Hinta on Reading.

The readers Coleridge has divided in
to four classes. He says: 'The first
class of readers may be compared to an
hour-glass, their reading being as the
sands; it runs in and runs out and
leaves not vestige behind. A second
class resembles sponge, which imblbes
everything and returns it in nearly the
same state. A third class is like jelly
bag, which allows all that is pure to
pass away, and retains only the refuse
and dregs. The fourth class may be
compared to the slave of Golconda,
who, casting aside all that is worthless
preserves only the pure gems" 1t is to
be feared that in the present day the
greatest number of readers belong to
the first of these classes. The amount
read is something almost fabulous, but
the results are comparatively trifiing.
Volume after volume is perused; PAM
phlets and papers are mentally consum-
ed, but the stores of knowledge are not
peroeptibly increased. This charge lies
only against those who read secular
works; it applies to too great an extent
TO those who read the Scriptures and
other treatises upon things divine. Lord
Bacon once said that reading makes
full man." He could not have meant
the kind of reading that is now too
prevalent. The omniuOrous readers,
the readers who skim through page
after page; the butterfly readers, who
taste some flowers of literature here
and there, but never settle down to a
resolute extraction of the sweets, are
found at the years end, after all their
reading, not more ''full' intellectually,
but often more foolish than before. Why
is this? Because in these express days
the reading has been done as quickly as
possible. and because what is read one
hour is buried beneath heap of multi
farious matter the next hour. But if a
man read upon prudent plan, if he
digest what he mentally receives, his
reading will become delightful source
of very extensive information and sound
wisdom. ".r g.
Reading should be in moderation. 1t
is possible to devour whole libraries and
yet learn nothing. 1t is said that Miss
Martlneau often read in one hour no
more than single page OF good BOOK.
An eminent divine and author is said to
have had but three books-the Bible,
Josephus' works and Cruden's Concord
anee. A celebrated French author be-
ing laughed at because of the smallness
of his library, replied, "Ah, when l
wanted book make it," On the other
hand, Madame de Stael-Holstein is said
to have devoured 600 novels before she
was Is years of age, and to have read
those 600 in three months-on an aver
age six each day! Louis XVI, while i'm
prisoned for period of five months and
seven days, read 157 volumes, or one
book day. Such literary gluttony
could have left little good result. Too
much reading is as injurious to the mind
as too much feeding is to the body

VS., 80, 81 require little explanation. John

menting other writers, and his aim is, now
that the nature of Jesus is being discussed by
Greeks, ETC., to show that he is the son Of God,
and that, believing him, his readers might
have life through his name" What an in
strument God made him!
The teacher may well point out the ample
evidence of Christ's rising; the fact that he is
revealed as divine Redeemer; that his disci-
pies, sent as he was, are to serve through
suffering and death il need be; the gentleness
of Jesus, going after the one wandering sheep
and bringing him back; the fitness of his deal

German Girls.

There is less difficulty in German girls
of the middle class finding suitable
partners for life than is the case in the
same class in England, says writer in
the National ReView. German girls,
as a matter of course, take their share
in household work. This does not pre-
vent their being frequently very accom-
plished, often excellent musicians, but
it does prevent great deal of restless
ness and vague discomfort. A young
man who marries in that class knows
that he may reasonably expect his bride
to be a good housewife. If he is in the
upper middle class-for instance shop
keeper-his wife often keeps the ac-
counts of the shop. l have wondered
at the close attention to business details
shown by women who might have ex-
pected to be spared such exertions. But
| was assured they preferred to be thus
occupied; partly in order to save their
children. 1t seemed to me that the
master and mistress in most shops were
on friendly terms with their assistants,
who were permitted to rest at intervals
during the day in q room behind the
shop.

A Tale OF Mystery.


The villages Of Gibsonburg and He
lena, lying about eighteen miles north
of here. writes a Tiffin, Ohio, corre-
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. are at present agitated over
mystery which sayors somewhat OF the
tales of the Bender family and legends
Of old. About thirty years ago a strang-
er appeared in that vicinity and IN
quired for family named Miller. He
claimed to be a bachelor from Pennsyl-
vania who had $4,000 to invest in a
farm. He was shown the Miller resi-
dence and remained short time with
them. In fact, he was never seen to
leave, though members of that family
stated he had gone out west
. The Miller family, consisting OF three
brothers, one of whom was married,
had bad reputation. but no suspicious
were aroused against them, not even
when, several months later, letters were
received from relatives of the missing
stranger inquiring about him and say
ing he had never been heard from. An
investigation was then made, but devel-
oped nothing. After short time the
incident was all but forgotten.
Several years later the wife Of the
married brother died. and just few
hours before she expired she began to
talk in wild. rambling manner of a
burial in field. Her husband, who
was present. placed his hand over her
mouth, almost strangling her, and Or
dered everybody from the room. She
died in few moments.
Immediately after the death of the
woman, at q certain place in neigh
boring field. various parties noticed the
grass trampled down in a circle us
though done by horses attached to
horsepower, but there was no tracks of
horses feet. This remained for several
days and disappeared. Fourteen years
later one of the brothers died, and the
grass at the same spot resumed the
same appearance of being trampled
and remained several days and again
disappeared: A week ago another one
of the brothers died, and the ground in
the same place in the meadow, though
having been plowed number of times,
again resumed a circular trampled ap-
pearance.
This at last thoroughly aroused the
neighborhood. and an investigation has
been decided upon. 1t is thought this
strange acting ground holds the secret
of the disappearance of the stranger
of many years ago, and an attempt will
be made to wrest it away by excavating.
Several parties are already at work. but
have not as yet discovered anything.
The outcome of it all is awaited with
great interest by people from all sec
tons of this part of the country.

Mistakes of Vegetable Growers.

One of the great mistakes which
American gardeners make consists of
allowing green vegetables to grow too
large and rank before gathering them.
Turnips. carrots. beets, radishes, etc.,
should be gathered while they are small,
and delicate in flavor. String beans
should not be picked after the seed be-
gins to form in the pod, or they will be
found tough and not very digestible
when cooked. Pick green peas before
the peas are fully grown. When allow
ed to grow to a large size they acquire
a strong flavor and become less digesti-
BILE. OF course, such varieties as the
marrowfats and champions will be both
large and tender. Sweet corn should
have the ears just filled, but the kernels
should be tender and juicy.-AariG
ParioG, in Good Housekeeping.
