A Feat of Memory.

Some light is thrown on the possibil-
files of memory culture by an interest
ing recital contained in the autobiog-
raphy of Robert Houdin, the famous
conjurer. He taught his son to glance
at, say, a shop window and to memo
riZe accurately, as in a brain picture,
the windows contents. Then he would
ask him to describe the contents, check
ing and correcting him as he went on.
On one occasion Houdin was COM
manded to the Tuileries to give a per-
Torrance before the French court. AS
he passed through an anteroom to the
saloon he bade his son note the arrange
ment of the rooms and the contents of
the bookcases. Then at the close of the
entertainment Houdin astonished his
audience by giving what he called
second sight" test. Declaring his un-
familiarity with the Tuileries, Houdin,
blindfolding his son, asked him to send
his gaze through the wall of the room
to the chamber beyond, to describe the
arrangement Of the chamber and to
read the titles of the volumes on the
shelves of the bookcases. This feat the
young lad accomplished, to the aston
tshment Of the court.

The Elegance of Which Wesley
Wrote Has Long Departed.
John Wesley was the guest of Lady
Moir1 at MORA House. Usher's island,
Dublin, in 17I0 Writing of the house,
the great Methodist said: II was
surprised to observe, though not a
more grand, yet far more elegant
room than any l have ever seen in
England. 1t was an octagon bout 20
feet square and Is or 16 feet high, hav'
ing one window-the sides of it inlaid
throughout with mother Of pearl
reaching from the top of the room.
The ceiling. sides, furniture Of the
room we're equally elegant. And must
this, too, pass away like a dream"
Half a century ago the elegance of
which Wesley wrote departed from
MORA House. The Mendicity institu.
ton dismantled it, took down the int
rior decorations and covered the gar
dens with offices. 1t is today as dis
NAL looking place as is to be seen in
or around the Irish capital, which has
many reminders that it was once

A Word to
Nursing
Mothers

It is we'll known clinical fact
that babies who depend wholly on
mothers milk never have cholera,
and are exempt from two-thirds
the ailments which aff1ict infants.
Some mixing to this has checked
the resort to artificial foods and
begun to make it "good form " for
every mother to nurse her own
baby - when she can.
Some try it, and grow weak and
sick under the strain. With
others the milk flow is insufficient,
and the poor baby is at last given
over to the tender mercies of the
milkman with his corn fodder, and
stale slops, and worse.
If any mother within ten miles
of our store reads this, we want to
give them a hint. Try Vinol.
There are many mothers who have
found that it enabled them to take
more nourishment, restored their
strength, and made baby healthy,
hearty, and happy.
Vinol not only supports the
mothers strength but transmits
to the babe the foundation for a
healthy childhood.
Vinol contains no dangerous
drugs. We are willing to tell you
just what is in it and give you the
money back if it don't help you.
Don't doubt, try it.

Where Barley Is Cultivated.

Where Barley Is Cultivated.
Barley extends over a wider climatic
range than any of the other grains and
is successfully cultivated over great
er breadth of the globe than any other
cereal. 1t fourishes under the heat
and drought of the borders of the torrid
zone and grows sturdily and maturely
on the northern verge of the temperate
zone, ripening and thriving under vari-
Gus adverse circumstances which wheat
is wholly unable to resist. Barley is
found in the Farce islands, near Cape
North, the extreme point Of Norway;
near Archangel, on the White sea, and
in central Siberia between So and so
degrees north latitude. In genial eli
mates, such as those Of Egypt, Barbarv
and the south of Spain, two crops of
barley may be reaped in the same year,
one in spring from seed sowed the pre-
vious autumn and one in autumn from
q spring sowing.

LONG DISTANCE VIEW.
How a Former Kansan Analyses the
Harvest Hand Situation.

Fred II. Collier writes as follows in
the Globe Democrat under the heading
Incompatible Kansas"
Harvest hands who went to Kansas
and find that the harvest appears to
be all in hand already. long before
they got there, are now rioting and be-
having in a manner that will call down
the wrath of the hayseed population
upon them. Some kind hearted per
son should warn these riOtous Uitland-
ers Of the tempest they will stir up
if they get the once-Populist masses
of rural Kansas aroused. Any batch OF
riotous Fasteners who are taken aftei
by the embattled farmers will think a
Kansas cyclone has struck them. They
do have laws out in Kansas, but when
they get mad they don't care very
much about them. 1t was perhaps
wrong to advertise so extensively the
need of harvest hands. but the emer-
gency was pressing and there was no
way of gauging how general the re-
spouse would be. No one could tell the
harvest hands would keep coming to
Kansas until Thanksgiving day ana
that a few still tardier ones might be
dug out of a snowdrift under the Usage
orange hedges along about Christmas
time. The wheat harvest in kansa,
isn't like cotton picking in Texaa.

has had five of these now in succession.

and il prohibition were ever abrogated
one trembles for the consequences All
this comes from the whole-souled char
acter of Kansas. You never make a
mistake about her; wherever she is, she
is all there. The fact that the harvest
hands are all there, too. and none or
them any where else. is another in
stance that Kansas has the loudest and
most compelling voice in the United
States.

DIDN'T TREAT HIM BADLY.

F. NJ Hazlewood, one of the insane
asylum employees who had an alteration
with Superintendent T. c. Biddle over
the receipt of his wages and his release

made a statement in regard to the mat

was the only one who engaged in a
fisticuff with the superintendent. In re-
gard to the episode Mr.. Lakewood
said:
wv. j. Keeney and myself were en-
ployed in the boilerrOOm of the asylum.
On July l we went together to DR.. Bid

He did not refuse but attempted to
argue us into staying. We had other

held him by the throat until he agreed
to give US our money and let us CO.
Keeney took no part in that attack
further than to keep off several clerks
