MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY.

Not an Uncommon Occurrence for
Persons to Forget Names.
A young Partisan actress who had for
weeks held the title role In a popular
play. recently, it is said, was, while on
the stage. suddenly afflicted with for
getfulneSs and was utterly unable to
repeat the lines of the last act, though
she had successfully passed through the
three preceding ones, says the Indian
apolis Star.
1t is not an uncommon happening
with stage people, lecturers and others,
and seems more likely to occur when
the matter memorized has been SO often
repeated that forgetfulness would ap-
pear impossible while intelligence re-
NAMED.
The same thing happens in a less
marked and conspicuous way to great
number Of people, its most common
manifestation being forgetfulness of
proper names A name ordinarily IA
miliar and just about to be spoken will
vanish from the mind at the instant
and be to the one about to utter 1t rs
If it had never been. His consciousness
grasps at it in vain, and, as 1t were
beats against blank wall. 1t is nj
ways disagreeable experience, this

climb is comparatively easy. 1t follows
stream Of clear, pure cold water
which comes tumbling down a narrow
canyon on the western side, and Major
Powell during his first memorable ex-
ploration Of the canyon called it the
Bright Angel River because 1t was such
q grateful discovery.
People are beginning to find their
way to the Grand Canyon. Last year,
which was the first since the railroad
was opened, about 10000 people came.
This year. If the present average keeps
up, there will be from 10000 to $4,000
visitors, and every one who comes goes
home walking advertisement for the
place. There is nothing to compare
with it anywhere in the world. 1t is
impossible to exaggerate the grandeur,
the sublimity, the impressiveness of the
scenery; and its fascination cannot be
accurately described. 1t is impossible

Russia and Persia have furnished
fresh illustrations Of the old truth that
paper constitutions and paper reforms
are worthless, and that only an effect
i've and organized public opinion
breathes vitality into grants extorted
In emergencies from despotic govern
ments and privileged ruling cliques.
When the revival Of the Turkish con-
stitution of 1876 was announced to the
amazed world skepticism was univers-
al. 1t was not confined, moreover, to
western observers. The young Turks
and the other progressive elements in
the sultans dominions showed that
they were in no hurry to disarm and
assume thatthe millennium had arrived
1t is certain. however, that so far the
march of events i'll Turkey has been in
q direction that Is calculated to
strengthen ones faith in the genuine
ness of the great change. In Russia
the grant of the constitution, so called,
was followed by massacre and civil
war; in Turkey peace has reigned to
storm centers Of Macedonia an armed
truce has tacitly been proclaimed.
None of the militant bands have
tried to take advantage of the situa-
ton; the Christians In the province are
safer than they were before the pro-
clamatlon Of the constitution the insti-
gators Of insurrection and rebellion in
the neighborlng principalities have sus-
pended their activities. And nothing
Is more significant In this connection
than the decision Of England, Russia,
Australia and the other powers to re-
frain from pressing their own pro-
grams Of Macedonian reform for the
present and to await developments.
This means that the new regime is TO
be given a fair trial and that the first
parliament will be afforded a proper
opportunity to deal with the whole stu
alton in European Turkey. The sultan.
on his part. has made additional con-
cessions. A progressive ministry has
been organized: a program has been
put forth which promises to amend all
IdWS anu regulations Lndt are not con-
sonant with the primary principles Of
the constitution. In Russia the great
difficulty is that the constitution is one
thing and the laws administered by To-
cal satrapS and even by ministers are
quite another thing. Is the cause of
reform actually stronger In Turkey
than it is in Russia? Without jumping
at conclusions, it must be admitted that
all the early indications in the former
country are distinctly favorable.

Congress, at it's last session, was
asked to appropriate money for monu-
ment to John Wesley Powell, to be
erected somewhere on the rim Of the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado, which
he was the first white man to explore.
His achievement differed from those Of
other explorers in that they followed
routes or trails more or less known to
the aborigines, while his way was
through a chasm so tremendous, SO ar-
palling in it's vastness, so filed with
hidden perils that even the natives
feared and Stunned it. Until after
Powell and his companions passed
through the terrific depths of the Grand
Canyon what the world had known of it
was mostly based upon mythical tales
told by the Indians, or some hunter or
prospector. Stories were related Of
parties entering the gorge IN boats, and
being carried down with fearful We
locity into whirlpools, where all were
overwhelmed. Others told Of under
ground passages Of the madly rushing

The first color photograph ever made
by fashlight has been successfully
taken at Effingham, Ill. For years color
photography has been the goal that
photographers have been striving to
attain. and during the past two or
three years some successful expert

dring the last six months that the first
successful color photograph by fash
light was taken, and the news that it
had been done came as sensation at
the recent convention of the National
Association OF Photographers held at
Detroit, Mich.

