A MEXICAN HoTEL.-The Mexican ho-
tel furnishes lodging-that is all. You en-,
gage your room by the day or month, and
you get your bed and toilet. OF course
we ring for the ice water, and the waiter
brings US water without ice; we ask if we
cant get ice, and are told that we can if
we send out and buy it, Before going to
bed my chum bethinks me of his physic
and asks for warm water; the waiter can t
get US any warm water because the only
place to get it is at the bathing establish
ment, and that is closed at 9: 30. We need

The force of the hotel consists of a sad
looking clerk, who writes the names of the
guests in chalk on a blackboard, a melan-

two walters on each floor. 1t is owned by

Books ON THE BRAIN.-Josoph Sabine,
who died at New York recently, aged CO.,
Yas the best book expert in the country.
Born IN Northamptonshire, Eng his in
innate acquaintance with the rank and file
of the vast army of books with which the
world is overrun was due in some measure
to the thorough training given by long
apprenticeship to an Oxford stationer. At
the beginning of the war he opened store
in New York and began dictionary of
the titles of all books relating to America.
Thirteen volumes of this dictionary have
appeared, the last covering the letter O.,
and more than 100000 books are named.
He astonished the New York book con-
noisseurs at in auction once by bidding 80
for a copy of "Smith's History of New
York" printed in London in 1853, more
than they could think it worth. But when
it was knocked down to him he explained
that it was printed on paper little wider
than the ordinary edition, and he sold it
for 5000. He could recognize books even
when wrapped up. Where are you
going with that Hogarth?" he once cried
to Il passing friend with parcel under his
arm. though not of unusual size or shape
1t is said he could walk by the shelves of
any large library and tell something in
teresting about 80 900 out of 100, 900 books
He bought for many libraries and collect
ors, and had the reputation of compiling
more catalogues than any man in the
country. At this, as well as at great book
sales, he made a great deal of money,
netting it is thought $4,000 out of the three
Brinley sales; but of late years the in
practicability which seems characteristic
of bibliophiles has lessened his pros perty
Though bis vitality has been recently im-
paired by Bright's disease, of which he
died, he presisted in going TO his store up
to the last for the companionship he found
in his rare volumes.

CHOOSING YOUR AssoCIATEs-One OF
the most endearing connections with this
life is to know that we have friends whom
we have tried aud can trust. Such friends
are very scarce, and perhaps, rarer still
are those people who know or are capable
of Judging when they have such friends.
Our characters are formed for good or bad
from the company we keep. Confidence
in our power to refrain from the vices of
others too often lead to the risk of ming
ling with associates whom we know to be
our interiors both mentally and morally.
The daily influence of such company will
blind us to what we know to be wrong and
we are unconsciousy led into acting in
such manner as we would have former
y condemned.
In forming friendships avoid these types,
and let your mode of living be directed
by comparing your daily actions with the
standard of what you conscientlously
consider morally right. Beware of the
two. faced man. A slur coming from one
that is supposed to be your friend carries
with it more destruction than many things
equally untruthful from every known
enemy you have. You had better make
such men your outright enemies rather
than have them continue as your apparent
friends. Simply ignore them and waive
all com bativeness with them; that is, SO
far as your intuitively revengeful nature
will allow.

DRUNKARD MAKERS.-Do ldress one
whose regular employment in life is to
minister to this appetiteP Get out of that
business If woe be pronounced upon
the man who gives his neighbor drink how
many woes must be hanging over the man
who does this every day and every hour in
the day!
God knows better than you do yourself
the number of drinks you have poured out.
You keep list; but more accurate list
has been kept than yours. You NAV call
it Burgundy, Bourbon, Cognac, Heidsick
Hook; God calls it strong drink. Whether
you sell it in a low oyster cellar, or behind
the polished counter of II first class hotel,
The divine curse is upon you. I tell you
plainly that you will meet your customers
one day when there will be no counter be-
tween you. When your work is done on
earth, and you enter the reward of your
business, all the souls of the men you have
destroyed will crowd around you and pour
their bitterness into your cup They will
show you their wounds, and say, you
made them; and point to their unqueuch-
able thirst, and say, lyon kindled it,. and
rattle their chain, and say, You forged
it," Then their united groans will smte
your ear; and with the hands out of which
Won once picked the sixpences and dimes,

precplces while rolling up from beneath
and breaking among the crags will Lhun-
der:
