a paper has hccn read before the Library
association on the misleading titles Of
modern books The subject is one in which
the book buying public is necessarily in
terestcd. There are many, even in these
shrewd and careful times, who purchase
volumes on the strength OF advertisements,
or after casual glance at the names of a
book and its author. The wiser mind
waits TO know something about the wares
C. fered TO il, but To many the mere title of
u book is alluring, suggesting all sorts OF
possibilities which may or may not be full
filled. Mankind does not learn by expert
ence, either personally or by deputy.
With the old standing example before
them OF the ingenious cuuutryman who
bought Ruskin's work con the Construc-
tiun OF Sheepfolds" under the impression
that it was an agricultural treatise, men
and women still rush upon their fate in
the matter Of book titles And they are
meanwhile fooled to the top OF their bent.
The title we have just quoted is. as every
body knows, 10y no means Ruskin's only
achievement in the direction Of misleAd-
ing-Or at least mystifying-the public.
Sesame aud Lilies, The Crown OF Wild
olive" The Queen OF the Air." "Fors
Clavigera''--these, and others In their
time, have created quite as much confI-
sion IA che minds of the simple and con

ample, the book producers ~ on mystify-
lng and misleading, outdoing each other

that If you have never prayed before, oil

In the good old times" mon lived un-
der the horrid shadows of frightful super
stitions Now it is TO modern science only
that we owe our emancipation from the
yoke of this awful tyranny. Scientific ex-
plorers have been over the earth and, find
ing no mouth Of hell, that is gone. Science
has explained earthquakes and volcanoes,
and now devils fight no longer in the bow
els OF the earth. Htna and Vesuvius are
no longer veuthoes of the pit. Astronomy
has shattered the follies Of astrOlogy, and
people have found out that the stars are
minding their own business instead Of
meddling with theirs, and eclipSes, no
longer moon swallowing monsters, are
only very natural and well behaved shad-
owS.
Since psychology is studied we know
that wtchcraft is folly, and insanity is
only "A disease to be treated and cured
Thus science, like mother goag up stairs
to bed with her frightened boy, has been
with her candle into all the old dark cor
ners that used to make US creep and cringe
and shiver with terror Croakers always
have had special faculty for seeing
"breakers ahead" and smooth water be
hind But the sober facts Of history justify
the statement that never was the ship OF
human hope IN stancher trim, and never
was a fairer, broader sea ahead.
What then? Why, this; In spite of pres
ent ills and difficulties and corruptions
and discouragemcnts, learn to see things
as they are. How many a curse has this
servile, unreasoninR worship Of the past
fastened upon us As If an evil that has
stood thousand years was not as abomi-
nable MS one sprung up today! We ought
indeed in church, society and state TO rev.
erence the past Us father of the present.

Wearing gown whose folds cannot conceal
Tho massive strength and grace of every limb:
And. looking in the clear cut face, you feel
1Ae power of mind. The lips are set by fate,
Deep eyes are steely gray, and wild and free.
Ioa think of him, swathed in the battles mist,
Setting the stars of brute-won victory.
In sacred Offices no sign he makes
That in his veins the fires of passion glow;
That love or hate or leadership of men
Have any place beneath his stole of snow.
Down quiet aises of the cathedral vast,
Neiied in the light of sacred censers dim
M slowly leads the clear voiced choristers,
Chanting. in ringing tones. the evening
hymn.

Lifts up, as If some long lost day to greet.
Teach him to sing with voice so true and
sweet?
'WAo knows the heart OF man The passing
day g.lr.r,.- .-.-tt.
RaAshes glesrn of glory ere it dies:
Above the singer is q golden ray

Tho pageant fades, another voice is there,
calling for peace and grace on all the world;
IN echoes sweet you miss the earnest prayer.

The song still fingers with you, soft al.d low.
-staning the strife that mars the tattered heart.
With ahsolutiop from its deepest woe.

Care OF the Hair.

