The men who play the big drums in
the different regiments of the Servian
army must have an easier lot than the
drummers OF other lands, for they dc
not have to carry their own drums.
In nearly all cases instead of being
slung in front Of tho MAJ who plays it
the instrument is put on a small two
wheel cart drawn by a large dog OF
course the drummer must play as he
marches, but the dog is SO well trained
that there is no difficulty in doing this.
The animal keeps his place even
through the longest marches. and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per-
forming Oh his instrument as it goes
along. Each regiment is provided with
two or three big drums, but very few

TRICKS OF MEMORY.

Notable Examples of ForGctfulness That
Are Supposed to Be True. .
The first ma to start a school for the
training of memory was a Greek, 81
monides, who read one of his poetic
compositions to a large audience and Sc
fascinated them that when he bowed
and withdrew from the building they
sat spellbound. The roof caved in and
killed them all, mangling them SO that
the bodies were unacceptable. but ST.
monides came to the rescue of the de-
spairing relatives and said he could re-
member where each person in the audi
ence sat and who he was. AS there was
no one to dispute his decisions his iden.
LITIGATION was satisfactory, and he profit
ed by the enthusiasm to start a memory
school.
A young woman OF no education fell
i'll in a small German town. She could
neither read nor write, yet she raved in
Latin, Greek and Hebrew. and the SIM
pie villagers thought she was possessed
OF the devil. Investigation proved that
at the age of 8 she had been taken by q
charitable old Protestant pastor. 1t was
his custom for years to walk up and
down "a passage of tho house into which
the kitchen opened and read to himself
in a loud voice out of his books. These
books were ransacked by the physician
in charge of the curious case and who
had made inquiries into the sick girls
past life, and i'll them were found tho
identical Greek and Latin passages
which the girl in her delirium had re-
peated.
There is an authentic case of q bril-
liant young woman, happily married,
who had a long illness, the result of
which was that when she recovered she
had lost every recollection of her life
from the day of her marriage, inclusive
Of the ceremony. The rest Of her life up
to that point she remembered clearly.
At first she pushed her husband and her
child from her in alarm, out her par
ents and friends have convinced her she
is married and has q son. She believes
their word of necessity. though she has
never recovered her memory of that one
year which is lest to he .-Exchange.

STATUE WITH A WARDROBE,
Figure of . Nude BOY in Brussels Ha
Nine Different Suits.

Figure Of q Nude BOY in Brussels Has
Nine Different Suits.
One OF the most curious things in
Brussels, thing that must be charac-
teristic to some extent of the temper Of
the people, is the little manikin statue
and fountain, says the Kansas City
journal. 1t is statue OF naked boy,
said to have been erected by a nobleman
whose lost son was found on this spot.
But there is not the least excuse for the
boys nakedness, for he is well sup
piled with clothing Of many sorts. and Is
rich enough to buy more suits occa-
sionally. ouisXV. decorated the statue
with the order of the Holy Ghost, pos
sibly at n moment when another sort
of spirit had possession Of him, and It
is the owner Of nine handsome costumes
belonging to nine different periods.
On fete days the boy is gorgeously clad;
sometimes in old French costumes,
sometimes in the uniform of the Guard
Civique. All this is funny enough, but
not as curious as the rest. It is the
fashion for wealthy maiden ladies OF
Brussels to fall in love with the statue,
and remember 1t handsomely in their
wills. Through one such bequest this
petted boy is provided with valet at
salary Of $40, and a short time ago an
other unwedded admirer left 5000 for
the completion and maintenance Of his
wardrobe.
