"TElTBATlfV REPOflTlNSr tblnvolres Five DUtlnct Slmalttm om Mental Operations. Psychologists may find an interesting field for investigation jin the Intellec tual processes that arenvolved In rap Id shorthand writing. There are at least five distinct mental operations carried on continuously during verba tim reporting. Flwt, there Is the sensa tion of sound received by the ear; sec ondly, there Is the perception by the brain of the word uttered, practically simultaneous with the sensation in the case of a distinct speaker, but often delayed a large fraction of a second when a preacher "drops His voice" or a witness in court has a foreign accent In the third place, the stenographer must analyze the consonantal gructure of all the less common words In the sentence, all except the stock words and phrases, which he writes by word ilgns by a practically automatic habit. Fourth, these relatively uncommon words must be put on paper according to the principles of the system employ ed. This one operation Involves many subordinate and Infinitely swift efforts of recollection, association and decision. Fifth, all these mental operations are carried on while the pen or pencil is from two or three words to an entire sentence behind the speaker this, of course, in. rapid speaking thereby com plicating the situation by compelling memory to keep pace with attention. In other words, while the scribe is writing the predicate of one sentence and analyzing an unfamiliar word in the subject of the next, he Is at the some time giving his auditory attention to the predicate of the second sentence then being uttered by the speaker. This Is Impossible to an untrained mind. The avernje educated person cannot re tain more than perhaps six or eight words of the exact phraseology of a speaker st one time. The competent stenographer can hold up ten, fifteen, twenty words or even more in his mem ory, while at the same time taxing his mind by the act of writing the words that preceded. The World Today. Long Winded. There have been many terms of re proach and ridicule applied to inter minable and wearisome talkers, but here are two that seem to be particu larly pat: One la the comment of a politician on a Washington orator, "He has a good train of thought, but It lacks terminal facilities." The other comes from the village hu morist, whe said of the village orator, "He's the only feller I ever knew who could set his face talkln' an' then go off an' leave it" Japanese Pottery. Everybody who knows anything at all about Japanese pottery knows that there Is such a thing as Satsumo ware. Beyond the fact that it is yellowish in tone and always crackled knowledge In most cases does not go, however. The name of the pottery is taken from the clay which comes from the prov ince of Satsuma and Is the only clay In Japan, possibly in the world, which Will stand the number of firings neces sary in the elaborate decorations of Which It Is the subject Sure of m Pine Funeral. "Larry," said a merchant to a sturdy Irishman in his employ, "are you sav ing any of your money?" "Indade I am, sor," replied Larry. "I've got $400 hid away in a safe place." "But it isn't a public spirited policy j to hoard money away," remarked the ! merchant, thinking to quiz him. "You ; ought to deposit it in a good bauk, so : as to keep it iu circulation." "Sure it'll all go into clrkylatkin the second day afther I'm dead, sor," said Larry proudly. Youth's Companion. lie Knew a Thlnif or Two. Anaxagoras, the Athenian philoso pher, who flourished In the fifth ceu tury before Christ, taught his sahohirs that wind was air set in motion by rarefaction; that the moon owed her light giving properties to the suu; that the rainbow was the resulting phenom enon of reflection; that cometswerewan dering stars, and that the fixed stars were at an immeasurable distance be yond the sun, besides giving them many other Ideas thought to belong to more modern times. ' HORSEHAIR FOR BOWS. Only Illnok or White From Rout or tJermnnj la VmmI. Then? is a vast amount of horsehair annually used in the United States for making and repairing violin, violon cello and bass viol bows. AH of the hair comes from Germany ami Rus sia, In which countries the tails of horses are generally allowed to grow much longer than here. The foreign hair Is also coarser in texture ami tougher than that which grows on the American horse, ond these qualities make the Imported article more valua ble than the domtlc product. There are only two kinds of horse hair suitable for making bows, and they are of white and black varieties. The former is Usd for violin bows, and the latter, which Is heavier and stronger, Is the best material for mak ing bows for cello ajul bass viols, lo calise it bites the larger strings better. The Imported IwUr Is put up In hanks of thirty-six Inches long, which Is five or all lnchea longer than the standard violin bow. A hank is sufficient for one violin fcow, while two hanks are re quired to hair a cello or bass viol bow. There are about one and a half ounces of hair In a hank, which is wortn from 2T to 30 oents, according to the quality of-the hair. Philadelphia Record. f FRANK Immense Stock Reduction Sale.
