LOGICAL ARRANGEMENT OF THOUGHT

4 Couple Of Illustrative Incidents In Q
Preachers Experience.
The appended anecdotes concerning tn
late President Robinson are given to th
public as too characteristic and too goo
TO be lost. They are from the recollection
Of the Rev. DR.. A. ]. Sage:
"Once In the classroom Dr.. Robinson
was e%xpatiating on the Importance OF care
full logical arrangement Of thought In dis
course, when he drew the following illus
tration from his " experience: 'Onoe,
when I wal preaching, a peculiar incident
occurred. I had gone through my intro
duction and first division, when my mem.
ory failed me. I could not recall my second
division, but instead Of 1t cam up tho
first point Of the application. After vsinly
trying to recall the missing head, l stated
to the congregation that for a special req
son I would pass at once to the application.
I did so, and when I had discussed the
first point the missing part OF my dis
course came back to me and l wens
through 1t all without further difficulty.
On reaching home I set myself down to
INQUIRE the meaning Of this incident, when
I discovered that that which Ibad planned
ss the first point Of my application should
have been really the second division OF the
m The mind In the activity OF
speaking had been more loyal to its own
principles than I had permitted 1t to be In
the toll Of preparation
1.-THE doctor was speaking to the class
on the Importance of keeping the mind
free from preoocupying and disturbing
thoughts when about to speak extempora.
He said: I was on my way to preach one
Sunday morning, absorbed In my d.
course, when a gentleman met me who
said, "Have you heard that -- is going
to marry Miss -" mentioning two per-
sons in whom I wa interested, whose
marriage would be particularly insult
able. The suggestion took possession OF
my mind, and in spite Of my best efforts
I could not get rid of It. All through my
sermon my thoughts were full OF the
haunting idea of that unfortunate lnisal-
lance. My discourse wa q failure. You
may imagine that my feeling toward the
source Of this Ill timed information was
not exceedingly amiable. I could have
helped him over q tall fence.'"-Ne

Wax Figures.

The best wax figures In the world an
made in New York. One firm here hal
two to show in It's store. Each of these
figures cost $500. They are made entirely
Of wax and are the exact counterparts Of
two famous New York models. The first
figure was sculptured after q French girl.
Almost the only difference between the
little French model and the polite, dainty
figure in wax La that the girl Of flesh and
blood has dark hair and the hair Of the
wax figure Is yellow. The second figure
Ia that Of ON American woman Her dg'
ure and the soft pink flush Of the skin
seem almost perfect. The woman who
stood for the model Of this one was said
to have the best American figure In New
York.-Boston Journal.

NE FoaleD A PLOT.
Rew Nine. Alboni Frustrated
Scheme to Hiss Her.

"Once upon q time, when Nine. AIboni
was at Trieste" writes HenryC. Laheo In
Famous Singers Of Today, '""she WIZ
informed of the existence Of q plot to him
her off the stage. Having ascertained tbs
names of her detractors and where theg
were to be found, she donned male attire,
30 which her short hair and robust figure
helped to complete her disguise, and went
to the cafe at which the consptrators met.
Here she found them In full consultation,
and taking a seat at o table she listened
10 their conversation for a time After
awhile she addressed the leader, saying:
II hear that you intend to play q trick
upon some one. ] am very fond Of a lit
tie practical joke myself and should b
glad If you would allow me to join you
on this occasion"
with pleasure was the reply. We
intend to hiss an opera singer of the stage
this evening" .
Indeed And Of what Is she guilty.
"'Oh, nothing, except that, being an
italian, she has sung In Munich and VI
emma to German audiences, and we think
she ought to receive some casttgation Ton
her unpatriotio conduct
"'I agree with you, and now please tell
me what I am to do
"'Take this whistle said the leader.
At q signal to be given at the conclusion
II the air sung by Rosina the noise VIII
oegin, and you will have to join in.'
al shall be very glad to do So said
she singer and put the whistle In hen
pocket. ..-
"In the evening the house wns packed
every seat was occupied-and the au'
dience warmly a~pplauded the opening
numbers Of the opera. In due course
Mime. Alboni appeared, and at the point
at which she was about to address hen
tutor a few of the c~onspirators began b
make q disturbance, not waiting for thu
signal.
"Without showing any concern, Nine
Alboni walked down to the footlights
and, holding up the whistle, which wa
hung to her neck by q ribbon, she ex
claimed: Gentlemen, are you not q LITTLE
before your timer I thought we were moi
TO commence Whaling until I had sune
the air.
"For q moment q deathly stiffness pro
vailed; then suddenly the house broke In
to thunders Of applause, which wa led b

Tho Mind and Action.

once asked q class Of l6 girls to think
intently what 1t would feel like to lift the
right hand and touch the left shoulder.
After q few minutes had elapsed nine OF
them confessed having felt a desire to do
It. I then dropped the subject and spoke
Of something else. In q few moments SIX
actually did 1t. Most persons when con-
oentrating attention upon the thought OF
what a given movement would feel hbe,
ind themselves becoming possessed OF a
desire to do 1t, and this desire marks the
tendency Of the thought to produce the
movement. But as we not only feel but
also see our movements, We find that the
thought Of what D movement looks like
has also motor value and tends to produce
1t. This Is also true Of touches and ideas
Of touch-indeed all or nearly all mental
states produce some motor changes In tho
body, but the motor effects Of sensations
and ideas Of sound, taste and smell are rel.
atiyely slight.-ProfeGsor ". r. Newbold

the warden, "the prisoner has no time q
