Freaks Of Memory,

A smart young cavalry officer was
recently exercising his regiment upon
tho drill ground when the familiar
words of command suddenly slipped
from his mind and the strenuous Of.
fort to recall them was utterly futile.
In order to cover his embarrassment
he was compelled to retire from com:
mnnd under the plea OF Illness. The
fugitive sentence came to his mind
when he reached his roomH. Another
interesting example Is that of pop.
uiar novelist who had nearly finished
nm important work upon which hc was
engaged. when sudden failure OF
memory deprived him OF his plot and
ncecssitstcd the laying aside Of tho
book for moro than n week: then an

Peculiar Institution In Russian Prov.

In tho Russian province OF Smoi.
cnsk there is n most extraordinary
lottery every three months.
The tickets cost about two shii.
lIngE. and there iE only one prize.
This consists OF the entire sum made
By the sale OF the tickets. amounting
to about c5Oo. together with lady
described as OF noble birth.
The tickets are only sold TO men.
and the winner OF the prize has to
take the lady or forcgo the money. II

any friend TO whom he wishes to do n
good turn in the position of prize win
ncr.
1t may happen that the winner OF
the lottery Is willing TO marry the
lady. but he does not meet with her
approval. In this case they arc per-
mittcd to remain in single blessed.
ness and to divide the money.
II is not difficult to imagine that
even In Russia. where old maids are
generally looked down upon. the cho-
sen bride may often decide that tho

session than n lord and master Of

Successful tests have been made OF

Irish peat dug up great chunks of the

burn readily on the forge after 1t had
