The art of rendering artificial aid to i 1 the memory by associating in the mind j I things dilUcult to remember with tliosa j | which are easy oi' recollection is salJ to have originated with tlu Egyptlaus. The first person to reduce it ton system was, according to Cicero, the poot Sl monides, who 11 \ed SCO B. C. 11l s plan is knowu as the topical or locality plan and was In substance as follows: Choose a large house witli a number of differently furnished apartments in it.i Impress upon the mind carefully all j I that Is noticeable in the house so that the mind can readily go over the parts. . I Then place a series of ideas In the ! house—the first in the hall, the next iu | the sitting room, and so on with the i rest. Now, when one wishes to recall j | these Ideas In their proper succession, commeuce going through the house, and I the Idea placed In each department will I be found to readily recur to the mind In connection with it. It is related that this mnemonic plan was first suggested to the poet by a tragic occurrence. Having been called from a banquet just before the roof of the house fell and crushed all the rest of the company, he found ou returning that the bodies were so mutilated that no individual could be recognized, but by remembering the places which they had severally occupied at the table ho was able to identify them. lie was thus led to notice that the order of places may by association suggest the order of things. THE BELTED PLAID. fills War* the Original Drean of the ScottlKli Highlander. The original dress of the highlander was the belted plaid. Tills was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad and four long, which was drawn around the waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a belt. Tho lower part came down to the knees in much the same mauncr as the modern kilt, while the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly free. This upper part was the plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders and body in wet weather, and when the use of both arms was required it was fastened across the breast with a brooch, often curiously enriched. A brooch was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To attire himself In the belt ed plaid required on tlio part of the highlander no small amount of dexteri ty. The usual way was to lay It on tiie floor and after carefully arranging the folds to lie down upon it and then buckle It on. The lower end was fas tened at the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands Is ob vious, for the plaid rendered the man indifferent to storms and prepared to pass a night iu the open air in the most inclement weather, while tlio loose undergarment enabled Idm to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal case. It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior, the hunter and the shepherd.—London Mall. JUST EIGHT YEARS APART. Odd Fact ReKurdliiff the ARCH of Five SncccKnlve Presidents. John Adams was eight years older than his successor, Jefferson; Jeffer son was eight years older than his suc cessor, Madison; Madison was eight years older than his successor, Mon roe, and Monroe was eight years older than his successor, John Quiucy Adams. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madi son and Monroe ended their terms each In the sixty-sixth year of his ago. John Adams, Jefferson and Monroe ended their days on the Fourth of July, the two former dying within a few hours of each other. Just half a century after the Declaration of In dependence. John Adams lived to be ninety years and eight months old, while Ga Ml old died at tlio middle age of forty-niue years and ten mouths. Jefferson, Madison and John Quincy Adams lived to bo octogenarians; Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore and Buchanan got well into the sev enties, and Washington, William Hen ry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Johnson and Grant only reached Into the six ties. Polk died at the age of fifty three years and Lincoln and Arthur at fifty-six.—Washington Post. CHANGING THE SUBJECT. What Lincoln Said When ltarvcy Glided u Two Hours' Talk. The late Hon. Charles W. Slack told the following of the Hon. Peter Har vey, the friend and biographer of Dan iel Webster: •Mr. Harvey was a large man with a small voice and that pomposity of man ner that many very diffident men pos sess. Above everything he valued and prided himself upon his friendship with the "great expounder." The first year of the War of tho Re bellion lie went to Washington, and on his return waa asked how he liked President Lincoln. "Well," he said, "Mr. Lincoln is a very singular man. I went onto sec him, and told him that I had been an Intimate personal friend of Daniel Webster; that I had talked with him so much on the affairs of the country that I felt perfectly confident I could tell him exactly what Mr. Webster would advise in the present crisis, and thereupon I talked to Lincoln for two solid hours, telling b!m just what he should do and what he should not do. and, will you believe it, sir, when I got through all Mr. Lincoln said was, as he clapped his baud on my leg, 'Mr. Har vey, what a tremendous great calf you have got.'

