Wake Up Your Mind. What is your "thinking depth?" -Now end again, in political controversy es- pecially, one man describes another as a "shallow thinker."" The, expression, if justified, means; that the process of thinking has been too quick. This, that, and the other factor heyetnot been considered. It may not bo, that the shallow thinker could not think deeply, if he liked. "Shallow -thinking" may be due merely to mental laziness. -. In some eases too; conceit . Is re- `sponsible. We have such a good opin- ion of ourselves that we think that our shallow thinking is as good as the deeper thinking of others! But many of us, though not at all conceited; are still "shallow thinkers." The sure and certain way'to become ages. e deep -thinker is to do what a runner aloes—he uses all his lungs! The me- jority of ue':only use a portion all our lives,, save on those rare occasions, in Sunning, when we have got "our second. wind.' This merely means that, for once, we have brought the whole of our longs into action! We are breathing deeply, and not shallowly: To think deeply we mist bring all our brain power into action, and that; is done by going en thinking! There always comes' a time while we are thinking out something when we tire. There seems nothing more to dosthen, but cease thinking and accept the core clusions we have c,rrived at. But if we .went on we should bring all our grey matterinto play. Deep thinking would then begin, We should plumb mental depths we never- thought we possessed, Andjust as deep breathing becomes a habit trem practice, so would deep thinking, Not to think deeply is just es bad In the -battle of lite as it would be if, in warfare, a eoznmander witlr heavy guns ,didn't use them.

They enable hint to effectively turn the subject when some inquisitive spectator wants, to know the se - Orel of one of his pet tricks. Ttiey are useful in silencing that annoy- ing' individual who is only too `ready to 'tell how every trick' is done.

This is done' •by causing the victim to' • clasp his hands arpund a piano leg. • Another stunt is to ask a epee - tater to . select any card he likes from the pack. Make the selec- tion of it as complicated as pos- sable aid add all of the details possible. Put the victim to a lot of trouble, 'making notes, counting. cards, etc. •When the, victim has paid for exposing your pet trick, say to him. 'What card did you select?" He will give the nameof the card and you will say, solemnly: "That is correct." Then go on with another trick hoping that the victim will not resent the practical joke too much. - /Clip the cut avid paste 4i, with, other of the aeries. €ra;a scraVboo!c.}r ER WEATHER D ON 111111 ONES Our Canadian- winters' are exceeding- ly herd on the, health of little ones.
