BLAINE'S MEMORY. A ?tory Showing How Well Developed Was Its Power. A talent for remembering names and faces is ? cost convenient one, especially for a man in public life. Few men have it in greater measure than had Mr. Blaine. There are a thousand stories of his wonderful readiness in recalling persons, and here is one not before in print: In the early sixties he was travel ing in a sleeping car through Cana da. Deep in the Canadian forest the engine broke down, and there was a delay; of several hours. A lit tle girl of passenger five years was a fellow Mr. Blaine made friends with the child and to pass the time of waiting proposed that they should go in search of spruce gum. They came back laden with sticky spoils, which were shared with their com panions. Fifteen years went by, and the child had grown to be a college sen ior without again seeing Mr. BUine. One afternoon she heard him speak' at a large public meeting, and at the close of the address sho made her way to him. She said simply : "Mr. Blaine, I don't suppose you will remember me. I am Margaret Sargent." Quick as a flash came the answer, emphasized with a hearty hand grasp: "Have you ever tasted any spruce gum since that was as good as that was?" Of course the recognition made that girl his friend for life. Mr. Blaine was once asked how he acquired the power. He said that he was not conscious ox any especial effort to gain it unless by cultivat ing the habit of always thinking over carefully each night the events of the day and the persons who had taken part in them. Probably a brief written record of these would help still further in the strengthen ing of the power. Certain it is that the confirmed egotist who thinks and talks of nothing outside himself i? seldom the owner of the useful memory for the names and faces of others.?Youth's Companion. The Evolution of the Sword. As men m early times fought Hand to hand, the oldest specimens of the sword are short. In fact, the sword is probably but an evolution of the club, which, at first made of hardwood, was gradually sharpened on one and then on both sides, bo as to inflict a more deadly wound. iWood gave way to stone, which in turn was displaced by bronze, iron and finally steel. The sword increased in length as men became more civilized and showed a disposition to fight farther away from each other, which re quired moro dexterity in the use of the weapon. Some specimens we have of swords of the middle ages are almost if not quite as long ?s the warriors who wielded them. During the fifteenth century the sci ence of fencing was invented, when the sword in the form of a rapier reached the highest point of devel opment. A Collection of Crowns. A whole collection of crowns is kept in the Russian royal palace. iThese relics of departed greatness? they nearly all oome from countries which have been subjugated by the [Russians?are kept in what is known as the "throneroom." Here are shown the crowns of Poland, Ka zan, Georgia, Astrakhan and Persia, h sides the thrones and other royal insignia too numerous to mention. Besides, the crowns of conquered na tions, those of almost all the czars may be seen in that vast treasure house. The most curious one of the lot is the double crown made for Peter the Great and his half witted broth er, the most costly that of the Em press Catherine, ?bich contains 2,536 diamonds of the first water. Use of Pigeons For Speculation. In modern times the pigeons have * been used for purposes of commerce and speculation as Well as war. In 1770 a shrewd Italian had the win ning numbers in the lotteries thus sent to him, and it is a* well known fact, that the London branch, of the . great Rothschild banking house was able, by means of carrier pigeons, to . receive news of the victory ; at Ws^ terloo three days in advance of the government and to realize an enor mous profit by buying up govern ment stock, then very much depress ed, and selling again when the rise came. _ A Big Insect. ^he biggest insect of its kind i? th. world is the hercules beetle of SoAmerica, which grows to bo six inches in length. It ia said, whather truthfully or not, that great numbers of these creatures are sometimes seen on the mum i maea tree, rasping the rind from the slender branche?, by working around them with their noms until they cause the juice to flow. This juice they drink to intoxication and thus fall senseless to the ground. c5Asi"ORIA For Infants and Cbildrea. Zli KM Yea Have Ahnfs Bears the Signature of ?

In Spite of Apparent Friendliness, Th?y Are Treacherous. Monkeys are not classed as savage animals, but nevertheless the keep ers of the zoo are as chary of enter ing a monkey* cage as they are of go ing into the domicile of the leopards or any of the smaller species of the cat"tribe. The ''monks'' in "spite of their apparent friendliness are a treacherous crew, and many an un wary keeper has nursed painful wounds as a result of boldly ventur ing into the apartments allotted to the simians A little precautionary action is necessary to protect even the man who feeds them should he have oc casion to enter the dens. The mon keys will conceitedly attack anyone who ventures among them and by force of numbers will endanger the life of tho bold visitor. Whenever a keeper desirc3 to go among the animals he first gives ut terance to a hissing sound. The hereditary enemy of tho "monk" is the pnake, and at the first hiss the iittlo animals will scalo the heights of the cago in terror. By a judicious use of the awe inspiring sound the attendant can keep the monkeys out of tho way for a briof period. When a long stay in tho cage is nec essary, the keeper generally borrows a bull snake, a harmless but formi dable looking variety, from the rep tile house, and with this coiled about his waist is safe from any covert attack while at work.?Phil adelphia Record. Men and Legs. Two men were looking over some steel engravings in an uptown shop the other day with a view to pur chase, A portrait of Lincoln sug gested to one of them this story of Honest Abe, which the narrator says he had from his father: Lincoln and his cabinet wero in session; but, as he had anticipated no discussions of importance, the president left word that he would receive cards. As ho supposed, the meeting was wholly social. While they were gathered about the table a servant brought in two cards, and Lincoln commanded that the callers be admitted. When they appeared, he found one to be a tall, spare man, the other one much un dersized. After a moment's chat they retired. . "There is a remarkable instance of the providence of the Creator," remarked Lincoln impressively as he turned again to.his ministers. "There are two men. God has giv en one man ^extraordinarily long legs ?:nd the other extraordinarily short legs, yet he has made the legs of each of those men "so that they just exactly reach the ground r"? New York Times. The Juryman Was Right. A funny story is related of a jury man who outwitted a judge, and that without telling an untruth. He came breathlessly into the court. =s "Oh, my lord," he said, "if you can excuse me, pray do. I don't know which w?l die first, my wife or my daughter." "Dear me, that's sad," said the innocent judge. ^'Certainly; you are excused." The next day 'the juryman was met by a friend, who in a sympa thetic voice asked: "How's your wife?" "She's all right, thank you." "And your, daughter ?" "She's all right too. Why do you ask?" 'fWhy, yesterday you said that you did not know which would die first." I . "Nor do I. That is a problem that time alone con solve." First Come, First Served. "Hold up a ring and let them jump for it." The cynical phrase was tested by a popular American preacher, as is stated in an Ameri can Methodist journal. The preach er had lost one wife and wanted an other. None of the circumlocution ary cumbrous matrimonial adver tisement for him. He simply rose in the pulpit and said, "I am a can didate for matrimony, and if any woman in this congregation would care to take me let her rise." She rose?two of her. The minister, with a critical speaker's eye, timed the rising's and called on" the first. Then ho invited the rest of the con gregation to a hymn. England's National Library.

