VAIUSOF TACT,
Great diversity of opinion exists,
rays Harper's Bazar, as to what consli
tutes the supplement to the five gifts
of nature, the extra sense, whose exis
tence, however, we agree to recognize
as a help to all. It is urged that com
mon sense is so valuable, aud in spile
af its name, so uncommon a quality,
that it deserves to rank with the prec
ious physical endowments. Aud it
had, too, meaning, quite obsolete as
a supposed sense which was held to
be the common bond of all the
others. But it is more practical and
less expansive than the delicate re
quiremente of the case demand, and is
sometimes exercised in a blunt, incon
siderate Way which unfit it for the
peer of sight and bearing, so distaste
ful are some of its methods to both
these senses. Its instantaneous and
usually correct judgments when uu
veiled by any softening medium are
at war with the sense of propriety,
which has in its turn many claims to
the title of sixth sense, its adherents
asserting with reason that it merits the
high rank by its recognition of social
requirements and its avoidance of the
blunders which are worse than crimes.
Duty has been boldly named as hav-
iug incontestable superiority over all
rivals, while the charms of music are
just as jealously urged by tiiote who
yield themselves willing slaves to the
enchantments of melody. But there
is a popular talent, a social art, an
amiaoie gut, wmcd combines the vir
tues of these claimants with an exquis
ite delicacy and an elegance of good
breeding all Its own. It has the beet
qualities of common sense sound
judgment and prompt decision and
: with these it has, moreover, that grace
of discretion which is the basis of
propriety, a clear discernment of duty
with a ready yielding to its behests;
and it stills so many jamug notes,
replacing them with sweet chords,
that "music's go lden tongue,, is less
eloquent, lees " effective. Its very
name is sometime used to designate
' be stroke in beating time, and with
tact one can evoke harmony from the
moet discordant elements. Borne for
tunate beings are born with this sixth
sense, and they are everywhere wel
corned, while life has a new charm
for all who are so happy as to know
them. Others strive to gain it, mak
ing, it is true, some false steps before
reaching their goal, but with patient
effort they acquire the pleasant art,
and thus enhance even the most bril
hunt qualities with which nature and
education may have blessed them
Tact is valuable in every relation of
life, its quiet unobtrusive diplomacy
being as effective in the nursery, and
with those children of a larger growth
wno compose ine aomesiic retinue, as
in the highest circles of social inter
course. It has a passive phase, and
TBt MECHANISM OF THOUGHT.
Sensation is a mere abstraction, In
psychological terms it may be said that
(he contact of the outside world pro
duces in human beings perceptions
and not simple snnsations. Pcreep
lion is tin impression of the senses
and something else besitlos, namely, a
reaction of the mind. Let us look
about us and note what takes place
when an individual is excited by oon
tact with the exterior world. Take a
man seated in his study, writing. All
the objects about him oonvey sensa
tions to him and he responds to them
in a visible way by his acts. The ex
cilements of the outside world, action
and reaction, the furmor o miiug from
the ontside world, the latter from the
individual, front a wliolt, and can only
be separated artificially by aualysis.
It is the same, in our opinion, with
the phenomena of ideation. Our ideas
are merely revivals of sensation, and
these revivals are in many respects,
independent of the presence of exter-
ior objects. A kind of outside world,
quite distinct from the original, is
formed in our mind. Our memory,
our imagination, aud our reas.-o cre
ate an ideal world, which is distinctly
visible to us in dreams, contemplation
and somnambulism. Iu active life we
catch only brief glimpses of it, but we
have only to shut our eyes and to for
get the material word, when this world
compact of images at once takes the
place of the other. To be a little more
precise, let a more exact parallel be
substituted for these comparisons.
which have a purely literary appear
ance. An exterior, material and tan
gible object meets our eye we see it,
we perceive it. What is this perceiv
ing? Does it consist in the conscious
ness of the physical impression of the
object on oar organs of sense? No;
it is something more than that. Per
ception is not merely an act of con
sciousness ; it is also an act of cogni
tion. Perception, then, consists in a
certain function imposed by the miud
on simple sensations. Sensation is no
sooner experienced than it gives rise
to this work of interpretation, which
is based upon our knowledge of the
exterior world acquired by means of
anterior experiences. The past inter
venes to assist us to a knowledge of
the present. But it should be under
stood that every sensation gives rise
to an analogous process. It is strange
to contemplate the really considerable
amount of psychological exertion de
manded by the most elementary cog
nition of surrounding objects. Igno
rant persons readily imagine that no
effort is needed in perceiving, that to
