While | was a pupil in the Jackson
school, in Newton, some eight years
ago, Capt. John w. Weeks. who after
ward became mayor of the city. one
day visited our class, says a writer in
the Boston Herald. The future mayor
had not been long in the room when
one of the largest boys, who had ap-
parently been in whispered wrangle
with a companion, exclaimed, in a
voice loud enough to be overheard,
"You better not be so swift about CIV
ing information

information" said Capt. Weeks, with
a smile, addressing the boy who had
spoken. Now let us see if you are
well-informed enough to tell the class
the meaning of the word information.
But the boy was forced TO admit
that he was not. Thereupon Cart.

One OF the most remarkable of all
the mental processes is memory. How
are sight pictures and sound pictures
and other impressions stored in the
mind, and how are we able to recall
them? Here. again, we are in the
presence Of wonderful miracle, and
at best We can only seek to make clear
the fact by illustration and compari-
son. There are certain bodies pos
sessed of property known as phos-
phorescence.' After having been ex-
posed to daylight for time, these
bodies give off light in the dark. They
store up certain portions Of the. sun
beam, and give them of again. This
is sort of physical memory. These
phosphorescent bodies simply continue
in the dark that which they do in the
sunlight.
In some way the impressions made
throug hthe eye. ear and other senses
induce such actions and changes in
the nerve cells which are connected
with these organs that under the right
sort of stimulus the same action may
be reproduced, and brought within the
range of consciousness. This repro
duction of past impressions is secured
through the connection of that port
ton of the brain which is the seat Of
consciousness with other portions in
which impressions are stored by
means of the delicate nerve branches
previously described. The numerous
connections of these nerve fbers bring
them in direct or indirect association
with all the different parts of the
brain. In trying to remember. one

The Miracle of Me mory

often is conscious of an effort, and the
brain may be very much wearied in
long continued effort to recall impress
sions which have been partially eff.
faced. The mental effort consists in
energizing the fibers so as to make
them project forward their delicate
endings, thus making numerous con-
facts, perhaps millions, with different
calls, until by and by the particular
cell or group of cells in which the de-
sired word or other impression was
made is recognized. When one is
weary, it is often difficult, sometimes
impossible, to recall names or data OF
various sorts which may be entirely
familiar. This is because of the i'm
possibility of energizing the nerve
cells sufficiently to make the desired
contacts. Anything which benumbs
the nerves. as alcohol, tobacco, tea,
coffee, opium, may have the effect to
benumb the nervous sensibility
and lessen nervous energy, and thus
operate deleteriously upon memory.
Memory, however, is perhaps most Sc
riously injured by loss of sleep. where
by brain energy becomes exhausted.
Sometimes the memory may be for the
time being almost entirely effaced by
long-continued loss of sleep.
Depreciation of memory in old age
is one of the first indications of fail
ing mental power. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that the memory Of
events which happened in early life
are often rene bered. while others
of recent occurrence quickly pass from
the mind.

-Four Facts For
Sick Women
TO Considez


FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation. leucorrhoea,
displacements of the uterus. pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stona-
, ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Il regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom.
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
TmRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and

received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery

perience in treating female ills Mrs.

edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
