VAGARIES OF THE MEMORY.

One Man Had to Get Drunk In Order to Retncmbeu Men have beeu known to leave liome for a few days, commit some serious crime and return, quite oblivious of what they have done, says the St. Jamee' Gazette. Very interesting is the case, so common among soldiers who have fought a battle and who, when it is over, cannot recall the events for several hours. The same thing happens to those who have escaped frofn shipwreck and to aeronauts who have just descended from the clouds. Tliio is the temporary loss due to strong emotion. Then there are curious examples' of temporary loss of memory owing 10 fatigue.

Sir Henry Holland when down a mine in the llarz mountains, and suffering from fatigue, completely forgot his German, and could not remember a

word of it until lie had rest and re-

freshment after ascending. We all experience this in a less degree. Sometimes it is an injury which causes the blank in the backward gaze. An English professor once received a violent blow on the head and at once forgo: all his Greek, and a musician lost all memory of music from the same cause. Mr. Whytntier in hi.s book on the Alps tells how he fell over a frightful precipice 2'0 feet high, with the result that his past was for a time wholly blotted out of his memory.

The most singular cases of memory lot?s are in connection with language. I' is quite common in our hospitals to see a sick German unable to speak a word of the English he had thoroughly mastered.

A clergyman some time ago lost all recollection of words, but he could still remember the letters of which they were composed, and could express his ideas freely Uy spelling the words. An officer suffered from a slight attack of apoplexy, and as a result forgot all but a very few words. When he tried to speak he merely uttered nonsense, but if a book or manuscript were handed to him he read it with perfect propriety. One of the most extraordinary of all memory losses is when a person forgets how to write with his right hand. but still has the power to do so with his left hand. In such a case after he has written with hie. left hand the desired sentence he can copy it with his right :d.

When the memory of words is gradually lost, it invariably progresses in one particular order. First the proper names go, then the common nouns. then adjectives, and this stage is followed by failure of the power to recollect events. Very many people suffer from the first degree excessive smokers, for instance, it is said, sometimes find it difficult to recall proper names. drunkenness is a well-known cause, and there Is the very curious case of a man who mislaid a package while drunk. forgot where ho put it when sober and had to get drunk again to find it.

Manj Animals I'lar IVi.m.m. The habit of feigning death for sake of protection can be observed among many of the lower animals—animals which differ widely in family, genus and species. Indeed, this habit is to be observed in creatures microscopic in size and of exceedingly low organization, as well as those as high in the scale of animal life as man himself for even man does not hesitate on occasions to avail himself of this natural subterfuge when he thinks it will aid in the preservation of his life. ith the aid of the microscope one can observe and study the natural history of the minute animal world, which otherwise would remain a closed and u-read volume. This instrument has shown me, beyond cavil, that creatures as low in the scale as actlnophryans. very minute, microscopic, animalcules, practice death-feigning when surprise.! by an enemy from which they cannot otherwise escape. Thus I have repeatedly seen actlnophryans fold their delicate

and sink to the

bottom of the miniature lake (a drop of water) when approached by a water louce. which preys upon them. They remain to an appearances absolutely without life until the water louse fiwima away, when they unfold their cilia and po back to their feeding grounds a bit of water weed or moss, or decayed wood.—Lippincott's Magazine. .••.,

The Gate City, which arrived Kerr on Monday from Savannah, is the first steamer going out. of this port to be equipped with an aurophone. the new device for enabling the lookout to determine the direction of sounds at sea. The aurophone was tried on the way up, but little could be told about its utility owing to its being placed in 4 poor position. It consists of a bra&s box, which fits over the mast and which has projecting from each end a broad-mouthed funnel. From this box, close to the funnels, two tubes like ordinary speaking tubes lead down the

mast and through the main deck to

with placed that a sound will enter only one

the tubes when it is passing through the funnel on the opposite side of the box. On the lower deck is an arrangement like an engine-room indica*^-, by which the box above may be turned around the mast, and directly under the indicator is a tell-tale compasB. The man below places the tubes to his ears, where they are held in place by a cap. Unless the funnels above are pointing directly toward the sound which he wishes to locate he will hear it only faintly and in one ear, because one of the funnels being turned from the sound the tube opposite does not operate. He then turns the indicator in the direction from which th« sound appears to cuno «ui

is pointing directly at the sound it passes through the funnel and out ot the other, putting both tubes in operation, and the operator hears the sound distinctly and in both ears at once. He then glances at the indicator and the point on the tell-tale at which it rests gives the exact bearing of the sound.—Boston Transcript.

