AN ORATOR’S MEMORY.
It Sometimes Troubles Him, as Mr. Depew
Can Testify.
Few of our greater orators have had
good verbal memory. Mr. Depew com-
plains that it is the most embarrassing
of his intellectual weaknesses, with a
memory which is marvelous for events,
and which carries in great detail things
which have happened years ago; never-
theless Depew finds it a very severe,
sometimes an almost impossible intel-
lectual task, to commit even brief pas-
sages to memory. Conkling’s verbal
memory was not. at least at all times,
to be depended upon, although some of
his speeches he committed upon three or
four readings of them. William H.
Seward had a marvelous verbal memory;
having written a speech it was firmly
fixed in his mind after one reading, and
that capacity President Cleveland also
possesses.
The perfect preparations of a speech
was, in Wendell Phillip’s view, that one
in which the mental operations were as-
sisted in no way by outside aid. Only
two or three times in his life did he pre-
pare with pen and paper an address, and
he always felt that these two or three
speeches were the poorest of his efforts.
He was constantly studying the art of
oratory. In his daily walk or in his
reading, metaphors and similes were
suggested, which he tucked away in his
memory, and he even studied action as
he watched the muscular movement of
men whom he saw in public places.
He believed that a perfect speech could
be prepared after intense mental con-
centration. Of course the mind must
first be fortified by such reading as pro-
vided facts. Having thus saturated his
mind with information, he would fre-
quently lie extended for hours upon his
sofa with his eyes closed making mental
arrangement of the address. In fact, he
used to write his speeches mentally, as
Victor Hugo is said to have written some
of his poems. A speech thus prepared
Phillips thought was always at the com-
mand of the speaker. It might vary
upon every delivery in phraseology. It
might be longer at one time than at an-
other. but it would always be practically
the same speech.
This method of preparation explains
what has been a mystery to many per-
son's. The several reports of his famous
lecture on, “The Lost Arts” differ in
phraseology and even in arrangement.
His oration upon Daniel O’Connell has
been printed by different publishers, no
two of them agreeing either in form or
diction, and yet the speech is practically
the same. Only one of his orations is
left exactly as he delivered it, for he
only delivered it once. That was the
Phi Beta Kappa oration at Harvard a
few years before his death. Mr. Phil-
lips never read one of his speeches in
print, and therefore never revised one.
He was firmly of the belief that the
printed thought and the Spoken thought
should be expressed in different form,
and that the master of one form could
not be the master of the other.
FOR RELICS OF ADAM AND EVE.
The Garden of Eden Being Carefully Ex«
plored by an American Scientist.
The spade of the explorer has at last
been struck into the historic soil of the
Garden of Eden. At last the scientist
and archaeologist have begun to study
the famous plateau which has long been
agreed upon as the undoubted location
of the Paradise of the Bible.
Perhaps there is no more wonderful
spot on earth than the plateau—the real
Garden of Eden. As the recognized
cradle of the human race,.it is of over-
whelming interest, but it is of the very
utmost interest, too, to the scientist and
naturalist for entirely difl‘erent reasons.
From this remote and almost inaccessi-
ble corner of the earth, for instance,
came originally nearly every one of our
domestic animals. ’
The Bible says, in the Book of Gene-
sis: “The Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden.” And, indeed, if
ever there was a spot which seemed to
have been specially created and clothed
with marvelous richness of foliage, of
climate, and of diverse species of birds
and beasts, with its verdant valleys and
luxurious plains, framed by an encir-
cling range of snowy mountain peaks,
it is the wonderful Vale of Cashmere.
Here it was that Adam was created—
the first man. And here, too, Eve was
created as his companion. The serpent
tempted them and sin entered the world
—all in the beautiful earthly garden spot
of the Vale of Cashmere.
Little, very little, has been known of
the curious people who live on this great
plateau. And now that the exprorer has
begun work among them the possibilities
of the work of research and discovery
are almost boundless.
Who can foretell what may not de-
velop in digging in the very ground
where Adam and Eve trod? Who can
say but that here, in this divine garden
spot, the Greater may not have left
relics of the first man and woman, to be
carefully preserved for the explorers of
the year 18L_____
‘ The \Vheel. ,
The discovery and progressive im-
provement of the bicycle is of more im-
portance to mankind than all the victor-
ies and defeats of Napoleon, with the
first and second Punic wars and any
number of other clamorous historic con-
' flicts thrown in.
It,is not only in the first steps of its
progress, though it has made its way
around the world, and is everywhere ex-
tending its field of use with marvelous
rapidity. All European countries use
it, and it has spun over the Asian bor-
der, bewildering the leisurely and sedate
Orientals with its lightness and bright-
ness and speed, as of gazelles and dro-
medaries, and it is quite possible that
the Grand Turk and the Sheik ul Islam
may in no long time adopt them, not
only in private use, but in their cere-
monial processions, giving them oflicial
and religious sanction and encouraging
the faithful to follow their example.
“The bicycle gives people the best
exercise in the world,” said the doctor.
“But I can’t afford to ride a. bicycle.”
“Oh. you don’t need to ride them.”

