This office has reason to take great
deal of pride in the completeness of its
art department.
The speed with which the Inter Noun
tain pictures are turned out is one OF the
features of which the entire staff is proud.

commence" or "Begin."

Commence or begin? The best writ
ers, and the best speakers, also, prefer
"begin' to commence" for all every
day purposes. The reason for. this pref
crence is not. as some have said that
"begin" is older, for commence is oil
very respectable antiquity; nor is it.
as others have said, that begin is of
Anglo-Saxon origin. for words OF
French or of Latin origin that have
been fully adopted into our language
are just as good English as native
words. 1t is rather that begin has
the strength of simplicity. whereas
commence" has fallen into disrepute
from being associated with the cheal

A MedimvaI Psychologist.

y pfessor Munsterberg of Harvard,
/ OseS speciality is psychology, relies
to- sOu& extent on the point of a good
story in\enforcing his positions in abb
stract demonstration. He has one on
the association of ideas that will illus
trate. A meai@val magician-more ac-
curately called ''fakir" nOwadays-an-
nounced that he bad invented and had
for sale a magic pot. If certain rather
common stones were mixed and placed
in the pot, with certain portion of
water, and the whole shaken diligently
for an hour. the stones would turn to
gold provided that during the hour the
operator should not think of a hippo
potamus. The fakir sold great many
for fabulous sums, and not one of the
purchasers ever demanded Il return of
the money. The fakir knew his busi-
ness. He was in advance of his age in
psychology. in his skill in permanently
fixing in his customers minds the as
sociation of that old pot and hippo
potamus.-BoStOn Herald.
