PROOF POSITIVE.
II Wasn't So Positive, Though, Whom
Another Test Was Tried.

w.
Young Mrs. Sydney was a great
friend of DR.. Careful, and she did
not hesitate to call him up on the
telephone when she needed advice.
Doctor" she demanded one
morning, sis it safe for my Rachel
to play with the Crockett children
yet? None of them has ever had
whooping cough, and / wouldn't
have little Paul take it for the
world"
"How long has Rachel had it?"
asked the doctor.
Nearly seven weeks" said Mrs.
Sydney. "She doesn't whoop a par
ticle, but still"-
Proof positive that she's all over
it," broke in the doctor hastily. 81
should say it was all right to let her
play with the other children"
THANK you," chirped Mrs. Sgd
ney, but she hung up the receiver
with a meditative air and shook her
head when Rachel leased her to 20
over to the Crocketts'. NO, you
are to stay in your own yard this
morning. You can't play with
Marjorie until mother gives you
permission"
An hour or two later she went
again to the telephone. II wouldn't
have Baby Crockett catch whoop-
ing cough for anything" she said
to herself, and she called up Dr..
Careful again. ooh, DR.. Careful,
could YOU tell Mrs. Careful that
Rachel and will drop in for a few
minutes this afternoon? Rachel
is very anxious to show her big doll
to your Edith"
Every well,' responded the doc
tor, without any visible show Of
enthusiasm.
Thank you ever so much" said
Mrs. Sydney politely. "Ill wait a
few minutes before | let Rachel
out" she decided. Il shouldn't be
exactly surprised if the doctor
changed his mind"
Then her telephone rang. Mrs.
sydney" said a very polite voice,
perhaps it would be wiser to wait
until next Saturday before Edith
and Rachel have their little visit.
There's no doubt in my mind that
Rachel is all over it, still, it's al
ways wise to take precautions, and
Edith is so very susceptible that
perhaps
we'll make it next Saturday"
said Mrs. Sydney good naturally.
Then she turned to her small daugh-
ter.
"By next Saturday, dear, it will
be perfectly safe for you to play
with the Crocketts. Youths Com

HUMAN MEMORY.
A Theory That the Soul, Not the
Brain, 10 It's Abiding Place.


In the American Magazine H.. Ar
dington Bruce writes an article en-.
titled "The Souls Winning Fight
With Science" in which he shows
that science is no longer at war
with mans belief in the immortality
of the soul. In the curse of the
article appears the following inter
esting passage which tells of the
memory:
ut is one Of the fundamental
tenets of modern physiology that
every thought, every sensation, Is
accompanied by some change in the
substance of the brain, and not only
this. but that the brain stuff is con-
stantly passing away and being re-
placed in such fashion that it has
been estimated there is an entire
renovation on an average of every
seven years. How, then, nc matter
how much we strain the hypothesis
Of memory cells neural paths
and other material adjuncts to the
memory process, can the new brain
of the amnesic revive the memories
belonging to the brain of fourteen
years before?
For that matter, and quite apart
from the poser presented by am:
nesias Of this prolonged character,
the proved fact of brain stuff al
teration is warrantably stressed by
not a few animists as affording Of
itself sufficient evidence that the
something which remembers is a
something other than the brain.
The old man of seventy observes

doctrine-l had almost written dog

past of long, long ago stands up
ghostlike before him.
"'In what compartment Of his
present brain had these images lain
sleeping? In which hemisphere :
In both or neither? And how came
the images imprinted on the child
ish brain of ten to be passed on, in
innumerable transmissions, through
many successive brains, till they
reached their last edition on the
aged brain of seventy, or, rather, on
the new brain of the aged M Of
seventy?
"'Finally, and most important
question of all, where is that mex
plicable entity which consciously and
deliberately wills to resee, rehear
and refeel its memories of long ago?
"'Is it not the same entity-so
far as any entity in the universe can
be regarded as constant-that, with
a different brain, first saw, heard
and felt the actualities of which the
memories have been transmitted to
