'IIe has read evcrvthing,' is a remark
frequently Y made when . scholarly man
IS under discussion. How absurd such
q statcmcnt is will appear when the
fact IS mentioned that in the Congress
sional library ut Washington there are
over GOO 600 volumes. If they were
placed side by side they would fill u
shelf fifty miles long. If Il man start,
ed to read this collection at the rate of
one volume Il day, It would take him
$50 years to get through. And while
the man would be at work on tins vast
library the printers would be turning
out more than $1,000 new books IL
year. From these figures it will be
seen that it is idle TO think Of reading
everything, or even to read all the best
BOOKS. The greatest reading among
our distinguished men have had their
favoritc books, which they read and
rerca'. Certain books in cur lijnguage
are called classics. They are models Of
style and full OF ideas and illustrations
Modern writers 20 to these old ALL
thors and get humps Of solid gold
which they proceed to beat out very
thin. Why should we take the gold
leaf article when We can 80 to the
original mines ard get solid nuggets?
The old novels are the best The old
poets have not been equalled. Too
many of our new books are written
hastily too sell. They are Of an in
forior quality and cannot profit us in
any way. A man, therefore, need not
be ashamed to say that he has not
read the last new book. When forty
"cw books appear every day it is I'M
possible to read them all.-Atlanta
