DESPERATE
sThe Men Threw themselves ON the
Bayonets Of the Enemy.s

seThe Men Threw Themselves ON the
Bayonets Of the Enemy."
It is asphrase merely to those Of US
who do not know war at first hand,
'sThen the men threw themselves on
the bayonets Of the enemy" It sounds
desperate and dramatic, but this ac-
count In Blackwood's Magazine by Z
naval sublieutenant at Port Arthur
shows what It really means: !,
For thirty long minutes a hand to
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades In each others faces.
Half demented samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets Of the dozen
Muscovites that held the traverse In
the trench. Who shall say that the day
Of the bayonet is past? Although there
was not a breech that had not its car
fridge in the chamber, yet men reused
to the limit Of their animal fury over
look the mechanical appliances that
make war easy. They thirsted to come
to grips, and to grips they came.
Rut it had to end. The old colonel
had fought his way through his own
men to the very point Of the struggle.
He. stood on the parapet, and his rich
voice for q second curbed the fury Of
the wild creatures struggling beside
him.
Throw yourselves en- their bayonets.
honorable comrades!" he shouted.
f'Those who come behind will do the
rest!!'
His men heard him; his officers heard
him. Eight stalwarts dropped their
rifles, held their hands above their
heads and flung themselves against the
traverse. Before the Russian defend
ers could extricate the bayonets from
their bodies the whole pack of the war
dogs had surged over them. The trench
was won.

AIDING Il MEMORY.

Mnemonic systems Have Been In Use
From Time Immemorial.
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 it to a system
was, according to Cicero, the poet ST.
monides, who lived 500 B. G. His plan
Is known as the topical or locality
plan and was in substance as follows:
Choose q large house with a number of
differently furnished apartments In 1t.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that is noticeable in the house so that
the mind can, readily go over the parts.
Then place. a series. Of ideas in the
house-the first In the hall, the. next In
the sitting room, and so on with the
rest. Now, when one wishes to recall
these ideas in their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and
the idea placed in each department will
be found to readily recur to the mind
In connectionewith It.
It is. related that this mnemonic plan
was arst suggested to the poet by q
tragic occurrence. Having bsen called
from a banquet just before the root 5oof
the house fell and crIuished all tho ret
0f the company, be found on returning
that the bodies were 20 mudlated that
NO individual could Be recognized, Int
BY remembering the places which tthsy
had severally occupied Ut the table be
was able to identity them. He was
thus led to notice that the order 6f
places may by association suggest tie
order of things. Z.
