\ AVOID TOO MUCH REASONING Those Who Would Argue Well Must Not Get Too Far From Tangible Fact. Dr. Henry Bergson deplores the tendency of philosophical thinkers to let their reasoning powers run away with them. That tendency in not ? J l_ 1 1 "... .1 I wmuieu 10 pnuosopners. it is *ne j habit of all people, whatever- the;r ! capacity, to give wide range to the r 1 reason and let go the primary facts ; or ideals with which they started out. He thinks it is absurd for a person to push his reasoning far from the tangible fact, for in that fnet may he more truth than in all their logic. This opinion should tend to inspire those people who are very verbose in argument with more modesty than they seem to possess. Our reasoning is really the weakest of our powers. It is so full of half-glance, prejudice, vanities and personal sympathies as to make our conclusions thoroughly unreliable. The true rule of argument is to state the fact and the principle which it illustrates, and cling to them as the host assurance that one can have for his contention. There is nothing that has proved such a jungle in human experience as unguarded and unrestricted reasoning. The idea or doctrine that is true appears easily without a tortuous course of logic to reveal it.?Ohio State Journal.

WOMEN ARE NOT BABBLERS. Women arc great talker*, but they don't publish business see re l? in tlieir email talk. In this respect they seem to tl<? a little hotter than men. "There can he no doubt that women are far safer as clerks than men," says Miss Florence, secretary of the Women Clerks and Secretaries' Friendly society of London. "A business secret is rarely if ever divulged outside by a woman clerk. TTnlike the men, they do not, when they leave the ofhoo, indulge in long conversations about their' work. Men b&bhle to men far more than women do to women." Miss Charleaworth, chief superintendent of the loeal government I ward's typists, in testifying before the civil service commission, likewise praised the loyalty and efficiency of woman.?Is'slic's.
