MEMORY DOES NOT FAIL.
1t Simply Gets Weak and Langufd
For Want of Use.

1t Simply Gets Weak and Languid
For Want of Use.
Memory does not 'fail" Except in
loss of all the faculties); it simply gets
weak and languid for want to use, just
as the physical organs do. People Of
ten say. my memory is failing" when
it is really as good as ever if they
would give it chance.
A word, date, name, an incident,
comes up, or rather fails to come VI
when you want it. There seems to be
no possible way of remembering it,
You make two or three efforts, give up
and say, There's no use; it's gone
from me-"
Nonsense! 1t hasn't. 1t is there just
as much as it ever was, only there are
a lot of things over it. Keep at work,
bring your will to bear upon it, try and
try and try, and after awhile you can
get it.
And, better, you will find that the ex-
ercise required in remembering it will
help you next zine and that little
toll and determination put together
will accomplish wonders in the whole
range of the faculties.
Look otter your memory, see where
you are most deficient and exercise it
in that respect. You can do it at any
odd time; while you are walking, rid
ing, resting after days work, listen
ing perforce to a dull speaker. Don't
let few failures discourage you. The
long corridor of recollection lined upon
both sides with valuable material will
be opened for you because of your i'm
portunity if you use it.-Everywhere.

1he manageable girl in Tunis has a
trying ordeal TO go through after her
betrothal TO the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
As soon as the betrothal takes place
she is taken to a room and there COOP
ed up till the fattening process is con-
Guided. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task of her parents and future hus-
band is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
If the husband is widower or has
discharged his first wife, the girl has
the shacEles of the first spouse placed
on her, and she must fill them out.
1t takes long time to do this. as a
rule. and sometimes it cannot be ac-
complished in spite of all efforts. 1t is
then open to the future husband to cry
off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is. if he is fond
of the girl-but if he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout girls
are the more quickly snapped up in

In closing hours of the senate, Gen
Miles happened to be within the senate
chamber Senator Carmack tried to
secure consideration of his resolution
for further investigation of the Philip
pine question during the vacation of
the senate.
1t was during the discussion of the
resolution that Republican senators
deliberately went out of their way to
attack Gen. Miles, wen knowing that
he could not defend himself This
was both eowardly and undigni6ed
Senator Spooner, it is reported in
the dispatches, was especially severe on
the general. The senator should have
remembered that he never got beyond
the rank of minor officer in the army.
Gen. Miles went in private and is to-
day COMMUNICATIVE of the Amer
lean army.
While Senator Spooner was securing
the notorious injunction in aid of his
clients, the railroads, which brought
such severe criticism on Judge Jenkins,
Gen Miles was still actively in the SER
vice of his country. While the senator
has abundance of ability, there are
other qualities equally essential to a
public man, if he is to be serviceable
to his country. 1t is unnecessary TO
enumerate just what they are.
1t is said that the president was de
lighted AT the attaee made on the gen
eral OF course he was That is what
Spooner did it for. Unfortunately for
the president, his hatred, when oLee
aroused, borders on the brutal But

TIE ROAD TO DYSPEPSIA.



This Distressing Trouble.
1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself. when it falls
into state of repose; hence if man
eats three times a day his stomach
must work. fifteen hours out of the
twenty-f0ur. After nights sleep we
wake up with a Certain amount Of bod
lily yigor which is faithfully p0rtioned

every set of muscles. each IFS rightful
share. the stomach among others
When the external body gets weary
after long days WORK. the stomach
bears its share of the fatigue. but If,
when the body is weary with the days
toll, we put it to bed, giving the stom-
ach meanwhile fire hours task which
must be performed. we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one of the largest amounts
of earthly enjoyment-and if this over
taxing is continued it must as certain
ly wear out prematurely as the body
itself will if it is oyerworked every
day.
And, if persons eat between meals,
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until 1. 2,
or 4 o'clock next day: hence it us that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and sc
constantly that it becomes too weak to
work at all.-London Family Doctor.

Two Englishmen were discussing

American humor as not appreciated by
foreigners.
But are the English really SO OBJ

"Obtusel You can't get an idea into
an Englishman's head with a surgical

The questioner remained in solemn
thought for a moment. Then he broke
into hearty laugh.
"Quite delicious joker he exclaim-

Mark Twain turned to the second

an organ is hard surface covered
