Your memory is bad, perhaps ;
but I can tell you two secrets that
can euro tho worst memory. Duo
is to read a subject iu which yon aro
strongly interested. Tlio other is,
to not only real but think. When
you have read a paragraph or a page
and not only recall limiu vaguely in
your mind, but put thcin int i words
and speak them out. Faithfully fol
low theso two rules nn l you have
tho golden keys of kno.vlodgo. Ho
sides inattentive reading, thero aro
othor things injurious t i tho mem
ory. Ono is the habit of skimming
ovor newspapers, items of news,
smart remarks, bits of information,
political reflections, fashion notes,
all iu confused jumble, uover to bo
thought of again, thus diligontly
cultivating a habit of careless rea
ding, bard to break. Another is tho
reading of trashy novels. Nothing
is so fatal to reading with profit as
tho habit of running through story
after story, and forgetting than, as
soon as read. 1 know a gray haired
woman, a life-long lover of books,
who sadly declares that her mind
has deen ruined by such roading.
A help to moiuory is repetition.
Nothing is so certain to keep your
Fronch fresh and roady for use, as
to have on hand an interesting story
in that language, to take up ton
minutes every day. In that caso.
you will not forget "your French"

mates. Olirei Thotnf

KisiNii tiir Wor,t,i. Kxperience
continually contradicts tho notions
that a poor man cannot rise. If wo
look over tho lit of rich mnn wo find
that nearly nil of them began life
worth littlo or nothing. To any
person fauiiliar with tho millionaires
of tho I'nited StateM, a score of e:c
amplus will oeonr. On tlio other
hand, tho sons of rich m-in, w!i )
began life with tho capital which no
very m iiiy poor, young men eagerly
covet, frequently dio beggars. It
would probably not be going loo far
to say, that a largo majority of such
moneyed individuals cither fail out
right or gradually cat up tho capital
witli which they comiiu'tice.l their
career.
And tho reason is plain. P.rongM
up in cvponsivo habits, they spend
entirely too much. K l i,1 ate t with
high notions of personal inp ortanee
they will not. as they phrase it,
stoop to hard work. Is it iistouis!i
ing. tlier. fire, that they nro passed
i:i tho race of life by other with less
eipitiil oi igiu.illy, but moru eiitu gy,

OnB CllUTKITli TllAMP. A few
days ago, says tho Cambria ,'rai,
our venerable friend, Mr. PauielJ,
Jones, who resides about a milo north
of this place, received by mail two
passes to tho Centennial, nnd a note
stating that the writer would bo hap
py to have biiu and wife coma down
to Philadelphia, that ho desired to
soo them and would bo at tho station
thero with his own carriage to re
ceive them. Of course, this was
quiet a stirpriso to Mr. J., who was
an entire stranger to tho writer of
tlu note, but on roading further ho
found that tho generous stranger
was uo other then a person who,
somo twonty yoars ago waa travel
ing through this part of tho country,
and ouo evening camo to bis farm
house, asking hospitality for the
night, stating that be bad uo monoy.
Mr. and Mrs, J , who woro noted for
their generosity, took tho stranger
in and cared for him kindly, never
draamiug that in years after ho
would kindly invito them to share
his hospitality in tbo city of Phila
delphia, where he now resides and
enjoys wealth and aftluonco.
A minister having walked through
a village churchyard, aud observed
tho indiscriminate praises bestowod
upon tbodoad, wrote on tha post the
following line t "Hero be tho dead,
