Something About the Center of Menu
oFy-Case of a Canadian
Soldier.

In your brain there is little bunch
of nerves that automatically takes note
of the names of people, places and
things, says London Answers. It is the
center of memory, and it works quite
independently of the rest of the men
tai machinery. If this living notebook
is injured the result is an entire loss of
memory, but that is all. If any other
part of the brain is touched, death is
instantaneous.
An army surgeon recently related
case that came under his own notice.
A man in the Canadian mounted police
was shot with a Mauser bullet, which
penetrated his skull and buried itself
in the upper part Of the brain. The
surgeon was surprised to find that
when the man had recovered from the
shock he appeared to be but little the
worse for the presence of the bullet,
excepting that he had entirely lost his
memory. ~
The, man could walk about and
seemed as strong and active as ever;
but he could not remember his own
name or the name of his regiment.
When he wanted anything he had to
point to it, for he could not remember
what it was called. He could under
stand anything that was said to him,
but could not reply intelligently with
out making use of sort of sign Ian
guage. The surgeon concluded that
the bullet had lodged in the memory
center, and performed an operation,
with the object of extracting it. This
was done, and after a few days the
mans memory returned.

with stout shears in the form shown
in the. diagram and tackled inside the
curve of each window to serve as an
awning. The roof, sides and ends
should be painted some quiet color,
such as gray, cream or olive. It is
then ready to mount upon a pole or
upon the ridge of some building.
When to be mounted on a pole, square
the top of the pole and nail firmly
down through the bottom of the
house into the pole; then take some
green sticks, cut from ash or other
bushes, and put in four supports from
the corners to the pole, as shown in
the cut. Use stout pole, and plant
it firmly in the ground to prevent too
much swaying in the wind. When
mounting the little house upon the
ridge of some building, nail the bot
tom firmly to the ridge as to the pole,
and use side supports from the bot
tom of the house to the roof of the
building.-N. Y, World.

New York In Provincial,

Perhaps there is no city quite so
provincial as New York, due to the
fact that the average New Yorker,
whether in society or business, has
got into the habit of patronizing the
inhabitants of any other city. The
New York business men complacently
feel that the rest of the country is
financed by New York and must do
as New York tells it, the society man
or woman of New York believes that
outside Of New York, with few excep-
tions, there is no society worthy Of
the name, and what society does ex-
ist IL merely q bad imitation Of its
New York prototype.-A. Maurice

Preparing to Sing Bass.

An English clergyman tells a story
of one of his parishioners, whom he
found one cold, wet and windy night,
standing shivering under the archway
which spans the high road, over which
the Somerset & Dorset railway runs
at Shillingstone. Wondering what
the man could be doing standing on a
cold, wet night in the most draughty
place imaginable, the clergyman asked
him what he did there, and the reply
was: 'Please, sir, I be going to sing
bass next Sunday in the anthem, and
I be trying to catch q hooze''

Paige was a member of the contract
