Habit of Swapping the Fingers

ibid you ever notice the peculiar
habit some men have of swapping

mind for the moment?" asked a man
who keeps a keen lookout for the
curious in human nature. Now, here
is a curious study, and one, which, If

Of the human mind is always OF inter-

much concern these curious physical
manifestations when the mind picture
becomes SO obscure that its lines are
lost. Why should a man snap his
fingers when he temporarily forgets
a thing? Does this physical move
ment aid the mental processes? Does
the fact prove the material basis of
the mind? It must show a very inti-
mate connection between the two.
After all, the intimacy existing be-
tween the mind and the body Is very
close. and personally, have always

us that psychology has a physiclogi-

fresh as the young woman who wrote
that I'd eat it, but l guess not. Take
1t back. But stay, let me get that ad-
