THE 110AN0KE NEWS, TI1UKSDAY MAY 12, 1S92. NEW ADVEUT1SKM KXTS NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. X KW ADVERTISEMENTS. PICKING AMD CHOOSING. A I'KVorltt! Ucc'ip il io:i of tho Street t'rcliio. A:i rnt.:y::t tv. . -nU iluitor t the Atr lautiv: Mim!i'.y I;;: 'noon amusing' lior solf liv uh-'M-vin;; tho amiisomonta of poor oliiluiv.i i:i oity stivots. Ono raw, irrciy Maxell Sunday sho saw half !l dozer, littl.! t,'h'. -very small, but not liable.;, tho oldest perhaps oijflit sit tinjf on tho inhospitable stops of a gloomy closoil business building down town. U was a oro:,-; stsvet; there wore vory few people trohi' by. H must have been a dreary tenement house indeed from which, on r.ue'.i a day, this bare place, offered a refuse.. I suppose a few peo ple, froinjj to and from a ferry, wore their eutovt.tiners: for, as you will .see, it was to feast on the passers-by that they were there. As 1 approached, they were irabblin;:, but softly, with their heads all togeth er, and turned from mo toward some retreating feminine Iljfurc; hut wheu one looked my way she sot up a mys terious little wild cackle, whereupon all attention was eentored upon my modest person, and my vanity expands de lightfully now with tho recollection--from the first observer I caught, in the loudest and most pipeful of under tones, tho words: "That's mo! That's inc!" Then lowering her voice, with a note of awe, she added: "Oh, sec, see! Silkl silk!" and the small, blue, grimy hands smoothed automatically her own rag ged frock, while in a trance of rapture she gazed at mine, where, after all, I remember with still poignant regret, only a very humble portion of silk was visible. They were "choosing," you see, as I used to from fashion plates, and were utterly oblivious of my existence other ithan as a lovely vision sent for their de dight. And what a thing it is for me to ;know that 1 once presented such an as pect to fellow-beings! GOOD MEMORY, It la Not an Independent l'acultr of the .Hind. Whatever may be .said in regard to training tho memory, it must ho ro .membered that memory is not, as used ,to be supposed, an independent faculty ,of the mind that in some mysterious ;way may be directly strengthened by exercise, as the blacksmith strengthens his arm; but that memory is retentive is duo to tho plasticity of nerve sub stance, anil to tho property of nerve centers by which they retain, in :gTowth, their functional modifications; ;and that recollection depends upon physiological conditions, such as the cerebral circulation and tho proper 'functioning of nerve cells; moreover, that a complete act of recollection is a a complex process involving compari son, inference and the like. Hence, says Seribner, whatever in general in conducive to vigorous health, and whatever tends to habits of clear and orderly thinking such con ditions will aid recollection. And whatever is detrimental to the normal functioning of the nerve cells fatigue, intense emotion, or the like and what ever blinds the judgment, will hinder recollection. In short, all psychologi cal beatitudes are on tho head of him who has good health, sane emotions, and trained power of attention. liut Ipo amount of study, nor all the pro scriptions of mnuemonio doctors, from Simonides to Loisette, (except to far as thoy train attention.) can atone for anamiia of body or lack of the power of attention. GFISAT HEROISM. Tho Couraueom Cumlnrt of n Voting Jupiiiiesu Nobleman. I recall to mind a story of an officer in the emperor's army who were be sieging a fortress, f.ays Sir Edwin Arnold. Their number was small, and a relieving army was coming up. It was of immense moment that they should know how long the fortress could hold out. If it must capitulate for want of supplies within a week Vhey could stay and win the campaign for the emperor. A young Japanese nobleman volunteered to go into the fortress and ascertain how long they could hold out. Hj disguised himself, and in passing learned that they had food and water for only two days more. As ho was going out with this 'precious information he was detected and. tho enemy said to him: "We aro going to crucify you. but we will let you off on one .condition that you go to the wall and toll your people that we have supplies for a week." lie said; "Very well," and h' went to the wall. Ilia wife and children in the besiegers' camp saw him, his friends wore there also, and he held up both hand.i and said to them: "There are supplies for but two days. Continue the siege and you will take tho place." lie died by a hundred spoar points, but ho had djue hia duty to his general. Ants Know Their Icnd.,. It is seldom, if ever, that ants belong ing to the same fonnfoiry ijiiaiTol with one another. Auto of dii'erent form icaries are always hostile t o.ne an other. Sir John Lubbock once made some ants very drunk. Uao-half was from one nest and the other half from another ne:;t He markc.) them with spots of diaerent colors, to ili.ilinguish them. They were all put on u tabic near to the nest from which half of them had been taken. This table was surrounded with water. Some of the sober ants were feeding on honey near by, and after a time discovered the in toxicated ones. They seemed a little .puzzled at first, then took the strangers and throw them into the water, butcar ried their own into their nest. A Strati; Funeral Cnitom. In Italy, France and Spain it is con mon to ring a handbell a short distance In advance of a funeral procession. The object of this custom is said to be to clear the way for the procession, to re mind passengers and loiterers to take off their hats, and to call the pious to their doors and windows to gaze upon the emblems of mortality and to say a prayer for the repose of the soul of the departed one. Cleanse Your Blood With Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Druggists approve it, doctors recommend it, and the public prefer it to any other. Tho rea son is -because, tested chemie ally, Ayer's Sarsaparilla proves to be the most scientific remedy of its class; tested profession ally, it is recognized as a standard pharmaceutical preparation ; tested by individuals and whole neighborhoods, it is demon strated in actual use to be the strongest and most effective, and therefore the most economical and desirable blood-purifier.
