THE NAME CAME BACK.

1t IS a familiar contention among PSYCHOLOGISTS
that an incident once thoroughly presented to the
human mind cannot be effaced from the memory. In
this connection DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, the well known
missionary to Turkey and the founder of Robert Col
kge, Constantinople is reported by the Washington
Star as telling a humorous story:
Among DR.. Hamlin's friends and substantial help
ers was a Philadelphia gentleman whose name could
not be recalled by hedoctor, who was then in Turkey.
Every incident connected with their interviews, even
to the street and number of the house in which his
benefactor had lived, was as plain to the doctor as if
the events had occurred but yesterday; but to save
his life he could not think of the gentleman's name
AS time went on this failure of memory caused him.

HER OLD SLAVE AIDED HER.

Two members from Mississippi were swapping
stories during the intervals between re rreshments.
when, IN an accidental way, the name of ex-senator
Blanche *. Bruce, was mentioned. "That reminds
me, said one, of a story told me a long time ago
by a barkeeper at the Ebbitt. l was in there one
day when Bruce came in, went into one of the side
rooms, and, having be, n served, walked out without
saying anything to any one.
"You don't draw the color line here, John I re-
marked to the barkeeper.
MOT on that man, sir, l don't was the reply.
: ! have had a pretty good opinion of him since a
little thing that happened soon after he first came
here.
Bruce was in his seat at the capitol one day.
when a card was brought to him. He read it and at
once when out to the waiting room. There he met
the woman who owned him when he was a slave.
With her was her daughter. Both were in tears. She
had lost all her property during the war and was
absolutely penniless. The negro, once her slave, was
the only man she knew in Washington. She appealed
to him. Bruce listened to her story. He got his hat
and went outside with her. His carriage, drawn bv
a handsome pair of bays, was waiting there. He
called the carriage, assisted the mother and daughter
t oenter it with as much Difference as he could possibly
have shown them in the old plantation days, closed
the door and told the coachman to drive to the trea-
stry. Then he called a public cab and followed.
The three entered the treasury together, and before
Bruce came out he had placed in the hands of the
woman he had once called 'missus" an appointment
to a good ~clerkship in the treasury department.
THAT" added the Mississippi member, twas the
reason why the b%arkeeper didn't draw the color line
at Blanche K. Bruce, and it seems to me the reason
was a mighty good one oo.'-TTashin2ton Post.

serious annoyance, and he adopted all sorts of expe-
dents to bring back the name. He would take the
letters of the alphabet one at a time and think over
all the surnarnes he had ever heard, but to no avail.
Then, IN his imagination, he would start down the
street where his friend had lived, enter the house, 90
through the ceremony of introduction, and repeat
word for word, as nearly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place between them ;
but still, he could not recall the name.
When, after thirty years, he returned to his native
land on a visit, he took the trouble to 90 to Philadel.
phia, in order to settle the question which had been
pulling him 50 long. He visited the house, but found
only strangers, who could tell him nothing of the peo-
pie who had lived there SO many years before. So
f1nally DR.. Hamlin abandoned the search thinking that
mere at last was q case where something had been
thoroughly presen ed to the human mind and as thor
oughly effaced.
One night, after he had returned permanently TO
this country, he attended a large dinner where were
several distinguished psychologists. During the even
ing the conversation turned upon the subject of mem
DRY, and the well known scientific principle was dis
cussed. This was too good an opportunity to be lost,
and DR.. Hamlin proceeded to relate his experience at
length as an example of the opposite kind.
He was, ofcourse, listened to with great interest
and as he approached the end Of his story, he said,
with great inpressiveness
Gentlemen, there was an incident presented to nv
mind more than forty years ago, and l have not been
able to think of the name of Captain Robinson from
that day to this"
When his climax was greeted by a hearty burst of
laughter, the worthy doctor looked around in great
aston1shment, for he thought he had told q pretty
good story, and could see nothing in it to provoke
nlrth. 1t was some time before the truth of the mat
ter dawned upon him.
