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 a
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 all were
thunderstruck except the waiter. There
is always one skeptic in every COM
munion, whether of saints or sinners.
Do what be would he could not mitl-
gate the acrid smile of acid incredulity
of that glorifed potman! In the midst
of one of his most difficult feats the
whistle sounded of the "Only train to
London tonightv' and he rushed off to
catch it. He caught it at the station,
and his reputation caught it in the inn
parlor, for the waiter, coming in with
some ordered refreshments and find
ing him gone, pointed to the corner
where he had been sitting and exclaim-
ed, "Silly 'umbug, he's forgot his UNI

WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERs
Missouri Pacific Freight Goes Into the
Ditch.

Missouri Pacific Freight Goes Into the
Ditch.
Sedalia, Mo-, Feb. q An attempt
to derail an eastbound fast passenger
train on the Missouri Pacific railroad,
evidently for the purpose of robbery,
was made at Otterville, twenty miles
east of here, rail having been re.
moved. The bad place in the track
was struck by an extra freight train
from st. Louis. The freight was
wrecked, the engineer, fireman and
brakeman being seriously injured. The
train that the wreckers evidently
sought to catch was supposed to carry
considerable money.
The wreckers had removed rail
on what is known as Otterville hill, a
mile and half east of Otterville, and
built fire between the tracks to
bring the passenger train to stand
still. The freight crew failed to no
tice the fire until close upon it and
too late to stop and the engine and
seven cars were derailed and badly
demolished. Three members of the
crew were seriously injured. They
were brought to the railroad hos pital
at Sedalia for treatment.

A Dish of Tea.

In reference to a note about "dish
of tea" it may be mentioned that
"dish" throughout the eighteenth cen
tury was colloquialism for cup. In
fashionable houses at first, and for
long, tea was drunk from a cup with
out handle brought from China. The
vessel was termed dish. When the
Chinese cup was first copied by Eng
lish potters, the convenience of a han
die was added. The saucer also was
brought from China. It received the
name because Of it's resemblance to
the English saucer, a platter in which
sauce was served. The familiar gibe.
saucer eyes," was originally inspired
by the sauce saucer long before Lord
Arlington gave the first tea party in
England in Arlington House, where
Buckingham palace stands, at the Res
toration period. London Chronicle.
