HAD A GREAT MEMORY
REMARKABLE GIFT OF A PREs5Y-
TERRAIN MINISTER.
Became a Living Concordance TO the
Bible and Could Give Chapter
and Verso for Any Passage
Reclted to Him.

OF the many examples of prodigious
memories which have recorded from
time to time none. perhaps, have been
SO remarkable as the case of. Rev.
Thomas Threlkeld, who was a Presby-
terrain minister at Rochdale for twen-l
ty-eight years, and died there in April,
1906. at the age of 81. Threlkeld's
memory first attracted attention when,
he attended the grammar school at
Daventry, where he began to make q
close study Of the Bible. When pas
sage was recited to him he could i'm
mediately give 1t, chapter and verse
and, on the other hand, If chapter
and verse were given he could at once
repeat the passage.
Both at Daventry and Warrington,
where he went to finish his education,
his fellow students delighted in put
ting his memory to the test, and new
or once was 1t known to be at fault.
'In later years." says Mr.. Frank
Hird, In Lancashire Stories" "Threl-
keld was looked upon as living con-
cordance to the Bible in Rochdale and
the neighborhood, and he was con-
stantly asked the most puzzling ques-
tions by his brother ministers, some
times actually for information, but
generally for mere amusement. He
was never known to be wrong"
Threlkelds powers Of memory. how
ever, were not solely concerned with
theology. He was also linguist. and
knew nine or ten languages, while
dates were a passion with him, no
matter how unimportant. His knowl-
edge of historical dates. of chronology,
heraldry and genealogy was cyclapae-
die, and one of his fayorite amuse-
ments was to go through the success
sion in the Episcopal Sees and trace
the pedigrees of families.
"In only one direction" continues
Mr.. Hird, would this wonderful mem
DRY seem to have been of direct serv-
ice. Threlkeld was one Of the man
ayers of a fund for the benefit of the
widows of Presbyterian ministers, and
consequently was frequently appealed
to on circumstances connected with
the lives of dead ministers, and such
was the opinion of his memory that IL
the books had been consulted and had
been reported differently the error
would have been imputed to the sec
rotary and not to Mr.. Threlkeld's
memory This vas deemed infallible.

OF all "aptitudes." the mechanical
is least likely to manifest itself in a
feminine brain. The young woman
whose visit to locomotive works Is
described in. Young's Magazine was
doubtless interested in what she saw.
but her account of the processes OBJ
served leaves the reader to doubt her
entire understanding of them.
"You pour" she told friend, "a lot
of sand into lot of boxes and you
throw old stove lids and things into a
furnace and then you turn the red hot
steam into hole in the sand and
everybody yells and shouts.
Then you pour 1t out. let 1t cool
and pound 1t, and then you put in it
thing that bores holes in it, Then
you screw 1t together and paint 1t and
put steam In 1t and 1t goes splendidly
and they take it to drafting-room
and make blue print of It.

pound frightfully and then they tie II

Temper and Good Looks.

Thoughtfulness for others and I'M
selfishness are great beautifiers, for
all perfection of skin and feature will
not make up for an unlovely express
sion due to hard heart.
Every girl is not possessed of an
amiable temper or a pretty face, but
every girl may try to improve both
her temper and her face. She may
not be able to alter the shape of her
nose or the color of her eyes, but If
she cultivates an interest in those
about her, if she tries to make the
world happier for those with whom
she is brought into association, she
can scarcely fail before long to win
a pleasing, expression Of countenance
that will cause physical defects to be
forgotten. And, after all, there Is
some satisfaction to be got out Of
working on ones disposition and culti-
waiting the higher self.

Calamities! If any state In the
Union had had an earthquake or fire
causing loss Of from $20,000,0n0 to
$40, 100000 we should have stood
aghast But the recent extraordinary
cold snap In the citrus fruit belt of
California Is reported to have ruined
almost four-fifths of the orange and
lemon crops. The estimated damage
is put by some as high as $4,000, 900,
of which between $5.000,000 and 49,
100000 will be loss to railroads In
curtailed freight receipts. Nature ex-
erts its destructive forces in many
ways, sometimes with the violence of
an earthquake, and at others with the
silent, sweeping, Icy hand Of the Frost
King. California has suffered in re-
cent years from both visitations. But
its wonderful natural advantages, its
wealth of resources, and, above all,
its self-reliant people. may always be
depended upon to lift Il above every
