Why Do We Remember Certain
Things and Forget Otherss
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 cleverest
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 If 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 a young woman in Ger
many who could neither read nor write,
but who was said to be possessed of a
devil because, in a 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 a devil was the easiest
way of accounting for the matter.
At last the mystery vas cleared VI
by a physician, who traced back the
/ girls history until he learned that al
the age of nine she was taken to live
at the house of an old pastor, a great
Hebrew scholar, and that she remain
ed there until the pastors death. L
had been for years the old mans Gus
tom to walk up and down a passag,
near the kitchen and read to himsel;
in q loud voice.
His books were examined, and among
them many Of the passages taken dow
at the young woman's bedside wer.
identified. The theory of demoniaca
possession was abandoned. - Youth

For a few moments Alvira gazed at the
black letters, as though spellbound. Then
gathering herself together. she drove
swiftly to the doctors, and leaving her
message, she turned her horse homeward.
Forgetting In her excitement, her hus-
bands condition, Alvira burst into the
house, exclaiming bitterly:
There, Silas! it's happened, jests |
said 'twould The Pineville Banks failed
I'D. an every cent we've got in the world
gone to the dogs If you'd only taken
the money out when I told We to, we
might a saved it," moaned she, swaying
10 and fro, with her face buried in her
hands
"Thars Jest what did do. Alvira," an
swered Silas, feebly.
The woman's hands dropped to her lap
as she gazed at him in surprise.
''You did, Silas" cried she, AN what
have We done with it, put it in the bank
down to Woodstock"
'Thats what 1 was thinking o dom
Alvira. an then i lost it," said Silas in
a desperate tone.
Alvlra's ruddy face grew pale with hor-
ror and amazement and she sprang to her
feet. ,.,.
Lost it, she almost screamed. IF you
amt the most shiftless man on the face
Of this earth. Silas Holbrook!' and she
began to cry bitterly.
Il know / be, Alvira, an ia Jest es
lieve die es not" murmured the sick man
turning his face to the wall, with long
sigh.
When the doctor arrived. little later,
he found snas in high fever. while AL
yira. with remorseful anxiety, was at
tending to his wants.
Il should think that there was some
thing on your husbands mind, that was
troubling him." said the doctor, as he
was about to depart.
Il shouldn't wonder IL there was" an
swered Alyira grimly.
For a few days, 1t almost seemed as
though Snas respondent wish would be
realized, but at last the fever went down
and he began slowly to recover. Not once
had Alvira spoken Of the lost money, yet
the thought of II weighed heavily upon
her heart, night and day. In her hus-
bands weak condition, she dared not re-
proach him again for his carelessuess. yet
she struggled constantly with the bitter
words that rose to her lips.
one day, in the midst OF her anxious
thoughts, she heard the sound of sleigh
bells. that paused with merry flourish
before the door Starting TO her feet, she
was about to open 1t, when like whirl-
wind. there flew into the room a young
about Alvira's neck, she exclaimed:
"Ohi mother! please don't scold us, but

girl fondly.

and 1t was not heard there, except at
Gretna Green, which is just on the bor-
der.
After this horrible yawp Puss held
up his paw and a silence like the woods
came over those cats. Then he told
them something else, and you would
have thought that you heard heavy
freight trains a hundred miles away. 10
was the purring of 1893, 999 cats. Some
of them hadn't purred in years, poor
things. There's not much to make a
tramp cat purr in great city But now
they knew that they were to have
dinner, and that it was to be thrown to
them from the roof of the hall. Oh
forgot to say that the reason there were
not 5000, 900 purring is that one had caught
heavy cold singing a serenade in an
unusually thick Loondon fog.
Puss realized that~even mighty Albert
Hall was not big enough for the mob Of
cats, which is the reason that they were
to be fed in the street.
I can't begin to describe what happen
ed when the meat was thrown to the
cats. If they had been humans they
would have been ground to death in the
crush, but you must recolect that there
were N,0O00O0 lives in that crowd, and I
believe that not one cat was seriously
hurt, and l think that every cat got
something to eat
Those people who were lucky enough
to live nearby and could watch the sight
from their windows say that they never
saw anything so interesting and really
so grand in their lives-not even. the Dia-
mond Jubilee. There was something in
the tone OF Puss voice that kept those
cats from falling on each other, and while
there was much growing that shook the
houses, 1t was so deep there, was no out
and out fighting.
AS soon as the dinner was over Puss
asked the fairy godmother to run a scent
of catnip down to the big steamer that
lay in the Thames ready to sail for Aus
tralia, and those cats went tumbling
aboard of her. When she was full OF cats
it was found that two more steamers
would be necessary. and the Lord Mayor D
gave orders to get up steam at once and
by nightfall every cat had gone aboard
and the steamers had started down the
Thames
fancy that Australia will open her
eyes when those cats are unloaded there
and l wouldn't want the job OF feeding
them all once a day with raw meat on
the voyage down, but I can tell you that
when London realized that. thanks 10

