NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN.
One Story That Illustrates the Te- nacity of the Subjective
 Mind.

A year ago Chicago woman was vis- 1tlng in New York village. She went with her hostess to make a call on the next-door neighbor. The woman on whom she was calling incidentally men, tloned that she expected a niece who was Just graduating at some college.
 Her name was not mentioned. A few days later the Chicago woman left, On her way to the station she stopped next door to get parcel. It was handed to her by young woman. That is all there 'as to that end of the story.
 One day lately the Chicago woman went on lake trip. On the boat she met young woman from a neighbor- ing state. Each thought the others face was familiar, utneither said any, thing-a bout it. Finally common friend happened to mention a Michi gan summer resort to the Chicago wom- an. The Chicago woman had never been there, but had relatives who went there every year. This led to men ton Of the New York village. In g Hash the Chicago woman knew that the girl with the familiar face was the one who gave her the parcel the day she left. The minute the name of the vil- lage was mentioned to the girl she rec ognlzed the Chicago woman as the one to whom she had handed the parcel.
 This is good example of what the hypnotists and 'suggestionists" call the subjective mind. It illustrates very aptly the old saying that nothing is really forgotten, and that all impress sions Are indelibly engraved upon the mental retina. In this fact lies the ex- planation of many vagaries of the mind that on the face of things puzzle the entists.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

LESSONS FROM THE FROG.
Swimmers Can Get Valuable Poi1t=

Those who want to become expert swimmers will do we'll to go to the
 nearest brook or swamp and study the manner and method of the frog" re-
 marked teacher of swimming in one of the natatoriums in the city. ''The most expert swimmers in the world
 are tyros compared with the laziest
 bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swimmers is that they spoil the effect of the stroke by the recovery.

 but almost directly sidewise. After the kick his legs are slowly drawn to- gether by his motion through the wa ter until they hang out behind him in a perfectly rigid form Every toe of his web feet is held out as straight as an arrow and then nothing retards his motion through the water. He will lie in this position until every bit of the momentum is lost-that is, until he has gone as far as the force of his kick will send him through the water. Then again he slowly and carefully draws his legs in and repeats the perform ance. You will notice that in drawing the legs up to his body for second klck the frog recedes little. This Is owing to the action of the upper leg on the water, and it corresponds ex- actly with the similar movement on the part of man. The first thinp A frog does is to give his body a good start through the water, and he holds himself in such way that he gets the whole value of the stroke. A man starts out with just such kick, but after he has gone two or three feet he will begin to swing his hands forward 'r draw up his legs in such fashion that they offset the whole value of his work. He stops his own body half way before the effect of the stroke has 'pent itself. Chicago Chronicle.