The hair, like every other portion OF
the human frame, if uncared for will GO
to waste and eventually drop out. This
is due to splitting of the ends of the
hair. so that the interior oil duct which
nourishes the hair is exposed, and the
natural nourishment of the hair runs to
waste, overfows upon the head, forming
dandruff, which impedes the growth of
the hair just as much as the tares among
wheat. The best means to prevent this
is Strengthening Of the hair, and this
can easily be accomplished by frequent
cutting and the use of salt water and
vaseline. ,os<'
Have you ever noticed what bushy
hair seafaring men have? Did you ever
see bald sailor? It is because their
hair is in constant contact with the in
vigorating salt air, and is often wet with
salt water. A good tonic of salt water
should contain, a teaspoonfuI of salt to a
tumbler of water, and should be ap-
piled to the hair two or three times a
week, The effect at the;end of q month
,wlp be surprising. American Spectator

One Of the most precious relics of. the
past is 2 bronze statuette dug up at Her
culaneum in 1861, and thought to be a
copy Of the equestrian statue known to
have been einadesof Alexander the Great
by Eysippus, after the battle Of the Gra-
nicus. when statues Of all the brave who
fell in this initial victory were made by
the famous sculptor IF It is truly a
copy Of hyappus' work we can judge
from it how the; Macedonians managed
their horses in u haild-to- hand conflict.
The king is shown sitting on blanket
firmly held IN place by . breast strap
and girth. Without dropping the ireins
from his bride hand he grasps this SUBJ
stftute for d saddle at the withers, and
turning full half way to the right and
looking backward, gives swinging cut
with his sword to the rear, covering as
big an arc of the circle as the best
swotdsman who ever sat in saddle.
1.-The statue is fuil Of life and natural!
TO . degree If not Lysippus' work, it
Is that Of a consummate artist. The DO:
sitiop shows great freedom of movement:

ticslo That the Macedonians kept their,
heels well away from the horses fianks
or rather that they did not rely on their
heels to cling to him, is shown by their
commonly wearing spurs. a thing the.
Indian usually avoids, and the same
habit shows clearly in this piece of art

How Rocker separatins was Carried or

How Rocker separatins was Carried on
in Pionees Daysin CaIifornIA.
The most expensive instrument of the
early miner was the rocker. which.
though simple in construction, cost in
the mines from fifty to hundred dol
lars. In general appearance it was not
unlike baby's cradle as used by our
granimothers and as still seen on the
frontier 1t consisted of flat bottom
with two sides that f1ared outward, and
an end board at the head, while the foot
was open save rifle about an inch and
half high at-the bottom to catch the
gold that might pass another rifle across
the bottom near the middle. At the
head of the cradle was a hopper about
eighteen inches square, with perforated
sheet iron bottom or wire screen. Un-
der this was an apron, or board, sloping
downward toward the head Two sub
stantial rockers under the whole com
pleted the simple machine which gave to
the world millions of dollars
The Ihodus operandi may be described
IS follows: Two sticks of wood hewn on
the upper side were imbedded at the
rivers brink. one four inches lower than
the other, on which the rockers were to
rest. thus. securing 4 grade in the ma
chine to facilitate the outward flow of
the water and sand. Two miners usual
ly worked together as psrtners.g One
shoveled the earth into the rocker. while
the other, seated on a bowlder or block
of wood, dipped the water from the riv-
ert and poured It upon the earth in the
hopper With one hand, all the time rock
ing with the other When the earth
was thoroughly washed, he rose, lifted
the hopper from its place, threw out the
stones and gravel, replaced; it, and thus
the work went OF As the ground about
the rocker became exhausted to the bed
rock, recourse was had to the bucket
and the earth was carried sometimes a
few rods. making laborious work for the
miner. F
To keep the rocker going another hand
would be employed to carry earth, and
each would carry two buckets at time
Hard work of this kind suggested i'm
provements in mining. At noon the gold
and black sand collected above the rifles
were taken up on scraper and thrown
into the pans which was carried to the
river and carefully washed to remove as
far as possible all but. the gold The
yield Of the forenoon was carried TO the
camp. dried over. a blazes the dry sand
blown out, and the gold weighed in scales