see is to understand, and that the out
ward world, with all its details, pene
trates our mind somehow, provided we
open tbo gates of our sensory organs.
In reality, we are obliged each lime to
construct the outward world with our
memories; and the vision of distances,
which appears the most direct and
simple, results from a series of com
plex memories, which enable us to set
each object in its place. This im
mense work commences as soon as we
are conscious of the outer world, and
it continues unceasingly increasing in
complexity and perfection without ou
being conscious of it for the greater
part of the time, because it becomes
an automatic activity. To perceive,
then, is to reason. The idea must be
recognized just as any other sensation,
and, although the idea is personal to
us, since we alone perceive it, we do
not take cognizance of it by the mere
fact that we are conscious of it. An
effort, an act of reasoning is necessary
for the cognition of the ideas that
flash across our brain, just as there is
need of reasoning to recognize the ma
terial objects that strike our eyes.
Such is our hypothesis respecting the
psychological nature of thought. It
is ordinarily assumed that among the
facts ot consciousness our thought is
mat wnicn presents the greatest cer
tainty, because it is the only one of
which we have direct cognition with
out intermediary. It may bo remem
bered in this connection that Descartes,
when he wanted, for his personal sat
isfaction, to reconstruct the whole sys
tem of his cognitions, resolved to
doubt everything that did not seem to
him clearly deinonstrated,and the only
thing that resisted the onslaught of
it. The senses do not deceive us
their province is to record the sens
tions but the mind ia deceived by
drawing an inaccurate conclusion
from the sensations. In other terms,
the illusion of the senses arises from
the union of a sensation with an im
age that does not correspond to realty
Fortnightly Review.
Ex Unitbo Status Attorssy Pat
rick H. Winston, of Spokane, Wash
ington, who last May withdrew from
the republican party and joined the
peoples party, iu au open letter to the
Spokane-Review has declined an iu
vitatiou to represent the people parly
in the joint debate in Whitman county.
He puts his refusal upon the ground
that ho will not affiliate with the party
that ollicinlly allies itself with organ
ized attempts to preciptate civil war.
He reiterates his adherence to the
principles contained in an address to
the people of Washington on May 7th
last, and declares his belief that the
masses of the republican party are in
sympathy with those principles. He
says that the republican party has the
confidence of the country, and it that
party, in its convention, incorporates
those principles in its platform, he
will vote the ticket. Otherwise, he
declares himself "a man without a
parly, but with a country."
If there is any calamity that hasn't
overtaken Kansas we would like to
know it. From early territorial days,
when violence and bloodshed were the
principal features of Kansas life, down
to the year of our Lord 1894, the
chosen curses of a wrathful fate have
fallen upon the people of that state in
such quick succession ononis prone to
believe that there is method in all ibis
affliction. It is a fair land to look
upon, aud to the outward view all the
elements of prosperity are there in
abundance. There is no more fertile
soil on the face of the globe than is to
be found in KansaB, and the state has
been populated with the best blood of
New England. And yet in spite of all
the conditions which go to make pros
perity, the state seems to bo under a
perpetual blight. And now, when
the corn crop promised to be the big
gest in the history of Kansas there
comes the hot breath of the simoon
and in less than three days makes a
desert of the whole country.
Congress has appropriated the sum
of 110,000 for a test of the different
woods grown in the United States, to
ascertain their adaptability for gov

made by the forestry division of the
Department of Agriculture. If an
impartial test is made the superiority
of fir for general construction will be
clearly demonstrated.
A Little Hasty.
On Friday night of last week a dance
was given at the residence of W. II
Birdeontr, a few miles out of Priue-
ville, Crook county, and it was at
tended by a number of parties from
that town. During the eveniug Mr.
tfirdeong mitsed a box containing
about tinny dollars in chanee. which
was kept in a clothes press, and after
dilligent search it could not be found.
This led him to believe that some of
tbe dancers had made away with it.
Consequently he went to town and
secured the services of Deputy Sheriff

opinion that the berry hasshrivled notice
ably, and further, that the greatest defect
will be shown in the weight. The latter
opinion is a matter of conjecture. The
grain is reported plump by most corres
pondents, showing that if there be damage
it is not general. The spring-grow crop of

from the region of Lowell, of the killing of
a cougar, without a gun. Frank Blakeley,
aged about 27 years, who lives oo the mid

an opening with his dog, when be espied a
half-grown cougar up a tree. The limbs
were easy of access and he climbed the tree,
but it took a considerable amount of shak
