THE ART Or THINKING.-TOO much
stress cannot be laid on the fundamental
Importance OF perfect command over
thought. How many a student finds a
lack Of this power the chief hindrance to
progress, How many n page must be
re-read, how many lessons cOnned over
and over to compensate for lapse of
thought In the possession or absence
OF this power over mind lies the chief diff
ference between mental strength and
mental weakness. Some men think as
a child plays with n hammer, striking
little blows, here, there, anywhere, at
any object within reach. The action Of
a strong mind may be compared TO the
stone-breaker's sledge-hammer, dealing
stubborn blows successfully upon one
spot till the hard rock cracks and
yields.
The power TO classify and arrange ideas
in proper order is one that comes more
or less slowly to even the best minds.
In proportion a. this faculty is strength
ened, desultOry and wasted effort di-
minishes.
When the mind acts, it acts to some
purpose, and can begin where il left oil
without going over the whole ground
again TO take up The threads of its rat
iocinatiOus. Concentration and system
are thus seen TO be the chief elements in
the art OF thinking. TO cultivate the
srfit constant watchfulness, to detect the
least wandering, and the immediate ex-
ertion of the will To call back and hold
the mind upon the subject under con
siderstion, should be vigilantly exer-
cised. To secure the latter, the practice
OF analyzing and considering the differ.
ent parts OF subject, first separately,
anu then IN their relations to each other,
is a discipline TO which every younp
mind should be subjected, and which We
are sorry to say is much neglected in
most methods OF instruction.

TOPOGRAPHIC Phenomenon. Miss
Libbie Halbrook, a handsome aud high
ly educated young lady of Albany, has
undertaken to learn the printing art in
the Democrat establishment, and is
making wonderful headway. She has
been so occupied only about a week, and
can now set a column and half In a day,
and with remarkably few errors. Her
typographical brethren consider this an
extraordinary, almost unprecedented
achievement, and il will be regarded so
by printers everywhere. Miss Libbie
graduated from the Albany Collegiate
Institute last year, with high honors,
and is generally spoken OF as one OF the
most brilliant young girls in the place.
Although there is not much probability
OF her ever coming to want through the
absence ofa manly protector, she is wise
~ providing against time of possible
misfortune by learning money-making
and suitable trade. do not know that
Snere are any other lady compositors in
oregon, but there are considerable
number at work in San Francisco, and
many OF them are among the most at

Looking over long list Of American
women who contribute regularly TO cur
rent literature, we find few who are not
known as excellent house keepers, not
withstanding the oft-repeated Islander
THAT literary women are slovenly."
Two pictures present themselves aus |
write. One, a woman addressing a large
concourse Of people, holding them SPELL
bound with her eloquence; the other, a
morning scene, aud the same woman
feeding her chickens, and "looking well
TO the ways of her household
An enthusiastic clergyman, in extoll-
Ing the virtues of Julia Ward Howe,
summed them all up with-"And she
Knows how to tend babies too, knows
all about them"
These are the very women-who do
know; these are the women who make
live, vital, happy homes, and bless man
kind and womankind by living. The
woman WHO lives only TO make bread
mend old clothing, and attend 10 the
material wants Of her household, may
die, and her place can be filed with one
Of the many foreigners who crowd our
