landlady to writer in a recent ex-
change. Their whims and peculiarities
are well-nigh incredible, and at times
hardly know how to restrain myself from
laughter when interviewing my potential

Only the other day fashionably dress

to take my best room merely because she

and l accordinely suggested that another

the mirrors, but eventually decided that
not one of them was sufficiently flatter-

care to point out that it was her face,
and not the looking-glass, which was at

pointed 1t out as worthy of the admira-

both regarded the statue closely for
minute or so. Then the New York wo-
man closed her eyes and declared she

Well, yes, that is really what some of
the Aristotlers would do. taking for grant
ed that we cannot perceive any object but
what is In the mind, and SO they venture
to annihilate wholly the material world"
DO they mean to say that we perceive
nothing immediately"
That is just what they hold. II they
had been here few minutes ago they
would have told you-you did not perceive
that statue really until the idea of the
statue was fixed In your mind. Their
whole theory Is that we can have no
knowledge of things external but what we
acquire by reasoning upon their ideas or
images in the mind. If you were to ask
a disciple Of this belief for a plain state
ment he would probably say, as an illus
tration, When l see in a mirror man
standing behind me the immediate object
of my sight Is his Image, not the man
himself without which / could not see
him; in like manner when / see tree
or house there must be an image of
these objects in my brain or in my mind,
which image is the immediate object of
my perception, and by means Of that i'm
