The Miracle of Memory

often Is conscious OF an effort, and the
brain may be very much wearied In a
Iong-continued effort to recall impres-
sions which have been partially eff
faced. The mental effort consists in
energizing the fbers SO as to make
them project forward their delicate
erdings, 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 dificult. 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 bennmbs
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 SO.
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 sge
is one of the first indications Of fall
ing mental power. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that the memory Of
events which happened in early life
are often remembered, while Others
of recent occurrence quickly pass from
the mind.

Because he did not know that there is

Capt. A. T. Stream, of the tug Daring,
one of the best known and most highly
respected OF the many masters who fire..
qnent this seaport town, claims to be a
descendant OF the famous Viking, Lief
Erikson.
The following inscription on the title
page of IA copy of "Frii,jois Saga" which
lies on the captains table in the cabin
of the Daring, tells its own story: ITO
Albert linus Stream this book belongs
on his mothers side he is descended
from the Lief Erikson who was the first
discoverer OF America"
Capt. Stream.has the record Of saving
many lives, as we'll as receiving the Vic.

He was born at Tsomso, Norway, De.

with friend, he began his life.saving
record. His companion; broke through
the ice, and was rescued by him with
great difficulty. All alone, in 1858, he
saved crew OF eight men who were
wrecked in an English bark on the Aus.
tralian coast. He also saved four fisher
men at the mouth OF the Columbia rivel
on the 4th Of May, 1879.
The crew of sixteen men of the British
bark Lammerlaw, was saved by him in
the winter of 8l-82. 1t was for this SER
vice that he received the Victoria Cross
and an official letter Of commentator
from the London Humane Society.
The crew of the Great Broughton, six
teen men, were rescued by him the same
winter. In 1888 Capt. Stream and Capt
Sprcul, working alternately, rescued
eight men from wreck at Shoalwatel
bay. A high sea was running, and the
rescuers had only defective open boat
to use.
The tug Tssveler and crew were saveG
by Capt. Stream last winter, ami the

Of the Daring and her crew.
Few among seafaring men have such {

SCORES MADE AT

CAPTAIN coRWlN OF NEW YORK LEADS TWENTY BEST MARKS MEN IN THE NATIONAL lNDIvID- UAL MATCH.

Seagirt, N. J., August 2S.-Competition in the national shooting tournament con- tinued today under superb weather con- ditions. General Hall, U. S. A., execut- i've officer, and Captain Rhodes, U. S. A, adjutant, were making every effort to start the national team match late this afternoon and If possible have all the teams complete both the slow and rapid fire work at the 200 yard range before night. To that end 1t was decided to eliminate more than 50O of the competi- tors from the natonal individual match at the completion of the first skirmsh run.
 By the radical change of plan, however, only the ninety-six leaders. counting all scores to include the sklrmish run, will be allowed to make the second skirmish run and complete the match.
 The national pistol match in which there are 106 entries also will be started this afternoon. Then if all goes well the national team match will open and each of the thirty-seven competing teams will be assigned to a target at the 200 yards range.
 The twenty leading competitors pto the skirmish fire stage in the national indi- vidual match were as follows:

SLAGPILE NOTES

'Matty" yielded his willow to some ex- working catcher of the Barons face Guese and on each occasion did he land the horsehide in safe territory. And, be it remembered that each one of Mat tvs" bingles counted for the Barons. His bingle in the first netted run because he stole second and Allcock brought him home In the third his hit sent Wagner across the home plate. In the fifth his safe connection brought Manager Harry home and in the seventh his sharp single past short sent Carlos Smith across the plate.
 Forbes Allcock faced Guese, who is counted one of the hardest propositions in the Southern league, four times yester- day and connected safely thrice, and none of them were "foozles." Manager Harry might move Allcock higher up in the batting order.
 Smiley Anderson is fast gaining ground with the local rooters. He made a pretty catch in left yestreday and his two bingles were beauties.
 "Ginger" Clark did not exert himself and his hired men found Clark as much of an enigma as ever. Clark has not pitched half 8 dozen games this season which he did not deserve to win.
 The four hits secured off Ginger Clark yesterday were badly scattered.
