4 eacn year. An English contem-
porary cites in evidence the Off
cial list OF articles left in one year II, the
London cabs and omnibusses. Il includes
$50 canes, $4,000 umbrellas, 267 rugs, 742
opera-glasses, 926 articles of jewelry. $50
watches, 1920 purses, besides dogs.
birds, CATS etc. The list seems like a
pretty severe indictment OF. the mental
qualities of the modern city dweller, and
If the hard pressed newspaper reporter
happens to see it, he will undoubtedly
send off a narrowing syndicate letter to
all the Sunday editors on this alarming
demonstration of mental degeneracy of
the twentieth century man. Even our
medical contemporary suggests the adj
Visibility of those who can ride in omni-
buses and who forget things Of consulting
a physician. The more marvellous thing,
however, is that they do not forget far
more often than they do. Civilization has
suddenly increased a thousand-fold the
necessary and synchronous preoccupa-
ton was the predominant characteristic
Of mental action before our time of be-
wildered interests and duties. ~ +.
Not to have learned the trick of posing
in the attention at one instant such
multitude of objects is certainly not a
demonstration of mental failure but
rather of mona cquirenent of difficult
art. But the more convincing proof of
the actua; triviality of the amount Of for
getfulness is shown by the comparison of
the number of memory slips of the Lon
doner with the number who ride in omni-
buses and other public carriages Let us
double the number Of lost articles, and
put the total at 10000; If now we roughly
estimate the number of rides each day
in London, as at least on the average one
for each twentieth citizen. we calcuLec
that in year there are surely as many
as 100,0O0,0O0 trips made Consequently.
on the average, person forgets some ar
ticle once in about every 1000 trips taken.
The alarmist adviser of consultation of
an alienist for such failures of memory
would probably smile at this evidence Of
his own mental failure. .erican Medi-

~ HE Tantremar Marsh is a noble ex.
-panse of diked land at the head OF
the Bay Of Fundy. One hundred and
sixty years ago it was an important
section of the debatable ground be-
tween the French and English pow
ers In North America. To-day it is famed
for It's harvests Of rich grass, for the wild
fowl that flock in with the high tides OF
spring and autumn, and for the storms
which rake it from end to end. One used
to hear, also, by times, the tale of the
House on the Uplands, tho the place has
fallen to ruin now. 1t was my fortune IN
witness the denouement of that strange
story. The thing was unusual, and NOT
little sad. 1t took place during holiday
