A Thing of the Past.

Mrs. Frank Leslie wrote something
the other day in which she advised a
man who couldn't afford to wear a
clean collar every day to wear cellu
loid. She could have written nothing
more absurd Celluloid collars and
cuffs have practically been off the
market for years, and st. Louis ad
mirer of Mrs. Leslie who wanted to
take her advice would have a long
tramp round among the stores before
he got what he wanted A man wear
ing celluloid collars and cuffs on the
street would be marked economist
The stuff became unpopular for very
good reason. 1t was uncleanly, didn't
look we'll after day or two's wear,
and man who kept himself neat with
celluloid found that it cost him just
as much as linen and a laundry. The
best linen collars and cuffs are very
cheap now, much cheaper than they
were when celluloid was first used
and a man couldn't save a cent by
wearing celluloid now.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.

How Papers Are Read.

1T is peculiar how personal charac-
:eristics manifest themselves" said an
elderly gentleman in the elevated cars
to his equally elderly companion,
land perhaps not the least noticeable
is the way different people read news
papers, especially in public convey
ances. Everybody has his own pet
way. Take the way they hold them.
Did it ever strike you in how many
different ways this can be and is done9"
This popularity had never struck
his friend, SO the elderly gentleman,
who wore shining silk hat, pair of
gold trimmed spectacles and a white
lawn tie, continued his aphorisms.
Just look across at those men on the
other side. No two are reading their
papers in the same way" The caves
dropper at his side also looked across,
and the observation was true. One
man had doubled his sheet, another
had made it into a quarto, still an
other had folded it into three straight
sections the full length of the column.
II have found" continued the ora
Gle, "that large proportion of the
men read the papers folded in half, the
quarter section men come next, and
the full length sectionists next. 1t is
rarely you see two men sitting side by
side reading paper the same way"
There was momentary pause filled
by the rustic of some asserting news
paper, and the oracle again remarked:
1.-The way of. holding a paper shows
the man as surely as the way he
walks. The refined, educated man
carefully crosses his paper, sees that it
is in compact shape, and then goes
Systematically through it, passing
from column to column and page to
page, with ease and facility, whereas
the shiftless, uncouth man punches
it into wads and goes through it as if
hunting for something in a rag bag"

ABOUT BOOKCASES.
How the Best Ones Are Made and How to
Arrange the Books.

How the Best Ones Are Made and How to
Arrange the Books.
The best bookcases are those made
half high, not those cumberous, glass
doored edifices which indicate that the
contents are made to look at, not to read
The wood may be either hard like
cherry, ash, mahogany or black walnut
or merely pine stained to resemble
either, according to the finish of the
room. 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 stripes OF
pinked leather, and the shelves them
selves can be made by an ordinary car
penter. Let it fill the space between
the chimney and the end of the room or
the entrance doorway and the side, warm
ish 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 good plan to have the bottom
shelf broad enough to hold aliases and
books of reference, like heavy CYCLIC
paed1aS, when laid on their sides, unless
we have for them special rests or tables.
Large, heavy leaves are inclined to break
away and drag down from the back, and
then book soon goes to ruin. That is
the reason why children should be taught
never to pick up book by one cover
only. 1t tears the cover loose from the
back. For no reason ought child to be
taken by the ear except to show it how
a book feels-or to a 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 a
couple of pictures on easels, with a CEN
trail flower vase or bronze. But to dedi-
cate 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. 1t is, though, 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 a curtain of India silk, the color
OF which shall harmonic with the pre-
vailing tint of the room. This-curtain
should be drawn only when the room is
busted. On sweeping day muslin cover,
kept for this purpose, is thrown over the
top, and reaches to the floor, for our
book lovers do not tolerate dust on their
volumes. Housekeeping.
