THE HABIT OF RTADING.-''I have no time
to read, is the common complaint. and es-
pecially Of women, whose occupations are
such as to prevent continuous book perusal.
They seem to think, because they cannot
devote as much attention to books as they
are compelled to devote to their avOcations,
that they cannot read anything 1t isn't
the books we finish at sitting which always
do US the most good. Those we devour in
the odd moments half dozen pages at a
time, often give us more satisfaction. and are
more thoroughly digested fhan those We
make a particular effort to read. The men
who have made their mark in the world have
generally been the men who have in boyhood
formed the habit of reading at every avail
able moment, whether for five minutes or
five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than the
time at our command that helps US on the
road to learning. Many of the most cult
waited persons, whose names have been ia
nous as students, have given only two Or
three hours day to their books. If we
make use of spare minutes in the midst of
our work, and read little, if but page or
a paragraph, we shall find our brains quick
ened and our toll lightened by Just so much
increased satisfaction as the book give us.
Nothing helps along the monotonous daily
round so much as fresh and striking thoughts,
to be considered while our hands are busy.
A new idea from a new volume is like oil
which reduces the friction of the machinery
of life What we remember from brief
glimpses into book often serves as a stimu-
lus to action, and becomes one of the most
precious deposits in the treasury of our re-
collection. All knowledge is made up of
small parts, which would seem insignificant
in themselves, but which, taken together,
are valuable weapons for the mind and sub
stantial armour for the soul. "Read any,
thing continuously" says DIR. johnson,
Sand you will be | arned.' The odd min
utes which We are inclined to waste, if care
fully ayailed of for instruction, will. in the
long run, make golden hours and golden
days that we shall be ever thankful for