A SECOND SERVING.


Old age should command respect,
faIlow for fifty years should not re-
ceive too harsh treatment on its re-
appearance to the world. But jokes do
not always improve with years, as is
the case in the report of the Manches-
ter Union. The paper first records the
current joke.
Why, Jennie" exclaimed a Sunday
school teacher to quite a large girl.
You have come to Sabbath school
barefoot. Do you think that many lit
tie girls would go that way?"
Yes. ma am. Some of the girls on
my street go that way, and the rest
mind their own business"
Now the above has been trotted out
in the funny column of the local pa
pers for several years, even being
claimed as a local happening in dozens
of places The following article was
printed in Harper's Magazine for Au-
gust, 1857:
"Old Professor S was one of the In
SlI VI 1tdl SSd1 y
ago. and was about as blunt and
straightforward a specimen Of human
ity as ever walked. One day in the
early summer he was taking his usual
stroll round the village, keeping his
eye out for any student who might be
off duty, when he CHANGED to see Mr..
Page. a sturdy farmer OF East Hano-
yer, with a load OF wood, trudging
along the dusty street barefooted and
coatless.
Hello, Mr.. Pager growled the pro-
fessor I'D like to know if all the peo-
pie of East Hanover go barefoot?'
Part of 'em do, and the rest ON
'em mind their own business was the
reply.
The startling thing is the story Of a
little girl at Sunday school perpetrat-
ing the same joke half century later.

1t is q singular fact that three

Dollar Bills by Weight.

Dollar bills are worth almost their
weight in gold,' bank president said
the other day to depositor.
Yes, l suppose they come in handy
for change and are easy to carry" the
depositor replied absently.
NO; 1 was speaking literally" the
bank president said. "We got into an
argument in the bank here the other
day as to how much dollar bill weigh,
ed. A twenty-dollar gold piece weighs
$40 grains. We found that twenty
seven crisp, new one-dollar bills weigh
the same as a twenty dollar gold piece
We tested some bills that had been In
use and found that it took but twenty

development in the progress Of photog~
raphy. The picture itself shows some
nine colors, with the various shades
and tints absolutely true to nature. The
subject of the photograph, young

even the delicate grain of the oak is
faithfully reproduced. The young WON

and yellow straw hat, with various

Prof. Raymer is of the, opinion that
it will be some time before the process
will be so perfected as to permit OF
printing the photographs He states
that the principal difficulty in taking
fashlike color pictures is the large
amount Of fiashlight powder which
must be used The present pictures
themselves can never be transferred to

agitating the entire Photographic pro-

rently believed that the river was lost
under the rocks for several hundred
miles, and that any attempt to ride it's
surface meant certain death. There
were stories of great catracts, from
which the roaring music of the waters
could be heard on the SUBMITS Of dis
tant mountains, and there were ac-
counts of parties wandering on the
brink Of the canyon, vainly endeavoring
to reach the waters below and, finally
dying from thirst within sight and hear
ing of the river, which seemed to mock
their distress. The mysteries of the
canyon were woven into the mouths of
the religion Of the Indians.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is

two-thirds of it Is on the eastern and
the other third on the western side
The timber is in fairly good condition.
There was a bad fire two years ago
which ruined several hundred acres Of
fine forest, but there is little danger Of
it's recurrence because of the vigilance
of the superintendent and his corps of
foresters.

Often it happens when the victim is
about to greet an old acquaintance, or
when it is desirable to introduce two
men, each of whom he knows well.
Doctors do not clearly explain this
occasional defect in the mental powers,
but those who experience it know that
it occurs when they are especially
weary or overworked, and they may
therefore assume that it is a form of
brain fag and as readily accounted for
as a 1ameness of arms or legs. That

The death of Ida d. Sankey brings

the psalmist David, he was "a sweet
singer Of Israel" and his voice has
been heard by more thousands. prob

His songs are sung in nearly every
Protestant church in Christendom, and
they have been an inspiration in the
homes Of the people from frozen Nor
way to the islands OF the South Sea.
Mr.. Sankey's association with the late
Dwight L. Moody resulted in one Of the
most powerful evangelistic movements
Of modern times. These two men. SEEM
ingly inspired, travelled over the world
preaching the gospel of Christ; the SER
mons of the one and the songs of the
other were remarkable influences for
