How the Best Ones Are Made and the
books Arranged.


Books Arranged.
The best bookcases are those made
half high, not those cumbrous, glass
doored edifices which indicate that the
contents are made to look ct, not to
read. The wood may be either hard
like cherry, ash, mahogany, or black
walnut, or merely pine-stained b rep.
resent either, according to the finish Of
the room, says Good Housekeeping.
The simplest bookcase is best of all.
End pieces about five feet high. with
grooves ON the inside to hold the
shelves, the fronts of which are either
rounded or finished with strips of
pinked leather, and the shelves them
gelyes can be made by an ordinary car
penter. Let it fill in the space be-
tween the chimney and end of the
room or the entrance doorway and the
side, varnish it, or stain and varnish,
and then proceed to arrange the
treasures of many lifetime. Do we
realize that these best works of good
men and women are the epitomes Of
vast labor, research and thought |?
Then let us house them with genuine
tenderness.
1t is a good plan to have the bottom
shelf broad enough to hold aliases and
books of reference, like heavy cyclope-
dias when laid on their sides, unless
we have for them special rests or
tables. Large, heavy leaves are in
clined to break away and drag down
from the back, and then q book soon
goes to ruin. That is the reason why
oh aL l.
pick up book by one cover only. Tt
tears the cover loose from the back.
For no reason ought child to be taken
by the ear except to show it how q
book feels--or to book lover seems to
feel-when dragged about by single
cover.
After the books are arranged in the
case there is left the upper shelf for
couple of pictures on easels, with q
central flower vase or bronze. But to
dedicate the space to an indiscriminate
lot of bric-a-brac is Dissertation. Nor
should it be used for an old paper
shelf; let papers be relegated to their
proper receptacles. It is, though, q
place for current magazines and book
or two subject to daily perusal
But the bookcase is not yet finished.
In front, depending from brass rod,
let us hang curtain of India silk, the
color of which shall harmonic with
the prevailing tint of the room. This
curtain should be drawn only when the
room is busted. On sweeping day q
muslin covarlkart for this purpose. is
thrown over the top, and reaches to
the floor, for our book lovers do not
tolerate dust on their volumes.

Tho Seat Of Pain and Pleasure,

The nervous system, often suffers a diminu-
ton Of vigor, and causes mental annoyance,
and even positive disturbance, without disease
in the scnsorium itself. 1t acts as mere re-
fector in many cases, of inaction In the
stomach, and consequently Of incomplete as
sanitation Of the food by the blood. This, OF
course, weakens It, in common with the rest OF
the tissues, and renders IL less able to bear
without suffering an ordinary strain that
would make no impression upon strong nerves.
To supply doncit Of strength, and remedy a
supersensitiveness in the nerves incident to
lack Of vigor, Hostetter's stomach Bitters Is far
bettor adapted than any mere nervlne on slinpis
tonic, since the offspring OF its use compie.es
digestion, Is the vigorous and early parent OF
nerve force and duietude. Malarial attacks,
rheumatism, bowel, liver and kidney complaints
succumb to the Bitters.
