Queer Aids to Memory.
From the Strand Magazine.


Many and varied are the methods 10
which busy men have recourse in order
to keep their memory peeled Very
simple Is the mnemonical system Of a we'll
known journalist. who merely ties small
piece of ribbon round his walking stick.
Many a benedict has a penchant for tying
his handkerchief into a series of knots
to remind him Of the numerous little do
nestle duties he has faithfully promised
to perform during the day.
A very successful plan is that of a
shrewd business man, who has recourse
to the use of pepper or snuff to jog his
memory A liberal dose spread over ms
handkerchief greets his olfactory nerves
whenever he extracts it from his pocket
and, as he himself says, that reminds
me-.
Very effective is the method adopted by
some astute people who place their finger
rings on their key ring. BY this means
they are not only reminded of something
by the absence of their rings from their
hands. but every time they use their
keys the fact is forced upon their atten-
ton. There is one old government clerk
who Is an amusement to all the juniors.
When he has any matter of urgent i'm
portance to attend to in the morning, he
invariably ties two of his fingers together
with small piece of red tape.

The Family.

Frop PUCK.
Reduced to its essential elements a fam
lily camilla Americana) consists Of
1. A cook.
2. A woman for the cook to browbeat
3. A man to break his back providing
a place where the cook will deign to feel
at home.
Responsibility, with characteristic stu
pidity, insists that the man and woman
shall be married. This wouldn't matter
so much. however. only for the danger
born to get in the cooks way and throw
the whole establishment into disorder.
Occasionally the man and woman will
board, cravenly seeking to dispense with
the cook. but they are in no real sense
family.
OF course there may be servants, it fire.
quently happening that the cook prefers
not to work.
