Remarkable Loss of Memory.

DR.. Macnish in his book on ''The Phi
losophy Of Sleep gives the following
remarkable instance Of lost memory:
"a young American woman on awak-
ening from a protracted sleep lost
memory of all she had before learned.
Her memory was capaciOus and was
stored with a cOpious stock of ideas.
Unexpectedly and without any fore
warning she fell into a profound sleep,
which continued several hours beyond
the ordinary term. On waking she was
discovered to have lost every trace Of
acquired knowledge. Her memory was
q clean washed slate. All vestiges both
Of words and things. We're obliterated
and gone 1t was found necessary for
her to learn everything again. She
even acquired by new efforts the arts
of spelling, reading, writing and cal
culating and gradually became ac-
quainted with the persons and objects
around. like a being for the first time
brought into the world. In these exer-
cises she made considerable proicien-
cy. But after a few months another fit
of somnolency invaded her. On rOus-
Ing from it she found herself restored
to the state she was in before the first
paroxysm, but was wholly ignorant of
every event and occurrence that had
befallen her afterward.'

Boone county. Mo-, decided to buy a
spring wagon. The next time he was
in town he went to the local dealer
to see what he had In stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
him at SIS. He thought he would
take 1t, but before ordering he looked
over mail order vehicle catalogue.
Here he saw described a wagon which,
as far as description went, was the
save as the one he saw in the deal
er's store room. In fact, the descrip-
ton was written in such convinc-
ing manner and all of the good points
of the mail order vehicle were brought
out SO thoroughly that it appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $6745. Mr.. Brown
Thought of the saving OF $7.55 which
represented several days OF hard work.
The more he thought about 1t the
more he wanted to save that amount
and In the end the Chicago mail or
der concern got his check.
When the wagon finally arrived,
with q freight bill of $3.50, he rode to
town with his son and spent half a
day putting 1t together. He had to
buy a screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and few bolts to replace
some that had been lost in shipment.
