MARVELOUS MEMORY FEATS RAISING ELK FOR PROFIT.
Napoleon Able to Repeat Names of
Every; Soldier in Kegiment
Bossuet's Gift.
This Species Is the Only Deer That
Can Be Easily Reared in Captivity
Industry Created. ,
Both Napoleon I. and III.- had
extraordinary powers of memory.
It is said of the first that he could i
repeat the names of his fullest
regiment, having heard - the list
but once read. Later in life, dis
covering one of his old soldiers in
a certain stonecutter, he was able
to tell at once the rank he held in
the army, the exact corps and reg
iment he -belonged to, where he
had served and the individual
character he had borne for brav
ery. Seneca complained of old age
when he could not, as formerly,
repeat 2,000 words in the order
in which they were read. The Dru
ids taught their whole circle of
sciences in 20,000 verses, which
students were called upon to com
mit to memory, a task frequently
taking 20 years.
It is related of Wiegis, a Ger
man violinist, that upon the dis
covery that the score of a certain
.valuable opera had been lost he
volunteered to write it from mem
ory. This he successfully did, to
the nicest details, and was paid a
handsome sum of money. Upon
many occasions Wiegis accurate
ly performed his part at the opera
,when he was so intoxicated as to
make it necessary to provide him
with his instrument and adjust it
Ito his hands.
Itacine could recite all the trag
edies of Earipedes. Lord Gran
ville repeated the New Testament,
from beginning to end, in the
original Greek, and Cooke, the
tragedian, is said to have commit
ted to memory all the contents of
a large daily newspaper.
Strazniky was said to know the
name and place of every one of the
100,000 volumes of the Astor li
brary. The same was said of the
old librarian, Magliabechi, who,
.besides knowing the name of every
book of his vast library, could re
peat the contents of a great num
ber of them, and could tell any in
quirer not only what book would
best satisfy his wishes, but th
chapter and page where the de
sired data could be fouid.
Mirandola would commit to
. memory the contents of a book
by reading it three times over and
could frequently repeat the words
backward as well as forward.
Thomas Crammer is said to have
committed to memory in three
months an entire translation of
the Bible, and Leibnitz, when an
old man, could recite the whole of
.Virgil word for word.
Lastly, Bossuet could' repeat
not only the whole Bible, but all of
-Homer, Virgil and Horace, be

Elk arc successfully domesti
cated in the eastern states, says
Country Life in America. In fact,
they are the only deer that can be
easily reared in captivity in prac
tically any climate. They will live I
without shelter, and can subsist
on a hardy diet of bark and twigs
during the severe winter, when
the domestic animals would not
survive. They are prolific and
their young thrive. All this rais
es a question, of considerable eco
nomic importance. The pilgrims
when they landed on Plymouth
rock found elk at home in New
England down to tidewater. Why
not make use of the waste land
of the east again, rehabilitate it
with elk that can, ff necessary,
find sustenance winter and sum
mer on the barren pastures of the
abandoned farms, and thus create
a new industry of raising elk for
profit? According to Prof. Wil
liam T. Hornaday, who, of all au
thorities in America, could per
haps speak with the most weight
on this subject, there is no doubt !
that an industry of raising elk
in New England may be created,
provided only that there is a mar
ket for elk venison at a higher
price than beef sav. 50 cents a
pound retail. , -
PULPIT MOVES BY A RAIL.
Preacher's Edifice Moves About
Church and Returns to Position
at End of Sermon.
Movable pulpits can be found
in various churches throughout
the country, but the movable pul
pit recently presented to St.
Paul's, Cheltenham, is the only
one worked by machinery. A
tramway, 18 feet in length, has
been laid down in the chancel,
and immediately before the ser
mon the pulpit and its staircase
move along it slowly, noiselessly,
and almost mysteriously, and
take up a prominent position, re
turning to the original position
beside the organ at the conclu
sion of the preacher's discourse.
There is 30 feet of wire rope appa
ratus employed, the structure be
ing caused to move on what is
known as the "spindle" principle.
The innovation, striking as it is,
is a most convenient one, the
preacher being able toaddress his
congregation practically in fuli
new of everyone. The pulpit is
lighted by electricity from the in
side, the coils conveying the cur
rent being paid out as it moves.

