A man who has done great deal of
work in correcting some large dictiona-
ries, encyclopedias and historical ref
erence works, who has studied ten Ian
guages and who is well posted on n
number of foreign lands, examined
over $1,000 pages Of an encyclopedia
published in this country. Much of the
work he did without the publishers
knowledge. Though this encyclopedia
was considered to have been edited
very carefully, he discovered over 1000
mistakes in the first volume alone. In
the following Volumes he found many
thousands.
In speaking of one of the most ia
lous violin virtuosos who ever lived it
was stated that in his youth he fell out
with his parents and ran away to Cas-

died. In giving a sketch of a living
European author the statement was
made that he wrote and published his
first book nine years before he was
born. In calling an editors attention

AIDING THE MEMORY.
Mnemonic systems Have Been In Use
From Time ImmemOrinl.

MnemOnic Systems Have Been In use
From Time Immemorinl.
The art of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by assoclating in the MIND
things difficult to remember with those
which are easy of recollection Is said to
have originated with the Egyptians.
The first person to reduce 1t to system
was, according to Cicero, the poet 81
monides, who lived 500 B. G. His plan
is known as the topical or locality
plan and was in substance as follows:
Choose a large house with number OF
differently furnished apartments in 1t.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that is noticeable In the house so that
the mind can readily go over the parts.
Then place series of ideas i'll the
house-tle first In the hall, the next in
the sitting room, and so on with the
rest Now, when one w.shes to recall
these ideas in their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and
the idea placed in each department VIII
be found to readily recur to the mind
in connection with it.
1t Is related that this mnemonic plan
was first suggested to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from banquet just before the roof of
the house fell and crushed all the rest
of the company, Lie found on returning
that the bodies were so mutilated that
no individual could be rec Jgn,zed, but
by remembering the places which they
had severaliy occupied at the table he
was able to identify them. He was
thus led to notice that the order of
places may by association suggest the
order of things.

shading in every limb, ba he'd in per-
spiration, bewildered ard gaspng,
there came to his ears the sound that
had never greeted him before nor ever
was to greet him again-a hiss, loud,
sibilant, shrill and penetrating. Some
of the audience began TO laugh, others
took up the chorus of the hiss. 81 love
my country" said Jefferson in speak
ing about his feelings at that moment,
"but at that hour cursed our national
anthem from the bottom of my heart
The Goddess of Liberty turned to-
ward him slightly, and he heard her
gentle voice murmur, Poor fellow!
1t sounded like the noise of cannon
in his ears and added to his confusion.
The kissing increased, and sarcastic
epithets were hurled above the bedlam.
The orchestra played over and over
again the introduction of the anthem,
old Muller, the leader, calling out, go
on, go on" But it was no use. The
kissing had done its work, and, with
presence of mind enough to bow, JEFF
ferson retreatcd hastily to the wings,
where he threw himself into the arms
of his mother, and together they sob
bed out their misery over he incident
and the failure.
It was weeks before JEFF nrsOn recov-
cred from the blow the jee ing had in
ilicted upon him and years before he
could think of st. Louis without a
shudder, yet, though condt mining hiss
ing for so slight an Offer 5e, never n
word did he utter at any time in his
life against the city or its citizens that
had used him so unllindly. The warmth
of the reception rendered him on his
reappearance in st. Louis thirty-two
years later, more than compensated
him for that early fiasco, as he per-
sonally declared at the time, and sub
sequently he came to love the city that
had given him such cold douche and
set down in its records his only mark
ed failure of any kind.-St. Louis

That they are even more sensational

Romance is coy in the morning.;
courtship thinks it requires moonlight,
but the hour before breakfast is the
best in the day, and it is the hour that
lovers should settta the all important
step in life. We do not half appreciate
the morning, when the faculties have
come from their rest with new lights
and garnered energies.
Suppose Newton had been sitting un-
der that apple tree after dark, how
could he have known what hit him? A
happy marriage is quite the biggest
thing any man can achieve for him
self. Millions are poverty without it.
Does it not follow that the wise young
man of this generation ought to apply
the best rules of human experience to
the greatest moment of his life? The
hour before breakfast ought to be his
time. If she looks well then she will
look lovely all the other hours of the
day. 1t is not only an opportunity for
the man; it is test of the girl. Moon
light has its uses, moonlight has its
beauty, but the flowers bloom unseen.
1t is the hour before breakfast that all
nature is brightest, and it is the hour
before breakfast that love should be up
and doing.

