rbs F.iIina Memory.

The memory Ia the most easily fn-
tigued Of all BUR mental faculties. This
would seem almost TO follow from the
very nature Of this faculty. To recall
an impression already stored up In the
brain necessarily Involves effort. Ey.
cry student knows that after . few
hours work the memory loses its pow
er and further effort becomes unpraf'
liable. II is consistent with this view
that the memory Is the faculty which
nrst decays with the advance of age,
With many persons this enfeebiemens
sets In before middle life Is past
Events known 10 us In youth, when
memory was fresh and strong, can be
recalled 10 old age, while the things
that happened yesterday readily slip
into oblivion.

Character reading from the features
Is an interesting study In which most
people indulge, though perhaps uncon.
sciousiy. A man is heard frequently
to remark that he never judges per
son by external appearances, but let O
person apply to this same man for n
position and the first thing he will DO
will be to make mental estimate OF
the character. ability and general con-
dition Of the applicant. And he does
this from outward appearances entire
ly. When n man applies for a Job,
Took at his eyes. More signs OF char
acter are expressed through the eyes
than any other feature. The eye IL the
window 10 the brain, and through 1t an
expert character reader can often see
many tale that would be lost to tho
average person. A guilty eye has sent
more than one criminal TO meet his
fate, and steady, unfllnching one has
helped many a man through a serious
difficulty. .--Frequenter

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his message
to Congress yesterday in commenting
upon the expenditure Of money for CAM
paign purposes suggested what be sup
poses would be substantial improvement
in the system Of conducting acampsigu.
lie SAID: "The need for collecting large
campaign funds would vanish If Congress
provided al appropriation for the proper
and legitimate expenses of each Of the
great national parties, an appropriation
ample enough to meet the necessity for
thorough organization aud machinery,
which requires a large expenditure of
money. Then the stipulation should be
made that no party receiving campaign
funds from the Treasury should accept
more than 8 fixed amount fsom any in
dividusl subscriber or doaOT; and the
necessary publicity receipts aud expendi-
lures could without difficulty be pro-
v:dsd." There is no reason to suppose
thai this plan would in the end prove
satisfactory. There are many ways by
which campaign funds could be augment.
