Remarkable Memories.

Memory" said old Fuller, the au-
thor of the Worthless" who himself
possessed a wonderful power of remi-
niscence, sis the storehouse of the
mind, wherein the treasures thereof
are kept and preserved" 1t is unques-
tionably true that as rule great writ
ers have had memories of more than
ordinary tenacity and range. The fac
ulty of Renaissance feeds the fires of
the imagination and keeps lucid and
orderly the sequence of philosophic
thought. How much Milton, for exam
pie, profted by his prehensile and
trustworthy memory is evident. Not
only such poems as 'Lycidas," but
Paradise Lost" and Paradise Re-
gained" are studded with translations
or paraphrases of exquisite extracts
from the classic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or
thought. Avicenna could repeat by rote
the entire Koran when he was 10 years
old, and Francis Suarez had the whole
of st. Augustine in his memory. In
three weeks Scaliger. the famous schol-
ar. committed to memory every line of
the ''Iliad" and the odyssey" AnOth-
er scholar, Justus Lipsius, offered to
repeat the Histories of Tacitus with
out mistake on forfeit of his life.

A Southern Conundrum.

In the olden time before the war, the
days so fa nous for generous hospital
ity in the south, brilliant party was
assembled at dinner in a beautiful
country homestead. Across the table
wit flashed back and forth, and the
guests began to vie with one another
in proposing conundrums.
Mr.. Alexander H. Stephens offered
one which puzzled the whole company,
what is it that we eat at breakfast
and drink at dinnerY'
For some time nc answer came, and
the bright eyes of the southern orator
began to sparkle with triumph. when
Colonel Johnson, taking up the "Com-
monplace Book" Of the hostess, which
lay conveniently by, wrote impromptu
upon the fyleaf the following answer:
What is eaten for breakfast and drunken for din
ner?
Is it coffee or eggs or butter or meats?
Sure double the stomach of obdurate sinner
Who eats what he drinks and drinks what he
eats
But let us consider; tits surely not butter
Nor coffee nor meats, whether broiled or roast
Nor boiled eggs nor poached nor fried in 2 batter
1t must, then, be bread. All, yes when tits
toast!

when, as a mere STRIPPING, he held
sway in a log cabin country school
to the tragic moment when, as
chief executive of the nation, he
was felled by the assassin's bullet.
During all that time his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish.
BE was tested as soldier, as a
lawyer, as politician, as a states
man, as the head of the nation.
In each case he stood the test.
In private life he began by be-
ing a manly boy, a dutiful and ODE
dent son. He continued as a
faithful and loving husband, one
whose example has had its good eff
feet on the national character.
His life was typically American,
the life of an American of the best
type. And through it all he was
a patriot. Above personal ambi-
ton were ever in his mind his
country and his country's good.