What Fatigue RenIIy Is.

Tiredness is as natural condition Of
life as is the ability to perform work,
writes Andrew Wilson in the lllustrat-
ed London News. 1t is natures signal
that rest and repose are necessary in
order to recuperate the vital powers.
Think for moment Of the supply Of
nourishment (Which means the giving
of energy, or 'the power of doing
work. to any part. The healthy frame
receives its due quota of food materi-
MS and out of them builds up its sub
stance and obtains its working power.
But the supply of energy is not con-
slant; hence after certain exhaustion
Of the store 1t originally possessed the
human engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue is the sign manual
which authorizes the fresh supply.

When Brodie Bluffed Mitchell.

Once, when in England, Steve

Mitchell, the prize fighter. Mitchell

tions on the sprinting ability Mitchell

van. This angered the prize fighter,
who knocked Brodie fat. As he scram-
bled to his feet, Mitchell made another
rush at him, but by then Brodie had a
pistol in his hand and thrusting it un-
der his assailants nose, remarked:
.You tink you're goin' to make a repu-
tation off licxin' Steve Brodie, don't
yer? Well, you just hit me once and

but you won't read it." That closed

THE MAGIClAN'S THUMB.
1t Is His Worst Enemy In sIeight of
Hand Tricks.


In every sort of magic the maglcian's
thumb is his worst enemy, says Nina
Carter Marbourg in Leslies Weekly.
If he could strike off that thumb and
still have its assistance when neces-
sary he would be happy man. In
closing the hand the thumb usually
bends toward the palm in advance of
the fingers. In this way it many times
is much in the way, and practice Is
necessary to get maglcian's thumb in
perfect training. But when he has
practiced in the school of magic for
some time the thumb becomes so fleXi-
bic that it will bend nearly to the back
of the hand.
Cards are invariably the beginning
of Il magician's education. In handling
cards the thumb is especially in the
way, and this is the reason why this
trickery with the pasteboards is Sc
lected for the beginner. To change one
card for another in front of ones very
eyes and still to have made no percep-
tible movement of the hand Is a trick
that beginners learn to perform before
they have been in the school for any
great length of time This, as may be
imagined. is difficult piece of work to
become proficient in, and here is just
the place where determination plays Il
great part in success.

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
"The Men Threw Themselves on the
Bny0nets of the Enemy"

1t is a phrase merely to those of us
who do not know war at first hand,
"Then the men threw themselves on
the bayonets of the enemy" 1t sounds
desperate and dramatic, but this ac-
count in Blackwood's Magazine by
naval sublieutenant at Port Arthur
shows what it really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand to
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades in each others faces.
Half demented samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets of the dozen
Muscovtes that held the traverse In
the trench. Who shall say that the day
of the bayonet is past? Although there
was not a breech that had not its car
fridge in the chamber, yet men reused
to the limit of their animal fury over
look the mechanical appliances that
make war easy They thirsted to come
to grips, and to grips they came.
But II had to end The old colonel
had fought his way through his own
men to the very point of the struggle.
He stood on the parapet, and his rich
voice for n second curbed the fury Of
the wild creatures struggling beside
him.
Throw yourselves on their bayonets,
honorable comrades!" be shouted.
Those who come behind will do the
restw
His men heard him; his officers heard
him. Eight stalwarts dropped their
rifles, held their hands above their
heads and flung themselves against the
traverse. Before the Russian defend
ers could extricate the bayonets from
their bodies the whole pack of the war
dogs had surged over them. The trench
was won.

