"MEMORY MAPS" ARE FREAKS
Try to Draw Outline of the Various
Countries and You Will B Sur
prised at Your Ignorinca.
A ma a and wife sat at the table at
their home trying to draw the outline
limp of Europe, from memory, ob
serves the Ohio Stute Journal. They
nix m found that they knew little about
it They had been reading of European
events for years, and yet when the
came to putting their mind picture of
the continent on paper they forgot theti
geography entirely. The mini hud read
Anabasis and Homer in the original
and yet put Greece between the Adri
atic and the coast of Spain, and left
Austria out altogether. The wife had
Spain and France side by side on an
east and west line, with Belgium to the
north, covering both, while she wade
the boot of Italy a fashionable $10
gaiter. Anyone looking at the two
maps could tell they were not of
America or Asia, but of where, he
couldn't say.
But aerlously, it la a delightful
amusement and might with profit be in
dulged in more. After one gets through
with Europe, take the other continents
and the countries that belong to them.
And then one might come nearer home.
It would be really sad to observe the
Ignorance concerning our own locali
ties, but it would be amusing, too. Just
for fun, have a company draw maps of
Great Britain and Ireland, or Turkey,
China. Kansas and Nebraska, Louis
iana, Delaware, etc, and much sur
prised you will be to see how this old
earth bad changed since you trusted
It to your memory.
MUSIC REACHES THE HEART
Performer Dealing In Emotions Cap
tivate Women More 8wlftly Than
the Poets or Painter.
The poet deals in words, while the
painter deals in color and form, but
the musician deals in emotions and
therefore his appe to woniea is al
ways more swift, at it Is always more
subtle, than the appeal of any other
artist.
Such, summed up by a writer in the
1'hlladelphla North American, is the
latest theory to explain the lure of mu
sic for women and the attraction of
the dark-ayed. long-haired musician
himself.
The average woman, aay the theor
ists, la hemmed in with conventions
that mak her feel a prudish dlecora
foat If a book or a poem talks too open
ly of what ahe thinks of. but never
puts Into words. With a picture It Is
the same way, but in the music, ahe
hear with emotional delight all the
romanticism, all the beauty, and all
the vague dreams which ahe hldea so
closely from the world. In conae
aueuce ah reads Into the vnaie bar
own ieeiings, aud tnen she conruses
the muslciun with his music. He, too,
is keyed up to a high tension ; he feels
telepathlcally the emotion he has com
municated, and so a spark Is kindled
between them. As for the result
well, sometimes it is love, sometimes
a momentary Infatuation that all de
pends npon how much music they heur
together and how much pent-up nerv
ous emotionalism lies buried In the
woman's soul.
Small Prescriptions.
Many physicians have a habit of
writing prescriptions without calcu
lating the quantity of medicine their
patients are to take. This leads to a
great waste of drugs and much un
necessary expense. Which leads the
New York Medicrtt Journal to urge
physicians to be more careful.
Another evil result of this far too
common practice, is that partly used
prescriptions are stored away In the
medicine chest, and next time the pa
tient has, or thinks he has, the same
symptoms, he takes what he supposes
to be the same medicine.
But the chief reason why physi
cians should not prescribe four or six
ounces when they know only one or
two will be used, is that It is wasting
the drugs and making the patient pay
far more for his medicine than is at
all necessary.
the mayor's subordinates would take
the cane, find the culprit and place
it horizontally upon the latter's chest.
The proceeding was equivalent to
a summons, and the man hud to Hp
pear before the mayor under the pen
alty of being cast Into prison. This
actioa was borrowed from Spain,
where it still prevails in the more Im
portant actions-
First Introduced Canes.
The Mexicans first used cunes in
America. When the Spanish con
quered the country, a queer custom
was Introduced. The chief executive
of the towns carried a stick with a
gold or sliver head. It was a kind
of scepter.
The people, of course, rarely knew
how to read or write, and when any
one vii wanted for a crlmA one of
Find Skeleton of Giant
A perfect sketeleton was uncovered
In Surrey, England, during the work
of carrying out alterations to surface
water drainage in one of 'the muln
streets In Faroham. The chief bones
were in a perfect state of preservation,
and were sufficient to show thut the
body was that of a man of unusual
stature. Close by was found a bona
of a horse. The site of a Norman cem
etery is only a little distance from the
spot where the body was found, and
here some years ago cinerary urns
were discovered, which were stated to
be perefct examples of first-century
urns. Some of these are now pre
served in Waverly abbey.
Rust Diuolver.
Ai Italian Inventor has patented l
method of cleansing Iron and steel
from rust. By his process the metal
is made the cathode In a phosphorW
acid electrolyte. It Is claimed thai
this acid, unlike others, dlssolvej
away the rust without attacking thi
solid metal, and also tends to prevent
subsequent vustlng. The electrolyU
Is made by adding 10 parts of pho
phorlc acid to 90 parts of water, ol
by adding a 10 per cent solution ol
sodium phosphnte to 10 per cent ol
the acid. A temperature between M
