WHAT Is A GOOD BOOK2
An Important Question anu One That
EasilY Answered.

An Important Question ana One That Is
EasiIy Answered.
But, some one will ask, what is a good
book? L will tell you.
A good book is one that interests you,
One in which the bright rather than the
dark side of life is shown.
One that makes you see how mean are
the small vices of life and how despicable
are the great sins.
One that gloriies virtue in women and
honor in men.
One in which the good are rewarded and
the wicked are made to suffer-suffering Inv
the way, that may be of the conscence-or
in more material way, a reward given
either on earth or promised for the future
One which convinces you that this world
Is filled with good men and good women.
One that breathes forth the goodness NJ n
Creator and respects his al-governing laws
One that makes you feel you are meeting
real people = people who elevate yonr
thoughts as you associate with them.
A good book is one that you remember
with pleasure, that when the dull houre
come you can think with interest and feeI
that there are people with whom you have
most interesting acquaintance, who ara
only characters of the Imagination.
A good book is one that tells, in good Fin.
glish, the story it has to- sees no necessity
of using foreign words, and does not onote
from the Arabic or the Sanscrit, as if the
author had. written it with an Encyclonedia
Britannica beside him. '"
A good book is the one that we want wben
weary OF the people OF the world; that we
can read out aloud and discuss; that we can
hand to our daughters that it may give them
pleasure, and which will only be a stennina
stone on the road of taste, not only to het
ter and nobler books, but a better and nobler
life.
That is a good book-and. nv friendo
there are hundreds of them.-Ladies' Home

SALAD-M MAKING.
An Art in Which the French Are Clearly
In the Lead.

An Art IN Which the French Are Clearly
In the Lead.
Not the least of the reasons why little
trip to Paris or Brussels makes new man
of you is that you eat plenty of salad-a
thing which the Briton upon his native
heath very rarely thinks of doing Indeed
he could not do it if he wished, since the
noble art of salad-making is about as badly
understood in England as the art of roast
ing meat is in France. 1t may be hoped.
then. that the interesting lecture delivered
yesterday at Westminster by NJ Henri de
Vilmorin, the distinguished French horti-
culturist, will have good fruit. NJ de Val
MORN described the almost endless varie-
ties of salad which are grown for the Paris
market. and he praised them none too
highly. In particular he called attention to
the dandelion, which makes a delicious
salad, despite its strange neglect by our
cooks and market-gardeners. The British
idea of salad is lettuce, endive, vinegar and
hard-boiled egg, compounded with as little
science as possible. But it is the compound
ing and the dressing which make the salad
The making of the salad in French house
hold is almost sacred office; and the host
suspends his flow of good stories to make
and carefully tend the dressing. He, too,
uses endive largely. but not in the absurd
disproportion of the English cook. And
here, too, we may say that the British pal
ate knows not what 1t loses in never testing
endive cooked as vegetable and served
like cabbage.-St. James Gazette

Charles Henderson, Chairman of the
County Committee, in eulogistic speech,
introduced General John BidwelI, the
nominee of the party for Governor, who,
after the three cheers and tiger that were
given had subsidized, said in substance:

proud to have received the nomination from

Ihere can be no publication in politics.
POLITICAL parties are armies who are
lighting for supremacy The necessity that

will not recognize this statement as a fact.
l do not want Office, but do want the prin-
'ciples of the Prohibition party to be the
principles OF the nation. 1t is the only
party that can take up and successfully
answer the question of monopoly. We

"As understand the principles of the

The lady of the house was cheerful, chatty
and good humored A late personal ex-
perience which she told was enjoyed by her
small audience. She had not been feeling
well, had been depressed and nervous, and
somebody advised her to try Christian
science. She consulted "healer," who
informed her that she was not i'll,
depressed or nervous; that such
states of feeling had no real existence :;
that she must lift herself into an exalted
atmosphere, keep herself in an elevated
condition of mind, and thus free herself
from these troubles, which were nothing
more than the evidence of sin, etc. She
was much impressed by this spiritual doc
trine, and returned to her home feeling
that she had indeed been lifted into the
regions of the beautiful and the good.
At dinner, surrounded by her husband
and children, she continued in this trans
cendental state-as evidenced by her CONVEX

of commonplace life by the remarks of va

MR.. SCOTS WAGER.
One of the foundrymen, in rather bitter
terms, accused Valentine of instigating the
strike. Valentine denied it. MIR. Scott
then asked him if he had boosted that he
would take eight or ten out of the Union
l ron Works.
Mr. Valentine replied that he would try
to take men out of the shops in any way he
could.
Mr. Scott rather heatedly offered to wager
Mr.. Valentine $1,000 that he could not take
six men out of the Union Works.
Pm do it if you will let me go in and
talk with Them" was Valentines reply.
Mr.. Scott said he would accompany him.
whereupon Valentine declined.
MI Lewis and Mr.. Valentine then had q
wordy war, in which the President of the
union held his own. No real issue in
volved in the strike was discussed at all,
the men combining themselves to words con-
corning personal differences upon petty
matters.
THE MISSION WAS FRUITLEss.
Mr. Valentines mission after the money
was in vain. as the Rlsdon people said they
would not pay the deserters' money over
until they went over their accounts.
The President then Withdrew and the
foundrymen went into the works and
watched the casting of 2S,000-pound bed
plate for an engine This casting is one of
the largest of its kind ever cast in this city.
The feat was accomplished successfully as
far as could then be judged.
Last night President Valentine announced
that he had secured three more men from
the foundrymen, but he declined to give any
particulars until TODAY.
