A Feat of Memory.

Some light is thrown on the POSSIBLE
tiles of memory culture by an interest
Ing recital contained in the autobiog'
raphy of Robert Houdin, the famous
coniurer. He taught his son to glance
at, say, shop window and to memo
rize accurately, as in n brain picture
the windows contents. Then he would
ask him to describe the contents, check
ing and correcting him rs he went on
On one occasion Houdin was com
manded to the Tuileries to give per-
Torrance before the French court. AS
he passed through an anteroom to the
saloon he babe 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 q
SECOND sight" test. Declaring his un'
familiarity with the Tuilerics, 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
ishment Of the court.

Barley extends over wider climatic
range than any of the other grains and
is successfully cultivated over Il great,
er breadth of the globe than any other
cereal. 1t fiourishes 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 IS and SO
degrees north latitude. In genial eli
mates, such rs those Of Egypt, Barbary
and the Sc 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
a spring sowing.

When to Bow,

Indecision with regard to ''when tC
bow" and "when not to bow" would ap
pear to be more general than that ex'
peuenccd with regard to shaking
hands or "not shaking hands," as the
case may be, to Judge from the ques.
tions OH the subject that reach this de-
partment.
Out of doors is naturally the field fol
bowling, and where it comes most promi
nently forward. When, for instance
two ladies meet who have been recently
introduced, if bows are not exchanged
when passing each other it would be
next to impossible to do so on subse
quent occasion, and thus the acquaint.
ance comes virtually to an end. Again
it is equally required that bows should
| be exchanged between friends unable to
speak to each other on the occasion OF
meeting, more especially between men
and women than between women them
selves. If woman does not bow to a
man she knows when he looks expectani
of her bowling to him he considers him
self cut by her, although she has nc
such intention, and was really postpon.
ing her greeting, until-say, she had
shaken hands with her host and hostess
at an outdoor gathering. This phase OF
bowling often repeats itself, and goes to
prove that the right thing should be
done at the right moment-a bow given
when due. The same equally holds
good between men and women as be-
tween women. An introduction at a
ball or dinner, indeed if made at any
function OF at any time, almost obliges a
lady to recognize the acquaintance by a
bow at any future meeting. If she does
not take advantage of her privilege to
| acknowledge it in this manner, it is taken
| to mean that she does not desire to con
tinue the acquaintance.-McCalfs
Magazine.

An Irish Suuire's Advice,

An upstart Irish squire went to an
old squire for advice as to sending q
challenge.
"Healy Of Loughlinstown," said he,
"has threatened to pull me by the nose
whenever he meets me. What would
you advise me to do!'
HAS he really used that threat?'
asked the squire.
He has"
WELL" said the squire. "I'll tell you
what to do--soap your nose well and
it will slip through his fingers"
Perhaps the most contemptuous dec
lination of a challenge was that of an
Irish gentleman of the old school.

Don't think that you are the only one

Don't raise your hat to lady friends

Don't leave your wife at home when

Don't kill the love of devoted woman
by so-called innocent flirtations.
Don't forget that your wife has right
to regular allowance which she can call
her own.
Don't sneer at your wife's first failures.
Rather should you show an appreciation
of her efforts to please you.
Don't forget that your wife has a
birthday. A small present accompanied
by kiss and loving word, is quite as
much appreciated as a costly gift.
Don't forget that your wife needs rec
reation at times, just as much as your
self.
Don't think that your wife can man.

Don't get out of temper if breakfast is

know little or nothing about it.
Don't neglect to take an interest in
your wife's dress, and above all, allow
her sufficient money to dress according

Spring STYLES.

Spring shopping is the order of the
day and never before in the whole his
tory of shops and shoppers-which be-
gan away back sometime in the child
hood of our race-were the new goods
quite so fascinating as in this present
year of grace. Indeed, it would almost
seem as if the manufacturers had about
reached the limit of perfection both as
to texture and colorings.
In cotton goods mercerized effects are
greatly in evidence. And even where
the process has not been used its in
fluence is apparent in the glossy finish
of exquisite weaves. Green and white
and red and white are among the choicest
combinations in new cOttons as well as
in summer silks. The latter, by the
way, there is no doubt, will again be in
vogue for shirt waist dresses for the
summer.
The shirt waists for the coming season
are smartness personified and already
the shops are filled with eager purchasers
of these indispensable and comfortable
garments. Both comparatively heavy
and sheer cotton and linen materials
have been used for their manufacture.
rduCy COttOu NCSlihSs UdshCt "O"'SS'
piques, oxfords and cheviots, plain and
embroidered linens are some of the
fabrics used for the heavier waists
tailored waists" they are usually called
while null, handkerchief linen, dotted
swiss and lawn are the diaphanous
materials out of which the thin waists
ale builded.
There is perfect rage for embroidery
of all sorts and the embroidered shirt
waist is the sine qua non of elegance. A
very attractive model lately shown in
one of the very smartest of our big shops
was of pale green linen with the entire
front handsomely embroidered in an
elaborate design of grapes and leaves
done in white thread picked out here
and there with just a suspicion of black.
A white null waist is heavily embroider,
ed with conventional pale blue flowers
and green leaves.
Another feature of this seasons shirt
waists decidedly worth noting, is the
fact that all of them are finished by
pretty stocks and collars of some sort
There was time when almost any old
thing was considered good enough to
finish the neck of shirt waist, but now
we have changed all that and this sea,
sons offerings are completed by the nat,
test little neck-riggings possible. Cleri'
cal tabs are seen on many of the stocks
while others show long pointed ends OF
cravat drawn through buckle.-Mc'

mask was sign Of distinction. With
