MEMORY'S PRANKS. «Thr Do We Kriuriiihrr OrtAla Xhluu* HUII Kwritel Othrrat T%e vagaries of memory ore some of the most Interesting of those connected with the human mind and body. Why do we forget certain things and re member others? Myriads of these ir regularities are as yet unaccounted for. Perhaps not even the cleverest metaphysician will ever account for them. Professor James reminds us how something which we have tried in vain to recall will Afterward, when we have given up the attempt, "saunter into the mind," as Emerson says, as Inno cently as If it had never l>een sum moned. Again, bygone experiences will revive after years of oblivion, often as the result of some cerebral disease or acci dent Such a case Is the one quoted by Coleridge of a young woman In Ger many who could neither read nor write, but who was said to be possessed of a devil because, In a fever, she was heard raving in Latin, Greek and in an ob scure rabbinical dialect of Hebrew. Whole pages of her talk were written down aud were found to consist of sentences Intelligible In themselves, but not having the slightest connection with one another. To say that she was possessed of a devil was the easiest way of accounting for the matter. At last the mystery was cleared up by a physician, who traced back the girl's history until he learned that at the age of nine she was taken to live at the house of an old pastor, a great Hebrew scholar, and that she remain ed there until the pastor's death. It had been for years the old man's cus tom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen ami read to himself ID a loud voice. His books were examined, and among them many of the passages taken down at the young woman's bedside were Identified. The theory of demoniacal possession was abandoned. Youth's Companion. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Mix stove blacking with a little am monia to prevent it burning off. A teakettle should never be allowed to stand on the side of the Are with a small quantity of water in It. A rose potpourri is made by packing fresh rose petals In salt, a layer of the petals, then a layer of salt, and keep ing them covered for six months. A convenient substitute for a cork screw when the latter Is not at hand may be found in the use of a common screw with an attached string to pull the cork. For Ink stains on furniture add six drops of niter to a teaspoonful of water and apply It to the stain with a feath er. If the stain does not yield to the first application, make It stronger and repeat the process. Stains on silverware require prompt attention, otherwise It will take a long time to remove them. Sulphuric acid will remove the stain left by medicine. Dip the spoon In the acid, repeating the process until the stain has dlsap |K*ared; then wash In very hot water. Dilution Trm. Few housekeepers remember, as they should, that when It Is necessary to dilute strong tea It should be done with water at the boiling point. The poor flavor of tea. made strong at first and then reduced, such as Is too often serv ed at receptions and "at homes," 1» usually caused by the addition of hot, not boiling, water to the first infusion. A lesßon in this matter may be had from the Russians, who serve the most delicious tea In the world, and who pre pare It first very strong, making it al most an essence of tea. This Is diluted to the strength wished, with water kept boiling in the samovar. This water is not allowed to boll and reboll, but Is renewed as needed. Freshly boiled water Is Insisted upon by all connoisseurs In tea making. CflllßKi and Ventilation. Kooms with low ceilings or with ceil ings even with the window tops are susceptible of more perfect ventilation than those with high ceilings. In such rooms the leakage at the windows, which Is constantly going on, keeps the air in motion throughout the room, whereas If the celling Is higher only the lower part of the air Is moved, and an inverted lake of foul and hot air is left floating in the space above the window tops. This lake, under the law of dif fusion of gases. keeps actively at work, fouling the fresh currents circulating beneath It. LoairTltr of Irish Peasants. It Is curious to notice the great uum ber of centenarians whose deaths are recorded in the official returns of Irish rural districts As an Instance of the longevity of the Irish peasant It may be poiuted out that the death of per sons upward of sixty years of age reg istered in Coniiaught last year amount ed to over 50 per cent of the entire deaths of the province.

