A Memory Test.

A professor Of mnemonics had gone
to lecture at or near Canterbury. Aft
er the lecture was finished he had to
wait for his London train. 1t was
most comfortless day, and he retired
to an inn for shelter and refreshment.
To pass the time he began to exhibit
his feats of memory to the yokels In
the inn parlor, and one and ell were
thunderstruck except the waiter. There

of one OF his most ci&cult feats the
whistle sounded of the "Oaly train to
London tonight" and he rushed Off to
catch it. He caught 1t at the station,
and his reputation caught 1t in the inn
parlor, for the waiter, coming in with
some ordered refreshments and finding
him gone, pointed to the corner where
he had been sitting and exclaimed.

Cork in 1765 was taken In hand by a
physician, who brought him around in
six hours, and we are told the fellow
had the nerve to attend a theatrical
performance the same evening.
Richard johnson, hanged at Shrews-
bury on October 3, 1896, obtained a
promise from the undersheriff to place
him in the coffin without changing his
clothes. After hanging half an hour
he still showed signs of life, and on ex-
animation 1t was found he had
wrapped cords about his body connect
ed with hooks at the neck, which pre-
vented the rope from doing It's work.
The apparatus was removed and the
man hanged effectively.
1t may be offered in explanation OF
the cases mentioned that there was no
drop used at executions In those days.
