the case of some
the antelope, for instance the
disease produced was much milder
than in the case Of others. 1t would
probably be found that the inocula-
ton of the less virulent form of
rinderpest would render cattle i'm
mune to the more virulent form, ex-
aotly as vaccination rendered US i'm
mune to smallpox.-Invention.

AS the razorback hog is receiving
some attention at the hands of the
Iowa farmers in different parts of the
State this description of the animal
which we clip from the Cottonwood
Falls, Kansas, Leader, will be interest
ing: The raZorback is O breed of hogs
raised in the South before the war and
is still to be found in some locali-
ties. He is built on the Swiss cottage
style of architecture. His ears lay back
with a devil-may-care air. His tail has
no curl, but hangs limp as a dish rag.
The highest point of his corrugated
back is ten inches above the root of his
tail. He ignores the slow, stately walk
of the Berkshire and goes in q 2:lO trot.
He always travels as if he were trying
to catch a train which had Just whis-
tied for the station and he had q quar-
ter of a mile yet to go. The thorough
bred razorback prOwls about in the
woods, living on acorns. roots and nuts
and, if necessary, can climb a tree like
a monkey. Occasionally he crowds
under a gate and assists in harvesting
his owners corn crop, and then if he
has any time to spare will turn in and
assist his neighbor, working at night
rather than see the crop spoil for want
of attention. He never knew the lux
ury of a sty. He wouldn't get fat if he
could, and is only fit to kill on the day
of eternity. Crossing the razorback
with the blue blood stock makes no
improvement. The only successful
way to cross him is with a locomotive
going thirty miles an hour. He then
becomes an imported thoroughbred
and the railway company pays for him
at the rate of fifty cents a pound. The
ham of the razorback is almost as juicy
as the ham of an iron fire dog, but not
quite as good eating as sassafras bark.
A man who is authority on razorbacks
says the razorback is the only bird of
prey that is amphibious in its habits
and can lift a gate off its hinges with
out ruffiing a feather.

The article referred to by Supt.
Repass was published in the Journal.
1t was a synopsis of the bill now be-
fore the general assembly and will
become q part of the new code. Mr..
Young, the superintendent ofGuthrie
county, touches on the said new
school law as follows, in a late issue
of the Guthrian:
1t is yet much too o to outline
definitely the ultimate conclusions of
the general assembly upon changes in
the school law. 1t seems quite prob
able that the new code will not 90
into effect for several months yet.
1t is certain that to the branches upon
which teachers are examined under
the present law there will be- added a
few subjects for the first class %certifi-
cate only. The new school laws will
not go into force SO early as to affect
the summer examinations. Of course
certificates granted under the present
law, which will apply until the new
laws become operative, will hold for
the full term for which certificates
are given. Consequently every teach
err who now holds a first class certi-
ficate has over a year in which to
work up to the required standard in
other branches. AT an early date the
state department will issue Il short
syllabus in each new subject as a
guide to persons desiring to study
during the coming year. AS soon as
the General Assembly adjourns this
plan will be attempted. We are
very certain that it is disastrous to
scholarship to endeavor in an insti-
tute of two weeks, to cover the
ground contemplated in the new
law. Much can he done in q
good summer school of siAsor eight
weeks, but even then an entire year
Of study is 10 too much time in
which to accomplish this purpose
There is very great opportunity fol
wrong information in these matters
and it is evidently wiser to wait unit
the new laws are in print and it il
known definitely when they will re
into effect, before yenturing to inter.
pref them. In allowing all first-clasl
teachers to receive credit for ability
to teach advanced branches, if suci
instruction is desired, it will not b,
the intention of the law to impos,
any hardship upon teachers.
