The Washington critic., 1889-05-02
MATTER WORTH READING

starting Win the word washington,
write down 100 words just rs they oc-
eur to you. Let your second word be
the one which Washington naturally
suggests to you. Possibly II will be
be capitol. II may be president. Take
the word which first comes into your
mind. In the same manner lei the
third word be guggested by the second,
the fourth by the third, and so on. BE
careful that the third word is not sug.
gcsted by both the first and second.
Drop the first entirely, and let your
mind 90 from the second alone 10 the
third. Having written this list of
words, you win have. furnished your
self with cheap but very useful mirror
OF your mind. II you are able to use
this mirror you may discover some very
serious defects in your mental pro.
cesscs. You may discover that you think
along certain lines too frequently. You
may discover that you are using su.
perticial principles quite too much TO
the neglect of more important laws
of mind You will thus be led to avoid
certain linkings and to encourage
others of more philosophical nature.

Sergeant Charles G. Wagner. is the
only survivor of General Custer's i'm.

his escape to q happy circumstance. He
