MENTAL IMAGES.

Material Pictures Contemporaneous With
Thought Impressed Upon the Brain.
"a nan conversing in earnest, says
Emerson in his essay on Mature, IF
he watch his intellectual processes, will
find that O material image, more or less
luminous, arises in his mind contempt
raneous with every thought, which fur
nishes the vestment Of the thought.
This power of forming mental images
appears to vary in strength among indi-
viduals to a considerable degree. Natu-
rally we should expect to find it power
full in poets and artists. Charles Dick
ems has himself told us that he actually
saw his creations as he wrote, and N.
Taine mentions a painter who only look
ed at an object while he sketched its
outline and was able to fill in the colors
from the image of it in his mind. On
the other hand, there are people Of equal
intelligence who, being unable TO see
such mental images themselves, have
doubted their existence, and Mr.. Fran"
CHS Gallon has shown that habits of alb
stract thought, such as men Of science
and philosophers indulge in, are apt to
weaken the capacity of forming mental
pictures.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick of Winona, MINI. !,
an experimental psychologist, has made
o series of observations ON this phenom-
enon with the help of his classes The
scholars were askedlto write down just
what came into their minds when GER
tain familiar words, such as book
''tree, - church, - were called out, and
the answers were carefully investigated.
he found that the majority of the stu
dents formed distinct images Of the OBJ.
iects corresponding to the words, and
the rest formed indistinct images, with
q few exceptions, who Q to have In
dulged in philosophical distractions.
The word ''book, :" for example, called
up visions of o Bible, a dictionary, Q
novel, in all but a few scholars, who
thought of food for the mind" or ''the
thoughts Of some person." The WORD
tree was represented by some kind %
tree, more especially the illustrious cher
ry tree which George Washington cut
down. The word Church usually
evoked a picture Of some church in tbs
vicinity, but some of the hearers thoughi
of a religious organization. It is ev
ident from his results that most peopl.
are ''visualizers'' in thinking, while ;
few are ''nonvisualizers." The tenden
cy to form distinct images was very
conspicuous among the female students
and in both sexes it reaches an abnor
NAL development about the ages of Il
and Is, or during the period of adde's
cence, which, it has been otherwise OBJ

Mitchell dispatch, II: Circuit court
is in session, with Judge Jones on the
bench from Sioux Falls in exchange with
Judge Haney. A trial involving some
nice legal points and indirectly the state
p~rohibitory law is being heard, being
that Of the Anheuser-B Bush Brewing
company against James Spears, a local
dealer. The company sues him for g.,
coo worth of beer which it sold him. and
he makes defense by alleging that the
sale being made under the prohibitory
law was not valid, and claims that the
beer wasn't good, anyhow. The beer
was sold him by an agent on a contract
signed in this town, but the company
claims that the sale had to be ratified in
st. Louis to make it valid, and therefore
it was not made in South Dakota.

Milton George, founder of the Far

foundation principles had been adhered
to, the phenomenal growth OF the far.
mers' alliance would have continued,
without a shadow of a doubt, and its in
iuence would have become so wide
spread that its principles would to Il
greater extent dominated Legislative
action, aud its demands would have
been crystalized into more laws than
now have a place On our statute books,
and a much better state of affairs would
have been obtained than is now the
case. But the principle of nonpartisan
ship, the very corner stone upon which
the farmers alliance was built, was
abandoned, and in many states the al,