I. 111. l.lklnK For Salt an Acquired or n Natural Tn.teT Rome moil who wore campinff in the Adlroiiducks several years ago on breaking camp In the autumn left an old tub which was saturated with salt brine. On returning to the same camp the next year they found that : the tub had been gnawed until little of i It was left. They were not long In find- I lng out what animal had done the work, for the camp was overrun with Canadian porcupines. At night they became such a nuisance that tho camp ers were obliged to kill them to protect their property. The handle of a paddle was gnawed half through. The explanation of their presence In such numbers during that year, when they had not been noticeably abundant In the previous year, Is that they had j made a rendezvous of the camp, being i attracted by the old brine tub. On j this they feasted all winter and for | that reason were greatly pleased with | the locality. ■ An interesting query Is this: Is the liking for salt an acquired or a natural I taste? Were they ever able to gratify ' that taste to any extent before man i gave thorn a chance to do so?—St. Nich olas. i Repairing for ThanksH giving Day-We can Help You Out.

It is not possible, as with birds, to set up tall poles at intervals of a quarter of a mile and, with the help of stop watches, time them as they go by. Nevertheless investigation of the sub ject goes to show that the mackerel, if not the champion racer of the briny deep, comes pretty near to carrying off the honors. Unquestionably it travels I sometimes as fast as an express train | at high speed—say, at the rate of sixty or possibly seventy miles au hour. : Other things being equal, the larger ■ the fish the faster it swims, just as the ' huge steamship is able to travel at a speed much greater than the little har bor tug. Undoubtedly the energy em ployed by a fish of great size, such as a thirty foot shark when traveling at its best gait, is something tremendous. An ordinary tug, which represents a maximum of -energy in a minimum of bulk, utilizes about 200 horsepower, j Of course it is only a guess, but it would not seem to bo over the mark to suppose that a seventy foot whale makes use of 500 horsepower when it propels its huge bulk through the wa ! ter at a rate of thirty miles an hour. A whale, which is a mammal and not a fish, might be compared to a freight train if the shark Is a cannon ball ex press, but it can beat the fastest ocean greyhound iu a speed contest. If there is a fish that can travel fast er than a shark it must be the tarpon, which can probably "hit her up" to the tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed for time. Generally speaking, it may be said that finny creatures which live near the surface of the sea are swift swimmers, as compared with those that dwell In the depths. Thus the cod, which is a deep water species, is sluggish and would stand no show at all In a race with the mackerel or herring. These latter, which are dis tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv ing upon their activity in pursuing agile prey, and they must bo quick In their movements in order to escape their own enemies. If the mackerel were as big as a good sized shark it would probably be the speed champion of the ocean. No fish Is better shaped for rapid going. Some years ago a yacht builder in New York constructed a sloop with a hull patterned exactly after tho underbody of a Spanish mackerel. She was called the Undine, and, if tradition does not lie, she never was beaten. Like the fish after which she was modeled, she had her greatest breadth of beam for ward of amidships—a decidedly novel idea In boat building. One may say, Indeed, that all modern water craft are more or less fishlike In their make up; yet, on the whole. It is surprising that marine architects have not striven more earnestly than they have done to obtain hints from nature's own Il lustrations of aquatic speed making principles.—Saturday Evening Post. Why lie Dinllked the Man. I once heard of a man who, discuss ing a name on the visiting list,«sald to his wife, "You know perfectly well that I don't like that man." "Don't you think you are a little unreason able?" asked the wife. "Your dislike arose because he did not answer a letter you wrote him, and you found afterward that the letter was hung up all summer In the pocket of your over coat and was never sent to him at all." "Yes, I know that," was the rejoinder, "but it was so long before I found it out that I couldn't overlook his rude ness, and I never forgave him, and I don't believe I ever shall." There is a good deal of ill feeling in this world that is without any firmer foundation. —Printers' Ink. Women'* Tempera. I recently saw it stated somewhero that "women are much better tem pered than men." This, of course. Is a self evident proposition—up to a cer tain point. Women, as a rule, arc al together more self possessed and have a greater control over themselves than men, who want everything their own way, resent all trouble, cannot endure the smallest discomfort and are rarely unselfish. But in justice to men It must be said that, generally speaking, they have very much more to try their nerves.— London World. An Ancient Steam Man. There are a host of authorities on hydraulics and mechanics that could be quoted to support the assertion that the steam engine is not a modern in vention. Carpini in the account of his j travels, A. D. 1280, describes a species I of aeophile, or steam, engine made In I the form of a man. This contrivance | was filled with "inflammable liquid" ' (probably petroleum) and made to do terrible work in the battles between the Mongolß and the troops of Prester John. Selling Out...
