Cob stenltng In London.

Cab stenllng Is by no means an I'M
common thing in London. A cabman
who has had my experience In the
great metropolis would not take the
risk of leaving his vehicle even for n
few minutes unless he placed a relin-
bio man In control. but the unwary
are frequently robbed of horse and vc-
hicle. The cab thief usually drives
some distance from where he stole the
property and takes advantage Of some
secluded spot or quiet street to alter
the number Of the vehicle, 80 ns to es-
cape immediate detection. This done,
he has two alternatives. He either
tries to earn a few shillings In fares
before abandoning the cab OF else he
makes away with the whip, rug, mat
and lamp, leaving the vehicle for the
police to take charge of when found.

AIDING H MEMORY.
.HInemonic Systems Have Been In Use
From Time Imniemorial.

binemonic Systems Have been In Use
From Time I~mnienlorial.
The art Of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by associating 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 u system
was, according to Cicero, the poet 81
monides, who lived 500 B. G. His plan
is known as the topical or locality
plan ind was in substance as follows:
Choose n large house with q number Of
differently furnished apartments in 1t.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that Is noticeable in the house 30 that
the mind can readily go over the parts.
Then place a series Of ideas In the
h%ouse-the first In the hall, the next In
the sitting room, and SO on with the
rest. Now. when one wishes to recall
these idens In their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and
the idea placed In each department Will
be found to rendlly recur to the mind
In connection with 1t.
1t Is related that this mnemonic plan
was hrst suggested to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from Il banquet just before the roof Of
tho house fell md crushed MI the rest
of the company, he found on returning
that the bodies were 80 mutIlnted that
no Individual could be recognized, but
by remembering the places which they
had severally occupied at the table he
was able to identify them. He was
thus led to notice that the order Of
plnces may by association suggest the
order of things.

Antarctic Eccentricittes.

Some of the seamen returned to
New Zealand from the Discovery, who
have had experience Of both the Arc
tic and Antarctic, say that the cold in
the latter is less severe, and the at
mosphere drier A curious phenome-
non they did not expect, and cannot
explain. is the fact that the cold
winds in the Antarctic were usually
north. while the comparatively warm
winds were southerly. They saw lee
bergs of the most fantastic shapes. re-
sembling houses. churches and steam
ers. The sledge dogs struck work re-
peatedly, and the men had to do quite
as much pulling as the animals. In
the western sledge journey an ice
slide was descended in one minute ten
seconds. 1t took three days to ascend
the same slide on the return journey,
the sledges being hauled up by block
and pulley.

MORTALITY OF YOUNG MEN.
Intempernnce in All Things Cause of
Early Death.

Intemperance In All Things Cause of
Early Death.
1t has been said that few men die
Of old age and that almost all persons
die of disappointment personal, mental
or bodily toll, or accident.
The passions kill men sometimes,
even suddenly. The common express
sion, "choked with rage" has little ex-
aggeratiOn In it, for even though not
suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die
young, weak men live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their
strength, and the weak have none to
use-the latter take care of themselves,
the former do not. AS it is with the
body so it is with the mind and the
temper; the strong are apt to break, or,
like the candle. run; the weak burn up.
The inferior animals, which live tenn
perate lives, have generally their pre-
scribed term of years. Thus the horse
lives % years, the OK Il or 20. the lion
about 20, the hog 10 or T., the rabbit
s, the guinea pig 6 or I.
The numbers all bear proportions to
the time the animal takes to grow its
full size. But man of all animals is
one that seldom comes up to the aver
age. He ought to live 100 years ac-
cording to the physiological law. for
five times twenty are 100; but instead
of that he scarcely reaches IN average
of four times the growing period. The
reason is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and most intemperatc
but the most laborious and hard work
ing of all the animals.
He is always the most irritable, and
there is reason to believe. though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly
feels, that more than any other animal
man cherishes wrath to keep it warm
and consumes himself with the fire of
his own reflections. Health Culture.
