The San Francisco Examiner is
right when it says that the great
error of our modern school system,
both public and private, is that mere
acquisition is regarded and treated
as the object of study. The mind is
assumed to be a meal bag, which
must be filed, and not as an instru-
ment Of great delicacy, which is to
be adjusted and brought into the
most efficient condition for use.

OLD LIBRARIANS.

The Effect Constant Companionship With
Books Has Upon Their Custodinns.
The old Librarian was q peculiar
character. as these officials are apt tc
be. They have a curious kind Of

way. They know the backs of books,
their title-pages, their popularity or
want of it, the class of readers who
call for particular works, the value Of
different editions. and good deal be.
sides. Their minds catch up hints
from all manner of works on all kinds
of subjects. They will give visitor a
fact and q reference which they are
surprised to find they remember and
which the visitor might have hunted for
ayear. Every good Librarian. every pri-
vate book-keeper, who has grown into
his library. finds he has q bunch of
nerves going to every bookcase, q
branch to every shelf and q twig to
every book. These nerves get very
sensitive in old librarians sometimes,
and they do not like to have q volume
meddled with any more than they
would to have their naked eyes ham
died. They come to feel at last that the
books of great collection are q part,
not merely Of their own property,
though they are only the agents for
their distribution. but that they are, as
it were. outlying portions of their own
organization. The old Librarian was

books, IS he called them Oliver Wen

WHAT MAKES HER DEAR.

Il is not the sparkling light of her eyes,
Nor the beautiful sheen on her ripping
hair,
Nor the arching mouth so wnsome wise,
Nor her rosy cheeks that makes her fair
Nor is 1t the tint of her waxen ska,
Nor the lightsome tread of her dainty ieet'
Nor her tiny Fly white hands wherein
Iieth the charm that makes her sweet.
Nor Is 1t the ring of her merry laugh,
Like ripping music, low and clear
An innoct mt child, a woman half
1t Is not these that make her dear.
II is not the dimples in her pink cheeks,
Though happy love might Turk therein,
And mischief like n fairy, seeks
To hide away in her dimpled chin.
1t is not the charm of her lovely face,
The snowy shoulders and rounded arms,
Nor the dainty, delicate, girlsh grace
OF slender finger, that wins and charms.
But It is the light of her soul so pure
That shines from her beaming hazel eyes
The spirits beauty, that shall endure
When every charm of girlhood dies
sTSs the tender heart, so true and kind,
That clothes her with magic grace;
The beauty of a guileless mind,
That gives the charm to her sweet face.
rTis purity that makes her fair,
And goodness makes her dear and sweet;
It's these good gifts beyond compare
That make my darling's charm complete.

AMBERGRlS.

A Valuable Product which Is the Result
of Disease I'm tho Whale.
A valuable product of this whale is
the..remarkable substance called amber
gris-i. e., gray amber. Until late
years ambergris could only be found
floating on the surface of the sea, the
coasts of Africa, Brazil and the Bahia
mas being the usual localities for it.
The color of ambergris when broken is
ashen gray. mostly clouded with red
dish hue, and diversified with irregular
streaks of yellow and black spots. On
the exterior it is black and shining,
and looks as if it had here and there
been daubed with pitch. 1t is mostly
found in Jumps varying in weight from
half an ounce to hundred pounds, or
even more. As it is worth about a
guinea per ounce. large piece is of
very great value; so that a party of
sailors who once found a lump of
fifty pounds weight and knew the
value of their discovery, deserted
their ship and went home with
their prize. Ambergris has now been
robbed of its mysteries and is known to
be unprosaically formed by morbid
condition of the intestine, and there
fore each whale is carefully searched be-
fore the body is cut adrift after the blub-
Der and spermaceti have been removed.
Not one whale in fifty, however. pro-
duces single ounce of ambergris. The
black spots which have been mentioned
are the hard beaks of octopods which
the whale has eaten, and which retain
their shape after the soft flesh has been
digested. The geological reader may
remember that the beaks of cuttles
have been found within the bodies of
certain fossil reptiles, thus showing
conclusively what was the nature Of
their food. There are several speci-
mems in the College of Surgeons, one
being a valuable object. as it is cylin-
drical, and retains the shape of the in.
testine in which it was formed. Am
bergris is little used in Europe, but in
the East it is held In high reputation,
partly as perfume, and partly as q
valuable ingredient in cookery.-LoHq-
mans Magazine.

The Queen of All.

Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep furrOws on her
cheeks, but is she not sweet and beauti-
tul now? The lips are thin and shrun-
ken, but those are the lips which have
kissed many hot tear from the child
ish cheeks, and they are the sweetest
lips in all the world. The eve is dim,
yet it glows with the soft radiance of
holy love which can never fade. An,
yes, she is a dear old mother. The
sands of life are nearly run out, but,
feeble as she is, she will go further and
reach down lower for yen than any
other upon earth. You cannot walk
into a midnight where she cannot see
YOU; you cannot enter a prison whose
bars will keep her out; you can never
mount a scaffold too high for reach,
that she may kiss and bless you in
evidence of her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and forsake you.
when it leaves you by the waysIde to
die unnoticed, the dear old mother will
gather you in her feeble arms and carry
you home and tell you of all your vir-
tues, until you almost forget that your
sonl is disfgured by vices. Love bel
tenderly and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion.
