more kindly appreciation of posterity

valuable time and untold trouble to

LITERARY vOLUPTUARIES.

Reading for Mere Pleasure ~ Against
Reading for study.
Perhaps the greatest pleasure in life
is an ill-regulated passion for reading.
Books are the best of friends, the most
complacent of companions. Unlike
their authors. they have no suscepti-
bilities to be ruiflcd. You may toss
them aside in passing fit of impa-
tience, to find yourself on as pleasant
terms As ever with them when your
humor changes. In that silent. though
eloquent and vivacious company, there
can be no monotony. rs there are no
jealOusies; and. indeed, Inconsistency
becomes Il duty and II virtue, rs with
the sage King solomon among his
hundreds Of wives. We may talk of
tossing cherished volumes aside, for
the literary voluptuary has nothing in
common with the luxurious collector.
The passion for exquisite Elzevirs, for
sumptuous editions in superb bind
ings is almost invariably nntipnthctical
to the love of reading. The collector
is curious about margins. Typography
and castings, but comparatively indif-
fcrent to contents. A library got to-
gethcr regardless of expense can sci.

ries of ventriloquism, professional
said:
II have made my living by it for
over quarter of century. After
twenty years experience of it had Il
severe illness. and was examined by y
specialist. His opinion was that the
forced changing Of the voice did not
affect the lungs at all. which so many
people seem to think. He said, Just

Now look well at my face and tell me
if you notice any thing additional to
what most folks have. No9 Look

distinctly visible at each corner of the
mouth. They had become gradually

"Ah! there's the rub Words with
those letters in them are the most diff.
cult to pronounce, but by inccssant
practice have found out n means Of
getting them quite naturally. and they
are produced with the tips of the tongue
and the teeth.
"Some ventriloquists substitute 'slur'
words in difficult sentences. Il wish

mama was herc,'' and he illustrated
his words as he spoke.

be produced. Are you rcadye'
He then took from the table M ordi-
nary tumblcr. saving: "See, there is
no deception. and placed it on the
cloth again.
Standing about couple of feet from
the table he commenced:
"Hallop how are you getting on

And coming nearer and nearer to tho

his mouth was close to the ed re OF the

remarkably easy to accomplish. The
whole effect is produced by speaking

into a small space, and it is perhaps
the most practical illustration of what
