He was engaged the other evening stuffing a trunk and dress suit. case with clothing and manuscripts: preparatory to starting immediately for a western city where he was to lecture before a convention of patholegists on that branch of therapeutics which had brought him fame. A number of his professional friends-who were to accompany him were in waiting. The luggage was well on its way. to the railway station, the doctor and his friends following, when his friends were surprised to see the doctor start suddenly as though he had suffered a cardiac shock and clasp his breast on the left . side. They threw their arms about him to support him and prevent him from falling, but the doctor waved them off and smiled, “Boys,” he exclaimed, “I’ve forgot to bring any money with me. It’s one on me. Come back to the office a minute, and we'll have a drop of that Scotch you all know so well.” The invitation was readily accepted by his fellows, who were hilarious at the joke on the man who was to devote one of his se=\ ries of lectures to “the loss of memory, {ts causes and remedy.” Seated in his study, he said: “Boys, we are a bit early for the train, and while we’re waiting I'll tell you of an embarrassing experience which happened me as a result of my treacherous memory on my last tour through the west. “Two of us started from New York, Dr. Blank, .a tall fellow, like myself, but a great deal more thoughtful of little things that make life’s pathway a bit smoother at times. He had arranged ‘everything, not forgetting even extra collar buttons. We had nearly reached Buffalo when remembered that’ all my clothing as well as my hoe manuscripts were at home in a trunk waiting for the expressman I had forgotten to send for. A few days before starting I managed to think to express duplicate copies of my addresses ahead to the city where I was to begin the course of lectures. “I telegraphed to New York to send on my clothing, but we were already nearly 15 hours ahead of the next express and had figured to arrive in town just in time to snatch a. mouthful of food and get to the lecture room. “My manuscripts had arrived all right, but there I was in a traveling costtime of linen; ‘covered with: ‘dust and not fit to be presented to an audience who were anticipating much, even in the way of dress, from a New York specialist. My linen was thoroughly soiled on the trip, and I didn’t have time to buy new shirts, collars or cuffs. Dr. Blank had brought several suits of clothes with him as well as a good supply of linen, so we overcame. this obstacle and thought little more about it. But linen and outside wearing apparel weren’t the only things I found I needed when-.I began to take advantage of Blank’s generous offer to clothe myself from skin to head covering. I only wore my own shoes be-. cause Blank’s were one sige smaller and a trifle narrower than mine. But other than furnishing me with footwear I wag clothed throughout in Blank’s wardrobe. It was not evening. dress, but a suit of the frock cut, which answered very. well, and I considered it-at Jeast semiappropriate for the occasion. “The lecture hall was but a-short way from the hotel, and I told Blank to go ahead and . would follow immediately, as we were now some minutes late. Blank obeyed and announced that 1, would soon be there, as I was then dressing. After dressing 1 discovered 1 was low in funds, very low, and of course, desiring to keep up the reputa-}* tion of the profession in the metropolis, I didn’t care to go among strangers without enough money to sustain this reputation in case of an emergency. “I searched through the pockéts of the clothing I had discarded and, writing a check for $100, rushed to the desk of the hotel to have it cashed. I passed it to the clerk with that request. 1 suppose.bhe mistook my haste for excitement and looked at me suspiciously as be read the signature on the check. I requested that he Would not delay me and showed him my name on the regismieure Wis Mei. for a moment and asked. ® . to the office, an’ meeting tie’ wits to delived tha h fandthat he:-wescontinesd 1 wast but I noted he still carried. again; Blank’s hat—with vith bl hae Tet panied by another person, who I afterWithout ceremony the: newcomer ied dressed me a polite language. “ «We've ag pn long time, and we've jet he said. ‘You're a forger. write your signatureor you'll have to a police station.’ “I protested, but to no avail, so at last.

He complied with this request,.and 1 sud: denly remembered that I alfo° had on Blank’s shirt and attempted to tell him of this fact, but it was no use. He didn’t stop at my shirt flap, but Investigated the straps of my underwear, where in ink indelible as nigtit was . ‘Smarked in big letters ‘J. H.

It was nearly 9 o'clock, and 1 was down for the first‘ address. I protested till I was tired as I for the second. time put-on Blank’s garments, which had: got me into such an embarrassing ‘predicament.

