BLAINE's MEMORY.
a story Showing How Well Developed,
Was It's Power.

:
Was It's Power.
A talent for remembering names
and faces is T. ost convenient one.
especially for a man in public life.
Few men have it in greater measure
than had Mr.. Blaine. There are .
thousand stories of his wonderful
readiness in recalling persons, and
here is one not before in print:
In the early sixties he was travel
ing in a sleeping car through Cana
da. Deep in the Canadian forest
the engine broke down, and there
was delay|of several hours. A lit
tie girl of five years was a fellow
passenger. Mr.. Blaine made friends
with the child and to pass the time
of waiting proposed that they should
go in search of spruce gum. They
came back laden with sticky spoils,
which were. shared with their com
panions.
Fifteen years went by, and the
child had grown to be a college sem
ior without again seeing Bfr. Blaine.
One afternoon she heard him speak
at large public meeting, and at the
close of the address she made her
way to him. She said simply:
"Mr. Blaine, I don't suppose you
will remember me. I am Margaret
Sargent"
Quick as flash came the answer,
emphasized with hearty hand
grasp: lI
"Have you ever tasted any spruce
gum since that was as good as that
was p
OF course the recognition made
that girl his friend for life.
Mr.. Blaine was once asked hov
he acquired the power. He said that
he was not conscious OF any especial
effort to gain it unless by cultivat-
ing the habit of always, thinking
over carefully each night the events
of the day and the persons who
had taken part in them. Probably
a'brief written record of these would
help still further in the strengthen
ing of the power. Certain it is that
the confirmed egotist who thinks
and talks of nothing outside himself
is seldom the owner of the useful
memory for the names and faces of

vacciaatiug in the Hub.

1t was at dinner party. The
bright young man found himself privi-
legged to sit next to the young woman
with beautiful arms and neck. He
thought himself the most favored
parsonage in the room. Suddenly his
fair companion exhibited signs of
nervousness: Two Of his very best
jokes, saved for special occasion,
passed by unnoticed. Her face wore
look of alarm. Apprehensively the
young man gazed at her and, meet
ing the look, she said:
II am in misery"
In misery?" echoed the man.

There Are No Blind FIsh.

There are many animals in the
world which pass all their lives in
darkness, never seeing q ray of
Light. Every one has heard of the
blind fishes Of the Mammoth cave.
The latter is the biggest of 500
great caverns in the United States.
All Of them are inhabited by numer-
ons other sorts of creatures that
have no eyes for vision. Literally
speaking, there is no such thing as
g blind fish, since the most sighiiess
of the finny tribe possesses visual
organs In q. rudimentary condition,
but through want of use the optic
ganglia and nerves have broken
down and been absorbed.

In Montana the other day. when a
Judge declared that it didn't matter
whether a wife was earning more mon
ey han her husband or not-when she
demanded divorce she was to get ali
mory just the same. The only trouble
was that the Judge added that it served
a man right, anyway, for getting mar
ried. And yet they talk about woman's
being illogical! The most strenuous
suffragists woul1 say that any
thing served a man right for getting
married: neither would she assert wo-