"An overdraft arises wben a customer of a
bank draws therefrom more money than is
standing to his credit in bis account with the
bank." 21 Am. & Eng. Fnc. Law, 1023. A .-'
customer has a perfect right to draw all of
his balance at any time, but no more."
"A bark has ro ripbtto allow its deposit
ors tr overdraw, and thus pay out ufor their
checV? the moneys of other depositors prd of
stockholders of the bark." 3 Am. 8- Frg.
Enc.-'L. 834. 17 Am. St. Kp. 377-384. Cnl
ver vs. Marks.
'Trowing a check upon a bark ir which
the drawer has no fords, erd utterirg it, is a
fraud, both on the person to whom it is ne
gotiated and on the bank on which it may
be drawn"; Boone on Banking Sec. 197. The
Court said in Peterson s. Union Natioral
Bank, "It is manifestly impossible for the
officers of a bank to keep ever in memory the
state of each depositor's account. To a cer
tain extent, confidence is reposed in the de- ",
positor that he will not present for payment
a check which he has not provided funds to
meet, and the abuse of that confidence is dis
honest." The court further said: "It is not
easy to see how it is less dishonest in the
holder of a check drawn by another to pre
sent it for payment when he knows the draw- .
er has no funds in the bank to meet it. " His
knowledge makes him a party to the fraud .
of the drawer, and he becomes a willing
assistant therein." 52 Penn. State Reports "
page 206-91 Am. Dec. 147, Peterson vs. Un- -ion
National Bank.
"And the practice of paying overdrafts is
said to have no authority in sound usage or
in law"; Boone on Banking, Sec. 197.
The courts further say: ."The absence "of
deposits was a sufficient notice not to pay
the check, for checks are always supposed to
be drawn on a previous deposit of funds";
Story on Prom. Notes, 641. "Such is the
usual course of business, and the very wide
departure from it, by the bank, in paying
this overdue check out of other funds than
those of the drawer, cannot be justified. It
was attempted to prove a custom to pay over
drafts of solvent dealers with banks, but it
failed; and if it had not failed, such a custom
should be abolished. Our banking institu
tions are generally conducted by boards of
directors, to whom stockholders look for the
proper use and management of the capital
invested."
"If subordinate officers and clerks pay
checks, which are properly drafts on funds
deposited, when there were no funds of the
drawer on deposit, the capital of banks would
be liable to perversion to purposes and in
modes that were never contemplated, either
by the legislature or the stockholders. That
tV- T-rpct'co oTpvirg overd-ra0 hps pre

The conrt agair savs: "The evidence tends
to show thpt the defpndprt hp if his hands
the funds of the bank, which its cashier per
mitted him to overdraw. Tt is immaterial
whether it is pp;d out on a rheck or not. Tf
the drawer of the check hps no funds, the
teller is under no prepter r hlipation" to pav
than if it were a mere verba' reouest. The
overdrawing and the pavtrent of the check
overdrawn are both, wrongful acts. If in
such case the monev of a bank has been mis
appropriated bv its cashier, without the
knowled.ee or consent of its officers, there is
. neither law, nor equity in permitting the re
cipient to retain what he has received with
out right. The plaintiff may consequently
recover the amount shown to baye been
overdrawn." 39 Maine. 489. Franklin Bank
vs. Byram; 63 Am. Dec. 644.
These solemn announcements made by the
courts in all parts of the United States, and
under all circumstances practically the same
wherever the subject came up, are submitted, t
because it is common for bank customers to
ask permission to overdraw their accounts,
and it is difficult to explain to a customer's
mind why he should not overdraw.
On the other hand when the customer can
read it, as above written, in the exact lan
guage delivered by the courts and judges on
the bench while performing their solemn
official duty, it will certainly convince him
why he should not ask to overdraw his ac
count with the bank. The customer should
not ask the bank to overdraw or to grant
some privilege which cannot be extended to
all. To allow free overchecking would be
ruinous. If the customer has not sufficient
funds to deposit to meet the requirements of
his business, he should apply to the bank for
a loan, and arrange a credit with the bank
upon proper security so that the amount
agreed upon can be entered as a deposit to
his credit.

