"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.
