The Art OF Thinking.

One of the best modes of improving
the act of thinking is to think over
some subject before reading upon it,
and then observe after what manner
IL has occurred to the mind of some
great master; you will then observe
whether you have been too rash or too
timid; what you have ommitted and
n what YOU have exceeded; and by
ibis process you will insensibly catch
;he manner in which great mind
views a great question. 1t is right to
study; not only to think when any ex-
raordinary incident provokes you to
;hink, but from time to time to riview
what has passed. to dwell upon it, and
see what trains of thought voluntarily
present themselves TO your mind.
1t is most superior habit in some
minds to refer all the particular truth S
which strike them to other mere geni-
al truths, so that their knowledge is
beautifully methodized and particu-
lar truth at once calls up the general
truth. This kind of understanding
has an immense and decided superior
ity over those confused heads in which
one fact is piled upon another without
any attempt at classification or ar
rangement. Some men read with q
pen in their hand and commit to paper
any new thought which strikes them;
others trust to chance for its appear.

method in the understanding must,
suppose depend great deal upon the
understanding In question. Some
men can do nothing without prepare

fountains, others reservoirs. "-Ou,

How Whaling Ships Winter in the
Ar cite.

Ar cite.
In the fall, just before it gets SO cold
that the ice forms, the ships huddle
together, and each puts down two
anchors, one ut the bow and one at
the stern, and these hold them from
striking against the shore or one an
other until the Ice forms around them
and freezes them in solidly. Then
the anchors and rudders are taken up,
and, with lumber which they have
brought from home, the whalers build
substantial house over the ship.
Then they get the Eskimo to build a
sort of snow house over the wooden
house and, so, with all the covering to
protect them, they manage to keep
warm uncomfortable with very little
fire, however cold it may be out Of
doors. Sometimes they put in double
windows, the inside ones of glass, as
usual, and the outside ones being made
of slabs of ice, like the curious win
dows of the igLoos. The white men do
not live in these temporary houses
built on tops of the ships, but in the
cabin and forecastle. just as If they
were cruising out to sea. The house
is simply put over the ship to keep
the real places warm, and right well
it does Its work. This "house," how
ever, is very useful as place for tax
ing exercise, for ship-carpenterlng
work, and for any small jobs that
may be necessary. The Eskimo also
congregatc there, especially about
meai-time; when generous whalers
treat them wish sea- bread and weak
tea sweetened with molasses. st.
