A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM.

| "I have discovered a curious psySCht-
 cal condition,' said an observant man,
 and it would seem to indicate that
 there is much yet that we do not know
 about the strange operations of the
 mind. Memory has never yet been suf- ! ficiently explained from the standpoint
 of either the expert or the layman
 Memory is mystery We do not really
 know why or how we remember. Psychologists call it the association of ideas. But why and how does the mind retain the image? And why and how Is it called up at a particular time? Why should I remember one picture instead of another at a particular time? Why should I remember the picture at all? In argument. asking questions is shal-
 low. It is the method of the sophist.
 And yet these questions may be asked
 with propriety. We do not, and can
 not, understand the why's and the
 hows of 1t all. It is one of the myster-
 es which has, In spite of rule and rote,
 puzzled philosophers who have dealt
 more particularly with psychical ques-
 tions. But the idea l had in mind was
 based on a rather curious experience
 which has come within my own range.
 Some time ago, while half asleep, in
 what psychologists have called the
 dreaming state, with some error, am
 inclined to think, l thought of a certain
 subject I wanted to discuss I taxed my mind at the time with the responsibility of remembering it. I was not asleep at
 the time. l was not awake, And Vet the next day I could not think for the life of me what it was that I wanted to remember I concluded that would think of it the next night when I had reached the same condition, midway be- tween sleep and wakefulness. I did think of it, l even went through more complex mental process. I remembered that I had forgotten the subject during the day, and that I had taxed my mind with the responsibility of thinking of it the next day, and, in way, cautioned myself mentally not to forget it, I | aWoke next morning, and to save my [ life, I could not think of the subject I | wanted to discuss. I remembered that I | had mentally cautioned myself not to | forget. I remembered that I had spe- cially charged my mind with the re- of recalling the particular { thinS, but what the particular thing , was I could not remember I repeated | the thing the next night, and attempted | to increase the things which because If association would increase the points t of mental irritation, if I may say it, with the hope that I might not forget again. But I forgot just the same. I 'ould not remember the subject I want d to discuss I have never been able n 1l1a,. Ja i@ | 'nd it is one of the strangest things hat has ever happened to me.