"The recent warning from the Maine experiment station concerning weeds in seed," says a Maine gentleman,"may will be supplemented by calling attention to those introduced i:i the vicinity of Maine woolen mills in the wool brought from Australia or Texas or the Lord knows where. This is one of the most prolific sources of foul seeds the state has known. Two peculiarly aggressive weeds owe their importation into Maine to this cause, say the wool sorters these are what

popularly caLed 'May weed and 'red

root' or 'burr weed.' The May weed has one principal root which runs deep with a twist like a corkscrew, and when matured has a branchy, sprangling. mazy-looking top full of fine seed pods, spreading in all directions and ready to shell out seeds in enormous quantity on the least provocation. The 'burr weed' is more robust and grows eighteen inches or two feet high, a single stalk with a crown top at first, with sprouts developing other stalks from the joints later. Its seeds are held in a mass of burrs which become brittle and light, when ripened and are readily blown about. It. too, has a tap-root which goes down to a straight depth. It seeds profusely. Both the May weed and the burr weed when hoed up or pulled up from the soil will not grow again

they are

carefully carried off the iv *mises and burned. With anything lesss they are pretty sure to reappear, with additions. The burr weed, if left on the ground, will send a root down and stalk up at every joint. Fortunately, these weeds do not thrive in grass land. If they did the state would soon be overrun with them."—Lewiston Journal. ,,•

Texas 1'opullnts Wrangle.

Galveston, Tex., Aug. 6.—The populist statp convention got no further than permanent organization, and then adjourned. The delegates got into a wrangle over the order of btuiv.c". which was finally straightened our eo that the first thing to-day is t.'u sideration of the platform. There r.iv three elements in the con ven One is for Bryan and Watson and th ation of electors, eight of whr:r.: be withdrawn if. when the. hold their convention, they seven blanks for populist cl'c whichever party wins in the party is to have the electors. V. ond plan favors indorsement c.f Lou in platform, remaining s::c nominees, and in case tht den. do not pull down Sejvali, have the cast for Norton and Watson. third plan wants to indorse the form, elect electors and leave the rest of the matter in the hands of the executive committee.

Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 6.—Senator Charles E. Peers, of Warren, was chosen permanent chairman of the democratic state convention. Senator Vest, who was in the hall, responded to repeated calls for a speech, which was received with cheeers. The platform adopted at Chicago, declared the senator. was democratic in every word and syllable, and he felt certain that Missouri would give it an unprecedented majority. At the conclusion of Senator Vest's speech \V. M. Williams, of Boonville, placed Lon V. Stevens, of Cooper, in nomination for governor, under a suspension of the rules. James R. Waddill, of St. l^ouis, and David Ball of Pike, were withdrawn and Stevens' I nomination made unanimous. Mr.

Stevens made a speech thinking the convention, after Which a recess war, taken until Ss o'clock.

FiMlon Wins in West Vlrgiiilu. Parkersburg, W. V^, Aug. 6.—The populist state nominating convention convened hero Wednesday. The platform is short, but ratifies the St. Louis platform and the candidates. They urge the abolition of the tree system and a reduction of the state officials' salary. At 10 o'clock at night, after wrangling over the question of indorsing a democrat or whether to nominate a "midd'^ of the road" man, the populist, convention nominated Isaac Cox Raiphsnydei ot Fairmont for governor. Ralphsny-. der has been canvassing the state for months for the democratic nomination. It ih thought the rest of the ticket will be straight populist.

lleadqunrtem to IJe a Chlcnso. Canton, 0., Aug. 6.—Chicago will be the republican headquarters and Xew York will have only a branch. This conclusion is announced here with authority and reasons are given for the statement. It is recognized by Mr. Hanna that the main battle for votes is to be made in the west, and consequently Chicago will be more convenient as a base of supplies for campaign literature and other information incident to the work of the presidential struggle.

r«iiiisylvwnk:i FinlonlKM Win. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. G.—The state convention of the people's party wa3 held here Wednesday. The question of fusion on presidential electors was the most difficult problem up for discussion. In the platform co-operation was urgod. A letter was read from Joseph Sibley urging one ticket. State Chairman Leslie said the populists will insist on the gold democrat electors in Pennsylvania retiring from the ticket There are seventeen of them. If they do not retire the populists will put un electors of their own.
