WONDERFUL FEATS OF MEMORY.
The late Professor Max Muller, in his "Psychological Religion ” says:-—"To those who are not acquainted with the powers of human memory when well disciplined, or rather when not systematically ruined, as ours has been, it may almost seen incredible that so much of the ancient literature of India should have been composed, and should have survived during so many centuries, before it was finally consigned to writing." It is difficult to believe in the wonderful possibilities of human inemory, as our modern psychology does not teach any method of cultivating this faculty, to an extent which we may call miraculous. Now and then we see advertised in literary magazines methods of cultivating memory by artifical means. Oftentimes, they are found to be more tedious than the ordinary methods of repetition. And when one tries the advertised method for some time and fails to accompolish anything he begins to doubt the possibility of training the memory to such an extent that he could perform wonderful feats.
