3. SOMETIMES THE FIRST TWO CONSONANTS OF A WORD ARE USED.

Sheridan's famous ride occurred in 1864. In dates of the last and
present century it is usual to indicate the last two figures of the
date. 64, therefore, is all we need express. Formula: Sheridan's ride in
1864--(64) {Ch}ee{r}s; or, (64) {Sh}e{r}idan. The Pennsylvania Whisky
Rebellion took place in 1794; or, (94) {B}{r}ewery.

4. SOMETIMES THE FIRST AND LAST CONSONANTS OF A WORD ARE USED, AND
SOMETIMES TWO CONSONANTS IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORD.

These devices are rarely resorted to, but if ever used, they must be
thoroughly assimilated. Battle of Waterloo was fought in 1815; 15 may be
found in the _t_ and _l_ of (15) Wa{t}er{l}oo. Herbert Spencer was born,
as we have already seen, in 1820. The 20 may be found in the _n_ and _c_
of Spe{n}{c}er.

5. Never, on any account, use the same word to express two different
dates; as, its first two consonants for one date and its two middle, or
its first and last consonants, to express another date.

6. _Never fail to carefully analyse the relations between the fact or
event and its date or number word._

SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS HEREAFTER NAMED, ALL DATES AND NUMBERS SHOULD
BE EXACTLY EXPRESSED IN THE DATE OR NUMBER WORDS.

Alexander the Great was born 356 B.C. and died in a drunken debauch
323 B.C. His birth: (3) {M}acedonia's (5) A{l}exander a (6) {Ch}ild. His
death: A (3) {M}acedonian's (2) I{n}ebriation (3) {M}ortal. Several
mnemonists of the old school have for the past forty years used the
phrase "Rise, Sire," to express the date of the creation of the world,
which according to the accepted biblical chronology took place 4004 B.C.
But that phrase, proper enough in the mouths of the sons of Noah, when
they found their father lying on the ground in a fit of intoxication,
could have no pertinence when applied to the Creator, to the creation
in general, or to the creation of this w
