principal forms of literary expression. pro-
vided they were closely studied. Reading
in the ordinary sense, carried on as is GUS
tomary in our day. when books are so plen
tiful, means a mere skimming over the
pages to gather the story that is told or the
principal thoughts that may be expressed in
the essay or review. 1t ends where study
should begin. The poor boy with only half
a dozen cherished volumes. who, with that
small library. educated himself" was in
fact forced to adopt the methods of reading
and study which are approved by those
who have given most thought to the sub
ject. The real student first reads his chosen
book mainly to get its story or thought. and
then. having the general subject before
him. re-reads it for purposes of study and
research. and he may re-read it a dozen
times before be has so fully mastered its
contents that he may be said to have alb
sorbed it. It may be objected that such
system of serious study would not permit
the reader to get through tenth part of the
literature well-read man is supposed to
have perused. That is true to some extent.
but it is better to have read few good
books and mastered them than to have
skinned through many scores of volumes
and gathered from them only a hazy men,
Ory of the index lines. Moreover, little
practice in real study makes one proficient
in intelligent reading, so that it is not nec-
essary to spend as much time over the tenth
volume of a course as over the first to
gather all from it that one needs. The
multiplication of books and other reading
matter is real evil to those who cannot
command their mental appetites. 1t tempts
them to discursive and careless reading that
at best can do little more for them than
furnish them with amusement for tho hour.
On the other hand; the multiplication of
books brought within the reach of all is a
great blessing to those who are disposed to
make serious study of them and who can
resist the temptation to sacrifice through
ness of study to the qualification of their
curiosity. Where scores had an opportunity
to educate themselves by reading century
or more ago. thousands now have this op-
portunity. and. Notwithstanding the added
temptations to which the latter are sub
jected. more succeed in reading inteIli-
gently, so as to promote their mental
growth. than in the day when books were
scarce.-BaltimOre Sun.

What 1t Costs to Murder in Thfbet.

1 had arrived at Kane in an evil hour, in
the midst of the festivities of the 18th Of
the fourth moon. when the people from far
and near congregate there, and the chiefs
review their men, and when drinking and
fighting are the order of the day, says
Lieut.. Rockhill in the Century. In Thibet
nearly every crime is punished by the i'm
position of fine, and murder is by no
means an expensive luxury. The fine va
ries according to the social standing of the
victim-12O bricks of tea (wOrth rupee a

forty bricks for woman, and SO on down
to two or three for a pauper or wandering
foreigner, as Lieut. Lu Ming yang kindly
informed me. He said that there was
hardly grownup man in the country who
had not murder or two to his credit; and
later on MOnsignOr Biet, the bishop OF
Thibet. corroborated this statement.

Purposes and Methods OF Reading.
So many men have become eminent not
withstanding the apparent intellectual pow
erty of their surroundings that it is inter-
esting to inquire whether scarcity of books
is such an evil as it appears to be to those
who are accustomed to have large libraries
at their command. A very little reflection
serves to show that it is not the amount
that man reads so much as the depth of
his reading that counts toward his intellect
ual development. 1t follows that one who
is really studious may gather from a few
good books more than another from a
whole library. The old analogy between
the mind and the stomach is always sug-
gested when this subject is considered.
Mental dyspepsia results from too much
reading without assimilation. One who has
his appetite we'll under control may sit at a
table loaded with the richest viands, yet be
temperate, eating only that which he can
thoroughly digest. But he is under serious
temptation to do otherwise. indulging his
appetite at the expense of his health. So
also the student may be surrounded by all
the wealth of literature that modern libra
ries afford and yet withstand the temptation
to read everything that comes in his way,
cOnfning himself to such books as will i'm
prove his mind. and giving to these close
study. But he is tempted at all times to
over indulgence in reading. which is just as
surely injurious to the mind as over indul-
gence in eating is injurious to the stomach.
The parallelism goes further. The poor
boy brought up with coarse food, and no
more than enough. sufficiently clad yet ex-
posed to the weather. becomes a strong,
hardy man. The boy with literary tastes
restricted to a few good books. reading
them at some sacrifice and obliged to study
them closely because he has nothing else to
turn to becomes strong mentally. He has
not merely read the books, he has assimi-
lated the thoughts he has found in them;
they have become part of his mentality.
1t is for this reason that men who have ap-
parently had few opportunities for mental
culture surprise the world by their intellect
ual power if not by their learning. These
lessons to those who have many books and
many sources of study is not hard to find.
Literary studies should be carried on de-
liberately, not with the purpose of covering
a great deal of ground. but with the pur-
pose of making sure that everything posi-
BILE is known of what he has gone over. A
liberal education in letters might be OBJ
tanned from study of the Bible alone A
very few books by great masters would suf-
fee to make one familiar with all of the

THE HONEST MAN Is KING

Show me the man that's always true.
Regardless of renown,
Who scorns a cheat. no matter If
The world be up or down;
Who, than to eat dishonest bread,
Would rather starve, or swing.
Can look you frankly in the eye
I'll show to you king!
care not if his cot be coarse.
His hand be brown and rough.
Nor that he own foot of land
He's honest. that's enough.
And would greet him with zest,
His praises l would sing.
I'd proudly grasp his hand an say
Long live, long live the king!
His life is not an outward show
OF empty forms and creeds;
True to himself. and with his God,
1t blossoms into deeds;
And nobly beats his royal heart.
For it is large as two;
The maid who wins 1t may be sure
Twill never be untrue.
His country's honor is his own,
He scorns to steal her gold
Brave for the right, his honest vote
Is never bought nor sold;
His country's trust is safe with him.
Dear as his mether's name,
And sacred as his mothers grave
He guards her hallowed fame.
Lo head and shoulders stands he o'er
The servile slaves Of earth,
And every inch q king is he
By right of royal birth.
Bring forth the robe of honor, then,
And bring the golden ring.
Give him the scepter. he who stands
Too oft an uncrowned king.
Then give to him the higest place
In heart. and home, and state,
And let the scheming minions see
How hOnors crown the great.
Whatever be his trade or place,
Loud let his praises ring.
Till sneaking cravens feel how low
Their place beneath king.

Downey fell at the first shot, but Thomas
continued to fire into his victims PROSTATE
body until his revolver was empty. The
murderer then fled to the woods. pursued by
over 200 men. He took refuge under bed

armed was able to stand off the crowd for
two hours, but finally surrendered.
Last night Sheriff Ferd, fearing that
Thomas would be lynched, took his prisoner

camps have gone in pursuit. They say they