dust. which a blast of air carries away.
Thus it is plain steam cleaning is only
a very perfect way of carpet beating. In
a city house or apartment it is we'll 10
have recourse to it. But if one has back
yard, or even floor space big enough TO
spread a carpet out, it can be cleaned at
home even better than abroad.
Having a grass plot stretch the carpet
smoothly over it, right side down, then
with long timber rattan switches, whip II
steadily for an hour After the whipping
sweep the wrong side twice with wet
broom. and finish by going all over it with
a cloth Wrung out of ammonia and water.
Fold one-half over upon the other after
this wiping, then take a very fne, SUN
whisk broom and brush all of the right
side visible. Now tie a double handful OF
either wheat bran or sawdust loosely IN
the middle of a double square of cheese
doth, dip the swab thus formed in clean
ammonia water and rub the carpet face
hard with il until it is dirty. Wash in
plain water, then dip again in the am
monia water, and keep on rubbing until
all the surface is washed. Fold the car
pet again, and wash the next quarter, then
turn over and clean the last quarter
Hang to dry and air taking pains to hang
it straight The bran-swab is an excel
lent thing to clean a carpet upon the
floor. If the COlOrS are aim anu laNSu
1t may be worth while to use prepared
ox-gau a tablespoonful to the gallon, in
the water in place of ammonia.
Brush rugs twice upon both sides, then
whip on both sides and brush again. Hang
them over a line or on trestles, II there
is no grass plot handy nor naked floor
upon which they may be spread Do not
clutch them by a corner and shake hkc
mad. That fetches out some dirt but not
all of it, and is also apt to fetch away
part of the rug-fabric With grass and
sunny day, after brushing and beating,
spread the rugs perfectly smooth, then
sprinkle them lightly, one at time, with
tepid water through very fine hose, or
atomizer, and wipe off with a soft, clean
cloth before the water has time to soak
in. If rug is very dirty, lay it in the
sun, and shake clean hardwood saw dust,
thickly over it, let it lie six hours, then
sweep off with a stiff clean broom, ami
finish by going over with towel wrung
out of hot water and pinned tight over
the broom
Rugs with white or very light grounds
may be cleaned by sprinkling with corn
starch mixed with one-sixth its bulk of
prepared chalk. Let the starch remain
several hours and brush it out with
fine whisk broom, then hang in the sun,
and beat we'll before putting down. This
method is recommended for fine, silky
rugs, as it Injuries neither tint nor tex
ture, and makes beautifully clean sur
face.

1t would be impossible; that there would
be no way of getting word to the cats,
but Puss replied with a knowing air that
there were more ways than one of toast
ing an egg. Now, for my part, don't
know of even one way, but, then, I'm
not Puss in Boots or anything like him,
clever cat.
In the first place he went to the Lord
Mayor of London, who was much sur
prised to see a large cat in patent leath-
ers and wearing a Scotch cap walk into
his office. But Puss carried himself with
such an air and strOked his white whis-
kers in such lordiy way that the lord
Mayor saw at once that he was no back
fence warbler, but a cat of high degree.
Most Noble. Grand. Handsome and
Learned. Worthy. Worshipful, High Lord
Mayor" said Puss, bowling low.
This was a big title for a man by the
name OF Asa Sphinx, but the Lord Mayor
liked Il, and rose from his chair, put his
fingers into the breast OF his frock coat.
and bowed as low as his dumpy figure
would allow.
