MarNelS of Memory.

The newspapers are telling of the
remarkable feat of a postal clerk who
in civil service examination did not
make single error in properly sort
ing AZ, 900 test postal cards, each rep
resenting a postoffice in a certain ter
ritory assigned. This was done at the
rate of thirty-three and one-half cards
a minute. Far more noteworthy is
the memory of an expert piano play
er, who will play an entire seasons 8
concerts without a note of printed
music before him. His memory is so
perfect that hundreds of thousands of
notes must be at the orderly and in
slant disposal of the will. And this
is combined with a multiplicity Of
synchronous recollections of timbre,
tempo, expression, etc. The mystery
is at present past the limiting of any
explanation, and this fact is as beau
tiful as it is appalling. 1t shows us
how far we are from any real science
of ychology.-American Medicine.

recently by lightning had the likeness
of fern imprinted on his body by

ported from Europe. During a shoot
ing competition at Pont, in the Can

stand was struck by lightning, and
twenty-five persons received shoes 4,
from which, however. they sustained
but little physical injury. One most
singular effect, however, remained
Every person who had felt the cleo
trio shock had, photographicaIly

A STONE IN HIS APPENDIX.
Strange Case of a Young Man Who
Suffered From Appendicitis.

Within a period of less than twelve
months Clarence Lowe of Morrisvflle,
N. Y, has suffered from three severe
and prolonged attacks of appendicitis.
The last attack came on about three
weeks ago. Making no permanent i'm
provement, the attending physicians
decided that an operation would be
necessary to save the PATIENTS life.
and a few days ago the appendix was
removed. The surgeons were dunn
founded to find that the severed ap-
pendix contained what closely resem-
bled smooth stone or some hard SUBJ
stance nearly an inch in length and
resembling a filbert. The doctors are
strongly of the opinion that the ball
gradually formed in the appendix, as
the opening of the appendix is much
too small to admit of the passage of
any hard substance of the size of the
one they found. The young man is
making rapid recovery.

How Mustard Robs Wheat.

How Mustard Robs Wheat.
The plant foods found in the soil
consists of certain salts or minerals
IS common table salt, saltpeter, etc
certain Of these salts are abundant
enough in the soil at any one time
TO feed the crop for a season or
many seasons. Others, such as sait-
peter (nitric acid) are liberated, be-
come available to the plant, or are
rendered soluble, only gradually-that
Is, there may be enough OF the salt
peter in the soil to last a crop only a
feW weeks. AS it is used, however,
more of this food is rendered soluble
so that it can be used by the plant
We have this process going on in the
soil during the growing season; the
numus or vegetable substance con-
stantly yields a certain quantity OF
the saltpeter and the growing plants
are at the same time using portion
or this. When the growing crop con-
tains weeds there are two classes OF
plants drawing on this food substance.
Nearly all of the weeds begin flower
ing and ripening seeds long before
the wheat or fax or corn begins ma
turing it's seeds. Now, a plant that is
Towering and ripening seeds draws a
greater amount of nutriment or food
from the soil, proportionately, than
does a plant that is merely putting
forth green leaves. The demands OF
the mustard or French Weed upon
the soil during June and a part Of
July is greater and more insistent
than an equal amount of wheat or
other crop and it's demands must be
first supplied. In other words, the
French Weed or mustard is taking up
the excess of saltpeter as rapidly as
it is formed, leaving no surplus food
to be drawn upon by the wheat or
fax when its time comes to blossom
and produce seed. The case is some
what similar to a farmer drawing
heavily on his moderate bank account
for pleasure trip just before he
needs the money to harvest his crop.
The weeds draw on the bank account
in the soil for plant food that should
he saved for the wheat or other crop.

Indoor Lily Culture.

From Farmers Review: The lily
requires somewhat different treat
ment from the narcissus and tulip.
1t will have two sets of roots under
proper culture-one from the base
of the bulb and one from the stalk
above the bulb. In order to provide
for the latter, set the bulbs low in the
pot. That is, fill it to about third its
depth with soil, and then put in your
bulbs, using three ordinary sized ones
to an eight inch pot Then just cover
no more-after which set the pot
away in dark room. When you bring
it to the light, after base roots
have formed. as the stalk reaches
upward, fill in about it with earth un-
til the pot is full, thus providing for
the proper development and support
of the stalk roots. This is an import
ant item in lily culture.

Names Marvellous Fish.

No wonder the fish supply is limited.
when they can't find anything to eat
but lobster trap buoys. This is the
case of the fish at Manset. Two men
went out one night recently to tend
their traps. AS they were pulling one
they noticed it went sailing round the
bay at lively rate, and they began to
get scared Taking the line in a little
more, they saw a fish about three feet
long sailing up toward the surface as
though he were in distress.
Nothing in the fish line scares these
two men, SO they pulled the fish
aboard and proceeded to investigate
From the fish they pulled eight or ten
fathoms of cord line (more or less)
and lobster buoy. The buoy was a
block of wood about a foot long and
five inches through. 1t must have
been difficult for the fish to stay under
water with such a piece Of wood in its
stomach.

Euxptian Shorthand.

Shorthand writer's should be inter
ested in the recent discovery of a
papyrus which throws some light on
the state of stenography in Egypt in
the third century. The document found
is contract between a shorthand
school and a man who wished one of
his slaves to acquire the art. The fee
was 120 drachmae, 40 down, 40 at the
end of a year and the balance on
graduation" How long the course
lasted is not stated, but evidently the
art of the stenographer was not an
easy one, and it was practiced chiefly
by slaves.

MiIIet.

OF the two distinct types Of millets,
the foxtails and the cattails, the for
mer is most generally grown because
of the better quality of hay secured.
To the foxtails belong the German,
Common, Hungarian, Japanese and
others, all of which make fair yields
wherever corn can be prohtably
grown. Light soils are to be preferred
and the drainage should be good, as
the mil1ets are easily affected by cold
and damp conditions. They should be
planted after all danger of frost, either
in drills or broadcast. preferably the
former method. The usual methods
of cultivating corn will answer for the
millets. The German variety of the
foxtails is the popular variety for
heavy soils and the common for light
soils in Texas The cattail millets un-
der favorable conditions make a much
larger yield per acre than the foxtails,
but where such conditions exist it is
a problem to save the crop.-B. C.

Breeding Black Lansshsns.

From Farmers Review: My ex-
perience in breeding Black Langshans
dates back to 1894 and leads me to
believe that they are one Of the finest
breeds of fowls to raise. Being of
large size and docile they make a
very fine appearance and are a very
proud bird. / find them to be the best
winter layers of any chickens 1 have
ever raised, and for fancy points COM
bined with utility they are away ahead
of anything / ever bred. They are
becoming more popular every day, as
it will be noticed at the show season
just closed. They were one of the
leading classes at Chicago and at
New York and Boston there were
larger exhibits than on former years,
and quality was above the average.
1 predict a fine future for the black
Langshans, they being the most popu-
lar of the Asiatic family, and the
farmer or fancier who is contem-
plating going into the poultry busi-
ness will make no mistake in choos-
ing the Black Langshans--E. NJ

Notifies in Butter.

The cause of notifies in butter Is
still not entirely determined. They
may arise from several causes. One
of the principal of these is the un-
equal mixing of the salt with the
butter Sometimes, too, there are dried
fakes of cream on the sides of the
vessels in which the cream is held,
and these dried fakes are too har-
dened to dissolve in the cream. A
proper handling of the cream before
churning and proper adding of the salt
after churning will generally remove
he difficulty.