ground caves which are frequent
ly of great extent. John Mac
Gregor, in writing of a bird-nesting
experience he had in Borneo,
says : "Off we went with about a
dozen Dyaks, as the little bronze
aborigines of this part of Borneo
are 'called, for guides. The en-!
trance to the cave was so small J
and so elevated that I had some
difficulty in reaching it. After
we had traveled for some little
distance we came across the in
evitable stream. The ground,
which was to a great extent com
posed of the bed of the stream,
was rough and 'irregular. We
were lighted on our way by torch
es carried by our Dyak guides.
At last we came to a passage that
seemed a veritable eye of a needle,
so hard it was to enter, for it
looked so narrow and confined
that I despaired of ever getting
through it. When I fairly got
squeezed into the breach I could
force myself neither upward nor
downward for that was the di
rection of the passage and there
I was, suspended like Moham
med's coffin or a trussed fowl. By
dint of wriggling, however, I at
. last found myself at the top of the
passage, minus a certain amount
of skin and some buttons from my
tight-fitting khaki coat.
"Still on we jogged for the best
part of a mile, when, lo and be
hold! the caves in which the birds
were breeding, and which were to
be the limits of our underground
wanderings? A faint glimmer of
light could be seen through a rift
in the rocks far above us, and it
was through this small rift, which
was a sealed passage even to the
pyaks themselves, that the birds
passed in their journeys to and
from their nesting grounds. Our
arrival, of course, disturbed what
ever birds'" were there, and they
disappeared as bestthey could
: ly specters.
"These peculiar nests are built
by a species of swallow. The
nests consist of v shallow, cup
shaped cavities, truncated at one
side, where they are attached to
the rocks like brackets to a wall
and forming something like a
two-thirds segment of a circle. It
is' not always easy to get at them,
as they are sometimes glued to
the perpendicular sides of the solid
rocks high overhead, so that the
nest hunters have to scale these
cracks with ropes and poles to get
at them. In substance they con
sist of an elastic, semitransparent
mucilaginous material, which is
said to be a secretion, ormacerat
edfood, from the crops of the birds
themselves.
"As robbing these nests for
commercial'purposes forms a part
of the Dyaks' means of livelihood,
the birds have frequently to build
twice or even .three times during
the season before they are able to
hatch their offspring, and it is
noted that each successive crop of
nests deteriorates in both con
struction and composition. The
nests built at the beginning of the
season are bright and transpar
ent, and are consequently known
on the market as 'white nests.'
But when they are robbed the
next crop is not nearly so pure in
substance." -

Anxious to learn all I could
about the marriage customs of
the people, says the author, I
asked one of my friends : "How
many wives have you?"
. "Three," said he.
"How did you get them'?'1
"Well, I gave a horse for the
first one. She was not very good
looking, so I got her for one horse
Th& second one was good looking
and a good cook, so I paid two
horses for her.- The third was a
beauty. She was a good cook and
she had a fine disposition; I gave
three horses and a gun and a sad
die for her. She was a beauty!"
After narrating this in a busi
nesslike tasnion ne turned to me
and said: "ApawrJ"??. how many
horses did you pay for her?"
"Apawakas" is the Indian name
of my wife. It means White Ante
lope. I was rather taken aback
to have the tables turned upon
me so quickly, but determined to
make the best of the situation, so
I proceeded to tell the Indian the

given of setting up housekeeping,

their laughter any longer. They

After they were able to control
themselves, one of them said:
