MEMORY.
Why We Remember Some Things and
Forget Others.
Notes and Queries. }

Notes and Queries)
This is a subject regarding which a
good deal Of nonsense is habitually
talked. We often hear people say that
they have a good memory for certain
things, but bad one for other things.
This believe to be a delusiOn. A mans
memory may be good or It may be bad,
but IL cannot well be good for one thing
well be said that bottle is good for
holding brandy, but bad for holding
whisky In the case OF a feeble Intellect
all It's faculties will be feeble-nenlOr
judgment and al the rest-but they viii
not be feeble for one purpose and vigor-
Gus Tor another purpose. The fact is that
our memory Is in itself equally powerful
or Feeble for all purposes, but we remem-
Der best those things which interest US
most, and so say that we have good mem
cries for such things; while we forget
those things which so not interest US,
and we say accordingly. THAT We have
bad memories for those things.
Horace WalpOle used to say that his
memory was all-retentive as to the names
Of persons and of places, but that ii was
absolutely impOtent in regard to dates.
II has been said of him-by Macaulay
think-that he could tell you the name
of the gFandaunt Of King Ethelwald but
that he could not tell you whether she
lived in the year 500 or In the year 1900.
The truth was that he took an interest
In names and genealogies, but none in
dates. Similarly. in his introduction to
Anne of Geierstein," Scott aptly saws:
Il have through life been entitled 70

able at the close Of the discourse to re-
member one word of IT. PerhaDs there
are few men whose memory serves them

acter that had once interested my fancy
IL has generally been "A frail support not
minute technicali-ias of history, but as to
many more important things"
NO, II Is pretty certain that we have
not got good memories for this and bad
memories for that in any other sense
than that we remember that which inter-
ests US and forget that which interests
US not.
