Pays Tribute to the Memory of a Be-
 loved Worker in the Cause.
 The following is a copy of letter which has been sent by the officers of the New Haven branch of the Wom- ans Board of Missions throughout its constituency:
 From the executive committee of the
 New Haven branch of the w. B. M.
 to the dear friends who are members
 of it's auxiliary societies:
 You have already learned through the Auxiliaries' Exchange of the death of our beloved home secretary, Mrs. Shell don. AS fate as the fifth of November she carried on all her accustomed ac- tivities, though those who knew her best had for months seen that she was doing this only by determined and cour- ageous effort To a friend who renon- strated she said: 'I have reason to think I may drop away any day, and I wish to do all I can while am here" The intervening weeks were marked by paroxysms of severe suffering, followed by great weakness and weariness which were borne with her character istic patience, cheerfulness and humor The last hours were apparently free from suffering. On the morning of De- cember the fifth she peacefully slept her life away and awoke to higher ser vice.
 You all know her "abounding" labors for the New Haven branch, but you can never know how abundantly she labor ed, and yet this was only part of the manifold activity of her life. Her still larger work was in the Home Mission ary society of her church, and to every department of church life her head and hand and heart were freely given.
 The loss is unspeakable, and will be irreparable unless we all are inspired by her example to put ourselves more fully into the work which she has laid down.

It is seldom that a more interesting and scholarly article has been read be- fore a health officials convention than the address by Dr. George L. Boards ley, city health officer of Derby, at the meeting yesterday of the State Board of Health and guests. It was a nas- terly presentation of the theme and showed a thorough familiarity on the part of the writer with his subject. The address was listened to with close attention and on it's conclusion Dr. Beardsley received most fiattering com meats from very many. Dr. Beardsley. realized It was an honor to be one of the speakers and his essay showed the committee had made no error in put ting him on the programme, The sub ject was tuberculosis and its Extir- pation." Dr. Beardsley has for years given a great deal of study to the dis ease and successfully treated a large number. His observations were there fore of great value and commanded much interest.& His treatment of the subject was based on the theory that there Is "too much bug hunting and not enough tissue-building. Con sumption," he concludes, as yielding to the germ because of a low vitality. This low condition, or feeble resistance, may be due to an inpoverishing of its system by poor food, too close confine- ment to work in rooms il1-aired, by ir- ritants which are present in certain processes of manufacturing and by poorly ventilated and damp tenements. The best germicide Dr. Beardsley. pro- nounced to be good blood" Every body is exposed to the bacilli and can't help breathing them, but he can fight them," and just so long as the resis- tanee is greater than the strength of the invader. there will be no break down. Impure milk, or milk unclean, as well as tubercular, diseased meat and cheap food, or stuff that fills up the stomach but does not satisfy the needs of repair" These are factors in the equation of destruction and more concern than the inhaling of few dried germs" Dr. Beardsley de- nounced the cheap boarding schools where the fare is not sufficiently brac- ing, and sounded an alarm against the too ambitious designs of many a teach~ CT to crowd pupil in study beyond the body's sufferance.'' The entire address was common sense and showed that each person has it within his or her own control to check the great white plague. The address will probably be published, as requests have been sent in for copies, and it ought to be widely read for it is sure to help on the cause greatly.

 One of the most peculiar cases of amnesis in history is reported in re- nliniscenees of Bishop Munster. He went out for walk one day, and for teh information of some visitors he expected he had this written on his door. ''The master of the house is not at home" When he returned from his walk he noticed the sign on his door, and, forgetting that ne was the master of the house he sat down on the steps and waited for himself,
 met prominent citizen opposite where the National Bank of Commerce now stands who was actually waiting for himself. He said that the man who was his actual self had promised to meet him there, and was very much surprised why he did not keep his en- gagement. He has laughted many times at the queer incident.
 do not propose to show that every time a man forgets to pay back bor- rowed money his cells are on strike, but know of one very notable case in which that was true. A prominent citizen got $4OO from another man and actually forgot it. Until this day he cannot remember getting the money, but his. bank account fortunately prov ed that he did get 1t, and he paid it back promptly.
 A preacher who had a congregation in a well to do Central Kansas town one Saturady afternoon bought a COW and tied her in front of the church until he was ready to so home. When he came to the church to hold services the following morning he saw the COW suffering for food and water. He dis carded his well prepared sermon and preached powerfully on the text. "The merciful man is merciful to his beast'' He gave a very severe roasting to the 'brutish" person who had allowed the COW to suffer, and it never dawned up- on his mind that he himself was the owner of that COW until after he had dismissed his congregation.-W Wichita (Kan.)

some queer LdpS6S or MeHlOTy 1udC
 Had Very Odd Results.
 To old soldiers it will seem incredible that veteran could forget the com pany and regiment he served in dur ing the Civil War, but that such thing can happen and has happened can be amply verified in the Bureau of Pensions. Congressman Victor Murdock has two notable cases of that kind. One of them is Nicholas Ham, mond-known to nearly everybody as Wichita. That he served in the army during the war there is very good req son to believe, but he cannot remem- Der a single incident or feature of his service, not knowing where he was en- listed or discharged or what company or regiment he served in. Some thirty odd years ago he was struck by light ming, and does not remember thing behind that event.
 Former Commissioner of Pensions Eugene Ware knew that such forget fulness was possible, for he once re- lated this story. He and James Whit comb Riley, the Hoosier poet, were
