'to their summer cottage. ' Miss Prim was with them, for Mrs. Laurence, going into a great deal of society, had to have much sewing 'done. One day Harry, who had a pretty boat named the Star light, wanted' Johnny, and Lizzie to go with him sailing. Mrs. Laurenco gave her consent, hut said Miss Prim must ac company them. They had a merry time. and,-crossing to a small island, ate. their lunch on the rocks and hunted for shells. Returning, a sudden squall came up, and if httlo Miss Prim had not been well versed in the art of sailing all would have one to the bottom.

PECl'LIAftlTIEU MEMORY. trot Oust ftalr feat Many Hetnorios In Each It is manifest that there B not one memory only, -but many memories, In each mind, and that one-kind of memory is pre-eminently developed in one person, and. another? in another; "Memory," toys Ktbot, "may be resolved Into mem ories, Just as the life of an organism may be resolved into tlie lives of the organs. the tissues, -the anatomical elements which compose it." . Referring exclu sively to the perceptive faculties, we need only mention a few thoroughly recognized facts in proof of this statement Persons having a strongly developed organ of what the phrenologists- call "individu ality'' receiv peculiarly distinct impres sions pi external objects, and, therefore, of persons: hence1 they immediately re cognize them on seeing them again, and easily picture them to themselves from memory, '. Persons abundantly endowed with the organ of "locality exhibit an astonish ing power of finding their way in regions previously unknown to them, and of re membering the character of those they have visited. Persons thus endowed, when strongly impressed by the contents of passage in a book tney have read, re member exactly the part of tho pogo in which the passage ooours.and whether the page itself be a left hand or a right hand page. ' The number of degrees of capa city or perception and recolieotion of col ors is scarcely less remarkable the power of recolieotion of them being always proportionate to the power of perceiving them ' and signalizing their differences. ' Similarly, he who possesses tlie musical faculty in an eminent degree possesses in a like degree the power of learning and remembering tlie pieces of muBlo to which bis attention is directed. - A striking proof of the distinctively individualized character of our various faculties and memories is presented in the often observed fact that the percep tion or musical sounds and the -.per ception of time,, though both alike essen tial in! the mental constitution of a good musician, differ greatly in their relative streneth in different individuals so that while one may be a skillful musician he may be an indifferent timist, and vice versa. In the former case the orderly succession of notes of a musical passage Is easily remembered, but the time in tervals, which are a distinctive feature of it are remembered less easily whereas in the latter cose the memory of time is stronger than is that of tune. - Equally notable is the fact that persons who are especially able as calculators recollect numbers with peculiar facility, Moreover, persons especially gifted with tne faculty or language cave a propor tionate facility of reoallins; words, and of quoting from memory long passages which they have previously heard or read: Cardinal Mezzofanti, who is said to have known moro than 100 different languages,, used to deolaxe that he never forgot a word that he had once leajrnt'Westminster Review. i Fasts Ceaeeratag Cabinet Woods.

Barelng at the Karnes, The subject of trousers bagging at the knees is one of general and widespread interest More widespread and general than is commonly supposed, for the rea son that a great many who have given time and thought to the consideration of it will not frankly acknowledge that they have done so. . But all the same, there are rich bankers, merchants, poets and statesman, who will to-night before they retire, carefully fold up their trousers, lay them - on a chair and place a heavy Bible off a file of. patent office reports on them, as that in the morning they will not bo compelled to walk , abroad with two bay windows located prominently at thehrknees. There are politicians who stop thinking of tho tariff several times a week to give a Jittle thought to this dotail of dress, and attempt for the hun dredth thne to solve the harassing proU lem involved. . Thero are posts who will pause in the midst of making rhymes to take this absorbing theme into considera tion.. The same thing is true through all the ranks and profetsionsof life.

' The Ficus Elastic, from, the milk of which the India rubber of comtrwTce to made, grows weU in southern Calif orn-'j. and preparations' are making to cultivate Value of Indostrlal Drawing. Interest in the manufactured products of manual training schools and. the inci dental courses of instruction in the use of tools seems to have taken attention away from industrial drawing as an indispensable factor to their success; but its great importance in de veloping tlie skill of the band and the eye - in obtaining and - express ing knowledge sliouM not be lost sight of. In every manual school the thoughts to be expressed in wood, metal, etc., are first expressed by drawing. If, there fore, manual exercisea are to be intro duced into schools, tlie first thing as a preparation for them is to introduce in dustrial drawing. This should be so taught that pupils may be led to express their thought not only by drawing but by making it that is, by constructing the object of tlie thought The extent to which thia method may be carried can sot be determined at this time, when our experience with it is still in the first stages. That it to possible to do some thing, however, has already been fully demonstrated by the excellent results ob tained by tho pioneers in this movement In such cities as St Louis, Chicago, St Paul, Columbus, Worcester and Quincy. Charles M. Carter in The Osntury. The Consumption of Qiilnlnci ., - . Sonio 'writers hare claimed that the use of quinine establishes what Is termcxl a quinine habit or a morbid desire for the drug, the gratification of which is essential to tho normal well being of the! vlctl-n. ' ' When the large consumption" of quinlno is considered, however, and the fact that no well authenticated cases ap pear in tho voluminous' literature de scriptive of the naturo and action of this drug, the absurdity of the claim will be apparent, and the following case which is reported by a correspondent of The Druggists Qrcular 'Will bo regarded rather as on interesting anomaly than as proof that tho quinine habit practically has any existence in fact: . ' "A few yers ago, while, clerking in a small town in North Missouri, thero was a young drygoods merchant located next door to the store in which I was em ployed. This young man would conio into the store from four to six time daily, walk back to where the quinine bottle was kept (it was purposely, placed in a con venient position), and with the point of a spatula would put probably two or threo grains upon his tongue, band us a nickel and walk out, without taking any thing to allay its bitter taste Thia was a daily occurrence during the time that I remained there (nearly tlurte years). In 'reply to a query from roe lr said that ho took the quinine because he liked the effects - of it and unless he did so his mind became confused, and he was scarcely able to properly attend to his business duties. Though many ill considered Articles hare appeared in print since cocaine lias been so widely employed, claiming that the use of this drug established a physi cally and mentally demoralizing habit tho testimony of tho most competent observers, and tho investigation of so called cases of cocaine habit have clearly shown that a cocaine habit in the sense that wo speak of the opium or alcohol habit does not exist. With the excep tion of a few drugs, among which we may mention opium, alcohol, chloral and hasheesh, no adequate proof exists that the use of drugs creates a morbid craving for them uncontrollable by the will.
