PSYCHOLOGY. 
= Tue Practicat Types or Minp.—Men may be divided into 
three classes with reference to the practical use they make of ther 
intellectual powers, which use is generally an indication of th 
type of intellect which they possess. These types are the mer 
cantile, the literary and the scientific. 
Thg first is occupied in accumulating material possessions 
which often involves the deprivation of other people of them 
Their reasoning powers are much occupied in calculating values 
and in scheming to get control of the sources of physical power 
It is a necessary outcome of the struggle for existence and is best 
developed in those whose struggles are most recent. This isa 
good training school, but a bad state to be permanent. i 
The literary mind deals largely with the manner of things, 
while the other two minds deal with the matter. Its field is with 
the beauties and refinements of life, and by sugar-coating te 
severities, performs great service in our education. Symbols are 
its instruments, and these it is prone to mistake for things. 
The scientific mind occupies itself with realities, and 
value in the truth. This it seeks for and sets forth at all hazards. 
It finds its pleasure in mental rather than material 
and counts its wealth in ideas. It differs from the peer 
mind in this, that it gives away its commodity for te 
of others, while the mercantile sells to the highest bidder. oie 
Sometimes two or more types of mind are hears Coe 
same person, which may be a fortunate conjunction. —+ #
