4. is an interesting fact that the univer-
sal reading Of newspapers in our town
does not interfere with the popular study
Of books.
The book publishers are agreed in say
ing that there are more books, and more
Of the best class of books, sold in onr
times than were sold at any period in the
past.
The Merchantile library has circulated
Isl 900 volumes within a year, and there
are other libraries in the city, such as the
Apprentices, the Bond street, and the
Cooper Union. which give ms reports that
would astonish the ancients Of the last
generation.
The young men, it appears, are reading
the books OF the eminent historians and
novelists and philosophers md scientists
and critics and essayists and poets. They
are reading them to procure knowledge Of
the great themes that are Of interest to
mankind. They are reading to enlarge
their rang OF thought and promote mental
cultivation. Everyone Of them s sure to
6nd the advantage Of it In the course OF
his life.
The facts are encouraging. The study
Of the best works Of the great authors can
not be neglected without loss for which
there is NO compensation.-NeU lor1

Uses Ofthe Lemon.

Lemonade from juice Of the lemon is one
Of the best and safest drinks for any per-
son, whether In health or not. It il suit
able for all stomach diseases, gravel, liver
complaint, inflammation OF the bowels and
fever. Il is a specific against worms and
skin complaints. Lemon juice is the best
anticorbntic remedy known. II not cnly
cares this disease, but prevents il. Sailors
make daily use Of it for this purpose. I
advise everyone to rub their gums with
lemon juice to keep them in good condi-
tion. The hands mud nails are kept clean,
white, soft and supple by the daily use Of
lemon instead Of soap. It also prevents
chilblains.
Lemon is often used in intermittent
fever, mixed with strong. hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the parts affected with cut
emon. It is valuable, also, to cure warts
and to destroy dandruif on the head. by
rubbing the roots Of the hair with it. 1t
will alleviate and finally cure coughs and
colds and heal diseased lungs, il taken hot
ON going to bed at night. Its uses are
manifold, and the more We employ it ex-
~ternally the better we shall find ourselves
Lemon juice is good in removing tartar
from the teeth, anti febrile, etc. A doctor

Rough Experience OF a Yaohtman.

CHICAGO April "a dispatch from Adrian,
Mich. says: William &. Waldby has returned
from Florida to recover from the effects Of q
trying adventure. Mr. Waldby aud friend
went yachting expedition recently along
the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. During the
storm they were cast on the rocks of small un-
inhabited island, about two miles from the
main land. Their boat wrecked and after
three days they began to give up all hope of
rescue. no boats passing near the island. Some
wild berries which grew there served to prev ent
starvation. On the fifth day Maldby decided to
try TO reach the main land By swimming. After
q seyere struggle, he reached the shore at a
point several miles from any nabitation.
Waldby was nearly naked and had TO walk
along the tlinty coast for six miles before he saw