MA TALK WITH THE DOCTOR.
He Tells a. Class of Girls How to Live and
' Be Beautiful.
“Get up at 5 o’clock and then follow
the example of your big dog that I saw
in the hall just now,” said the gruff old
doctor. ‘
“L137 dog?"
“Yes, your dog. See what he does
when he gets up, and you do the
same.”
“Mercy! What does he do?” asked
the mystified girl in the new spring
bonnet.
“He shakes himself and then runs
into the air,” answered the gruff doctor.
“He scurries about and runs up and
down the street. Then he looks out for
a good, long drink of water and does a.
great deal of barking to get his lungs in
good order, and all before breakfast.
Then what an appetite he brings for his
breakfast! There is nothing like a dog
for giving you a hint for the improve-
ment of your health. You get up at 5
and go out fora brisk walk, after a drink
of fresh water. Go and look at the
grass. The green is good for the eyes
and the smell of the damp earth is the
best appetizer in the world.”
“Well, is that all you would do for
your complexion?” asked the new spring
bonnet girl.
“Certainly not,” answered the gruff
doctor. “The face requires as much at-
tention as the stomach. If your skin
looks dull and flabby, as this yormg
lady‘s does no v, you may know it needs
a tonic.” “
“That’s what I do need,” interjected
the languid girl.
' “Yes. IV ell. in that case the trouble
is that the under skin becomes relaxed
and the outer skin falls into lines or
wrinkles. The best tonic is one part of
Holland gin to two parts of soft water.
Never rub your face with a coarse towel.
Wipe your face under the eyes toward
the nose and from the chin upward.
This will prevent crows’ feet, which,
you know, of course, men don’t like.”
“Oh, indeed, have we just got to
please the men?” asked the new spring
bonnet girl, with a toss of her head
that nearly threw off one of the velvet
bows.
“Certainly. You know what men ad-
mire, don’t you! The trinity? Hair,
teeth and complexion. And you might
throw in a graceful walk and sweet
voice. Then top it off with a pleasant
expression.”
“How can I get all these, doctor?”
asked the languid girl, with a smile.
“We’ll begin with the expression,” .
answered the gruff doctor. “Cultivate
a cheerful disposition. Don’t be fretful,
impatient or fault finding. They all
disfigure the face and derange the nerv-
ous system.” '
“Whoever heard anything like that?”
muttered the spring bonnet girl. “Fret-
ful, indeed. Who’s fretful, I should
like to know? I hate doctors, any
way.” .
“You know, doctor, we get tan and
freckles if we go out in the air so much,
on bicycles or on foot,” objected the
languid girl.
“Freckles and tan are not the worst
things in the world,” returned the grufi
doctor. “But if you want to get rid of
them, you can do it, without waiting for
the winter. Take twO parts of lemon
juice and one part of Jamaica rum, mix
them and apply them gently to the face
with a soft sponge several times during
the day, and again just before you get
into that “cute’ bed of yours, as you
call it.”
“Can’t we use face powder, doctor?”
asked the spring bonnet girl.
“You can, and if it is good it will not
do you any harm,” was the rather un-
expected answer of the grufi doctor.
“Good powder gives a soft, cool look to
the skin and makes you feel comfort-
able. You are a brunette,” to the lan-
guid girl, “and you should use brunette
powder. Never try to make your face
white with powder. It has a bad eifect
on the beholder.”-
“What about the teeth?"
“If you do not care for your teeth,
you do not deserve to have them, They
should be cleaned both night and morn-
ing, and take care the brush is not too
stiff. Teeth are not made of granite.
Once a week use castile soap and pre-
pared chalk, and on the other days use
lukewarm water alone.”
TWO SIDES TO THE STORY.
A Schoolboy Who Made an Original 0!)-
‘servation About George \Vashington.
A certain schoolmaster occasionally
compares the achievements of his pupils
with the work of noted men in their
boyhood days, much to the scholar’s dis-
advantage.
“Now, John, have you solved the
problem?” asked the teacher the other
day.
“No, sir,” replied the boy; “I can’t.”
“How old are you, John?”
“Sixteen,” was the answer.
“Sixteen!” repeated the instructor.
"Sixteen, and can’t solve a simple prob‘
lem like that! Why, sir, at your ago,
George Washington was surveying the
estate of Lord Fairfax.”
The pupil looked thoughtful, but made
no reply.
After the class was dismissed a. class-
mate inquired of him if Washington
ever did anything else remarkable when
he was 16.
“I don’t know,” responded the boy.
“He was a surveyor when he was as old
as I am, and when he was as old as our
teacher he was President of the United
States.”—Philadelphia Call.

