 The young reader need scarcely be told that he must not get into the habit of desultory reading. Pycroft, in the preface of his book already mentioned, speaks Of young lady who devoted third part of her time to reading Russell's "Modern Europe" which she reads at the rate of never less than fifteen pages an hour, and sometimes more. Mir. Pycroft asked her what satisfaction this method of reading gave her, and she told him she was happy in the thought that she did her duty; that she kept her resolutions that she read as much as her friends; that continually fewer histories remained to be read, and that she hoped one day to excel in literature. know young man who, actuated by similar motives, read "Encyclopedis Americana" through in the same painstaking way.
 Reading according to mere mechani- cal rule of hours and pages can never be of much advantage. The student should be systematic in his method of acquiring knowledge, but, above all things, he should be interested in what he reads, as Shakespeare says:
 No profit goes where is no pleasure ta'en;
 In brief, sir, study what you most affect"
 Old Doctor Johnson's advice was to read the books you honestly felt a wish and curiosity to read. The fact that you desire to read certain book indicates that you are likely to get good out of it. "Our wishes are presentiments of our capabilities"

A Queer Old Fellow.
London Life.


 Of people who have curious ways of living, few can be more original than was the late Rev. Dunckley Thomas, who had engaged rooms in Mrs. Wildish's house in 1881 and lived there till 1887. He never permitted her or her servants to enter his room except once fortnight. He paid his rent weekly, and at each payment he also gave notice that he would quit in the week following. He never did quit, but he thus preserved his liberty unimpaired. Among his property, consisting of 6, ,00O or 0,O00 pounds, he had a note of deposit of l ,50O pounds, which, whenever he became i'll, he would always present to his landlsdy on the condition that if he recovered she should give it back to him. This occurred frequently, Mrs. Wildish always returning the note. Finally Mir. Thomas died, and his executor sued her for the note, which the courts finally gave to her.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have 8 rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the infamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of the mucus surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we cannot cure by talk ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

WHAT AND HOW TO READ.
Indenendent.

The number of books already pub lished is SO great and the increase is so constant that it is not surprising young students of literature seek advice on the subject of how and what to read In round numbers, suppose there arc about 25,000 new books published in the world each year. A single library Tn Paris is said to repre- sent about 10000 acres of printed paper; the British Museum has nearly the same amount, and it's book shelves would stretch distance of nearly forty miles. De Quincey, in his day, said ii would take over two thousand years to read through either of these two libraries should he do nothing but read. In the midst of this super abundance most readers will be glad to learn, on the authority of Emerson, that not more than six of the twenty year are really worth reading. Readers will also draw consolation from the thought that the more books there are published the greater is the need for condensation and epitomes, and that excellent books of that class arc from time to time being published in science, history and biography.
 can not hope to offer any new suggestions on this important and interesting subject. Some valuable guide books to courses of study and general knowledge have been written by very competent men, and l can do but little more than emphasize some of the wise suggestions they have made. The best books that have been written on this subject are, in my opinion, the Rev. Dr. Noah Porter's, Perkins, Wheatley's and Carlyle's address before the students at the Edinburgh University. Pycroft's "Course of English Reading pub lished in 1850, was one of the first books of this kind, and is still one ot the best. Potter's "Handbook for Readers and Students" published by the Harpers in 1858, is another guide to good reading which was very popular in its day.
 There are certain famous books which all well-informed persons are presumed to have read. Lists of such books have been given by the different writers on the subject of reading it will be interesting to reproduce some of them. Emerson classes as favorites : Froissart's. "Chronicles," Southey's "Chronicle of the Cid" Cervantes, Sully's "Memoirs," Rabelais, Mon- taigne, Izask Walton, Evelyn, Sir Thomas Browne, Aubrey Sterne, Horace Walpole, Lord Clarendon, Doctor Johnson, Burke, Lamb, Landor and De Quincey. Among the best gbeoks he names certain autobiogra- phies, as St. Augustine's "Confessions," 1" BeDvenuto Cellini's "Life," Lord llerbert's "Memoirs," "Memoirs of the Cardinal de Retz," Rousseau's "Coniessions," Linnaus' "Diary," Gibbon's, Hume's, Franklin's, Burns, Alfieri's, Goethe's and Haydon's auto- biographies.
 Pycroft's list includes "Esop's Fables" "The Arabian Nights" "Rob nson Crusoe," most of the Way erly novels, and pays of Shakespeare 1; "Don Quixote," "Gil Blas," "Pilgrim's Progress" "The Vicar of Wakefield" Goldsmith's "Deserted Village" Gray's "Elegy," the voyages of

Ghosts in a Turnpike Camp.

