Each brimmcd with pure intense and per.

Alone and spotless In her virgin fame.
Hex life upheld the years immortal claim.

Now life grows cold meath cold and drcary

AMONG THE BOOKS.
~ REV. l.. REYNOLDS.

There is no better mental discipline, no
more real and valuable culture than that
which comes from the study OF English
literature. Edward Eggleston regards as
the better part of his education, that which
he has acquired In the study of the English
clasSIcs-not merely in reading them but
in mastering them in imbibing their spirit,
and becoming familiar with their mastery
use of language. President Elliott says
precise and elegant use of good strong
English. The readiest means of acquiring
this is by becoming thoroughly acquainted
with the best English books. A knowledge
of books and judicious selection of them
is of great Importance, and no better help
in this direction can be found than Fred B.
Perkins Best Reading" published by
Putnam Sons, New York, price sl.75. 1t
contains price list, topically arranged, OF
the most valuable books In the market.
The comparative merits Of books and
authors are indicated by letters and figures
which are regarded as the best. 1t is a
book that will save much time that might
without, be wasted on inferior books, and
much money that might be wasted in their
purchase.
As means of giving one a critical in
sight into our literature, Taines History Of
English Literature is a most valuable help.
This was formerly high priced work, but
is now issued by Thomas Y. Crowell, IA
Broadway, New York, for Sl.50. 1t con-
tains 722 pages of good readable type, sub
stantlally bound, and is remarkably cheap
book for these times of cheap books
Every page is brilliant and fairly sparkles
with true French vivacity. If you pos
sess any love of literature you hurry from
page to page Of this work and from author
to author with all the eagerness with which
you turn the pages of an intensely inter-
esting novel. Yet the criticisms are just,
and looking, as you are kindly permitted to
do, with Taine's keen insight, you are
enabled to get broad and deep view of
our leading authors and works.
IL you wish to test your present knowl-
edge OF literature, get Louise Maerty's
New Method for the Study of English
Literature" published by S. C. Griggs &
Co., Chicago, at Sl.0O. Sit down and ask
yourself the questions contained in this
book and you will be surprised to find how
limited is your knowledge Of English litera-

BALD HEADS.

If one may judge from the exceptional
case of Elisha, badness seems to have been
considered disgrace among the Jews in
remote ages, still disgrace with which it
was not permitted to reproach an honora-
bic man. The punishment inflicted by
divine interposition, and at the express
solicitation of the prophet, upon forty un'
fortunate children, seems to persons of
the present day-even, it may be added,
to those who have lost their hair-rather
severe Lovers of analogies, condolences
and contrasts may be invited to remark
that the grease of wild beasts employed
as instruments of vengeance against the
little ones who taunted the good old
prophet with his badness was in later
centuries to be employed as a capillary
restorative. The strength Of Sampson
and the beauty of Absalom lay in their
hair, and there is significance, no doubt,
in the fact that through their hair both OF
them came to grief. Among the Greeks
the two most famous bald men were
.Eschylus and Ulysses. The badness OF
E.schylus is known to have been the
cause of his death, an eagle, carrying
tortoise in its claws, having dropped its
prey with view of breaking the shell
upon what it took to be rock, but which
was in fact the shining skull of great
tragic poet. The badness of Ulysses is
commemorated in the Odyssey, and
the fearful vengeance taken upon the
suitors of Penelope seems to have been
in great measure due to pleasantries in
which one of them INDUCED concerning
the glittering aspect presented by her hus-
bands Uranium. Badness, however, was
no more admired in those days than in
our own; and when Ulysses was restored
to youth stress is laid upon the fact that
locks of the most luxuriant kind were
given back to him. julius Caesar was
notorious for his badness, and the jokes
made on this subject by his soldiers on
the occasion of one of his triumphal en-
tries into Rome are only too we'll known.
Nor need the story be here repeated of
the pleasure he took in wearing a wreath
which covered his denuded temples, and
which, according to one Roman historian,
was his chief reason for valuing it. 1t
may be remarked, however, that the life.
like bust of julius Caesar in the British
Museum is not that of man who at the
present day would be considered bald.
The hair is not thick and is brushed for
ward in style which indicates desire
to make up for certain want of hair in
the region of the forehead and the tenn
pie. Something, however, must be al
lowed for the complimentary disposition
of the sculptor reproducing the head of
an all.powerful commander and ruler who
was known not to be without personal
vanity.

ways safe to run when jim is on the look


ways safe to run when Jim is on the look
out Smart as he is he cannot with in
fallible judgment decide upon the guilt or
innocence of the runner. One night
winter before last, when on post with
Chapman. he saw a man run out of a
barroom whence issued sounds indicating
fight jim caught the man by the tail
of his ulster, and held him until police
man came up. This time the prisoner
proved to be one who had run out of the
place to escape being mixed up in the
fight.
One of Jim's more recent exploits was
when he avenged the death of another
dog. IL was on the 22d of May. Phillip
Sporza, an Italian organ grinder. was
playing in front of Ieopolds Abrams
butcher shop at 2s5 West Thirty. second
street. Edward Murphy and two friends
came along, upset Abrams ash barrel,
and threw ashes over Sporza. At this
Abram in,erfered. A tussel followed in
which Murphy snapped pistol twice at
the butcher. Thereupon Mrs. Abram
opened the cellar door and let out big
bloodhound who jumped on Murphy and
bore him TO the ground One of the other
men grabbed the pistol and shot the big
dog dead, and then the trio took 10 their
heels. At this juncture Chapman and
Jim appeared on the scene. The latter
gave chase TO the men, overlook Murphy,
fastened his teeth in his leg and wouldn't
let go. In vain Murphy kicked, pounded
and swore. The dog held on, and Chap
man arrested the fellow, who is now serv-
ing six months term on Blackwells
Island.
Last summer it was thought that
vacation and country air would do Jim
good, and Chapman took him down TO
his brother-in-law's in New Brighton,
Staten Island, and left him there. That
night Jim disappeared. Forseveral weeks
his friends did not know where he was.
Evidently he was doing the island pretty
thoroughly. One day he appeared on
Broadway. He trotted sedately up the
busy thorouhgfare. and at every police
man he saw he stopped and gazed intent
ly At length he reached the Thirtieth
street station, and stopped in front Of
Policeman Neihof and wagged his TAIL
"ls that you, Niger Jim" exclaimed
Neihof.
Niger jim barked and jumped, and
cooked his ears and wagged his tail He
remained on post with Neihoff that day
and went with him to the station. He
received warm greeting from MS friends
there.
He is of considerable use at the sta
ton. His usual place when not on duty
is at the front door. No crowds can
gather around that door If they at
tempt 20 he dashes at them with open
mouth and loud barks. They generally
scatter
He is now getting along in years, but
is still very active. A cart ran over his
leg and broke it some time ago. The
police surgeon set the broken bone, and
now the leg is as good as ever. jim is
getting gray around the muzzle, and
likes to lie down little more than OF old.
He is we'll known in his precinct, and no
dog catcher disturbs him.
