A KNOT OF HAIR.

She has a not ofrusset hair;
l, seems simple thing to wear
Through years. despite OF fashions check
The same deep coil about the neck,
But there it twined
When first knew.
And learned with passion to pursue her,
And she changed it, to my mind
She were a creature OF new kind
On others she may fash the wise
Strong light OF experimenting eyes,
And make who fronts her beauty great
With hopes that awe and stimulate,
The happy lot
Be mine to follow
These threads through lovely curve an
hollow,
And muse lifetime how they got
Into that wild, mysterious knot
O. first of woman who hast laid
Magnetic glory on n braid
In others tresses We may mark
1t they be silken blonde or dark;
But thine we praise.
And dare not eel them;
Not Hermcs, god OF THEFT, dare stca! them
1t is enough for aye to gaze
Upon their yiyitying mae.

What win Become Of our eooks7

What VIII Become Of our Books7
Experts are predicting that tho
books of to-day will fall to pieces be-
fore the end ofhalf a century,. The
paper in the books that have sur.
vived 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-galls.
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 a compound OF
various substances naturally at war
with the fimsy paper upon which it is
laid.
The printing OF two centuries ago
has improved with age; that of to-day,
it is feared, will, within fifty years,
have eaten it's way through the pages
upon which it is impressed.
