A Test of Accuracy.

Drawing from memory is one Of the
most difficult things in the world to do.
Even professional artists find that they
must rely largely upon hasty jottings
made upon the spot as suggestions for
their pictures. Those who are not art
lists need to look keenly and closely at
what they wish to recollect, for they
must depend upon their memory to
bring details back to them. 1t is an ex-
cellent corrective of superficial observa-
ton to sketch scene as we think we
saw 1t and afterward return to the
scene and take another view. 1t is a
training both in accuracy and humil-
ity. for we learn how easy 1t Is to de-
celve ourselves as to what we have
remarked Florence Hull Winterburn

Mr.. Gallup turned from the ham,
mock article to one on natural gas in
Ohio, and he extended his legs again
and prepared to digest 1t thoroughly.
1t might have occurred to him that
Mrs. Gallup was In the room and that
she or some one else was talking to
him, but he answered not. Ten min
utes had gone by when he finished the
article and looked up and around as IL
he had suddenly missed something.

1t has been found on study Of 300
cases of loss of hair that badness pre-
walls most with unmarried men, which
is contrary to the general belief. The
worries of the bachelor may be fewer,
but they are more trying to the scalp
than are the multitudinous cares OF
the man of family. Most bald people
are found to lead indoor lives, and al
most all of them belong TO the intel
lectual class. Usually the loss Of hair
begins before the thirtieth year. In
woman 1t usually constitutes a gen.
eral thinning; in men 1t affects the top
of the head. Diseases that affect the
general nutrition Of the body are like

factor. If one has baldheaded an

Mr. Gallup held the paper in his left

he was dumb. Mrs. Gallup looked at
him through her tears for n time and
then choked down a sob and said:

Peculiar Occupation For Which Only
Few Are Qualified.

The ham smeller's only tools are a
in barrel to keep his clothes from be-
ing solled by the dripping brine, and
the hams are brought to him, and he
plunges his sharp pointed trier into
them, withdraws 1t and passes 1t swift
ly beneath his nose. The trier always
goes down to the knuckle joint.
In testing meat in that manner the
man with the trier judges by the slight
est shade of difference between the
smell of one piece of meat and anoth-
en- The smell OF the meat Is almost
universally sweet and that Is what he
smells. The slightest faint or deyia-
ton from the sweet smell is therefore
appreclable. 1t is not the degree Of
faint that he expects to find, but the
slightest odor that Is not sweet.
When he detects an odor, he throws
the meat aside, and If it Is not I'M
wholesome it Is sold as rejected"
meat. but If it is tainted it goes to the
rendering tank. The ham tester smells
meat from o'clock in the morning I'M
til 8 o'clock at night, and his sense
must never become jnded or inexact or
his usefulness would be at an end.
Ham testing is not n pursuit danger
