Science Notes
BY WILLIAM G. HAYNES.
THE SCIENCE OF MEMORIZING.
Now, is there not a scientific way of
remembering such a difficult thing as
a name? Salesmen need to know how
to do this more than any other group
of people, unless it be politicians. This
is the way is may be done. When you
meet Mr. Brewer, get the name clear
ly, speak it clearly, fasten your mind
upon it. That will make the impres
sion deep. Next say it to yourself
while you look at the man’s eyes, face,
form, and when you hear him speak
and see him walk. This will give you
many pathways leading into the im
pression. After he has left you, re
call his name a few times during the
next twenty minutes. This will fix
his name so that you will know him
anywhere you may see him, and so
that you can call him by name almost
the very minute after you catch a
glimpse of him.
The same method may be applied in
the learntng of other things that must
be memorized, and with equal success.
Attend with all your will power to the
thing you wish to remember, repeat it
several times and after intervals of
rest, and, lastly, associate it with as
many of your other ideas as you can.
This is the science of memorizing.
The adult brain Is criss-crossed in
thousands of directions by pathways
such as we have described. During
all our waking hours, the mind travels
through these, from one to another,
choosing for itself which course to
take at every point of crossing. Its
movements are irregular, consisting
of stops and flights, the stops occur
ring in the idea impressions, and the
flights, along the pathway between im
pressions. The amount of time spent
at each stop varies, but probably av
erages about three or four seconds.—
The Spatula.
COFFEE A FOOD.
Coffee performs two functions as a
food. A food is any substance which,
when taken into the alimentary canal
and absorbed into the blood, is used
for building up the body tissues, that
is, the organism, or for the production
of heat and energy, or for bringing
about conditions favorable for the pro
duction of heat and energy. Coffee
does not perform the first function to
any marked degree, that is of build
ing up the body organism. Coffee pro
duces—on account of its percentage
of fat or oil which constitutes about
one-eighth of the total weight of the
coffee—to that extent it furnishes a
substance capable of being burned in
the body and produces heat and ener
yg. In addition to that, however, cof
fee renders the body capable of con
suming and assimilating more nitro
genous food such as meat than it oth
erwise would consume or make avail
able, and of using this meat or pro
teid or nitrogenous food in the produc
tion of heat and energy, and in this
way it increases the amount of avail
able energy that can be obtained from
a given quantity of food.—The Spat
ula.
The above clipping was taken from
a current pharmaceutical journal, and
is interesting because it presents cor
fee in a light that is little thought of.
For once it is not depicted as the
enemy of man and sleep and nerves.
The editor of this column would
like to receive the opinions of some of
its readers upon the preceding ab
stract. It is taken for granted that
coffee as mentioned here applies to
the aqueous extract that appears at so
many breakfast tables every morning.
One or two points that might be de
serving of comment are, first, whether
a sufficient quantity of the oil or fat
of coffee Is extracted by the hot water
to be of benefit to the consumer of
the liquid extract; and, secondly,
whether the food value of coffee is, or
is not far overbalanced by the injur
ious effects of the caffeine.
"When first he was married, he used
to boast that his wife had a way of
her own."
"Well?"
“Now he complains that she has her
own way.”—Judge.
I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS ALL
RIGHT.
A bunch of young fellows were out
on a lark, and while standing on the
corner making hilarious remarks
about themselves and everybody else
that passed by, a little scene took
place that put a dampier on their friv
olity. In the midst of their revelry a
man came staggering along. He was
ragged, red faced and despondent.
Instantly the gang began to jeer at
him and make light remarks. One of
the boys in the crowd suddenly dis
covered that the subject of ridicule
was an old friend of his father. He
had known him when a boy in a
country town as a prosperous mer
chant. Reverses had made a wreck
of the fellow and he was sliding down
hill about a fast as he could go. Sud
denly the young fellow who had
known him in his boyhood raised his
hand and stopped his companions
from making any further remarks.
| Then he said:
Hold on boys, don’t ridicule Casey
Because he is clear down and out;
Don’t twit and laugh at his manner,
His rags and his reeling about.
The clothes he is wearing are tattered
And his face is a terrible sight,
But, boys, spread the mantle of kind
ness,
I knew him when he was all right.
Years ago in a town called Ulysses
Pat Casey was one of the men
Who made business hum with a spirit,
He was happy and prosperous then.
But fate took his money and savings,
Death claimed his w'ife Maggie one
night,
So, boys, have a heart for old Casey,
I knew him when he was all right.
The bunch of young fellows stood
silent,
With heads bowed to indicate
shame;
They were sorry they jeered at old
Casey,
Or said ought that would injure his
name.
“Come, Casey, we’re for you, old
timer,
You’re good for some twenty years
more,"
Said a lad', as he gave him a five-spot,
And the others showered silver ga
lore.
The face of Pat now w>as a study,
As hie glared at the silver and bills;
He thought sure at first he was
dreaming,
And he knew he had fever and
chills.
A lump in his throat almost choked
him,
As he heartily thanked the young
men
And swore in their presence that eve
ning
He’d never touch liquor again.
It’s a lesson we all should remember,
For fate is a wily old fox;
Today you may be worth thousands,
And tomorrow knocked out of the
box.
Be careful in chiding a person,
For we are all equal In might,
And some one can say of each brother
1 knew him when he was all right.
—Tanner’s Magazine.
ENCOURAGING.
"Here, my dear,” said the husband,
producing his purse; “here’s fifty dol
lars I won playing cards in the smok
ing room last night. You may have it
to buy that dress you wanted.”
Reluctantly the conscientious wife
took the money, then, said, with an ex
pression of rigid rectitude:
“I simply shudder at the thought of
using money gained in such a way.
Henry, promise me that after you have
won enough for me to buy the hat to
go with the dress you will never touch
those awful cards. I don’t want my
husband to become a gambler."—To

Good Cookies.
Two cups of sugar, one cup of but
ter, cream well. Add three well beat
en eggs, one cup of thick sour cream,
one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
cream, one nutmeg, one pinch of salt;
add enough flour so they will roll eas
ily; set in refrigerator or cool place
over night. In morning roll very thin
and bake in quick oven.
MRS. J. W. WALLACE.
Humbled.
Mrs. Mellen did not wish to offend
her new cook.
“John,” she said to the man servant,
“can you find out, without asking the
cook, whether the tinned salmon was
all eaten last night? You see, I don’t
wish to ask her, because she may
have eaten it, and then she would feel
uncomfortable,” added the good soul.
“If you please, ma’am,” replied the
man, “the new cook has eaten the
tinned salmon, and if you was to say
anything to her you couldn’t make her
feel any more uncomfortable than she
is."—Christian Register.
Man’s Part.
“Woman,” says Dr. Anna Shaw,
"ever has been man’s companion,
sharing his exile, espousing his cause,
and buckling on his armour.” And
man ever has been woman’s compan
ion, sharing her happiness, espousing
her when she would have him, and
buttoning her up the back.”—Boston
