NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN.
Ore st0r. That lIIuatrRtes the Ts- Dacfty of the Subjective
 Mind.

A year aga Chicago woman was wis iting in New York village. She went with her hostess to make q call on the next-door neighbor. The woman on whom she was calling incidentally men toned that she expected niece who was just graduating at some college. Her name was not mentioned. 4 few days later the Chicago woman left. On her way to the station she stopped next door to get parcel. It was handed tc her by young woman. That is all there was to that end of the story.
 One day lately the Chicago woman went on a lake trip. On the boat she met young woman from neighbor- ing state, Each thought the others fuce was familiar, bet neither said any thing about it. Finally common friend happened 10 mention Michi- gan summer resort 10 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 B flash 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-
 age was mentioned to the girl she rec ognized 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 scientists.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Some Mexican Lave.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For example, the statutes make it twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of a woman as that Ot man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para moar across the face with a knife. IT his victim had been man the sentence would not have been n ore than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that a woman's best possession is her beauty and that to mar it does her great in.j jury. There k another curious law. If person should be wounded in an encounter the punishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under a docto,'s care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of Il general division. If the in- jured man occupies more than 40 days in his recovery the penalty doubles up. As we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory enActments-Ka Kansas City Jour mai
