A Dog Goes to the AImshouse.

Wide Awake is responsible for the
following: A family in Salem, Mass,
owned dog that had become quite old
and troublesome. He was cross. and
would take the best place in the room
andno one could make him leave it will
ingly. At last grandma, much troubled,
said: ''Sir, this dog is so troublesome
we must send him away" The dog got
up and looked at her in sorrow and
went out of the room. In a few days
they heard that this dog, whom every
body knew, had gone to the poor-house,
where the towns poor people were
taken care of, and stranger still, on Sat
urdays, when many Of the inmates
went to see friends, this dog also went
home to see sssir'' and ''ma'am," stayed
awhile and then went back again and
lived there ever after.

BUILDING a LIBRARY.
No Royal Road to One Which Will BE Of
Real Service.

No Royal Road to One which Will Be Of
Real Service.
As there is no royal road to learning,
SO there is no royal road to that outward
and visible sign of 1t which consists in
shelves well filed with books, says a
writer in Kate Fields Washing ton.
The man who wants a library can not
get it ready made. He may, it is true,
buy collection of books fairly well
fitted to the average mind, but it will
be about as satisfactory as the ready
made coat fitted to the average body.
It will fail to meet his Individual eccen-
trieities.
Nor can the ideal library be gathered
in hurry. Nothing is more helpful to
the tone and quality OF q library than
such moderate degree OF poverty as
will limit purchases at first to the abso-
lutely essential. In the buying Of books,
as in the buying of pictures, real dis
elimination comes only through actual
experience, and it is very unfortunate
to have too many bought at a low grade
of development; but, on the other hand,
no man should wait to begin his library
until his taste is fully formed, or it will
lack many books which he would gladly
have there, but which would not run
the gauntlet of his mature Judgment.
A very common error in buying books
is to start with cheap editions under the
erroneous impression that later on they
may be replaced by good ones, Unfort~
unately, the mind Of the book lover
will not assent to this plan, however
strong his will. The book he takes UP
to read is invariably the old and Shabby
one, and the other becomes only d.
splendid bit Of decoration, to please the
eye of the visitor. Your pet literature
always tastes best from the page on
which you originally read it; SO, when
you buy a book Of which you are likely
to become fond, it should be in a good
enough form to keep. At least, paper
and print should be SO respectable that
a new binding will be all the change
necessary. With the habitual student
the sense of location is very highly de-
veloped. In his own library he finds
things by their position On the page,
and can turn at once to any given pas
sage in a familiar author. But put him
in a. room full Of strange editions, and
this laboriously acquired sixth sense
becomes utterly useless. .......
The taste for fine bindings is a liking
apart from the love of books for what
they contain, but it is by no means an
ignoble tendency, and adds vastly to the
aesthetic effect of a well-chosen library.
The housing and care of books, too, is
a subject not beneath the notice of
even the prOfoi1nCest student.

was in the Office of a Chicago real
estate and loan agent the other day,
says writer in the New York Sun, and
had scarcely got seated when woman
was admitted, and asked him for a. sub
scription to some charity.
''With the greatest of pleasure,
ma ann he replied, and producing a
check book he filed out check for $40.
She thanked him very sweetly as she
withdrew, and it was only five minutes
after when a man entered and asked
for a contribution to some poor chill"
dren's fund.
"Certainly-only too glad, replied the
agent, and he wrote out another check
for $40.
After we had been interrupted four
times, and he had cheerfully written
four checks 1 said to him:
''You certainly deserve the title of a
philanthropist.

lions and take every thing for granted.

Here lady entered and asked for a
contribution to assist in giving a free
excursion to a sunday-school, and he
wrote out check for $15 and waved her
out, and continued:
s'Let me explain, All those checks
are worthless, as they are drawn on a
bank where have no funds. do it TO
save time. All these callers come pre-
pared to argue and explain and con-
tend, and each one of them would sit
for half an hour. BY giving thesa
checks l secure a great reputation
around the block as a philanthropist
and well-heeled man, and it costs me
nothing When
Here he paused to fill out a check for
$40 for the establishment of q sailors

ssWhen the checks are presented they
are found to be worthless, and those
holding them either get mad Or see the

service than If you were handing out
