Many people complain at baring a bad memory, as if it were ometbing they could not help, like a headache, or some similar ailment; yet eren that can be helped nowadays by the appli cation of a little common sense. After all, there is no reason why anybody bould have a bad memory. It is mere ly a matter of training and is, more over, a matter in which it is never too late to attend to its training. For grown-ups many methods are advo cated, all of them, no doubt, based on the principle of mental concentration. In a young child the faculty can be cultivated by making the child de scribe everything it has seen in its morning walk, taking care that no fact Is exaggerated, but that strict atten tion is paid to truth in every detail. In the matter of memorizing it is an excellent plan to let the child learn one line f poetry a day, which it should repeat the following morning, and at the end of a week it will be able to say the seven lines. The young brain should not be overloaded with knowledge, but allowed to assimilate a fragment each day. Are Visiting til at Too Long?

Transfer it to his wife, who works twice as hard, and is not suppos ed to get anything but board and clothes, and a chance to praise the Lord. A New. Jersey woman thinks she is entitled to two pensions because she is the widow of one soldier and the grass widow of another. Of course, no girl really wants to mar- ty. She only yields to some poor man's solicitations to help make his life misera ble because she feels sorry for him. The banana is a perfect food. Weight for weight it is claimed to be as nutri tious as the beefsteak. If there is a crime of deeper dye than all the guilty train of human vices, it is ingratitude.

'That's all right, sir,' I said; "the train divides into two halves at the junction. You've "come on by the first half; your luggage will come on by the second.' I've known many a case, "You're wrong, porter," said the traveler; "it was not a case, it. was a portmanteau." 'And," added the porter, "he went away with a grin which made me fair ly mad. In a quarter of an hour or so, though," he continued, "the gentleman came back, and said to me: 'Porter, how long will that second train of yours be?" ' 'Twelve coaches and. an engine,' replied. .

"You'd be astonished," : continued the knight of the bell strap, "to know how many people try to beat the trol ley for a free ride when they want to make a call a square or two away from home. "They hop on the car, wait till it has started and then want to know if the car doesn't go to some place which they know it doesn't come within a mile of. In this way they get their ride for nothing and go on their way in the belief that they have fooled the conductor." Philadelphia Press. -'- ' Sign or the Tbree 'Balls.

And then it never cries a bit, like some bad babies do: And papa says it looks like me I don't think so, do yon? For I'm a girl, and it's a boy., and boys I can't endure.