The pilgrim whoseeks Acadian shrines weuds his »vny to the historic spot, Grand Pre , «vh<-re standing on the chores of the basin of Minas he reads with re newed interest the poem of Evangeline. Professor Bible recited many extracts from the poem, particularly those poi tious bearing upon the historic part. He spoke of how this fragment of a nation lighting against leaiful odds *till treasured the fond hope of again under French rule—their love for the > King and mother country. Dr. Bible's itilk together with the touching extracts of the famous poem so tflectively ren lered awoke a new and lively interes in the subject of historical literature. I)r. Welsh spoke on the '"Hints an> Helps to Teachers." The "hints" wen most valua >le in their way, showm* how many annoy ng evils of the school ooin such as tardiness, lack of intere and poor attendance, might be over •onie by a little tact on the part of th. teacher Dr. Fess presented au outline on the 'ilackboard for teacning ihe history < t the Revolutionary War, illustrating his • lea of taking up the tacts in their rela tion of cause aud effect, lie showed low the Board of Trade, Mercantile sy-- em, Transportation Act, Courts of Ad miralty, Arrival of Officers, Writs of AS aiaucc, Stamp Act.

Devotional exercises at the Teachers' ustitnte yesterday morning were con (1 icted by Rev. L. B. Twichell. pastor of the First Baptist church, this city. The first period of the forenoon was iccupied by a class drill conducted b\ liss Sara Wilson, illustrating her uethod of teaching reading during the second year. After recess, A. M. Clapp, a teacher >f Limestone township, delivered an ad- Iresson "Individuality." Dr. Bible occupied the next**period wth a very interesting talk on "Mem >ry.'' Dr. Fess, followed with an entertain ing talk on History." Dr. Bible occupied the first period of he afternoon with a talk on "Nature itndy," which proved of exceptional v-alue. He commenced with caterpil ars. showing how the interest of the ■npils, especially in the country school •>uld easily be aroused in this form ol .nsect life and thus led on a full [study of the animal kingdom Beginning with the larva or first orui of insect after hatching until it lecomes a chrysalis, when as a repul ive looking green worm, it may b» iound in July and August clinging t< he young sprouts of trees he passed oi o the cocoon explaining how the in sects weave the ingenious oblong case ii vhich they He while in their chrysali tate He advised that pupils be en •onraged to collect the larva and observ* he process as it spins its cocoon. Dtir ug September and October the cocoons hemselves, may be found in numbers •linging to the fences, bushes. &c\, and s'nonld be collected by the pupils and placed in the school room, where dur ing May and June the coining spring hey may be observed as the butterfly or moth emerges, undergoes its seven changes of color and enters upon its short life of fourteen days. Dr. Bible described the difference between the moth and the butterfly, which is very slight to the uneducated eye. Passing from the habits of butterflies and moths, Dr Bible took up the sub ject of spiders, dwelling at length on the formation of spider webs. ; These are either flat or funnel shaped and in the construction of either the little spider ha« two objects in view—first to -hield itself from its enemies and second to deceive and entangle its prey. Of ■spiders, Dr. Bibie says, there are only a few varieties that are poisonous. The common redtailed hawk which the farmer regards as his greatest enemy and shoots at every opportunity, is real ly the farmer's greatest friend and is en titled to his protection. It is this much abused bird which keeps down tberav ages of field mice by killing thousands every year. But for him the crops might bo ruined. What if he does kill a couple of chickens a year ? he is entitled to five or six annually. Dr. Bible declared, for the good he accomplishes. The same may be said ol the souimou little bird known as the sap sucker. He is shot with as little compunction as the hawk and as a penalty year by year the farm er sees his fruit trees dying i'i increas ing numbers from the ravages of in sects. Dr. Bible is a great lover of birds He has studied them closely, along with nearly every other form or animal life He inveighed very heavily against the practice of killing birds for the purpose of using them as ornaments on ladies' hats. He caused a mild sensation by frankly confessing that he could not fall in love with a woman who wore a dead bird on her hat Rev Dr W I. Steans delivered an address entitled. "The Work of the Public School Teacher " He paid a fine tribute to the public schools, magnify ing the teacher H calling. Popular gov ernment, he said, is not always good government. If we would have popular government mid good government com bined, the people themselves must be enlightened they must be good citizens and the national character must be above reproach The intelligent indep.

Dr. Steans has seldom risen to greater heights of eloquence and power. His address was full of encouragement, even inspiration, and it was comment ed upon by the teachers in niostenthnsi astic terms.
