A True Man.

quit the society OF the young and
take pleasure in listening TO the
kindly voice Of the aged show as a
man who is ever ready 10 pity and

who covers the faults Of others

The Cure for Gossip.

An exchange asks: What is the
cure for gossip? Simply culture.
There is a great deal of gossip that
has no malignity in it. Good peo
pie talk about their neighbors be-
cause they have nothing else to
tol4s about. There comes to us the
picture of a family OF young ladies.
We have~seen them at home, we
have met them at the galleries of
art, we have caught glimpses of
them going from a bookstore or Ii
brary with a fresh volume in their
hands. When we meet them they
are full of what they have seen and
read. They are brimming with
questions. One topic of converse
tion is dropped only to give place
to another in which they are inter
ested. We have left them, after a
delightful hour, stimulated and re-
freshed, and during the whole hour
not neighbours garment was soiled
by so much as a touch. They had
something to talk about. They
knew something and wanted to
know more. They could listen as
well as they could talk. To speak
freely of a neighbours doings and
belongings would have seemed an
impertinence to them, and of course
an impropriety. They had no
temptations to gossip, because the
doings OF their neighbors formed a
subject much less interesting than
those which grew out of their
knowledge and their culture.
And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed gossip is always
either malicious or Ignorant The
one variety needs a change of heart,
and the other change of pasture.
Gossip is always personal profes
sion, either of malice or imbecility,
and the young should not only shun
it, but by the most thorough cul-
ture relieve themselves from all
temptation to indulge in it. 1t is
low, frivolous and too often dirty
pastime. There are country neigh
borhoods where it RACES like a pest.
Churches are split IN pieces by it.
By it neighbors are made enemies
for life. In many persons it degen-
crates into a chronic disease which
is practically incurable. Let the
young cure it while they may.

Good Books for the People.

Persons who delight in good
books are rejoicing in the good
work being done by the American
Book Exchange, 55 Beekman street,
N. Y. By introducing the plan OF
publishing and selling books direct
to purchasers, instead of giving the
large discounts usually allowed to
dealers and agents to sell for them
by working on the basis of the
present cost of making books, which
is about one half of what it was a
few years ago, and by printing very
large editions, which also greatly re
duces the cost as-compared with
small editions, they are able to fur
nish books at prices which, to most
people, seem truly astonishing, but
which they say are only reasonable.
They publish as follows:
Chambers Cyclop@dia of English
Literature, vols, 16 mo. Price,
Somplete, paper. $500; cloth, $500;
half morocco, $4.75; half moroc-
CO, bound, vols, 1915.

dou ble-column pages, large type,
Svo cloth, 1925; library sheep, 1915.
Josephus' Works, translated by
Winston, l,042 double column pa
ges, very large type, Svo cloth,
$500; library sheep, $3.50.
Arabian Nights, large type, 12mo
cloth, 50 cents.
Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress, very
large type, 12mo cloth, 30 cents
Baron Munchausen, very large
type, 12mo cloth, so cents.
From the above remarkably low
prices discount of 10 per cent. is
allowed to those ordering before
June l, and an additional discount
of 10 per cent. when ordered in
clubs of five or more copies of Ell
