Gladstone Love For Reading

Mr.. Gladstone Is, in every respect, a
great reader. He spends more time now
in reading books than he did twenty five
years ago. Anything and everything
that comes to him is grst to his mill. He
doesn't mind wadiug through chapter aft
er chapter II he only finds kernel of
truth or a nugget of pure gold at the end.
He is particularly fond of books of ira
vel and politics. and there is no country
that interests him so much as America,
its people and its politicians. great
deal OF his reading is done as mater of
duty, or, work, If you please, and after
he has finished that and is so throughlv
tired out that most men would take to the
woods or to sick room, the great states
man turns to his Latin or Greek for rest
and repose. If there is one subject dear
to his heart after politics and statecraft
it is religion. He has no favorite auth
ors he finds good in all schools, and he
says indeed il must be a very poor writer
who can't find something to say that will
interest even the busiest of men, and the
most learned. He has the faculty of
skimmiug through book and get ing
the salient points in few hours.
To Americans it will be of interest to
know that Mr.. Gladstone receives large
number of American newspapers aud
magazines, and that he is very well in
formed on all current American topics
He keeps several secretaries busy, ami
when he finds striking point in n -hank
aF II" Spuper, he turns down the page
or marks it to be clipped by his daughter,
Miss ellen Gladstone. or his wife, or one
cf his secretaries, aud, strange to say, he
can turn to 1t years afterwards at a mo-
ments notice. He has wonderful mem
ory, too, and knows a great deal more Of
American men of letters than most peo-
pie would suppose. He is an intense
admirer of James Russell Lowell and
Bret IIarte.
He has magnificent library of exceed
ing value, and is constantly adding to it.
He is one og the few great men of this
world who is not ashamed to be seen
alone in in the street, and he often spends
an hour o: so In some old book sellers
shop on the strand or in Cornhill. He is
the owner of many rare and valuable
works, and whenever there is an mpor-
tani book sale. either his son Herbert, or
one of the secretaries, is present to bid in
any valuable or rare volume that may he
offered. lie has spent II fortune on his

Tho Age of M an.

Few men die of age. Almost all per
sons die of disappointment, nsssional,
mental, or bodily toll, or accident. The
passions kill men sometimes even sud

it, for even though not suddenly fatal,
strong passions shortened life. Strong
bodied men often die youna-weHk men
live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength, ard the weak
have none to use. The latter take care
of themselves, the former do not. As it
is with the body. SO il is with the mind
aud temper. The strong are apt to break
or like the candle, run; the weak burn