A ?ty is a little abscess at the edge of the eyelid. There are gener ally far more pain and swelling than are proportionate to the seriousness of tho case. It is tho result of tho plentiful supply of blood \essels to the eyelid and the closeness of its texture which cause great pain in tho process of swelling. The little abscess is red and very tender, and usually in a fow days it bursts and discharges matter unies.? treatment can be carried out early and ener getically enough to arrest the in flammation. As soon as the sty has opened the pain and swelling subside. Sties point to some de rangement in health. They occur in people who have a predisposition I to them or who are long sighted and ! have been overusing their eyes, or } they may come on after exposure I to cold wind. They arc very apt to occur one after tho other for several weeks. At. the very beginning of tho -at tack the application of something cold, such as ice wrapped in a bit of oil silk, laid over tho eye, may cut short tho inflammation. But ex cept at the very earliest stage this cannot b? done, and the best treat ment and that which gives most re lief is the application of moist heat in the *orm of a poultice or hot fo mentations made of poppy heads till the sty bursts of itself or is opened. The general health must have at tention, and ten drops of the tinc ture of s'teel in water three times a day and some mild aperient before breakfast arc often the most bene ficial form of treatment. ? Isabel Brown, M. D.? in American Queen. A Cat and a Mirror. A man who owns a remarkably fine cat gave this illustration of its wonderful intelligence: He put the cat on a table in front of a small glass. Its first manifes tation after it saw its reflection was of surprise. It siared at it for a mo ment and then went behind the glass, evidently to find the other cat. Then it returned to ils beat in front and looked attentively for a minute or two at the image. Sud denly it darted around the glass, but, finding no cat there, returned to the front again. Keeping its eyes fixed steadily on its image, it began feeling behind the glass with its paw, first in one direction and then in another. See ing the paw of the image - on the glass move just as its own did, it was evidently about concluding that the image was its own, and it then began various movements to fully satisfy itself. It raised one paw and then the other, licked them and touched the glass with them and moved its head about. Satisfied ap parently that it had solved the mys tery, it presently walked calmly away.?Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Art In Tolling Lies. Telling the truth is an art, but not.nenrly so diflBcult an art as tell ing lied. It is within reach of any man's power, if he will take time and pains, to reiai-e the thing that is. It takes a man of imagination end strong memory to bring forth the thing that is not Besides, the liar cannot carry his lie all over the world'and back to tho creation. At some point or other ho must piece it on to the universal truth, and to do that neatly he must be a good work man. But this is only part of the greater question as to vice and vir tue generally. Virtue is for all who love it. In order to become an ac complished villain a man must have natural aptitude, carpful training and immense powers of application, and at any time the villain may be ruined as a villain by the unexpect ed coming to life of conscience.? All the Year Bound. There Are No Blind Fish. There are many animals in the world which pass all their lives in darkness, never seeing a ray of light. Every one has heard of the blind fishes of the Mammoth cave. The latter is the biggest of 500 great caverns in the United States. All of them are inhabited by numer ous other sorts of creatures that have no eyes for vision. Literally speaking, there is no such thing as a blind fish, since the most sightless of the finny tribe possesses visual organs in a. rudimentary condition, but through want of use the optic Sanglia and nerves have broken own and been absorbed.

The bright young man found himself privi leged to sit next to the young woman with beautiful arms and neck. He thought himself the most favored personage in tho room. Suddenly his fair companion exhibited signs of nervousness: Two of his very best jokes, saved for a special occasion, passed by unnotioed. Her faee wore a look of alarm. Apprehensively the young man gazed at her and, meet ing the look, she said: "I am in misery." "In misery?" echoed the man. "Yes," she replied. 'I was vac cinated the ether day and it has taken beautifuiiy. I could almost scream, it hurts so." The young man looked at the beau tiful arms and, seeing no mark there, said: "Why, where were you vaccinated?" *'In Boston," she replied, the smile chasing away the look of pain.?Bos ton Journal. ?