porter?” said the kindly gentleman.
“Two yeah, sah.”
“And still working?”
“Yaas, indeed.”

BOSS CROKER IN . SOCIETY.
His Houses Suggest the Question, “Where
Did Re Get Them?”
Ex-Boss Crokerof Tammany Hall is
now in dear old London and dispatches
say he is devoting much time to society.
He gives numerous dinner parties and
has a box at the Opera.
The spacious house which he has rent-
ed for the London season must naturally
take rank henceforth among the historic
residences of the British capital.
The house is pointed out to sightseers
from all quarters of the globe as the
erstwhile home of the great Duke of
Wellington; 139 Piccadilly is reverently
gazed at as the scene of Byronic revels,
and Thomas Carlyle’s house in Cheyne
rowis the object of devout pilgrimage.
London boasts a society which under-
takes the duty of placing commemora-
tive tablets on houses with which any
notable man in politics, literature or
art has been prominently associated.
An irreverent Englishman suggests tLat

been gathered to his fathers, a tablet
on 9 Palace Gate with some such inscrip-
tion as this:
Richard Croker
resided here
during the summer of 1895
while he transferred
the
Tammany boodle
to the
British bookmaker.
The house and its surroundings are
marked by an elegance and exclusive-
ness which must appeal strongly to the
eclectic tastes of Mr. Croker. If he
were anxious to patronize mere fashion-
able society and to throw himself into
the giddy world of London frivolit-y he
might have pitched his Wigwam in Bel-
gravia or Mayfair. But Kensifigton,
while being select in a social sense; has
always possessed a special attraction for
the elite of the artistic and literary
world, and the vicinity of Palace Gate
bears in an especial manner the hall-
mark of culture.
Immediately opposite N o. 9 stands the
mansion of Sir John Millais, Baronet,
England’s greatest living portrait paint-
er; a. few doors down Herbert Spencer,
of philosophic fame, resideswhen he is
in London; around the corner Henry
J ames’s London house is situated; while
several eminent members of the British
civil service, retired viceroys and other
congenial spirits dwell in the immediate
neighborhood.
Palace Gate is a broad, quiet thorough.
fare, leading to Kensington Gardens,
and it derives its first name from Ken-
sington Palace. which is close by. Its

most noted domestic architect of the
Victorian era—and they are of a large,
substantial pattern, faced with stone.
Their rent, unfurnished, would'oe about
£600 ($3,000) a. year, but, as Mr. Croker
has taken No. 9 furnished, it must cost
him between £30 (8150) and £40 ($200)
a. week.
Considerable curiosity has been
aroused here over an advertisement
which has just appeared in the news-"

of a prominent real estate firm. It
says:
“Wealthy American wishes to pur-
