who wander from one place to anoth-

able and can get employment In win

comes on they depart by passing
freight trains for Colorado or Cali

without benef1ting themselves, spread

RARE CASE OF LOST MEMORY
Physicians Making Investigation Of
Man Afflicted With "AIexia" in
Pronounced Form.

DR.. s. P. Goodhart, writing in the
New York Medical Journal. reports on
a rare case of alexia, which is a form
of aphasia, in which the patient could
not remember what he had Just writ
ten The man, who was born in this
country, couldn't remember the name
of the president of the United States
or the mayor of New York
Doctor Goodhart and DR.. H. Gil
menko, who reported on the case with
him, told how the patient could not
call bell by name when it was shown
to him, but could name it when it was
sounded Other objects he could not
recognize by sight he could name if
allowed to handle them.
He wrote letters correctly from die
tation, but couldn't read them later
Besides memory confusion the man
suffered from a certain degree of
psychic blindness
There was loss of memory for
words, proper names and dates, purely
as names, however. for he would often
recollect the name by a roundabout
process of reasoning, as. for instance.
when asked on December 81 what
holiday occurred on the following day
he said. Tt amt no regular city hoii-
day, it's the last day of the year. New

This aIexia is ascribed by the doc

as the angular cyrus, where the visual
memory center is probably situated

To Keep Bread During Hot weather.

more quickly than bread. Tin is far
better storage for bread than stone
ware during the hot months. Get tin
bread box with tight-fitting cover,
and place inside of it as lining a piece
of crash toweling, fitting it all around
the sides and bottom, and letting it
hang over outside. The moisture will
be absorbed by the toweling, and it can
be changed and washed out, drying in
the hot sunshine, and mildew and sour
ness will be unknown The crash towel
ing should be cut in lengths to fit the
box, and hemmed, using it for no other
purpose. It will last for years. There
should be two pieces-one for the side
and one for the bottom-and these
should be summed and dried as often as
they get damp, and put into the laundry
every week, if not oftener. Once a
week the box should be well washed
with strong solution of borax, the top
turned back and the box set in the sun
until perfectly dry and sweet. Cake
should not be kept in the same box
with bread, as the bread absorbs the
sweetness and the cake is tasteless.-

Delicious wild strawberr,

Speaking of the beautiful-fowered
toothsome-fruited wild strawberry,
Izaak Walton. the patient fisherman, is
said to have declared: Doubtless
God could have made a better berry.
but doubtless he never did, And
those who have tasted the wild straw
berry will agree that cultivation has
added nothing to its flavor, however
1t may have increased the size. The
duke of Gloucester, who became Rich
ard II, had a weakness for the wild
strawberry, 1t is said that in 1888 as
certain great lords were sitting in
council arranging for his coronation,
the duke came in and, "saIuting cour-
teouslie, said to the bishop OF Ely:
My lord, you have verie good straw
berries in your garden at Holbonne;
require you to let me have a mess
of them"

Strassburg cathedral is a Christian

endless complexity of forms.

Strassburg differs from other Ger

greater width in proportion to its

lamentable results give grounds for

Coal Tar Once Thought Waste.

About century ago coal tar was
considered almost a waste product,
and no one had thought it worth while
to experiment with it. At that time
gas was being introduced as a new
light and Frederick Accum, who wrote
one of the first books on gas lighting,
suggested the boiling of the tar in a
still and the condensation and collec-
ton of the volatile products. The ex-
pertinent was made and the process
yielded two oils. One was heavy and
the other light. 1t was soon found that
the heavy could be satisfactorily used
as preservative for wood that had TO
be fixed underground or submerged in
water and was used extensively in pre-
serving piers and wharfs.
