Diseases of Memory.

Writing of diseases of the memory, a
Russian doctor gives an interesting ao-
count of some of the eccentricities Of
his patients. In the case Of a literary
man, some time previous to his seeking
advice he had been troubled with an
absolute failure of memory.
He could remember exactly every
thing he had done more than a year
ago, but occurrences Of later date he
had entirely forgotten. When attacked
by the disease, he was engaged in writ
ing novel, which he had half finished.
He remembered the first half, but could
not tell how he had intended to finish
it. He was at last unable to remember
whether he had dined.
In another case the patient tells Of
his travels, but repeats the tales dozen
times an hour, with the same phrases.
He would play a game of cards care
fully and well five minutes afterward
he would mention that he had not play
ed for weeks. He would say GOOD
morning. when the doctor made his
first visit of the day, but did not re-
member the visit three minutes later II
the doctor again looked in.-London

Marital relations In Ireland are as a
rule of the most harmonious character.
and If a husband and wife do fall ont
occasionally and even resort to blows
they think nothing the worse Of each
other in the end. Pill Lane is q classic
locality in Dublin, which might with
some truth be described as the Billings
gate of the Irish metropolis. "That's q

a man to a woman sitting ove her

A laborer, out of employment, applied
for outdoor relief for himself and his

debates" In the French Chamber Of
Deputies Are Lively Affairs.
Some of the sessions of our house Of
representatives have been rather noisy
and scenes far from dignified have been
enacted on the floor before the speakers
chair, but never have our legislators
given such an exhibition of rowdyism
as may be seen almost any day in the
French chamber of deputies. The French
statesman can be dignifed enough when
his emotions are not aroused, but when
he is rufied he is very apt to "fy off
the handle"
During the session now in progress
there have been many wild outbreaks.
Discussions of the Dreyfus case and
army scandals have generally started
them. On such occasions the 'debate''
has developed into a rough and tumble
argument in which oratory has been
dropped for pugilism, blows have been
exchanged instead of repartee and vul-
gar personalities used in the place of
parliamentary returt. at such times the
member with the best lungs and the
most muscle has held the floor.

French deputy to leave the chamber

an accident which resulted in The loss
of his left arm. This misfortune turned
out to be his fortune. He burned the
midnight oil in study and made won
derful progress. In 1870 he got his
license as schoolteacher and taught in
New Ulm, which is today his home.
He entered the law department. of the

he was graduated in 1876. He has since
practiced in New Ulm. In 1885 he was

Fish In Nantucket.

The residents of Nantucket are said.to
be SO we'll satisfied with their small Is
land that they care but little for the
outside world. Naturally many Of the
men are employed in fishing, and the
old fishermen delight to tell Of the fool
ish questions asked by the "rusticators'
who visit Nantucket In summer. One
summer visitor, in turn, tells this story
of the town fish market:
"Have you any salmon?' / asked Of
the old salt, who was sharpening q
knife.

then he added, in a pleasantly conde-
scending way, I'VE don't sell nothin
but fish here"
"Well," 1 responded, salmon Ia

"Landl | know folks eat all sorts Of
things. l hear about EN- eatin frogs
and calm them fish. Folks are strange
in their eatin, same as they be in their
clothes" with a critical glance at my
bicycle skirt, "but all the fish that folks
ought to eat can be caught right round
these shores. Can't / sell you q nice

Not knowing any better way to re-

II believe in wholly eliminating per-
sonal authority in leadership. Mrs.
Eddy is the head Of the Christian Soien-
lists and an absolute law to every one
Of them. I teach Christian Science ac-
cording to Christ, not Christian Science
according to Mrs. Eddy.
"In the Science churches there is nc
expounding of the belief. Science and
Health Mrs. Eddy's book, is merely
used to explain the Scriptures. They
read from one, then from the other.
They do not even make their own inter-
probation of the Bible. They accept Mrs.
Eddy's.

women to the vital relation between
the thoughts they think and their bodily

the distance being three feet from tip

The figure of the eagle and the state

are remarkable for their detailed con-
struction, exhibiting a degree of perfec-
tion not often attained in bronze work.

DESTROYING
How Army Are Getting Rid
of Shopworn Explosives.

OF shOpWOrn Explosives.
What to do with some 80 tons of poor
dynamite was the question with which
the army officers stationed at Fort In
dependence were confronted after the
peace protocol with Spain was declared.
The dynamite had been purchased dur
ing the war, and much of it was used
in loading the harbor mines. 1t appears
that being confined in an iron can and
buffeted about by waves does not i'm
prove the quality of this explosive and
makes it dangerous to handle. So it was
decided to get rid of tho dynamite.
At first the method of burning it in
ten pound Jumps on the beach was tried,
but after several explosions which shook
up South Boston this was abandoned.
Finally Lieutenant Raymond tried an
other scheme. He put 100 pounds OF
more in a stout barrel and anchored il

nected the barrel with an electric bat
terry by wires and detonated the ex-
plosive by simply pressing a button.
This scheme he has been systematically
following for several weeks. and the
dynamite is fast being destroyed.
THE results of these explosions have
thus far been harmless, but rather star

times fantastic shapes, giving a very
good idea of the eocentrioity, as well as
the power, of the explosives.
