The mind is ever actively receiving impressions. So subtile are these impressions we are scarcely susceptible of having received them. In analizing it, we find it to be the most wonderful of all things in life. Mind—“the ability to think. ’’ The animal that has the greatest ability to think rules the world. Man rules the earth because his is the Master mind, and all other animals are therefore subject to him. Mind in its ability to think memorizies what it thinks. Memory is the power to revive again in our minds those ideas thought about, or to bring up something we have simply observed without thinking or studying. Say by the way of homely illustration, you should overhear one ask where the hatchet is. You call and say its out by a certain tree. You were not thinking of the hatcliet lying there. You did not indeed intend charging your mind —simply received the impression as you passed by. Mind and memory are so closely of kin, one is not thought of without the other. Its no use to study if the memory does not retain. It has always seemed to us to keep the little first fear at school tots in school more than a few hours a day a waste of time and an injury to them. Their little heads are capable of retaining but a thought or two at a time, and one study a day they could retain in their mind and go home and tell mamma all about it, but if a number of things one after another are being forced on its mind it in the meantime getting more and more restless as'the hours go by, at night it has a conglomeration of all, but hardly a distinct idea nor has it fully memorized any one study of the day. In other words, in the one case the child’s day is over with a conglomerated mass of ideas. No one of which it has memorized distinctly. In the other case, it has memorized the one study, therefore has learned at least the one thing and could stand an examination on that but could tell you nothing definite about the other days doings. Is it not a matter of fact that a child so young has all it can dodo retain one thing at a time? One thought or a study for a day is good and sufficient if you would have it retain the knowledge you wish to convey. A child is not capable of grasping more than one thing or idea at a time. The preparing for a great trial in which there were a great number of knotty legal problems we asked the lawyer how he could keep studying and at the same time remember ! He said just as long as his brain received impressions, he studied the problem, but as soon as his brain tired he put the matter aside, and commenced again where he left off, taking up some lighter duties till his mind rested. In other words, as soon as our minds fail to receive impressions, it is time to stop and let it catch up as you are then wasting your time. It is said the reason so many of our great men from the country have made good from the presidential chair down is that in following the plow the problems of their books were thought over and reasoned out. There is not much else to divert his mind when in the field and the country boy works out many a problem in this quietness that sticks and come up a reserve fund in the halls of congress or colleges of learning. Its the reasoning out of the thing, the memorizing of the whys and wherefores, that educates. Education is knowledge memorized or remembered. What we memorize no one can steal form us. Unless reason is dethroned, no one can rob us of education. Its the poor man’s capital. In this day and age it behoves one to be up and doing. We must be students all our lives. Our farmers find this true in all things agricultural. Different methods prevail than when he was a boy. The doctor, professor, or merchant who does not keep up with the age, will drop behind. It is an extremely progressive age. One can never rest on his laurels. We must not lose sight of impressions on our lives like unto the hlatchet incident. Our surroundings impress us daily. These impressions may be for good or evil. Some have said “Let them go.for a while, one must sow his wild oats.” Many a son or daughter has cursed father and mother for this. Give a boy six months or a year in a pool room or loafing about the saloons and you will find the agreeable saloonkeeper has nine cases of ten a mortgage on the balance of his life. The dog’s track in the cement will be in that walk for many a day before it is obliterated, in fact, the walk may not outlive it. The track was made while the material was soft. Tracks made in our youth are hard to obliterate, in fact they often track us to our graves. In the physical condition, there are times when certain of us are more susceptible of disease. One learns with astonishment that so and so has typhoid or some other fever. The doctor will tell you that the system had run down and was in such a condition (below par as were) that the germ fastened itself more readily like when a pestilence goes through the land, it is rare indeed that all get down with it. Those whose systems are in good condition to resist it, escape. Thus the “Smart Alex” age in boys and girls finds the most cengenial soil. The higher boys and girls climb “fool hill,” the greater the fall. If we place yourselves in position of wrong we cannot but fail to receive impressions, though we may not seem conscious at the time.

So frequently are we called upon to advertise pocket books that It seems it would be of benefit to print ones name in ink on the inside or leave one’s card in it. Honest people then will at once deliver without further delay. 'fake care of the dollars and the mining sharks will have to take care~of themselves.

Mrs. Stella Parkison and daughter, Ardis, returned to Brook last week, after an extended visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Parker. C. W. Bussell and son, Elvin, from here, and Mrs. Mary E, Lowe, of Rensselaer, went to Eagle River, Wis., Saturday. They will be gone three or four days.—:—: The Chicago watermelon market must be booming this season judging from the number of cars of melons that have passed over the Monon the past week. R. V. Johns had another operation performed last week at Monon to remove a tumorous growth on his lower eye lid. It is healing up nicely now and seems to be on the road to permanent recovery. Mrs. Truax, Orval Brown, Newton Lykins and sister and John Blunt, from west of Monon, visited at J. C. Ireland’s Sunday. Mr. Blunt furnished plenty of entertainment for the crowd with his phonograph. There was a terriffic down pour of rain here late Sunday afternoon, so much that considerable water was standing on the fields Monday, and as the sun came out quite warm Monday it will probably damage lots of corn. Mrs. E. J. Randle was at Chicago a couple of days last week to see her brother, Rae Yeoman, who recently underwent an operation. As the nature of the case and the success of the operation we have not as yet learned. A few persons who were on the lookout got a view of the combination engine and passenger coach from the N. Y. C. lines that came to McCoysburg via the C. & W. V. road Tuesday. It was a swell looking outfit and was hauling Mr. Gifford and some of the officials of the N. Y. C. A nice little crowd gathered at Parker for Sunday school Sunday and the zeal and energy shown in the work certainly would warrant a lit; tie effort on the part of every neighbor to turn out and help re-organize a good strong school. There will be Sunday school next* Sunday, July 18th, at 2 p. m. All are invited. Mrs. R. S. Drake and two daughters Ola and Ellen went to Monon Saturday evening for a visit with relatives and to consult the family physician about Ola’s eyes. It seems that she has them poisoned by something, and they have continued to grow worse since the poisoning was first noticed two or three weeks ago. Lawrence Blunk came very near servering his nose from his face Monday afternoon. He had occasion to enter the shop door for something and ran against a scythe that had been left In the doorway, only a fpw minutes before, by some of the children. Quite a gash was cut, but It will heal up all right without leaving nny noticeable scar. The Moffltt dredge was fired up again Monday and the water pumped out of the hull. Their plans now are to turn the boat around and dig south, following the old ditch until east of McCoysburg, thence take a northeasterly course to the Randle wind pump in the pasture, then kick back and continue the ditch according to the first outline. < :••• * The best pills made are DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little liver pills. They are small, gentle, pleasant, easy to take and act promptly. They are sold by all druggists.
