her when a baby by her grandfather,
and which she valued as a relic.
One thing after another disap

cried Miss Glynn to herself, '"but,

I will be even with you yet.''
AU this time the man had kept up
a running fire of stuiiil talk, very
complimentary, interspersing it
now and then with apologies for
disturbing her rest
Having at last obtained and
crammed into his sack nearly every
thing but a four post bedstead and
the gram! piano, he smiled and sug

A weaker woman would have run

Oli sho got over the effects of her
adventure, though she never after

her alone at night, and she told me
that she always kept a loaded re

" One day in 1S67," says Mr. Ed
Johnson of the Boston Ideals, "I
was standing in front of the old Lo

a subperb-Iooking man who was
pacing up and down the walk, medi

were, on the length of minutes when
one is waiting for a delayed train.
Prtsently a big, broad-shouldered
moulder, who seemed to recognize
the supeib gentleman, shambled up
rear him and muttered something
which was evidently intended to of
fend him. The puperb gentleman,
however, paid no more attention to
it than to look rather sharply at the
moulder and pass on. Soon the
moulder repealed the performanae,
with about the same result, and tbe
lookers on began to wonder what it
all meant. By and by the moulder,
evidently taking the superb gentle
man's indifference to him for cow
ardice, stopped Fquarely before him
and said something which would

It was within three minutes of the
hour for the opening of the meeting
,'hen Brother Gardner received a
message to tbe effect that his wife
was in a fit. He left for home in a
manner neither too dignified nor too
hasty, and the meeting was called
to order by Sir Isaac Walpole, who
said :
" Whilst de President hez our sym

A communication from the Mayor
of Buffalo made inquiry if a person
calling himself Prof. C. A. Johnson,
philanthropist, professional astron
omer, lecturer, literary and educa
tional writer, editor, publisher and
philosopher, was a member of the
Lime-Kilu C'uh. The Professor re
cently delivered ft lecture in Buffalo,
in which he set forth tbe following
utterances :
I am acknowledged to be the
greatest scientific man of the age.
W ind is alwavs in motion, it has
a place where it is located when not
at work.
I don't care a snap of my finger
for other scientists' opinions. I am
an authority in myself.

confusion I came to their rescue.
I may be a modest man and I
may not, but I don't believe there ia
a man in the city of Buffalo that
knows aa much about science as I
do. If there had been, this subject
would have been explained long
ago. But it hag been left for me to
settle for ever the question of where
the wind comes from.

Waydown Beebe offered the follow

The resolution was unanimously
adopted, and the meeting then ad
journed. How to gtreogthea the Memory.
Dr. Holbrook. in his Februarv
number of the Hera.d of Health,
aavs there is one feature of the mem-
orv which has not before been con
sidered, and that at its exaltation in
Borne forms of disease.
An exaltation is where a multi
tude of recollections spring up in
voluntarily on every hand. It has
its cause in an increase of the circu
lation of the brain. It frequently
appears in acute diseases, especially
fevers. It ia common in maniacal
patients, and it sometimes appears
.. ft....... r .j :
u ibuio ui uvsicua- buu iu mc
early stages of brain disease.
The loss of memory in the ased is
a familiar example, and can ouly be
accounted for oy a deterioration of
the brain elements and adiminution
ot blood supplied to them. One of
the worst features of such cases is
the fact that an old person is net,
for a long lime after decay has be
gun, aware of it. I am now treating
a case of loss of memory in a per
son advanced in years, who did not
know that his memory had failed
moat remarkably till I told him of
it. He is making vigorous tffori to
bring it back again, and with partia1
success.
The method pursued is to spend
two hours daily, one in the morning
and one in the evening, in exercis
ing this facnlty. Tbe patient is in
structed to give the closest attention
to all that he learns, so that it shall
be impressed on the mind clearly.
He is asked to recall every evening
all the facts and experiences of the
day, and again the next morning.
Every name heard is written down
and impressed on his mind clearly,
and an effort made to recall it at in
tervals. Ten names from among
public men are ordered to be com
mitted to memory every week. A
verse of poetry is to be learned, also
a verse from the Bible, daily. He is
asked to remember the number of
the page in any book where any in
teresting fact is recorded. These
and other methods are slowly resus
citating a failing memory.
The aged should all look to this
danger in their lives, and resolve to
combat it from the very first. By
so doing they will make their de
clining years more enjoyable, ard
give much greater pleasure to their
friends. Unceasing self culture, es
pecially in preserving the memory
and intellectual (acuities, should
constitute a considerable part of the
life of every aged person, even more
than of the young. Only by it can
this period of life be rendered pleas
ant and profitable.
Tbe City of SDaagbal
Tbe conservatism of the Chinese
character and the extreraest point
of provincialism are instanced in the
story told of the residents within
the walls of their native city of
Shanghai. Tbe city has three gates,
the north, south, and west ones, and
many of the people living at the
south gate have never been as far as
the north gate and could not under
stand the dialect of the inhabitants
if they did go there. One nation
culd not differ more from another
than the Chinese from the Japanese
if they lived twenty thousand miles
apart instead of only two hundred
miles, and one is all wrong if he
thinks that having seen Japanese
cities he can know what a Chinese
one will be like. While the Japa
nese are the cleanest people on the
face of the earth, aud far ahead of
tbe Engiish for eternily bathing and
scrubbing themselves, the Chinese
are ine very ainiest. id trim, ex
quisite little toy house of the Japa
nese along wide streets are the great
est contrast to the filthy abodes of
the Chinese with their dirt rioors.
