MEMORY FREAKS
One of the Theories to Explain Certain Antics of the
 Mind.
ANCESTRAL REMEMBERING
Experiences Which Are as Queer as They Are Com
 mon.

There are few people who have not at times been startled by some vivid reminiscence which has suddenly il- lumined their minds when visiting some entirely new locality or while viewing some scene which they know they haGe never seen before. A key has been, somehow, turned; bolt shot back somewhere within the inner temple of their consciousness; a se- cret flashed in upon them, thrill of insight has possessed them, and they feel for the moment new light has broken over them. Words of amazed recognition rush to their lips, as a full current of new thought is switched on and they feel they want to say so much all at once that the effort gen. erally ends in their saying little that is coherent, For an all too brief space, the recollection is there--a concept in the minds eye, clear and strong, then 1t fades away, while they desperately hang on to the skirts of the vision, When it is entirely gone they strug- gle to recall it as one would recast q dream. No use-it is gone and the m Ire serious ones realize tha. there are thoughts without words, as well as songs without words; slumbering ideas; dormant pictures; genius held in bondage, which require but the magic word to call them into active operation.
 At other times the vision fingers sufficiently to enahle us to get hold of something fairly definite; we are on firm enough ground to say, "I have seen all this beloic I recog- nize that hill and those ruins: be- !ond that hill there is a village: the end of that lane will bring us to the main road" and we pass on 10 give further details of what the picture tl ngs back to us.
 Have you ever felc ca seeing a Ilace for the first time that yeu f:vc been there besore' This is a favorite question of mine, and in clite 30 per cent, uf the answers I get something which bears directly on the theory of racial memory.

YEAST IS A PLANT.
tsut It Can Be Seen as Su il Only With
 Microscope.

Yeast is a small plant which can be seen only with the aid of the micro scope. says Good Health. There are two varieties, wild and cultivated. for these tiny plants can be improved through cultivation as larger plants can be.
 Firms which make yeast for the market must grow these plants quite as carefully as the florist grows his flowers. Care must be taken that they do not become mixed with oth- CT varieties therefore destroying the culture.
 In some laboratories where yeast is grown two separate buildings are kept for this purpose. These are both care fully disinfected, and if 1t is found that the yeast becomes contaminated in one building the culture is started anew and the other building previous ly disnfected before moving into 1t.
 The purest culture ot yeast Is proba- bly, obtained in the compressed yeast cakes. These can be kept only for a very short time and then in q cool place, which renders 1t inconvenent for the warmer parts of the country In this case of course the dry yeast cakes must be used. which when fresh are perhaps quite as good as the com pressed, except that they require a longer time and should be stsrted in the sponge instead of the stiff dough
 This plant, like bacteria, requires warmth, moisture and food The ma teials out of which the bread is made should always be warmed and the dough should always be kept in a warm place. The temperature most favorable is about that of the body, little less than 100 degrees.
 There is always considerable moist ure in bread and plenty of food for the plant. The food which it requires Is sugar. This 1t obtains from the wheat, there being some sugar in the flour and more sugar is also formed from the starch.
 As the yeast plants feed upon sugar they break 1t down into two sub stances--alcohol and gas known as carbon dioxide, or carhonic acid gas. As the gas is formed it is held by the gluten, which is very elastic sub stance. When the bread is put into the oven the heat expands the tiny bub- bles of gas, causing the bread to rise. or to become much lighter. The all cohol formed, being volatile pro- duct, passes off in the baking.

THE CANDY MEN IN MEXICO.

The street candy peddler is one of the things that attract the attention of the tourist on his first arrival in Mexico. As the climate here is warm enough to be out of doors all tho year round, the candy vendor is to be found at his post from one years end to the other, including Sundays, Sat urday and feast days.
 The candy man has a very ancient history. The Aztecs were very fond of sweets of which they understood the art of making very many kinds and varieties. The soldiers of Cortez tell that on their way from this city to Vera Cruz on that memorable march against the city of the Aztecs they wer met along the way by vendors who sold sweets of many kinds, which became very agreeable to the taste when once they had got accustomed to them.
 The candy vendor takes up his place at the corner of street, where he remains all day from early morn ing till late at night. As a general thing, too, you will find him in the same place all the year round. Once vendor has possession of certain place the other vendors recognize his right and do not molest him with competition
 Sometimes a vendor will sell only one kind of candy. In this case he in all probability makes it himself. How ever, many vendors have lately been seized with the progressive spirit of the times and display quite a little stock in trade of many kinds of sweets, most of which are not known outside of Mexico.
 The candy vendor generally has a small folding table about 1 i2 to 2 1-2 feet in dimension. On this he piles all his wares. Therefore you have no trouble in finding exactly what you want, for there it is all spread out before you. If you do not find it there you need not make further inquiries. The vendor will not have 1t.
 There are more than 1000 street candy vendors in Mexico City. Some of these have pushcarts, an inspira- ton of the new age of modern Mex ico These are generally more ambi- tious than their fellows and usually go about from fair to fair. They are to be found about the better markets and plazas on feast days. and they generally hang around outside the schools, where they sell to the chill

EXPECT BRIDGE READY.
Grand Avenue Car Tracks Over New
 Structure.

The Connecticut company expects that it will have the track over the Grand avenue bridge ready by to-day. This is one of the bridges that has been raised to accommodate an en- largemeSt of the New Haven com pany's "cut."
 The corner of Grand avenue and State street has been greatly improved and the new building erected there is a great addition to the appearance of the locality.
 As soon as traffic can be turned over the new bridge, the wooden one that has done service over a year now. will be torn down and removed. Bremen will hail the opening of the regular bridge with delight as the old wooden structure has been a dangerous as we'll as inconvenient place for them.

a decided gain over last week and week

sprinkling OF feeder sheep. in consequence

mand. the most OF the interest conferred
i'm that branch OF the trade. Throughout
the whole week the movement on all de-
sirable. kinds Of feeders was active and
prices were generally sfeady with last week.
Ii was, in fact, a very satisfactory mar
ket throughout as viewed from a sellers
standpoint.
AS a matter of fact, the markets every
where slumped badly at the close OF last
week. but as II happened, there were no
fat lambs OF any consequence here at that
time TO really show the extent OF the break.
Thus, while lambs this week have sold
around 25c lower and are stll l5a25c lower
than Thursday of last week, the most OF
the loss really occurred as noted above at
the close OF last week.
On account Of the very weak condition OF
the eastern mutton market, fat sheep have
been working downward quite rapidly this
week al all points. Locally there has been
close. but in spite Of that fact. prices
have been strong as compared with mar
kets east Of here. so that packers have
complained that their mutton has been
costing them more than Il ought to at
Omaha. Fat ewes ave suffered even more
loss than wethers and yearlings.
