has been largely studied scientifically
through the laboratory plan.
Prior to 1878, whsn Wundt gave the
world his deductions, the study had
been largely either philosophical and
theoretical, or what may be styled the
common sense psychology" which
consists in ''sizing up" on general prin-
cipleH from general aud discriminating
observation. OF late there is the phase
OF the subject known as paidology, or
the study of children by specific or paido.
logical observation. With Wundt came
the laboratory or scientific study Of
which Munsterberg is now the chief ex-
ponent.
The revelations are as significant men
tally as were those OF geology scrip
turally.
The laboratory has taught us how
little we knew when phiosophically y
superstitious, of so little value were our
theoretical deductions.
The old time functions OF the mind
have gone never to return.
The intellect, sensibllity and the will
Of which we spoke so gliby and with
sucn satisfaction are now much like the
six literal days OF the creation as re-
corded in Genesis. The old-time theory
of color and brightness as the response
to the millions upon millions of wave
beats to the second has gone where
many theoretical pet las gone before.
The ear is affected by the air vibrations
and responds to the propusive motion,
but the mind appreciates color through
the nerve-endings of the eye through
chemical changes and not through pro-
pulsive motion.

THE DOG SHOW.

The Entries Indicate That the Affair
Will Be success.
The entries for the dog show to be held
here April 10Th are coming in quite
rapidly now, and from present appear
snces it looks as if the show would be
the largest ever held here.
For time it was feared the contro-
versy over the choice OF judges was
going to hurt the local men very badly,
but it has proved the best thing that
could have happened, as all the true dog
lovers are coming forward to show their
contempt for the jealous ones from San
Francisco who tried to run the ring to
suit Themselves.
The entries close next Saturday, and
as usual several men will be late, and 80

BEGINNINGS OF SPEECH.
The Animal Is In Possession of Two Ele.
 ments of Language.

ments of Language.
 Andre Lefeyre, in his book on "Racea and Languages, postulates as the origin of speech that the animal is already in pos session of the two significant clements of 1anguage-the cry, spontaneous and re- fexive, of emotion and need; the cry, al ready intentional, of warning, menace and appeal From these two sorts of cry man, endowed with a richer vocal apparatus and less limited cerebral faculties, has de- rived numerous varieties by prolongation, duplication and intonation. The cry of appeal the germ of the demonstratiye roots, prelude to nouns of number, sex and distance; the emotional cry, of which our simple interjecitons are survivals, combining with the demonstratives, pre- pares the verb and the noun of condition and action.
 Imitation, either direct or symbolical but necessarily only approximate, of the sounds of nature or, in short, onomato- pocia, furnishes the elements of attribu. two sorts from which proceed the names of objects and special verbs and their deriv- atives Analogy and metaphor complete the vocabulary by applying to objects of touch, sight, smell and taste the qualifi- ations derived from onomatopoeia. Then comes reason, which, discarding the great CT part of this unwieldly wealth, adopts a larger or smaller number of sounds. re- duced to vague or generic sense, and by derivation, suffixing and composition causes to proceed from these subroots in definite lineages of words, having every manner of relationship among themselves, from the closest to the most dubious, and which grammar proceeds to distribute among tho recognized categories of parta of speech

AN APPEAL TO MOTHERS.

Lo.... nS N oUAL MINE.
Lights and Shadows, Jests and Snarls
 Among the Black Diamonds,


 All at once, far ahead, shone a little flame, blurred and difficult of location. It was tiny indefinite thing, like D wisp light. We seemed to be looking at it through great fog. Presently there were two of them. They began to move to and fro and dance before us.
 After time we came upon two men crouching where the roof of the passage came near to meeting the floor. If the picture could have been brought to where it would have had the opposition and the contrast of the glorious summer time earth it would have been a grim and ghastly thing. The garments of the men were no more sable than their faces, and when they turned their heads to regard our tramping party their eyeballs and teeth shone white as bleached bones It was like the grinning of two skulls there in the shadows. The tiny lamps in their hats made trembling light that left weirdly shrouded the movements of their limbs and bodies. We might have been con- fronting terrible specters.
 But they said, Hello, Jim," to our conductor Their mouths expanded In smiles-wide and startling smiles.
 In Q moment they turned again to their work. When the lights of our party re- enforced their two lamps we could see that one was busily drilling into the coal with long, thin bar. The low roof om- inously pressed his shoulders as he bent at his toll The other knelt behind him on the loose Jumps of coal
 He who worked at the drill engaged in conversation with our guide. He looked back over his shoulder, continuing to poke away. When are yeh goin t meas ure this up, Jim?" he demanded. "Do yeh wanta git me killedS"
 "Well, I'd measure it up today, on'y ain't got me tape, replied the other.
 Well, when will yehP Yeh wanta hur- ry up," said the miner. II don't wanta git killed.'
 "Oh I'll be down on Monda'."
 ''Humpl"
 They engaged in a sort of altercation in which they made jests.
 You'll be carried out O here feet first before long"
 ''Will IF"
 Yet one had to look closely to under stand that they were not about to spring imitation created all the effects of the snarling of two wolves.
 We came upon other little low roofed chambers each containing two men-a "miner," who makes the blasts, and his ''laborer," who loads the coal upon the cars and assists the miner generally. And at each place there was this same effect of strangely satanic smiles and eyeballs wild and glittering in the pale glow of the lamps -McClure's Magazine.
