In an article about a man with a
great memory a writer in tlie Anierl
%u Magazine says:
"Any test whic h trains your mind to
really see thliyis at a quick glance will
help a Int. One of the best tests 1
kuow is to stand in front of the show
window of a store and glance quickly
at all the articles in the window and
then turn awav and see how many you
cau remember. Practice will uiake any
one pretty adept at this.
"Look at the pa.«e:iws opposite you
In a street tar. Then shut your eyes
and try t<; visualize each one of them.
Glance at the advertising placards over
their heads. Close your eyes and see
how many \ou cau remember. All
these tliiugs will help you In remem
bering a man's features from a quick
glance. It would be lmpoiite and usu
ally Impossible to stand and stare in a
man's face for three or four minutes.
"Meet all the people you can. Watch
them. Keep lists of their names. Sit
down at uigbt and check up the people
you have met that day. See how clear

The Takir.g of Umbrage.
Barries famous story in "When a
Ainu's Single" about tae "tak'ng of

paper in England it was in 1S04, at
the time of the fatuous Seven Days'
war waged by Austria and Germany
on Denmark, and this journalist, know
ing how late news was dealt with at
I the office of a certain other paper, con
trived that a message should reach
that paper early one morning announc
ing, under the heading of "The War In
Denmark." "The Enemy Have Taken
Umbrage." "Umbrage" was given as
a place in the North sea, and fuil par
ticulars about It were supplied. The
plot succeeded, the momentous news
item was published. n:;d tlie "taking
of Umbrage" was the talk of the town