BISMARCK CONSENTED.
He Was the Final Arbiter of an Eng
Iigh Love Match.

Iish Love Match.
When the third son of the Duke of
Argyle bestowed his affections upon
an untitled woman he felt bound to
ask the old gentleman's consent. The
duke answered that personally he had
no objections to the match, but in view
of the fact that his eldest son had es-
poused q daughter of the queen he
thought it right to inquire her majes-
tvs pleasure on the subject before ex-
pressing his formal approval.
Her majesty, thus appealed to, OBJ
served that since the death Of the
prince consort she had been in the
habit of consulting the Duke Of Sake
Coburg on all family affairs.
The matter was therefore referred to
Duke Ernest, who replied that since
the unification of Germany he had
made it q rule to ask the emperor's
opinion on all important questions
The case now came before the kaiser,
who decided that, as constitutional
sovereign, he was bound TO ascertain
the views of his prime minister.
Happily for the now anxious pair Of
lovers the Iron Chancellor" who was
then in office, had no wish to consult
anybody and decided that the marriage
might take place, and it did.

THEY WOULDN'T GROW.
Sharp swindIer Once Sold Uncle
Sam Boiled Seeds.


Several years ago Uncle Sam was
"snagged' by as sharp a swindler as
ever swindled and who afterward
managed in some clever manner to
keep without the precincts of the peni-
tentiary. The sharper in this particu-
lar case worked his wiles on the au-
thorities of the department of agricul-
ture it is stated, and put the free gar
den seed division of that department
in bad odor with numerous agricultur-
lists for many moons thereafter.
He was a CRATER from Graftsburg,
this fellow was, and his particular
graft was boiled tomato seed He con-
ceived the brilliant idea of furnishing
the department of agriculture with
large quantities of these seeds from
the vegetable canneries of Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey, representing
them to be the fresh product Of the to-
mato vine and excellent for propagat-
ing purposes.
The fact that the tomato seeds had
passed through boiling water in the
process of canning and were therefore
practically cooked and rendered un-
productive did not bear a feathers
weight on the fellows conscience, for
was not Uncle Sam regarded as COM
mon prey for all manner of grafters
He was backed by influence, and the
government bought liberal quantities
of his boiled seeds.
When these were sent out in little
manila envelopes broadcast by men,
bers of congress and others to farm
ers and even back yard gardeners in
all parts of the land labeled EARLY
Duchess Tomato Seeds" with full di-
rections for planting, the government
agents acted in perfect good faith. But
at the expiration of the proper period
and tomato vines failing to rear their
heads from the soil where the cooked
seed had been planted there arose a
howl long, loud and bitter. The toma-
to crop is said to have been short that
season, and so many protests were
hurled at the department of agricul'
ture by the injured ones thit it became
necessary, old employees sfy, to estab'
lish a new division temporarily in the
department known as ''the division of
protests and tomato seed inquiry" and
for time it was the busiest branch in
the building Of Notwithstanding

THE POWER TO PLEASE.
| A Potent Factor For Success In Amy
Career You May Adopt.

The power to please is tremendous
asset What can be more valuable
than n personality which always at
tracts, never repels? 1t is not only
valuable in business, but also in every
field of life. 1t makes statesmen and
politicians; it brings clients to the law
yer and patients to the physician; 1t Is
worth everything to the clergyman. No
matter what career you enter, you can
not overestimate the Importance of cul-
tivatng that charm of manner, those
personal qualities, which attract people
to you. They will take the place Of
capital or influence; they are often a
substitute for large amount of hard
work.
Some men attract business, custom
ers, clients. patients, as naturally as
magnets attract particles of steel. Ev-
erything seems to point their way, for
the same reason that the steel particles
point toward the magnet-because they
are attracted
Such men are business magnets.
Business moves toward them even
when they do not apparently make half
so much effort to get it as the less sue
cessful. Their friends call them "lucky
dogs" But If we analy2e these men
closely we find that they have attrac-
tive qualities. There is usually some
charm of personality about them that
wins all hearts. Success.
