S URP RISING EMORIES
By George Griffith

ME- all like to be remembered ana one
w of our misfortunes is that there
are so many things we cannot remem-
Der Mnemonics, or the art of assisting
memory, is an important art. 1t was
first suggested by SimOnides of Cos five
hundred years before Christ. Persons
who had little power to recall events, or
put facts and names and dates in pro-
cessions, through this art have had their
memory reinforced to an almost inCredi-
BILE extent
There has been writing in India for
twenty-five hundred years. yet the Gus
todians of the Vedic traditions have
never trusted to it. They trust to disci-
plined memory for the perfect perpetual
ton and transmission of the sacred books.
They learn their sacred lore as their an
CestOrs learned it thousands of years
ago, from the lips of a teacher, though
they have manuscripts and even printed
text Thus the Vedic succession never IS
broken For eight years in their youth,
as we are informed by Max Muller, they
are entirely occupied in learning this
They learn a few lines every day, repeat
them for hours, and thus strengthen their
memory to that degree that, when their
apprenticeship is finished, one can open
them like book, and find any passage,
any word, any accent that may be desired
Among the men of ancient days.
Seneca the Wise could repeat two thou
sand words in the uninterrupted sue
cession in which they were read to him.
The greatest Roman orator before Cicero,
HOrtensius, could reCite all the prices
given at public auction. ThemiStOcles,
who considered it a greater art to forget
than to remember, learned the Persian
language inside of a year. Cardinal
Merchant, the inguist, who is said to
have known a hundred languages, de-
clared that he never forgot word he
once learned To a friend, who had
congratulated Leyden on his remarka-
bic memory, he replied that he often had
found it of great inconvenience. When
the friend expressed surprise, he explained
that he often had wished to recall a par
ticular expression in something he had
read, but could not do it until he had
repeated the whole passage from the
beginning to the expression he desired
to recall.
In later days there was Colonel
george Mathews, brave and capable
soldier, esteemed as such by General
Washington. His memory was wonder
full. While he was ms -nber of Congress
an important document was lost. The
paper had been read once in the session,
and Colonel Mathews repeated it word
for word. Prior to the Revolutionary
War he was sheriff of Augusta County,
Georgia (Of which State he was Cover
nor twice., and had to collect the taxes.
For a long time he remembered the name
of every taxpayer.
Yet we are told that when he read
aloud he pronounced fully the LIS in
would" should" and other such
words, and in spite of his memory
wrote Congress" with a X. His case
reminds one of the saying of President
Lincoln about a man of whom some one
spoke as Ignorant" NO" said Mr..
Lincoln, he is illiterate; but should
not call him ignorant"

Profitable Feeding of the Larry Cow.

Profitable Feeding of the Larry Cow.
There are two common mis-.
takes made in feeding cows:
frat, not feeding literally
enough; second, feeding a ration
not properly balanced 1t has
been found by experiments that
about sixty per cent OF what a
COW 'eat is necessary to merely
maintain her without producInq
any milk or gaming in weig bit.
This being true, it is ~ dent
that it is not economy ,J feed

the cows body.
Below are given balanced ra-
tions that will furnish the ma.
terial necessary to produce
milk in about the right proper
tons. By the term ration" is
meant the feed for. twenty-four
hours. If a COW will not give a
good flow Of milk in the early
part of the milking period,
when fed a liberal amount OF
one of these rations, II indicates
that she is not adapted by nat.

are to be increased, and reduc-

signed that the COW be given

grain is added to furnish the

has seemed unfair to condemn the

be rejected and asphalt ordered.

LOCAL COMMENT

The past week has witnessed the
first eruption in what Is bound to be-
come a serious volcanic disturbance
in municipal politics. The T.-R. has
been repeatedly warned by subterran-
can rumblings to expect an outburst
even before the month of March, so the
past weeks phenomena have not
been surprising, but before the popula-
ton has becs ne wild with panic in the
storm Of vi.iperation, censure and
counter charge, which seems promised
for the spring campaign, the T.-R.
would like to take Its readers into its
confidence and have q clear UNDER
standing of the position this newspaper
will endeavor to occupy turnout the
campaign, and the motives that will
guide its publication. Such an under
standing can be had now while
our heads are cool, which might be
very difficult when the fight is at its
height.
No one need be told that the coming
campaign is going to be warm one.
The present temper Of considerable
number of our people offers constant

flames Of wrath. However, the T.-R.
feels that since it is the only daily
published in the city and the only
newspaper of wide circulation, 1t has
a duty to perform to all the people in
giving every fair man hearing, ev-
cry respectable element representation
and every citizen ready access to the
facts in every contention. Nothing will
be printed in these columns, save pos
sibly signed communications, the mo-
tives of which we can not divine,
with the direct purpose of favoring one
candidate above another, albeit. the
men who conduct this newspaper may
have their Individual preferences. This
newspaper is being published for all
the people, and it is going to give Il
fair hearing to all the people, but 1t
realizes at the start that partisans will
none of them be satisfied.
AS part Of this policy these columns
have been opened this week to very
lengthy communication from Mr.. SUIT
ton, representing one element, and
again to a councilman's reply. 1t has
seemed to us that much Of the criti-
cism of the city councils action as to
paving has been eXtravagant and un-
reasonable. This newspaper has be-
lieved that paving was very desirable
public improvement and it was shown
by the petitions of majority Of the
property owners along every street
paved by the present council, with the
possible exception of Church street,
that the majority of the people assess
ed for the expense are of the same
opinion. 1t has seemed to rs that the
man who opposed paving was opposing
public progress and hence we have had
little sympathy with much of the crit
icism that has been made against the
council The man who Will kick

HINT FOR WAR GAME.

Japanese Range Finders Helped
Togo to His ate Victory.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Orders have
been given at the New York navy yard
to remove the guns from the fighting
tops of the battleships Alabama and
Indiana. The guns are to be replaced
by range finders. The news of the
victory of Admiral Togo in the battle
of the Sea of Japan is said to have
Influenced the decision.
The fate Of the battle was decided
by the superiority of the work of the
Japanese gunners while the ships were
still at long range. The success of
the japanese gunners was due to the
efficiency of the men with range find
ers in the fighting tops. The gunners
were able to pick up" the Russian
ships at a far greater distance than
the Russians could locate the Japa-
neSe.

what M. de Bloch strove for.
