AIDING THE MEMORY. j
Harmonic Sywtem* Have Been lit Use
From Time Immemorial.
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.

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.' "—Boston Herald.
THE PORCUIPINE.
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

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are
the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed of fishes Is em
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
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.

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.—

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.
