Taaaa Cerateaai Btarrcl. Maretos tells as that during his trav els over Europe he met the "marvel of aaarvels" at Padua. The marvel in faestkm was a young Corsican who was In the city for the purpose of pur eeing his studies at the university. Ifaretus. having heard that the young atan was gifted with an extraordinary anemory, desired to put the student to the test. The person who had Informed the traveler concerning the wonderful re tentireness of the young Corsican's anemory declared that he was so gifted In that faculty that he could repeat as many as 36,000 words If read over to him but once. Maretus and three dis tinguished Venetians agreed to test the accuracy of the statement A commit tee visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub aalt to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter aflnable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever. The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read off he looked ap cheerfully and repeated the whole of .the uninteresting catalogue of words without a single fault. Then to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word he went through the list backward. When that task was finished he took each alter nate word first, third, fifth, etc. and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were in toe .presence of the most wonderful prodigy of memory that the world had erer produced.

To watch a diver while he is dressing or divesting himself of his professional apparel Is not only to be taught a les son In the art. of taking things easily, but also impresses one with the fact that the diver's Is the only occupation under the sun In which- a tin can Is a toilet requisite. The can in question isnot an orna mental object such as a silver backed hairbrush Is or a set of manicure in struments, but the diver's valet needs It In his business as much as any fop needs either of the silver Implements, for It Is In this battered old tin that the valet drops the thumbscrews that keep the rubber cloth of the diving suit confined in place between the outer and inner plates of the cuirass like shell the diver wears over his shoulders and across his breast. There they remain until the diver is ready to dress again, when the valet carefully picks them out of the tin and screws them back In place. The operation of dressing a diver re quires two distinct movements, one taking place on the deck of the vessel or platform from which be is working, the other at the head of the ladder on which the diver descends to the depths below. It-Is a business that requires a good deal of time, for the diver's life depends on jupt how carefully each of the several things are done, and no one sacrifices thoroughness to speed. The diver always has a comfortable place to sit on before he begins remov ing his shoes, after which he draws on a long pair of heavy woolen stockings over the legs of trousers. Over these again he pulls on another' pair of trousers, and then he draws on the lower part of his diving suit proper. After that Is done he Is in the hands of his valet who Is also the man who tends the air pipe and signal rope after the diver has descended to the bottom of the sea. One of Jhe curiosities of this opera tion Is the Immobility of the man who Is being dressed. He sits perfectly still with his hands clasped between bis knees, rarely speaking, his eyes fixed on some distant point as though ho were absorbed in considering somo weighty problem. Meanwhile the valet has been draw ing the rubber suit up on the diver's arms and part way up over his chest and then be slips down over bis head the steel cuirass that keeps the pres sure of the water away from his chest and also serves to support the weight of the copper helmet on his shoulders. At this point In the operation the tin can comes Into use, and the valet takes from it the brass thumbscrews that confine the upper edges of the diving suit between the cuirass and the four steel bands that are fastened outside of It Then the valet puts a black silk skullcap on the diver's head, and the diver waddles over to the head of the ladder after a pair of heavy rubber bands are slipped over the rubber cuffs of the suit for the diver works with bared hands. Then come the final touches of the costume, which are always made as near the head of the ladder as possible, for these operations consist of putting on the weighted shoes, the weigbted breast belt and the copper helmet. The diver slips his feet Into the shoes of cast Iron, and bis valet and another helper buckle them around his instep. Then he bends down, resting bis arms on the head of the ladder, while the belt on which are fastened great thick squares of lead. Is buckled around his breast and across his shoulders. The signal cord Is fastened to the breastplate with leather thongs, and then the signal Is given to the man at the air pump to "work lively," which means that he Is to send the wheel .around at a much faster pace than he does when the diver Is at work, this being done to get a good current of air passing through the pipe. Least time of all does it take to put the helmet on, for It Is dropped into place, and after one half turn the thing Is done. Down goes the grotesque figure be low the surface of the water, up from the helmet comes a constant stream of air bubbles, and If the diver Is not working at too great a depth you can presently hear the click of his toos ringing away at work. New York Press. Aa Heal Bath. An ideal combination is to soap the body all over, using tepid water before plunging Into a cold bath. But there are many good folks who cannot face a cold bath daily and who after taking one are apt to be cold and shivering all the day through. For these the best plan is, after a warm bath, to sponge the throat and chest with cold water, which is most stimulating and espe cially so where the bather suffers from chronic colds. To insist on a cold bath Is just as unwise as to have a bath that Is too warm and to remain In It too long. That Is the more general mistake. Her 'Ward ef Heaer. "Don't you love me?"

Is of vol canic origin, being a tracbytle lava which baa-been, rendered! light by the escape of gases when In a molten state. It Is found on most of the shores of the Tyrhenlan aea and elsewhere, but Is at present almost exclusively obtained from the little Island of UparL Most of the volcanoes of LIparl have ejected pumaceoua rocks, but the best stone Id all the product of one mountain, Monti Chlrica, nearly 000 feet In height with Its two accessory craters. Ths district In which the pumice Is excavat ed covers an area of three square miles. It has been calculated that about 1,008 hands are engaged In this Industry, 608 of whom are employed In extricating the mineral. Pumice Is brought to the surface In large blocks or In baskets and Is car ried thus either to the neighboring vil lage or to the seashore to be taken there In boats. The supply Is said to be practically Inexhaustible. Pumice Is used not merely for scouring and cleansing purposes, but also for polish ing In numerous trades; hence the fact mat the powdered pumice exported ex ceeds In weight the block pumice. Be tween twenty and thirty merchants an engaged In the pumice trade on the Island. London News. Mr. BIrrell's story about the little ragamuffin In a church school stirred a clerical correspondent to write a let ter wherein he spoke of ragamuffins as "boys who have more rags than muffins." No doubt that was not meant to be taken seriously from the etymolog ical point of view. The muffin of the word has puzzled many. "Ragamuf fin," says Dr. Johnson, "is from 'rag.' and I know not what else." According to Dr. Brewer the word means a rag ged "muff" or "muffin" (a spiritless fellow). But the original Ragamoffy seems to have been a demon In certain old mystery plays, whose name was probably just high sounding nonsense. It Is curious, however, that "the rag man" Is an old name for the devil. London Chronicle. Ceatradlctleaa. "The more the merrier." Not so. One band is enough In a purse.

"Yes," answered Mr. Dustin Stax, "it Is a wise compensation. "When a man loses his fortune he saves the time he used to spend shaking hands and lis tening to bard luck stories and gets a chance to make another." Washing ton Star.
