ise fine saddle and race horses, many of which are bays, might not think of the analytic phrases, "{T}ea{ch}e{r} o{f} {sh}owy {b}ay{s}," or "{T}ea{ch}e{r} o{f} a {sh}owy {p}a{c}e." The estimated number of horses in the world is 58,576,322. Those who do not know how cruelly coachmen often treat the horses under their charge might not think of the analytic phrase, "Wi{l}l {f}ee{l} {c}oa{ch}{m}e{n} {n}ow." The Yellowstone National Park contains 2,294,740 acres. One who does not know that this park was recently created, might not think of the analytic phrase, "O{n}e {N}ew {P}a{r}{k} a{r}o{s}e." The U. S. Government paid out in the year 1865 the sum of $1,297,555,324. If one wished to remember the exact figures, he could easily find an analytic phrase, if he thinks of the act of delivering or handing over the money, as "{Th}ey u{n}{p}a{ck} {l}oya{l}ly a{l}l {m}o{n}ey he{r}e." If any analytic phrase is long or awkwardly constructed, it is very easy to memorise it by the analytic-synthetic method; as (1) They unpack. (2) They unpack _money_. (3) They unpack money _here_. (4) They unpack _all_ money here. (5) They unpack _loyally_ all money here. The number of letters delivered in Great Britain during the postal year of 1881-82 was 1,280,636,200. If the student knows that the Central Post Office of London is a very large building, he could instantly find the analytic phrase, "Wi{th}i{n} o{f}fi{c}e hu{g}e {m}u{ch} {n}ew{s} we {s}ee." The amount lost annually by fire in the United States is estimated at $112,853,784. If we do not go outside of the subject matter of losses by fire, we shall readily find an analytic phrase by means of which we can certainly remember that large number of dollars--"A {d}eb{t} o{n} {f}{l}a{m}i{ng} {f}i{r}e." There are 653,020 Freemasons in U. S. A. Those who know what is meant by the phrase, "From labor to refreshment," in the masonic ritual, will at once translate those figures into the analytic phrase, "{J}o{l}ly {M}a{s}o{n}{s}." There are 591,800 Odd Fellows in the United States. Notice if you can find figures to translate "Odd" or "Fellows," or any other fact pertaining to the Order, and you have the analytic phrase, "A{l}l ha{p}py 'O{d}d' {f}a{c}e{s}." There have been granted 428,212 patents in the United States. Can you find any word pertaining to patents in those figures? "We he{r}e i{n}{v}e{n}{t} a{n}ew." The number of Indians in the United States is estimated as 241,329.
