1t is evident to those who have thus
far followed me that /, at least, would
answer the latter interrogatory in the

to doubt the evidence Of my own

How to Read.
1Epworth Herald.1

Much is said about orhQt to read.
Every newspaper and magazine has
its review Of curreI. literature, and
volunteers to tell what is wheat and
what is chaff They commend and
condemn without stint. Let a book
come out from reputable publishing
house tainted with heresy Of any sort,
and Immediately pencils are sharpened
to give due warning. But not much is
said about hoW to read. This is almost
as important. Beyond doubt the I'M
proper reading of even the best Of books
is IN injury to the reader. 1t creates
slovenly mental habits. 1t cultivates
inattention. It wastes time. How
shall we read?
First of all, read tor purpose. Take
aim. Go after a definite something.
The fact, the argument, the lesson
seek these diligently. Aimless reading
is dissipation.
Then read Moughtuly Fact and
argument and moral will not adhere to
the mind unless meditated upon. 1t
is of small value to go over the pages if
the truths printed upon them pass the
brain like water through sieve. Better
read only 9 sentence and grapple with
the thought. Question every statement.
Ask yourself what truth:it contains,
and then if it is reasonable and correct.
Master your book. Whatsoever is in
forming, inspiring, enriching uplifting
think on these things.
Then again, do not read too much.
Many make fatal error here. At the
half-dozen summer resorts we have
found young people pouring for hours
over books, utterly absorbed in the fas-
cinating stories, and unconscious Of the
passage Of time. These were wasted
hours. Stuffing hinders digestion.
Only the food we assimilate does US
good. Go slower. Frederick Robert
son once said the number of books he
had read could be counted on the tips
of ones fingers, but that they had been
great books, and their contents made
his own. 1t is an excellent practice to
close the book at the end of each page
and carefully think over what the
author has said. We also recommend
the memorizing of striking statements,
important facts. telling arguments, and
brilliant puttings of truth.

Concatenated Compounds OF Assenine
Meanness.
+ AbbavilIe Medium.

That vile leech: the tattler, is on his
round sapping the life blood of all
human happiness-couIdn't exist with
out it. They sit and listen glee!uily to
anything harsh You may say Of your
neighbor either pettishly or in & joke
and then carry it magnitied and
patched up to suit him or herself and
pours it scorching hot into the ears Of
your best friend and endeavOrs to get
him to say something equally as harsh.
Then little by little this Internal ghoul
of human society filchcs the happiness
of human friendship and develops be-
tween the kindest of neighbOrs and the
best of friends feeling of hatred which
should be known only to demons. Let
all decent people shun these busy
bodies going about sowing the seeds OF
discord and tradEcing his fellow man.
Concatenated compounds Of asseniue
mcanness. They should be ignored.

Kindness to Fellow Passenger.
from the Detroit Free Press I

From the Detroit Free Press.
I was in the smoking car of q train
on the Louisville and Nashville road
running from Decatur to Montgomery,
Ala. Just as the train started a man
came bouncing in breathing hard and
evidently pretty we'll tired out. After
sitting down for couple of minutes he
rose and came over to me. We were
alone in the car.
"Stranger," he said, as he sat down
in half of the seat, II am dead broke
and want you to pay my fare to Gun
tersville."
every well; here's the change, and
you can hand it to the conductor"
Thanks. I see you have an over
coat lying on the seat. Would you
have any objection to my slipping it on
for five minutes?"
"None at all"
"You are very, very kind. Suppose
we exchange hats for minute?"
,"Certainly."
'Now lend me your glasses and that
book"
''Here they are"
He had just got settled down when
the conductor came in. The stranger
said "Guntersville" and handed out
the fare, and the official received it and
passed out. The man hadn't another
word to say until the whistle blew for
his station. Then he got out of the
overcoat, handed over the other eff
fects, and shook hands and said:
II can't tell how much 7 thank you.
They weren't two minutes behind
me-"
''Iou were fleeing, eh?"
"I'd ran two miles.
"And the-the cause??"

In THE RAPIDS.
John L. SOuleS attempts TO Swim Through
Niagara'S Whirlpool.

NIAGARA FALLS, July 4-JOhn L. Soules
of Muskegon, Mich, to-day attempted to
swim the whirlpool Of the rapids. Samuel
Smith of Lewiston, N. Y.,.was to have gone
through with him in row-bOat but funked.
Many hundreds of people were on the
bridges and bank. Soules entered the
water at 3:1S o'clock in the afternoon near
the cantilever bridge. on the Canadian side,
clad in woolen shirt and trunks and cork
vest. At 800 o'clock he came around the
abutment of the bridge and was tossed like
a cork in the volume of water which there
forces itself through the gorge. When he
escaped this current he had c0mpara-
lively easy time to the railway suspension
bridge, at which point the swift current
once more caught him and swept him under
t he bridge like a flash.
Below this bridge there are two large
rocks. A breaker carried him over one and
the spectators expected to see him dashed
against the other and killed. Luck favored
him, however, and the current swung him
partially round and he pushed away from
the rock with his hand. Then another
large breaker caused him to turn q somer-
sault, submerging him for short time and
keeping him stationary in an eddy.
The spectators thought he was gone, but
he soon swan OUT and when nearly to the
whirlpool rapids was washed into an eddy
near the shore. With the assistance of sew
eral spectators he scrambled out on the
rocks in a greatly exhausted condition. lie
had a cut on his left foot and terrible cash
in the left leg above the knee, which dis
abled him so he could not walk. These in-
juries he received when dashed against
Dig rock.
He said, however, he would continue his
trip through the whirlpool if his manager
desired, but the latter refused to let him go.
1t is fortunate for SUules that he was washed

iant banquet at Kaiserhof Among the
guests we're United States Minister
Phelps and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Damrosch. John Jay. all the lead
ing American residents and a number
of German marksmen. MIR. Phelps, speak
ing to the toast to President Harrison, said
that Americas danger arose from her i'm
mense material prosperity. President Har-
Tisun ruled the richest and strongest nation
on the globe. From his lofty station he
saw more clearly than any one else the full
sweep of this incredible prosperity. He
was neither daZZled nor shaken. He kept
his pOiSe, rugged and firm as Washington,
stunning the tempting paths of popularity,
keeping the Puritan simplicity of our
fathers days, and having no aspirations
other than his surroundings.
= Referring to the estimates that Sl50, ,000,-
000 was spent by Americans yearly travel
ing in Europe, he said that although moth
ing in the Custom-house can be shown as
return reward, yet there was certain
ward in the ampler knowledge and expert
ence gained which Americans turn to use.
Abiding to American hOme-life as the
sweetest and purest on earth, the speaker
said he thought, however, that travellers
would find that the Germans made home
life fuller, taking their families into their
3 leasures and amusementS, and many tax
ing them into their business. Chief Burgo-
master Forcken beck made a speech, during
which he bestowed encomium on Mr.. Ban
croft, the historian.
