Emerson was a notable sufferer from
the vagaries of memory. His biogra-
pher relates that he met him one day
In Boston apparently at a loss for
something and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. /

won't ask me her name" And then he
proceeded to describe her as ''the
mother OF the wife Of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so wei"
and so on, until his interloeutor guess
ed to whom he was referring. Even
the names Of common objects often
failed him completely, On one occa-
sion when he wanted an umbrella he
said: Il can't tell its name, but / can
tell its history. Strangers take It
away" This failing Of Emerson led to
pathetic scene when he attended
LongfelIow's funeral and remarked as
he gazed at the CONN, 'He was a
sweet and beautiful soul, but I have
entirely forgotten his name"

The Russian Joke Teller.

Story telling and TESTING have al.
ways been countsI the favorite amuse-
ments Of semibarbaric people. To the
FIRST we owe the Arabian Nights
and to the second the clowns, who
were formerly the appendage Of an
great houses. In Russia the paid
joker Etill nourishes, and the people
pay so much an hour to listen to his
jokes and witticisms He provides
himself with tive or three hundred
tickets, and, mounting a sort Of ros
trum, he announces that he II goinq
to regale his audience with choice It'd
bits Of mirth provoking lore. He be-
gins selling tickets at a penny each.
and when he has sold enough to war
rant his beginning he turns himself
loose, and the audience remains spell
bound BY his humorous stories for an
hour or two. A recent traveller who
saw a number Of these jokers IN St
Petersburg says. Il listened to them
several times. and. although could
not understand one word the Joker
said, was sure from the way the al.
dience greeted his stories with roars
Of laughter that the Jokes were above
