MEMORY'S FRANKS.
why Do We Remember Certain
Things and FORGET Others.

Things and Forget others.
The vagaries Of memory are some of
the most interesting of those connected
with the human mind and body Why
do we forget certain things and re-
member others? Myriads of these ir-
regularities are as yet unaccounted
for. Perhaps not even the cieverest
metaphysician will ever account for
them
Professor James reminds us how
something which we have tried in vain
to recall will afterward, when we have
given up the attempt "saunter into
the mind" as Emerson says. as inno-
Gently as il it had never been sum.
moned.
Again, bygone experiences will revive
after years of oblivion, often as the
result of some cerebral disease or acct
dent.
Such a case is the one quoted by
Coleridge of q young woman in Ger
many who could neither read nor write,
but who was said to be possessed of a
devil because, in fever, she was heard
raving in Latin, Greek and in an OBJ
scure rabbinical dialect Of Hebrew.
Whole pages of her talk were written
down and were found to consist of
sentences Ineligible in themselves, but
not having the slightest connection
with one another. To say that she was
possessed of devil was the easiest
way of accounting for the matter.
AT last the mystery was cleared up
by physician, who traced back the
girls history until he learned that at
the age of nine she was taken to live
at the house of an old pastor, great
Hebrew scholar, and that she remain
ed there until the pastors death. 1t
had been for years the old mans Gus
tom to walk up and down passage
near the kitchen and read to himself
in loud voice.
His books were examined, and among
them many of the passages taken down
at the young woman's bedside were
identified. The theory of demoniacal
possession was abandoned = Youths
Companion.

Ceiling. and Ventilation.

Rooms with low ceilings or with cell
ings even with the window tops are
susceptible Of more perfect ventilation
than those with high ceilings. In such
rooms the leakage at the windows,
which is constantly going on. keeps the
air in motion throughout the room,
whereas If the ceiling is higher only the
lower part of the air is moved, and an
inverted lake Of foul and hot air is left
floating in the space above the window
tops. This lake, under the law Of DIFF.
fusion Of gases. keeps actively at work,
fouling the fresh currents circulating
beneath 1T.

A SALE OF WARTS.
One Juvenile Transaction That
Seemed to ConArm n Theory.

Seemed to C0n2rm n Theory.
This theory" said the travelling
man. that warts will so away when
you stop thinking about them may have
something i'll it, and l am inclined to
have faith in it. l know from actual
observation that warts can be transfer
red and will give you the case in point.
Il was buying a newspaper when I
noticed that the hands of the newsboy
We're covered with warts. His stand
was within block of my house. but
not know me by name. l said to him:
You should get some one to charm
away those warts that being the meth
cd of getting rid of them when l was a
boy.
They amt mine now,' he said. L
sold them last week to Teddie Stearns
and they'll all go to him.
Now, Teddie Stearns is my own boy,
and l did not like to think of his
smooth, chubby hands being disfigured
with warts, and we did not live in a
wart atmosphere. They belong more
exclusively to the barefoot boy with
cheek of tan conditions. l had been
such myself When l went home,
called my boy to me and looked with
some anxiety at his hands. They were
as clean and white as girls.
What is it, papa?' he asked curl
ously.
:" I am looking for warts
oh and he drew a long, delighted
breath, there amt any yet. but they're
sure to come, for / bought them from
"Carrotty Mike for pin. He says
I'm sure to get 'em. Amt you gladY
"Glad! could have cried, and be-
lieve his mother did cry But that
blamed little cub said he wouldn't be a
tenderfoot, and he would have warts.

away for months trip, and when
came back he was as proud as Punch.
His hands had grown crop of warts
that discounted anything ever saw in
that line. | hunted UP 'Carrotty Mike,

when Gold Looks Green.

Gold can be beaten out SO thin that it
allows light to pass through it. in
which case, though it still appears
brilliant yellow by reflected light, it is
green as viewed by transmission-that
is, by the light that passes through it.
This curious effect can easily be OBJ
served by laying piece of gold leaf
upon plate Of glass and holding it be-
tween the eye and the light. when the
gold will appear semitransparent and
of leek green color.

The Right of Defense.

In the course of a trial an English
Judge is reported to have said: The
laws of God and man both give the
party an opportunity to make his de-
tense, If he has any. l remember to
have heard it observed by very learn
ed man upon such an occasion that
even God himself did not pass SEN
tence upon Adam before he was called
upon to make his defense. ADAM
says God, where art thou? Hast thou
eaten of the tree whereof command
ed thee that thou shouldest not eat?
And the same question was put to Eve

WORK Of JARED SMITH
THE EXPERIMENT STATION IN
KEWALO TRACT.
The United States Commissioner of
Agriculture for Hawaii Tells of the
Work he is to do.

Jared Smith, United States commits
sioner of agriculture for the Territory
of Hawaii, who arrived yesterday on
the Sonoma, is preparing to make ar
rangements for the clearing of the land
and erection of buildings where the sta
ton is to be located in Kewalo. There
are about 220 acres in the tract to be
used by the station, the land having
been set aside some years ago by the
Hawaiian Board of Agriculture. Most
of 1t is covered with lantana now, and
the clearing of it will be a heavy task.
MY general instructions" said Mr.
Smith, are to make experiments in
dairying, fattening and feeding animals
in the islands, growing vegetables and
fruits. We shall look into the growth
of food supplies generally and shall al
so take up coffee.
Sugar will be let alone in the ex-
pertinent station. 1t has been all look
ed after already and there is no need of
work with 1t at such a station as is
about to be established.
The difficulties in the way of raising
cattle, poultry etc, in Hawaii, have
been much discussed and a part of the
work of the station will be to find out
solve the problems of diseases, food re-
quirements, etc, that are supposed to
underlie the failures of the past.
In every state and territory said
the commissioner. tine United states
establishes a station such as the ono
about to be established here. We have
permanent appropriation of $4,000 a
year for Hawaii, but it is not enough
for the work that is to be done, and 1t
may be increased. To start with there
will be erected an office, labarotory
and residence and we shall fence in and
clear the land. This will make the
first year an expensive one. ] under
stand that the lantana will be hard to
clear off.
Bulletins will be issued here from
time to time as they are ready, report