Rock Creek (Ark) Corr. New York Star.
 If the facts stated in the following ghost story were the product of the nervous mind of hysterical woman, one might pass them silently by as be- longing to that class of sensations. But they are told by a quiet and experienced man in perfect health, weighing l75 pounds, and whose per- sonal courage and calmness in times of excitement are undoubted. The author of the statements is Captian Dan O'Leary, contractor of the Rock Creek turnpike.
 The camp of his employes, in which the captain also stays himself, is situ- ated at the extreme end of the finished part of the turnpike, only few yards from the bank of Rock creek. at the spot where, in November, 1873, & man named Richardson and his wife and little girl were murdered. A negro named Charles Matlock was arrested a few days later charged with the mur- der, and on June l9, 1874, he was publicly hanged in the city of Little Rock.
 "Richardson and his wife and little daughter were immigrants on their way from Missouri to Texas. In November, 1873, he camped for the night on the bank of Rock creek, near the spot where the turnpike is now being built. Between ten and eleven o'clock that night a negro shot him dead from ambush, and rushing into the camp seized an sx and cleaved the mothers head from her shoulders. He then took the little girl by the heels and knocked her brains out against tree. He threw his victims into the creek, where they were found the next day. At the trial of Matlock the guilt seemed directly brought home to him by circumstantial evidence, but up to the time of his death on the gallows he stoutly pro- tested his innocence"
 It seems now that the ghosts of the murdered victims, unable to rest in their ill-timed graves, have been coming back nightly to the scene of their taking away.
 Captain O'Leary says that for a week past his men have every morn- ing told tales of strange sounds coming from the bank of the creek near the camp. He did not place much confl- dence in their statements, but night before last he concluded to stay awake and investigate the matter himself The night was still and dark and the only sound to be heard was the roar ing of the brook over its rocky bed. He had began to think there was really nothing in the matter, and at eleven o'clock was about to lay down to sleep, when terrible scream of a woman's voice, coming from the direction of the creek, awakened the solitude and echoed back from the bluffs. It was repeated several times, but became suddenly hushed and a child's voice was heard pleading piteously, "Don't kill mamma don't kill mamma" l" and the little voice grew fainter and fainter and died away in a gurgling sound that seemed to mingle with the waters of the stream. Then all was quiet. The captain, with such of his men as were not paralyzed with fear, at once went forth to investigate. Nothing was found.
 The spot is quite & distance from any one's house, and the probabilities are that no one has been there before at that time of night during the fifteen years that have elapsed since the murder.

The Youngsters Servant.

The spectacle of a trim, shapely, well
bred looking young woman walking
down Fifth avenue behind an over
dressed child of perhaps twelve years of
age and carrying the youngsters school
books, has been observed by social stu
dents on several occasions lately. 1t
seems to be tho proper thing with chill
dren of the smart set, but it is not an
altogether cheerful and encouraging
sign of the times. These young women
are not governesses, unless they come
under the English designation of nursery
governesses, for the children go to school
and presumably are taught something
when they get there; nor are the young
women maid servants, and they are very
rarely, it would appear, of foreign ex-
traction. In a country like England,
where poor girls of good family consent
to accept positions which, if not mental,
are given mental suggestiveness. there is
the Unborn British respect for rank and
money to condone what seems to be rath-
er unworthy service. But in this glori-
GUS republic of independence and equal
ity the sight is not pleasant one. Times
must be hard when American girls sell
their birthright and self respect for a
mess of pottage.-New York Star.

THO rn,sment Of the rnturn.

The best of all payements, as has been
shown by experience in our own and
foreign cities, is made Of asphalt. When
asphalt pavements first came into use In
this country they were largely made
with coal tar, and proved defective In
many ways; afterward the methods and
materials used in the Old World were
imported and gave excellent results.
The result Of the experience Of
the last ten years has clearly shown that
the pavement made with the Trinidad
asphalt is equal TO any in the world and
superior to any other kind of pavement in
use. Its excellencies. cleanliness, silence
and salubrity are SO apparent that no ar
gument is now needed to enforce them,
and TO these may DO added, and placed
first on the list, economy; for it costs M
little and lasts ms long MS any other good
pavement, and is much less trying TO
horses, vehicles and human nerves. IL
is rapidly growing in favor, and II Is not
too much to say that it is the pavement
Of the future, and Is destined In most
localities to supersede all other kinda

Washington is city that is governed
by the people of all the states of the re-
public. In electing their representatives
in congress the people of the states elect
Washington's board Of aldermen, and in
choosing their president they choose
Washington's mayor. For this privilege
of controlling the Federal City the coun-
try has to pay one-hak the expenses of
the municipality. In fact, very little
money but Uncle Sans money is ever
seen here, and very rarely docs any one
