Does It Pay to Take Up q Special Line ot
 Professional Work.
 We often hear 1t said of a dabbler in music, or in art, or in science: ''Oh, she only knows enough of that thing to talk about it!' and the words imply a sheer. From one point of view it is a trivial attainment, and perhaps the sheer is deserved if the knowledge has been ac- quired simply to furnish subject of conversation, although to be conversant with even the jargon of a study is bet ter than to remain totally ignorant con- cerning it. Besides, she who knows the terminology of music or art sufficiently to talk about either intelligently can hardly fail to pick up scraps of informa- tion occasionally. The very fact that 0 woman has cared enough for topic to induce her to trouble herself to learn its phrases, argues the possibility of her ap- preciating further knowledge, says liar per's Bazar.
 After all, the matter resolves itself into the question: For what purpose is study, general or particular, pursued? Is it not to widen the views, to strength en the mind, to deepen the sympathies? Cannot these objects be as we'll achieved by general as by particular reading or study? Since one cannot go to the bot tom of everything, can she not be we'll enough educated to gain enjoyment for herself and others by taking such se- lected knowledge as comes in her way? It is not necessary to be an Italian scholar to be able to read and appreciate the 'Inferno," nor need one know Greek before she can become fa- miliar with the ''Iliad." Translations, collations and anthologies are meant &Or the help of those whose other duties preclude their going to the fountain head for their instruction and their en- joyment.
 As the travel of current thought is to- ward specialties, let the young student just cquipping for her life's work fit herself for labor after the fashion of the day. But the general reader whose opportunities for work have been Iim- tied need not despise her scattered knowledge. She possesses the advan- tage usually of having her capital avail
 
 in her writing and in her conversation after fashion that is both helpful and to those with whom she is thrown. It may be debated. indeed, whether the general reader, the general student, does not do more to benefit and delight her kind at large than does the specialist who linn Its herself to one or two branches of study, who never reads Q book that does not touch upon her speciality, who can discuss nothing but her hobby, and who too often makes bore of herself to all but few sylnpathizers. The one-ideaed woman has her uses, and they are inn t,ortant, but may not as much be claimed tor her who is forced by events and en- werpment to De Q sEattercF?

FETTEREO VOLUMES,
Libraries Wherein the Books Are Secured
 by Chains.

LlDrarleS Whereln the BOOKS Are secured
 by Chains.
 In Europe, long before the days of printing, books were fastened to shelves or desks in libraries and churches, to guard against their being stolen, and also to prevent one student gaining an unfair advantage over another by secur- ing the loan of book from too ami- able librarian. Sa -7sa.,s.e7
 The libraries of the English univer- sites were chained until the latter part of the eighteenth century, when, on ac- count of the inconvenience of using them, the chains were removed. It is recorded that at Kings college a man was paid one pound and seven shillings, in 1777, for nine days labor in taking the letters off the college books. Ac- cording to the Antiquarian, there are, however, few chained libraries still remaining in England. The largest of these is at the cathedral church of Hereford, and is the one genuine sur vival of an old monastic library. It consists of about two thousand volumes, of which fifteen hundred are chained. There arc five bookcases, and the re. mains of two others. tsa@
 The catalogue, which is also chained, classiies the books, many of which are in manuscript, in eight divisions. Each chain is from three to four feet long, according to it's position, so that every volume can be placed on the reading desk. In the center of these chains are swivels, which are useful in preventing their entanglement.
 Hereford possesses the latest, as well as the oldest collection of chained books in the kingdom, the library of two hun dred and eighty-fve volumes, which was bequeathed to All Saints church.

Inhabitants of Drop of Water Describe

Inhabitants of a Drop of Water Described
 by Red-Nosed Man.
 'You asked me the other day why I entertained such prejudice against water" said gentleman with today blossom on the end of his nose to a Washington Star reporter. "If you will kindly gaze through this microscope I shall be able to explain without having recourse to wordy argument. will take drop of water from the tap here at the washstand. There! You observe l let it fall upon this little piece of glass. It is ready now for examination under the instrument, which I adjust to high power. Let us see if, in swal- lowing this pure Potomac fluid which the people of Washington are obliged to consume, they do not imbibe very many extraordinary and uninviting creatures. Let us turn the reflector little Now there is cheerful specimen right in the field of vision. Apply your eye to the microscope and drink him in, in imag- ination. Isn't he lovely?
 ''That, my dear sir, is beast known scientifically as the 'bosmina longiros- tris.' The latter part of it's name sig nifes long-beaked. Observe the coquet- tish pose of its hind leg. You drink lots of those fellows every day at meals.
 ''Let me move the glass trife, so as to bring into view another part of the drop. There arc two rather unpleasant looking fellows for you.
 That wormlike one, which you see squirming around in transparent sac as if anxious to get out, is called an 'auguilua.' 'Cyclops' is the name of the other, which resembles young six legged baby somewhat, think. It is young, too, being newly matched; but it will grow much bigger, which is a com fort. You yourself consume ever so many such. moved the glass trife the other way, I have brought into view still another part of the drop, in which you may see cavorting the 'cyclops quadricornui,' so- called because it is one-eyed monster. with four horns and ten legs. Take look at him.
 q won't bore you with any more just now, but could show you more than two hundred species of microscopic creatures in the water, each of them with a scientific name of it's own. I might mention, for example, the vorti celia of formidable jaws; the clostori- um, precisely the shape of a pair of cows horns; several species of hydra, with waving tentacles; and the 'ampho- "a gigas' in the shape of an ornamental letter o. There are no end of things which these creatures initiate in form. One looks like a fish, but is not An other resembles a broom, still another a coal scoop, and so on ad infnitum.
 ''Now, it is all very we'll for persons who arc not acquainted with these things to drink water, but micro scopist like myself ought to know bet ter. And when you consider the disease germs, like those of typhoid which are so apt to haunt this fluid, you cannot but realize the desirability of avoiding it as I do.'
