TnkIng and Giving Adviae.

Taking good advice is quite different
from giving good advice. Almost every
body knows how to do the second; next to
nobody knows how to do the first. Yet
taking good advice is, normally, at least
quite as important as giving good advice;
and in the present state of the world, it is
much more important. What sudden
change there would be in this laundering
old world, if the taking of good advice
we're as easy and as pleasant as its Civ
ing,
1t was favorite thought and conceit
of the classical writer's that men We're di-
vided into three classes: Men, who,
themselves, knew what they ought to do
men, who did not, themselves know, but
who were willing to learn from others
what they should do: and men who neither
knew nor would learn from others, what
was best for them to do. If one can't join
the choice few who form the first of
these three classes, ne ought atleast to see
that be does not belong 10 the ignoble
many who form the third.

The Bailiff mSulted Him.
Atlanta Constitution.

Here is story that is to good to keep.
] have young friend. / will call him
Snodgrass because that is not his name,
Now Snodgrass has very large ideas and a
very small income. His list of creditors
is as long as the Declaration of
Independence The same might be said
of the faces of the various and sundry
collectors. 1t seems to be generaly agreed
that in the management of these financial
affairs Snodgrass is not to do any of the
walking. Snodgrass occupies a "sweet'
of rooms the root of which is up dusty
stairway. To be fashionable Snodgrass
sleeps late. The other morning the boy
who sweeps up the sweet of rooms for
Snodgrass Inadvertently left the door
open and bailiff got in with view to
levying fl. ia. on the good and chattels
of Snodgrass. Snodgrass was asleep, and
the bailiiT shook HIM gently. Snodgrass
awoke and demanded why he had been
aroused.
"Mr. Snodgrass," said the bailiff, sit is
painful duty, but have come to levy a
fl. fa."
"Why, man." exclaimed Snodgrass, an
grily, what do you mean by disturbing &
gentleman in this fashion? Go into the
next room there and wait until | finish
my morning nap"
The bailiff withdrew, SRodgrass turned
over and slept for an hour, during which
time the patient bailiff waited.
Gentle reader, do you think you
know Snodgrass? Perhaps you know
one of him. His name is legion.

Too Many Cheap Books.

The literary pirates of this city have
so savagely cut one another's throats that
the loss of blood seems likely to kill most
of them, writes New York CORES pendent
of The Baltimore American. Alarming
weakness is exhibited in several instances
Each concern has been eager to slash into
its competitor and has done so in man
ner to inhict self.iuju-y. Every foreign
novel, no matter whethdr there was a
reasonable chance or not that it would
have any sale, has been grabbed at the
earliest wossiblt momest by three to six
of the Library" publishing firms and
hastily thrown upon the oyerstocked
market on terms that allowed the retail
ers to return unsold copies. SO complete
have the mechanical resources of the
pirates become that in three establish
ments the entire work, including typesett-
ing printing, and binding, is done by
machines. The stolen matter can be
rushed through in ten hours when driven
at the quickest. The celebrity of the pro
cess has tempted the publishers to vast
overproduction. A member of one firm
declares that not more than one book in
twenty in the cheap libraries repays the
cost of issue and that, even with the most
popular novelists' stories, duplicate piracy
divides the profit iuto small portions.
Heavy capital is required, because all the
stock in the hands of the retailers through
out the country if owned by the publisher
during the six months that it is left on
sale Within a month the peturns of cop
les have been enormously increased.
While the aggregate sales have lessened,
the stock issued has multiplied through
hot rivalry. Intellectual efforts have been
made to bring about compact under
which the foreign novels should be appor
toned among the libraries, in the way
the regular wublishers used to do, but
nothing has come out Of it. Now, rumors
are afoat of insolvencies and impending
bankruptcies.

stammered, as follows:

down this street on your left two blocks,
then turn again two blocks to your left,
and again two blocks to your left and that
will bring you to the best hardware shop
in town, where you will be sure TO find
them
The stammerer continued his way. The
wag, walking down the street two blocks,
entered the aforesaid hardware shop, and

"Yes, sir"

"Yes, sir"

Exit rapidly. Presently the unlucky
stammerer, having described a square of
two blocks, arrived at the hardware shop,
and entering, asked innocently:

"Get ont of here!" etc. etc, etc.

This is the case in the hive; the free

easily seen by his letter where his mind is
at present:
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July Is, 1886.
DEAR PAPA:
l got here safe and sound last evening
about dark 1t was a splendid trip and
according to promise l will write you all
about it. The only thing regretted in
leaving is that missed seeing the last
game of the series between the Alleghenys
and the Nets, but we got Telegram last
night that the game went all right. What
a dandy pitcher that Morris is. Pa, you
should go to see some of the games. You
don't know what you miss. You might
take take ma, too, on Thursdays, no
charge for ladies on that day. general
ly sit on the right, where | can see the
fellows put out on first. If you had been
there the other cay and seen Shomberg's
third-baser, you'd gone home wild. Shom-
berg Is the new man-new first baser for
the Allegheny's. But forgot that you
don't know anything about baseball.
The first place we stopped at was at
Rochester, about % miles out. | don't
think they have club there-though
boy on the platform told me there was
one at Beaver and another at New Brigh
ton, towns near by. | am sorry l could
| could not find out how they stood; they
are not in the association anyhow. After
while we got out in the hills and when
we got past Dennison, and from that all
the way to Columbus, | never saw such
baseball country. You may not believe
me but there is iust one field after an
other-only most of them were allowed
to grow in corn and wheat this year. This
is the country where the Sunday school
excursions should run to-plenty of room
for all the boys to play, and no such thing
as allowing only two bags for three
baser when the balls hit the rocks, as they
are at Rock Point, and all those other
places.
| suppose that before the Columbus
club was sold to Pittsburg all these corn
fields were diamonds. 1t certainly looks
desolate to see all these cattle roaming
and nothing but harvest hands trudgmg
along.
like Columbus, but | don't want to
stay here long. Next vacation please
send me to Cleveland or some other town
where they have a live club. Columbus is
the capital of Ohio-the proprietor of the
place told me that it was named after
Christopher Columbus, who discovered
America in 1892. You see l have done as
l said got the history of the place the
first thing.
The Columbus people are most as proud
of the Allies as we are; guess they must
be sorry they sold out.
l am going to New York on an excur-
sion to see the Newarks va. Zainesvilles
this afternoon and will write you de-
scription of that place also, as soon as l
get back,

New Way to Take Care OF a Babe on the Cars.

New Way to Take Care of a Babe on the Cars.
Saw a rather odd thing in a drawing
room car out in Iowa the other day"
said commercial traveller: "there was
young mother aboard and she only had
three children to look after. The two
older ones were lively little rats, who
kept skipping all over the car, getting
into all sorts of mischief and leading the
poor mother a lively race. The puzzle
with her was what to do with the young
est, well-behayed fat babe of six months
OF course, the child was too small to sit
m by itself, and just large enough to
s4uirm around and fall to the floor if
laid down. The mother couldI t very
well run after her older rogues and car
ry the babe with her and she was in a
great quandary as too how to manage
her troublesome brood. Finally a happy
thought struck her. She took two large
safety pins, pinned the infant by its
short clothes TO the upholstering of the
seat, and thus had her hands free for her
