PRODIGIOUS MEMORIES. 40,000 WORDS BY HEART. I Some people are possessed of prodidious memories. A. famous cardinal could write and converse fluently in seventy languages. The historian, Lord Macaulay, could recite complete bopks of poetry without hesitation. One of the most astounding memory feats of all time was performed by a young Corsican student at Padua University. A list of 40,000 words, strung together without any relation to each other, was recited to the student, who promptly repeated every one in exact order. Not content with this feat, he repeated the entire list backwards! You do not need an exceptional memory in order to ensure a. satisfactory smoke—simply ask for Red Shield (Dark) or Blue Shield (Medium), both 1 “toasted to a turn,” and yon will have the very best New Zealand tobacco. Many smokers never enjoy New Zealand tobacco until they met with Red Shield or Blue Shield. Prova their quality m your pipe.
