VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY
Seine Who Possess Il Are Not Other.
wise Above the Ordinary Chill
dren Learn Readily.

While a strong memory is a great
convenience, it Is not necessarily an
advantage.
Cardinal Mezzossnti, whose memory
for words was so retentive that he
never forgot one after hearing 1t once,
and which enabled him to acquire
more than a hundred languages, was
In most respects a very ordinary per-
son. Pliny relates that Mithridates,
king of Pontus, had SO excellent
memory that he was able to speak
fluently % languages native to the
provinces of his vast empire. Yet he
was a cruel barbarian.
A well-known peripatetic elocution-
ist and reciter still living declares
that he can repeat, without further
preparation, about 5000 selections in
prose and poetry. He probably tells
the truth, since he has been training
his mind in this particular direction
for many years.
On the other hand, such men as Sir
Walter Scott, Macaulay. and Glad
stone were not only possessors Of ex-
cellent memories, they were also men
OF good Judgment.
Among human beings children have
the most remarkable memories. I'm
der favorable circum stances they will
learn three and even four languages,
SO as to be able to express their
thoughts with equal ease in any one
OF them by the time they are six or
seven years Of age.
And they accomplish this remark
able feat without any aid from the
mnemonic devices to which adults are
compelled to resort when they under
take similar task. They learn words
and phrases unconsciously, and rarely
forget them as long as they live. On
the other hand, grown-ups rarely &C
quire accurate pronunciation of for
eign language, although they may be
able to use it with entire correctness.
1t is common belief that the mem
ory is more tenacious in early life
than In later years. That seems to
depend almost entirely on the indi-
vidual.

DALMATIAN ANTS ARE COOKS
They Make Dough From Seeds, Form
Cakes and Bake Them In
the Sun.

The remarkable habits of the har-
vester ant have long been known to
naturalists. Certain species not only
harvest and store In granaries the
seeds upon which they feed but ac-
tually plant and cultivate an annual
crop of their food seeds.
But now still more wonderful
story is told of an ant which is com.
mon in Dalmatia, Messor barbarus
According to Professor Meyer of the
well known forestry school near Ores
den, this ant not only cuts leaves and
gathers seeds but actually makes
bread or biscuit.
The seeds are first sprouted, then
carried into the sun and dried, then
taken back to the underground cham.
bers, where they are chewed into {
dough. The dough Is then fnally
made into tiny cakes, which are baked
in the sun, then carefully stored for
future use.
From these observations 1t appears
that the art of cookery is not wholly
confined to the human race. All cook
ing is done by the sun, whether In the
ripening Of fruit or in the baking OF
bread In q stove. The heat obtained
from fuel is simply stored up sunlight
set free.
The Arab and the native Mexican
speak Of ripSfruit as fruit which has
been cooked in the sun. The ant has
somehow learned the art of sun cook
cry, the saliva with which 1t moistens
the grain probably taking the place OF
yeast and sweetening through changes

IS LITTLE OBJECTION
Hour of Closing the Delivery Win
dow May Also Be Changed from
Eight To Seven O'Clock
at Night.

Pursuant to a letter from the As
sistant Postmaster general, postmas-
ter Steiner has been interviewing the
business men Of the city regarding
closing of the carrier windows OF
the post Office on Sundays. Mr.
Steiner stated that nine-tenths OF
these spoken to about it favored the
Sunday closing. If the general feel
ing is the same all over the order OF
the Department will go into effect
next Sunday.
Tt will be understood that the or
der does not mean the absolute clos
ing of the postoffice on Sundays
The general delivery window will be
open as usual to accommodate the
travelling public and local customers
but the carriers windows will be
closed, thus giving them Sunday as a
rest day. The remainder of the
force will have the same hours they
have had, taking turns off. Mail
will be distributed to the boxes the
same as before so that those who
have boxes may get their mail on
Sunday if they wish.
Another change which Mr.. Steiner
is anxious to bring about is the clos
ing of the general delivery window at
seven o'clock in the evening instead
of at eight as now. He says that
elsewhere the delivery window is
closed at six, but that here we have
been in the habit of holding it open
until eight. This makes twelve hours
day service for the clerks and
sometimes more. Mr.. Steiner wants
to shorten these hours to ten II
possible; as he thinks that is long
enough for a man to work.

same Is true Of races. Those who
suffer most become the strongest be-

hardships. The rosy path in life is
not conducive to the development of
latent power and the thorny path of
prejudice has done more to stimulate
Negro effort than anything else.

INNOCENT OF THE EDMONTON
cRlME-coNFESSED SHE
GAGGED HERSELF.

Edmonton, April 13.-Fifteen-year-
old Hazel Huff, who figured in the
negro assault case here last week,
has confessed to the police that she
bound and gagged herself to hide the
loss of her ring and money. Wild
excitement reigned here last Tuesday
night, when neighbors found her in
the kitchen of her home on Sixth
street supposedly bound, gagged and
chloroformed. She told story OF as
sault committed by black, burly
negro. The police arrested colored
man, named J. F. Wiltsue, but allow
ed him to go, as there was no case
against him.
Upon investigation it was learned
that nothing was stolen from the
house, that there were no bruises or
injuries on the girl from the alleged
assault, but that she had lost ring
and some money, which loss she fear
ed would bring reprimand and rebuke
from her parents. She thought out
the scheme of binding her hands and
slipping a handkerchief around her
mouth, but made the error of tying
an eye bandage over her forehead in
stead of her eyes. This fact aroused
the suspicion of the police, and when
openly charged with doing the deed
herself she confessed.-The Leth-
bridge Daily Herald.
This happened in Canada, where
blacks and whites are settling from
the Southland, and it shows that the
whites have not forgotten or forsaken
their native customs, are are infus-
ing among the Canadians, spirit OF
race hatred and prejudice.
This girl (evidently Southerner)
knew that in the South, to accuse
big, bury, Negro of crime, was evil
dence of his guilt, or If a native, she
had heard of, or. read the stories Of
lynching, and had become familiar
with Southern conditions. Although

was arrested. He was released-not
riddled with bullets.
There was no case against him,
simply because a white woman &C
cused him. Upon investigation 1t was
found that this, scion of the despised
element of a superior race, had
maliciously lied. Such lies told In the
Southland, have caused the wholesale
butchery of innocent families by
those hot-headed hell hounds, who
never investigate, assuming that the
Negro has no rights that they should
respect - who administer Southern
justice with ropes and fire-brands,
and they are protected under the
Constitution of the United States, of
which it has been truly said, that II
Is IAN intercourse with hell and a
colleague of the devil" We are glad
to reproduce above article. The Can
adam journals will state the facts
and when such happenings are given
wide publicity, conditions will be bet
ter for Negroes, public opinion will
be changed, and the greater part Of
those who are now against us will be
for us-realizing that as a race we are
more "sinned against than SHINING.
