a'he Way to Read Probably.

[John Morley's Miscellanies.]
Nobody can be sure that he has got
clear ideas on a subject unless he has
tried to put them down on piece Of
paper in independent words of his
own. II is an excellent plan, too,
when you have read good book, to
sit down and write q short abstract OF
what you can remember OF IL. 1t is
still better plan if you can make up
your mind toa slight extra labor, to do
wha, Lord Stafford and Gibbon and
Daniel Webster did. After glancing
over the title, subject or design of a
book, these eminent men would take
up pen and write roughly what
questions they expected to find answer
ed in it, what difficulties solved, what
kind OF Information impaired. Such
practices keep US from reading with
the eye only, gliding vaguely over the
page, and they help US to place our
new acquisitions in relation with what
we knew before. Ideas, relations,
statements of fact are not to be taken
by storm. We have to steep them In
the mind in the hope Of thus extract
ing their inmost essence and siguifi.
cance. IF one let's an interval pass and
then returns, it is surprising how clear
and ripe that has become which, when
we left it, seemed crude, obscure, full
of perplexity.

Did Washington Eat Green Pcas with a
Knlfog

tCosr. Magazine of America History.]
The follow extract Is taken from
the "Elementary History OF the Uaited
States," by q. T.. Quackenbos, 1856.
The author has not sinned enough in
repeating an absurd story about an at
tempt to poison General Washington
In June 1776, which has no foundation,
but he Is also guilty Of accusing tho
great hero Of eating green peas with
knife:
"Fixing his eyes upon the guilty
man, he put spoonful of peas on his
plate, and asked him, "Shan eat OF
these ?" Il don't know stammered
the man, turning deadly pale. Wash.
ington took some on his knife, and
again asked, "Shall ] eat of these ?"
The man could not say word, but
raised his hand as " to prevent It,"
1t is interesting also to note that
this sshistory" has been adopted by the
authorities of the city Of Brooklyn for
use In their schools.
