The Memory Machine.

Amnesia, or loss of memory, is chiefly
interesting to the psychologists as
throwing some light on the nature of
memory itself. A perfect act of mem
DRY consists of three distinct acts
preservation or fixation of certain
states Of the nerve cells, reproduction
of these, and, perhaps, most remark
able Of all, recognition of them as re-
productions in their relations. Morbid
states of the memory may refer to any
of these phases of an act which is as
marvellous as anything in nature.
There are about three thousand million
nerve cells in the surface Of the human
brain; they never die in health and
they are never replaced or added to.
This is memory's machine.

Inside Story of Ship Trust.

Golfers Weekly.
 A little tlalng is often the hinge for the swinging of great events John W. Young was in France as the envoy of the ship building trust, treating for French gold. He was already in most pleasant relations with thirty millions of francs when here in New York City 8 half-idiot, half-ma- niac, Hooper Young, committed murder.
 The atrocious character of the crime gave 1t wide publicity. In digging for de- tails, the papers turned up the fact that the father of Hooper Young was John W. {. Young. Then the element of Mormonism found development and that and the blood relationship of John W. Young and Hoop CT Young to the polygamous Brigham Young were added to the story.
 All this made it's way to Paris, and the eyes of those financiers with whom John W. Young was in trafi1c was quick to take 1t in. The news gave those men of money a distinct shock. Their eagerness to sign for thirty millions of francs abated Flo k argue as readily from son to father as from father to son. That New York mur- der daunted the French ancy. The more your Frenchman looked upon it, the less he liked it.: the more he heard of Hooper Young the less confidence he felt in John W. Young.
 What is more timid than gold? These thirty millions, which had been all but secured. were lost-lost, every franc It was the beginning of the end. The re- verse in France became the very mother of disasters. It was the first link in an endless chain of setbaeks. The ship trust dates it's griefs from Hooper Young and the murder done by his hand.

A Christmas Card Worth Millions.

The most expensive Christmas card ever made was prepared by an English firm in Cal cutta some years ago for the native ruler of Baroda in the East Indies. and intended as a gift for a European lady of rank with whom the great man was in love. This card wys a foot fin length by te ninches in width and of hawless ivory. to obtain which over forty ele- phants were killed. Four of the most skilIful carvers to be found were at work for six months on this magnificent present When 1t was finished the eyesight of three of them was injured and the fourth man became blind The engraving and carving they did were the rep- resenting of 10000 of the stages of existence of Buddha The card was ornamented around the sSiges like frame, with forty-four dia- of a hazelnut. The cost was estimated at half a million pounds sterling. Tn elady never got her present for the potentate was arrested for trying to poison the English resident, and the card disappeared.
