Concerning Memory Cultivation

Recollection of a once widespread practice is had throuerh the reading of a paper before a Sun-

Jay School Association at Marietta, sketching the foundation of the first school of that kind in 1791 by a motherly old lady who was moved to action by beholding the children of the settlement playing within the fortifications on the Sabbath day. In latter days there was installed the popular exercise of reciting on Sunday verses from the Scripture which had been memorized

during the week. The leats penormea oy cnudren a century ago were prodigious. In the reports for 1818 it was found that one child had committed to memory 3,517 verses, and that on a certain Sunday another scholar repeated 352 verses. Contests sprang up, and in 1819 it was proudly heralded from Muskingum Academy that a scholar had memorized no fewer than 11,448 verses, and that at Point Harmar recitation of

7,238 verses had been performed by a precocious child. This led the secular school authorities of that year solemnly to report that "children who have attended the Sunday school and have been in the practice of committing to memory large

Dortions of Scriptures have learned twice as much as their companions in the week-day schools in all

those branches which depend upon the memory."

It is not directly stated that the School Direc

tors believed that.it was the religious aspect of

the occupation which brought the reward of bet

ter scholaraship, but it is to be inferred that they

did. The practice has now been all but abandon-

ad in Sabbath schools of this day, but the lay lesion remains that to develop the memory the best

and surest way is to give the scholar hard drilling

in remembering things. What the early settlers

doing for centuries, and which the learned Mohammedans of today are doing memorizing their sacred books by constant repetition and review. Continued from childhood to old age, this daily exercise develops a memory that astonishes those who are not aware of the simple secret Cincinnati Enquirer.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

s TETE-A-TETE BEFORE THE GRATE (Continued) I winced at the memory of the evening before when Katie had served our after-dinner coffee before the gas log in the living room. The financial discussion which followed had precipitat

ed a painful scene. But Dicky, in his

pronounce it can-tone-ment, accent on the second syllable, because they got started that way and can't stop, though

they know it is not the preferred pronunciation. Dr.

nothing left which could cause any discussion. "Why not?" I turned to Katie. "Please bring the things into the other room." We sipped our coffee and then Dicky

lighted a cigar. "You ought to smoke, Madge," he said carelessly. "Won't

you try a cigarette?"

He drew out his case of cigarettes and proffered me one I drew back in horror. "Dicky!" I ejaculated. "Vou do not mean you would like to see me smoking!" v He looked at me -curiously. "I beg your parodn." There was a touch of irony in his voice. "I seem fated to 6tumble on your prejudices." He replaced the cigarettes in his pocket. "But, Dicky," I persisted, "it means a lot to me. Tell me, would you be willing to have your wife a user of cigarettes?" "If you mean a cigarette fiend, no," : returned Dicky, "nor, of course, I

that cold, calm salntllnes of yours with a lighted cigarette ought to be interesting.";Did his voice hold a covert sneer? I thought again of the woman in Uie theatre dressing room who had referred to me as "the marble bride."

Were the principles upon which my very character was built to be the rock

upon which our happiness would be wrecked?

I recognized the fact that to Dicky

my principles were only prejudices. A

tiny voice somewhere In my Inner con

sciousness whispered : "Are you very

sure that some of them are not?"

I felt bewildered, shaken. The

trifling query of Dicky's concerning

my smoking had been to me as the sudden loosening of an anchor must be to a boat. I was swept into unfamiliar seas. Secure in tho haven of the limited circle which had surrounded my work and life before my marriage I had never Questioned the soundness of the theories which. had been bred in me. I wondered what my mother would say to me. I knew she had possessed my temperament. I knew also that her life had been wrecked by my fa

ther's desertion of her. What had she

WASHINGTON Pa., Nov. 3. Seniors of Washington and Jefferson College who enlist in any branch of United States services or are selected for the national army will receive their degrees and their names on the college record will 6tand as though they had completed the full curriculum, according to announcement by President Frederick W. Rinitt. This, action was unanimously agreed upon by the faculty.

As a less expensive substitute for an electric hair drier an electrician In Europe has invented a device for warming ordinary combs.

The old sea captain, in brass but- . tons, sat smoking comfortably by his fireside, when Jack, his sailor son, ' burst in upon him. , "Weather too rough," explained the ' son, "so we've put in for a day." ' "Too rough?" exclaimed Mr. Tar, i with visions of his own 'days on the I briny. "Why sir, I was once sailing

round the Cape when a storm came on, and it blew down the mainmast and the mizzenmast was swept away, but

we didn't even think of putting in!

"Well, you see," explained the son, "this storm was so bad it blew the anchors off the captain's buttons, took the paint off the ship's bows, and " "Stop!" cried the old man. "You do me credit, Jack you do me credit!" The following story comes from a reader who is employed on munitions. There had, it appears, been an explosion at a neighboring factory, and the manager, who was snatching a brief holiday at the time, hurried to investigate. "How in the world did it happen?" he asked the foreman as he viewed the wreck. "Who was to blame?" "Well, you see, sir," was the reply, "it was like this. Bill went Into the mixing room, probably thinking of something else, and struck a match in mistake. He " "Struck a match!" exclaimed the manager in amazement. "I should have thought it would have been the last thing on earth he'd do." "It was, sir." was the rejoinder.

Has anybody thought of saving leadpencil sharpenings? Also, here'3 a conservation idea: Don't wet the lead with your tongue. Tt wears out quicker that way. The lead, not the tongue. We often wonder how many O.

Henrys there are in this country at the present time. Jack Lait, the only original "second O. Henry," by accusation and a plea of "guilty," is in our

midst. He lives out in Soxville and . smokes Home Rt;n cisarets. Also the i third, fourth, fifth and sixth O. Hen-i

ry's have been here. If anybody else wants to make a claim, the best he can get is seventh place. O. Henry was "the second Guy de Maupassant." Jack is "the second O. Henry." What relation is Jack to Guy? Is he the third Guy de Maupassant, or was Guy the first Jack Lait? Really these literary problems are most annoying. ONE OF THOSE INDETERMINATE SENTENCES The old adage, "History repeats itself," was once more demonstrated this morning by a good piece of detective work by members of the Corning police force, who arrested James Dunn, brother of David Dunn, who was electrocuted for the murder of Harry Edwards in Corning ,for an assault upon Frank Nawak. bartender at the Hotel National Monday night, for the purpost of accomplishing a robbery upon circumstantial evidence that In some . psnpcts was strikingly similar to that which led to the arrest of David Dunn for the mudred of Edwards.

TOBACCO AND DRINKLESS DAY The housewives are heartily observing the meatless and wheatless days. We believe since there is so much money spent for that which is not meat or bread but a detriment to the nation's welfare, we as housewives, recommend there be a day set apart In each week to be a drinkless and tobaccoless day on which no one will buy, sell or uso any tobacco or Intoxicant of any kind. This will mean a saving of dollars and will also help the physical condition of American People. COMMITTEE OF MARY HILL W. C. T. U.

my prejuaices to Dicky's, and save my resistance for a time when come vital principle might be in question? All at once the realization swept over me that her advice would be just what I had fancied. I made a sudden decision. I leaned forward and held out my hand to Dicky. "If you will promise that It won't make me 111 as a small boy's cigar is always said to do, I will try one of your cigarettes," I said with a smile.
