Though Leibnitz discusses innate ideas at
great length, the burden Of his criticism-a thor
oughly just one-upOn Locke is that the lat
ter did not distinguish with sufficient care
the origin Of the necessary truths whose source
! is in the understanding. from that OF truths
OF fact drawn from the experience of the
senses, nor even from those confused percen-
lions which occur to the mind. From his own
point or view the question was really not an
open one. In assuming the existence Of his
monads, he assumed also all the potences with
which he endowed them. With these granted.
1t was impossible for him to concede that the
mind ever ceased thinking even In the most
profound slumber. This is still a debatab,o
question among psychologists. the answer to 1t
being colored invariably by the philosophic pre-
possessions of each thinker or observer The
point on which Locke got the better of Leibnitz
as can be seen now in the light of modern
science. was just where LeibnitZ attempted IN
realize his theory Of the unbroken continuity Of
life at the boundary between the animal and
vegetable kingdoms If he had known how
obscure this boundary is. and how many Or
ganisms there are. especially minute organisms
of which 1t is impossible to say with absolute
certainty whether they are plants or animals
his difficulty would have been obviated. at
represents him in Leibnitz's dialogue. peremp-
torly asserts that perception distinguishes ami
mails from inferior beings. II Leibnitz had
stopped with the expression OF his belief that
plants also have some perception and appetition
he would have been consistent. For there are
certain Piants-orchids, for example, in their
proper habitat-that seem to be capable Of per
ceiVing danger and OF escaping from IT, though

stili TOO much Of Cortesian TO give full sway
TO his own belief. Il do not cease" said he
TO attribute to mechanism all that takes place
IN the bodies Of plants and animals, except their
FIRST formation" Thus there Is here a wide
chasm In what Windelband calls Leibnitzs vi
'ansh-a distinction between life capable OF
controlling the organisms In which II exists and
Ire which Is subject to momentary assistance

mentioned with qualified approval the doctrine

WASHING a FINE ART,

"Eyer since spinning was a type of
womanly industry from age 90 age, il has
been expected that beautiful appaf ell should
clothe women. From the classic robes Of
Aspasia 10 the rich dresses Of Elizabeth,
and thence TO the wedding gown of Pnr-
itan Priscilla we see the attractiveness OF
dress" But at this time only has il be-
come possible for all women 10 be becom-
ingly attired at a small cost, the supply Of
beautiful Inexpensive dress fabrics mo- to
be had, making il an easy matter. Yet
there are women who insist that the ex-
pense of having summer gowns laundered
Is greater than the original cost, and that
in the end light woolens or summer silks
are more economical. This is q mistaken
idea, as washing pretty belongings is fine
art, which is very easy TO learn. ANY girl
no matter how delicately reared can wash
her own summer gowns. A bright day,
plenty Of water. and little pure soap are
the necessary aids in the work. To do il.
I'LL tub two-thirds full of warm water.
dissolve fourth of a cake OF Ivory Soap.
(which win not fade the most delicate
colors), add il 10 the water. wash the gar
nents carefully through il, rinse first in
clear water, then in blue water, wiring,
dip in thin starch, hang on the line in the
shade When dry, sprinkle, and iron on
the wrong side. Eliza T. Parker.

a srodsl RaIlroad Buildins.

One of the constant attractions to
Jubilee visitors at Salt Lake City was
~. handsome new building on West
remple street now being erected by
~. oregon Short Line Railroad as q
nome for their general Offices. The
.,,ueture Is conceded by all TO be the
model railroad building of the West.
To conduct the business of great
xoaa like the Oregon Short Line with
t,s 1900 miles OF tracks requires host
i n DEPARTMENTS each with its chief, his
assistants and scores OF clerks and ac-
.ountants. None of these have been
overlooked in this model building.
|Tbe structure was erected from plans
drawn by the engineering department
N the road, and each clerk was counted
and place made for him in the prop
n place, that he might perform his
duties with the least amount Of neces-
.ary labor and surrounded by conyen-
lences that would conduce TO his great
est comfort Forty large and airy Of
fce rooms are required TO house all
|these employees.
The busiest and most visited of these
departments is that OF passenger traf-
fc presided over by General Passenger
agent Barley, who in the four months
pinee the segregation OF the road from
the Union Pacific, has made for him-
selfa reputation that stamps him as
|pne OF the best passenger men In the
rountry.
The passenger department is making
an ensiable record as being unsurpass-
Ia By any western road In point OF
komfor, and quick time. With It's
connections the Short Line has recent
Il reduced the time between Denver
nd Portland aud the Sound about
Twelve hours In view OF the heavy tra-
bel toward the Klondyhe gold fields Of

as been doubly appreciated.
The system Is 10 bc extended by
