An Aid to Memory. J. M. Caldwell, in "Old Irish Life,'' tells a story ot a young peasant woman, Sally Sweeny, who used to walk into Galway twice a week to do shopping for her family when they lived in the country, says the Detroit Free Press. She could neither read nor write, yet she never made a mistake with any of the messages that were intrusted to her. Once, however, her memory did fail her. One of the ladies of the family had ordered her to bring back a yard of some color of satin, and the unaccustomed word slipped out of Sally's recollection. But she did not allow herself to be beaten without an eltort to recall the word, so she went into the principal chop in Gal way still thinking hard. "What is't that ye call the divil." she asked, "whin it's not divil that ye say to him?" "Is it Satan you would be meaning?" asked the astonished draper. "The very wan," said Sally delightedly. "An' ye* 11 give me a yard." NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT. Notice is hereby given that the undersigned will make final settlement as adminstratrix of the estate of Edwin L.
