There are few exclamations more
often made by ordinary persons than
this one. ;

number of person who are positively ;
coining money from their profession.
There are sovoral professors in New
York overrun with pupils who wish to
improve defective memories and who
aro willing to pay the person who will
supply tho method. Each of theso
professora has a system of his own,
and each of them savagely insist that
his is tho only suro system.
Phil Armour, the great Chicago pork
packer, is said to have remarked that
a good memory is nocessary to ono
who wishes to succeed. This is, pur-
haps, a trifle strong and yot there is (
no lack of evidence to support the
statement. Armour, himself, is an ex-
ample of what a good momory can do. .
Ue is as wonderful in his time as Car- '
dinal Mezzofantl was in his. Ho is j
said to carry tho smallest detail of hi '
immense business in his head, lie
can remember the dato as well as tho .
sum of small business transactions. ;
Ho knows tho names of pretty nearly j
all of his army of employes. After tho
building of the addition to his great j
establishment in t Chicago he aston-
bhod a circle of friends by rattling off-1
hand the number of bricks, car-loads
of sand, feet of Umber, etc., etc, that
used in the construction. Ar- J

mour's gift is a natural one. He has
never cultivated it, but the demands
of his business have unquestionably
kept his powers of memory in active
training.

is another man gifted with an extraor-,
dinary memory. Ho needs no books
to carry his transactions in, although,
of course, ho uses them. With him,
too, retontiveness is a natural gift Ho
remembers every thing that he wants
to remember, but says frankly he
doesn't know how he docs it H. also
possesses tho gift of not remembering
things he doos not wish to remember.
But then that gift is not rare.
In another line of business is John

then into fractions of a cent withouj

would have done. It was the same
faculty that made Gladstone so suc
cessful a Chancellor of the English
Exchequer.
Roscoe Conkling was a man of won
derful memory. Whether dealing in
figures, in legal argument, or quoting
j from tjte early English poets, ho called
junu bcuujiuk wiiuuui cuuri turn
without previous thought the right
thing at the right time.
Congressman Sam Cox has also a
retuarkablo memory, especinllv for
things litorary, and this has stood him
in good stead in debate in Congress,
for his oppononts never know when
the genial jester is about to double
them up with pomothing from
Shakespeare, the Koran, Bobby Burns,
the Bible ox some old hymn-book. It
is his memory and his wise study that
enable him to successfully compete in
a running impromptu debate. It it:
charged that his memory trips some
times. In tho fishery debate last win
ter he ran in this queer verse:
Ye tconsters of the briny deep.
Your Matter's name upraise;
Up from the sends yo codlings creep,
Aad was; your tall always.
Some one interested in tho verse
looked it up and found it in an old
English hymn-book, but insisted that
the following was tho correct copy:
Ye montters of the briny deep,
Yuur Matter's praisos shout.
Up from the sands ye (rollings creep.
Ami wngyourls U about!
There xrus a. row over it, and which
was tho best and most correct version
has not been settled. So Cox's memo
ry may have been all right

Henry George can quote political
economy of the past and present by
tho yard without reference to their
books, and his one-timo friend. Dr.
McGlynn, has an almost equally good
memory. Dr. Talmago goes around
continually with a few sermons, a
lecture or two, and probably a mag
azine artlclo in his head; but his mem
ory is such that ho stores each away
in somo subdivision, and they come out
all right.
These men frankly admit that a good
memory is invaluable.
Among actors a rotcntivo momory
is necessary or a "good study." as
the veteran assistant secretary of the
Actors' Fund, Ben Baker, has it. But
it is not so necessary now in tho time
of combination, when tho samo com-
pany plays the samo piece for a sea
son. In tho old days of stock com
panies when it was common to pre
sent a farce, a comedy and a tragedy
all in one night, and to change the
bill nightly, a good memory was an
absoluto necessity. No actor can suc-
"f1 wout it. for it is no uncommon
thing for a play to be put on at a fow
hours' notice.
Lester Wallack, in his recollections
of the stage, attributes much of his
success to the fact that ho possessed a
remarkable memory.
E, L Davenport had a marvelous
degree of retontiveness and Fanny
Dvcnpor: has inherited the gift.
JohnB. Swift, who. after Forrest, was
the greatest Rolla who ever trod the
boards, possessed the same faculty;
so did John Henderson, one of the
favorite tragedians of the Old Bowery;
o did William E. Burton, the great
comedian; and o did John McCuUougn
before his momory gave way, axd so
did Frank Barry, who is still above.

waiter in an up-town hotel who can
carry a scoro of complicated orders in
his head at ono time, and ho has never
been known to make a mistake in car
rying them into execution. There is a
laundryman in Brooklyn, a Scotch
man, who does a large business, and
who has never adopted tho check sys
tem in vogue with Chinese laundry
men. He relies entirely upon his
memory, and yet makes no mistakes.
He claims to havo no private mark,
and never gives bis customers any
mark. How he docs it no one knows.
Ue says he doesn't know himself.
Instances of the possession of this
gift might bo multiplied. Those cited,
however, are enough to show that a

A medical missionary society ha

fact that tho forty-thrco students in

different denominations.
When Mr. Moody was in London
a number of young men were commis
sioned to follow up the converts and
see that they remained true to their
profession. Two of the committee
were at the Bible school, and said that
they got the names of 45.000 convert,
made in London.
In the interest of both parents and
children, we protest against tho cram
ming system in our public s-choola. If
matters were rightly managed, all tho
study might be confined to tchool
hours, and our boys and girls might
havo tho balance of the day for rest or
play, or other employment, which
would change if it did not entirely re
lievo tho strain. Christian Standard.
The Methodist Book Concern will
