MEMORY MUST BE TRAINED
Recollection Of Events Said to Be Al
ways Strongest When Notes Are
Not Kept.

Lord Beaconsheld's recipe for good
memory was simple-Neyer take q
note. That is a somewhat doubtful
rule; 1t has to be balanced by the
truth in Jowett's warning, "A man
should make compact with his mem
DRY not to remember everything. Great
memories, like that of Sir William
Hamilton, are apt to disable judg-
ment." But there is no doubt that
sheer memory fiourishes best where
notemaking is impossible. AS an In
stance, Mr.. Dudley Kidd tells how he
saw q council OF Kaffir chiefs discuss
ing a legal case. A precedent of so
or 10 years ago came up, and the old
men, who had been children at that
time, reconstructed 1t to the minutest
detail, even to the exact colors of the
various cattle concerned. with perfect
unanimity.

Up to 1851 this dissertation must
have been going on for we find that
the fire which destroyed the spire in

and 1t has been useful until the other

evidences that the animals ignition

there was no trace of carbonization

the breath came hard between her

Jim nodded miserably, and they sat
down side by side upon the lounge
and looked at each other mutely. For
months they had felt the blow COM

Mercury for five years. He had mar
ried on his small savings and invested
in home. Happily they had paid for
their furniture and had about three
hundred dollars remaining. But there
was a baby coming, and the catas-
trophe seemed stunning. There would
be no chance Of further employment
during the summer months-and this
was May.
Presently Lucy rose and began to
prepare the evening meal They ate
silently, and afterward Jim helped her
with the dishes, as was his custom
Then Lucy came and sat down beside
him and put her arms round him.
Let's be farmers, JIM" she said.
She knew that her husband, like all
city men, looked forward longingly to
the day when he could retire to a
country property. And she shuddered
at her own memories of farming life.
But for Jim's sake she would tread
that road again.

TAKE NOTE OF HEART BEATS
When That Organ Says "Luff-Duff' 1t
10 Full Time to Take .
Vacation

Do you know what q doctor hears
when he sounds your chest and listens
to your heart beating?
Your heart. If it Is quite sound,
makes noise very like '1ub-dup, lub-
dup. lub-dup' all the time, Pearson's
Weekly says The two sylylables come
very quickly together and between
each "lub-dup" there comes a pause.
the short period when the heart Is
resting, as 1t were.
The "lub" sound is due to the blood
flowing out of the heart and the dup"
is the closing of the hearts valves
Just by the loudness of these two sylla-
bles the doctor knows If your heart is
working as it should be.
Surprising the dup is very loud,
for instance; that tells him that the
valves are being slammed to-" just
as door is. and that the pressure is
greater than 1t should be. The cause
of this is generally what is known as
an "aneurism.'
If the valves are not closing prop
erly the doctor hears a sound like
duff" instead Of dup" The heart is
then said to have a "murmur," and
the physician knows what steps to
take to correct it.
When the first sound, Tub" is soft
ened into huff" it warns the doctor
that his patient has something wrong
with the mitral valve The hub" sound
is always very much weaker when
one is suffering from fever, and it is
this weakness, due to the weakness of
the heart muscles which makes the
doctor SO anxious ut those times.
When the heart says ''luff-duff" he
tells you to knock of work for time
and have complete rest, for your
heart Is In a bad way.

THINKS FREE TOLLS WRONG
Francis Dean Finds Two Reasons
Why They Should Not Be Adopted.

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A great deal has been written
about the Panama tolls and the propriety
OF exemptng American vessels but near
w all | have read Is in relation 10 the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. There are al
least two other reasons why 1t might DE
argued that American ships should not
be free from tolls. One Is on the seherai
principle OF International law that such
canal is an international waterway, ana
as such all nations should fare alike.
Professor John Bassett Moore probably
our greatest authority on international
law. said long before the canal Dill was
passed that in case American ships were
passed free when the canal was hnished
all nations affected would certainly pro-
test most strongly. and doubtless o'hers
now merely await the solution OF the
question pending with Great Britain.
There seems TO me TO be an entirely 40
nestle and practical objection also 10 the
free passage OF American vessels. Ameri-
can shin owners did not build the canal
The American nation did. and while the
existence OF the canal will be OF tremen-
dous advantage TO the ship owners the
nation as a whole is entitled to the great
or advantage. and II seems unjust that
one class Of persons should reap double
benefit at the expense of the whole people