Remarkable Memories. “Memory,” said.old Fuller, the au thor of. the. ‘Worthies,” who himself possessed a wonderful power of remfniscence, “isthe storehouse of of the mind, wherein the treasures thereof are kept and rved.” It is unquestionably true t asa rule great writers have.had memories of more than ordinary tenacity and range. The faculty of reminiscence feeds the fires of the imagination and keeps lucid and orderly the sequence of philosophic thought. How much Milton, for example, profited by his prehensile gnd trustworthy memory is evident. Not only such poems as “Lycidas,’ but “Paradise Lost“ and “Paradise Regained,” are studded with translations or paraphrases. of exquisite extracts from the classic poets. We are told that Pascal never. forgot anything he had seen, heard or thought. Avicenna could repeat by rote the entire Koran when he was 10 years old, and Francis Suarez had the whole of St. Augustiie in his memory. In three weeks Scaligtr, the famous scholar, committed to memory every line of the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey.” Another scholar, Justus Lipsius, offered to repeat the “Histories” of Tacitus without a mistake on forfeit of hia life.

Again I demanded that he grant my request at once. “*How are we to know you are the ‘person whose signature is on this check?’ he asked. “I told him . didn’t know -how “he was to know it, but that.1 was a guest in the hotel. “ ‘Have you anything about you that will identify you? he inquired. “. have letters addressed to me,’ said 1, forgetting . bad on Blank’s clothes, and 1 thrust my hand“in the inside pocket and threw him a whole bundle without looking at them. “T saw the clerk read the name on the envelopes, look at me again and retire to another room.

In 1775 the bankers of London rented @ house in’ Lombard street’and fitted it “with tables and: desks for the use of ‘théir clerks as a place where . bills, ‘notes, drafts and other commercial paper might be exchanged without the q to all the metropolitan banks.

He foes not work between meals.—Philatelphia Reeord. Negro Superstition. Many of the negro superstitions in Kentucky are quite interesting. An old philosopher told me with great gravity: “If you want peppahs to grow, you must git mad. My old ’oman an me had a spat, an I went right out an planted my peppahs, an they come right up.” Still another saying Is that peppers to prosper must be planted by a redheaded or by a high tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanic majesty to “pack kindling’” on that day. The three signs in which negroes place implicit trust are the well known ones of the ground hog’s appearing above ground on the 2d of February, that a hoe must not be carried through a bouse or a death will follow and that’potatoes must be planted in the ‘dark ‘of the! moon as well as all vegetables that ripen in the ground and that corn must be planted in the light of the moon, __ Astounding I puapeveryFrom Ooopersyille, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a leasant taeting liquid that ‘when used rng retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough always ensures a good night’s rest. “It will soon cure the cough too,” writes Mrs. 8.

Remarkable Memories. “Memory,” said.old Fuller, the au thor of. the. ‘Worthies,” who himself possessed a wonderful power of remfniscence, “isthe storehouse of of the mind, wherein the treasures thereof are kept and rved.” It is unquestionably true t asa rule great writers have.had memories of more than ordinary tenacity and range. The faculty of reminiscence feeds the fires of the imagination and keeps lucid and orderly the sequence of philosophic thought. How much Milton, for example, profited by his prehensile gnd trustworthy memory is evident. Not only such poems as “Lycidas,’ but “Paradise Lost“ and “Paradise Regained,” are studded with translations or paraphrases. of exquisite extracts from the classic poets. We are told that Pascal never. forgot anything he had seen, heard or thought. Avicenna could repeat by rote the entire Koran when he was 10 years old, and Francis Suarez had the whole of St. Augustiie in his memory. In three weeks Scaligtr, the famous scholar, committed to memory every line of the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey.” Another scholar, Justus Lipsius, offered to repeat the “Histories” of Tacitus without a mistake on forfeit of hia life.

An old philosopher told me with great gravity: “If you want peppahs to grow, you must git mad. My old ’oman an me had a spat, an I went right out an planted my peppahs, an they come right up.” Still another saying Is that peppers to prosper must be planted by a redheaded or by a high tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanic majesty to “pack kindling’” on that day. The three signs in which negroes place implicit trust are the well known ones of the ground hog’s appearing above ground on the 2d of February, that a hoe must not be carried through a bouse or a death will follow and that’potatoes must be planted in the ‘dark ‘of the! moon as well as all vegetables that ripen in the ground and that corn must be planted in the light of the moon, __ Astounding I puapeveryFrom Ooopersyille, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a leasant taeting liquid that ‘when used rng retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough always ensures a good night’s rest. “It will soon cure the cough too,” writes Mrs. 8.
