Experts are predicting that the books of
to-day will fall to pieces before the middle
of the next century. The paper in the
books that have survived two or three
centuries was made by hand of honest rags
and without the use of strong chemicals,
while the ink was made of nut gals. To-
day much of the paper for books is made,
at least in part, of wood pulp treated with
powerful acids, while the ink is compound
of various substances naturally at war with
the fimsy paper upon which it is laid.
The printing of two centuries ago has i'm
proved with age; that of to-day, it is fear
ed, will within fifty years have eaten its
way through the pages upon which it is
impressed. A heartless publisher who
threw out this hint added the sardonic
comment that the question was highly I'M
important to the great majority of authors.

The late James Russell Lowell once
suffered a severe rebuke at the hands of
fellow Bostonian on board steamer
bound for Europe Mr. Lowell was
holding forth in the smoking room upon
the lamentable ignorance of educated
Americans touching the politics of their
own country, and he finally declared his
belief that no BostOnian present could
name four United States Senators from
other States than Massachusetts. Under
cross-examination he owned that he would
find this difficult feat himself, though
he knew by name and reputation, as well
as in person, most of the active men in the
British House Of Lords. Upon receiving
this admission the cross-examiner said with
some warmth: 81 am sure, Mr.. Lowell,
that could name every conspicuous
Senator with his State, and | should be
greatly ashamed of myself if | could not.
Furthermore, while | do not venture to
