An investigation into the power of
memory in children was recently made
by the director Of the department of
child study for the Chicago public
schools 1t was found, among other
interesting results, that there is no
memory period" no period in early
school life when the memory IS stron-
ger than it is at any later portion Of
the child's life, a period especially
adapted for learning to spell. "While
there are no memory stages there are
undoubtedly periods Of interest that
are especially favorable for the child's
learning to spell, times when the child
is aroused from indifference or from
feeling that spelling is n small part of
life to a recognition that It is impor-
tant. 1t has been pointed out that dur
ing early school life the auditory men,
Ory is the stronger and later that the
visual memory is stronger. During the
whole of school life the audiO visual
memory is stronger than either the
auditory or visual-that is a stimuli
taneous appeal to both sight and hear
ing produces a richer and more usable
image than Is brought about by an ap-
peal to either sense alone. It would
seem from this that the more senses
we can appeal to the deeper viii be the

Of Pitttsburg's Former Recorder.
Pittsburg, Pa. July 1.-The inquiry
into the cause of the death of the late
Recorder J. o. Brown was resumed
by the coroner. and experts testified
that poisons we're found in the stomach
and intestines.
R. S. Eckles, chemist, who made the
analysis of the organs said the stom-
Rch. intestines. brain and liver were
submitted to him.
THE result of the analysis of the
organs was as follows:
"The stomach contained no cyanide
Of potassium or morphine or aconite
or any form of morphine. l found in
the stomach walls arsenic. antimony
and sulphonal found in the intes-
tines sulphOnal dissolved. In the in
testines l found sulphonal and corro-
sive sublimate Anthony is not an
ingredient of embalming fluid, neither
is sulphonal.
"The only important changes from
normal were in the liver and kidneys.
The changes in the liver and kidneys
could have been produced by the poi
sons, and might have caused death. l
do not say they did"
At the inquest Monday Walter R.
Black, a nephew of the dead recorder,
testified that just previous to his un-
cle's death he found box of capsules.
which DR.. William H. McKelvey. Mr..
Browns physician, ordered destroyed.
In an interview DR.. McKelvey said:

cine in the box which found it would

Stabbed His Aged Wife Four Times
and Then Hanged Himself.
Altoona, Pa, June 80. A frightful
tragedy occurred at the home of Far
mer John Claar, two miles from Bak-
ers Summit, Bedford county. CLAIR
suddenly went stark mad while in bed
imagining that an army was approach
ing his home Procuring a big butcher
knife he attacked his wife, stabblng
her four times in the region Of the
heart and lungs, inficting fatal in
juries. She was in bed at the time.
Going down stairs. after this bloody
work, he found an axe, and searching
out his son Justin. who was still in
bed, the old man attacked him. The
son overpowered his father after
struggle, and succeeded in taking the
weapon away from the old man. The
son then made his escape from the
house. Making his way to the nearest
neighbors, he reused them and enlisted
their services to capture his father be-
fore he could harm others. The party
returned cautiously to the house, and
finding no signs of life about, entered.
Mrs. Claar was found in bed, bleed
ing from her wounds, in a helpless
condition but still living. A search for
CLAIR was made. The old man had
gone into the woods back Of the home,
about a quarter Of a mile and there
hanged himself with a bed cord to a
walnut tree. He was quite dead when
cut down.
Mrs Claar, who is rs years old, can
not survive her wounds. Claar had
been acting queer for a week past.

at His Door.
Woodbury., N. J.. June 20. - In a
frenzy of disappointed rage John
Payne, a soldier who lately returned
from the Philippines, shot and in
stantly killed William Minks. so years
old, at the latter's home on Oak street.
Payne was arrested a few minutes
later. He does not seem to care very
much about his fate.
Payne had been calling upon Miss
Lizzie, a daughter of Minks, though
the latter objected to him. When the
young soldier called at the house to
see Miss Minks her father answered
his ring at the door and the two men
stood face to face. There was an angry
quarrel, in the midst of which. it is
charged, Payne drew a revolver and
fred three times at the old man.
All three bullets took effect in the
body Of Minks, who staggered for an
instant and fell dead from the steps 10
the sidewalk. Payne quietly sub
mitted to arrest when Officer Dopson
secured him and was taken to jail and
does not seem to care.
