Next to the sneak thieves who infest
public libraries the worst nuisance libra
rian has to encounter is undoubtedly the
reader with pencil. 1t is a sight to watch
the abandon with which the individual
makes annotations or other markings upon
property which is in no sense his The
man who would step up to anothers house
and draw chalk marks on his doorstep
would be promptly held for trespass or
malicious mischief There is very little
difference in the case of the vandal who de
faces the public's books, except that a le-
nient popular sentiment permits him to
go free.
In all well regulated libraries nowadays
however, alert attendants exercise keen
supervision over the reader with pencil
The moment the pencil is lifted from its
vest pocket home the attendant edges up,
and II a marginal bieroglyphic is attempt
ed the offending reader is politely request
ed to desist. The second offense draws
down less polite rebuke, and the third
time is out-that is, the malefactor is
bounced" The habit undoubtedly arises
from sheer thoughtlessness, but it is very
annoying one, and the individual reader
who falls into it when perusing his own
books is likely to get into trouble should
he borrow from fastidiOus friends or visit
well regulated public libraries. - Troy

How Man and Nature Use Gases.

Man uses the same elementary gases
as nature does, with others that she does
not employ with the same intention.
Both use oxygen for sustaining combus-
ton, but nature uses it Systematically
for construction, which man does not.
Man uses hydrogen for combustion as
nature does, but not for construction.
Man takes advantage of nitrogen for
concentration of energy; nature takes
the same advantage, by which nitrogen,
though negative, becomes the most i'm
portant of vital structures; but she does
more, she makes nitrogen constructive
as well as Commemorative, an art man has
not attained -Longman's Magazine.

The very head and front Of all offend
ers was Shakespeare himself. He speaks
Of cannon in the reign of John, whereas
cannon were unknown until century
and half later; Of printing in the time
Of Henry ii, of clocks-and striking
clocks at that-in the time Of julius
Cesar he makes Hector quote Aristotle,
and Coriolanus refer to cats and Alex
ander; he introduces a billiard table
into Cleopatras palace; he dowers Bo-
hemia with sea coast, and makes Del
phos an island. -Belfords Monthly.

New York Is a great city. During the
run of a pantomine | sat one matinee
down in front One of the most con
spicuOus characters in the piece which
was Cinderella" was a little chap
about as large as a five-year-old baby
dressed in Hungarian uniform and act
ing as page to the prince of the fairy
tale And very clever he was too That
same evening | saw something ID the
two little boys who bring my family
laundry to remind me of the small page
and the princes fOOtnan
On inquiry | found they were the
same. The small page has been on the
stage three or four years and is in his
way, an old timer at nine years. He
named over his repertory as he played
on the floor with the baby with the air
of one who had pretty much exhausted
the theatrical gamut. These two bright
little fellows live with my laundress.
Their father is an attache Of an up town
theater and they make their own living

There is a chilling atmosphere about
aristocratic Fifth avenue on Sunday
afternoon that can be felt in no other
section of the city. You may walk from
the Brunswick to Central Park and not
see half a dozen faces behind the plate
glass An hour or two before you would
have seen the walks lined with all swell
dom and the street full of the handsome
carriages of the returning churchgoers.
In the afternoon and for the rest of the
day swelldom maintains a strict OBJ
security.
1t is the fashion not to be seen, and
fashion is as relentless on Sunday as on
other days The curtains are not drawn
there is simply nobody there. Not
even a servant girls white capped head
is visible. Not even the sunny faces Of
childhood break the monotony of rich
vacuity. For any apparent sign Of life
these miles of brownstone are deserted.
You and other strangers have the walks
all to yourselves The public stages are
withdrawn. But for the rolling wheels
Of hotel and livery hacks that cart visi-
tors to and from the park you might
shut your eyes and fancy yourself in
some silent cemetery New York Her

The place which the teacher has made
for himself in the educational system Of
Germany is certainly most impressive.
This place of responsibility and influence
is not newly acquired It is an inherit
ance from the past; transmission Of
powers won by the courage, zeal and in
tellectual strength Of the teachers Of
three centuries. Beginning with the
reformation-the time from which the
present school system of Germany dates
the teacher has filed a prominent
place in all educational reforms.
Witness the work of Luther, Erasmus
and Melancthon, Of Trotzendorf, Wolf
and Sturm, of Ratich, Comenius and
Pestalozzi, and of a host Of others, not
only in promulgating new PHILOSOPHERS
and methods of teaching, but in putting
into practice new courses of study, in
calling out for education the active in
terest of princes and people and, wher-
ever it was necessary, in shaping legisla-
ton relating to education both high and
low.-Educationa Review

None do so little for the very poor of
New York as its very rich. Efficient work
ers among the poor are at present generally
drawn from the poor themselves or from
the middle and professional class. No one
need wonder at this. Effectual charity
work and the requirements Of modern so
ciety do not easily consort. A very small
proportion Of those who possess enormous
wealth i'm the city subscribe literally to its
various charities; comparatively few can
be counted on for a ready support in any
properly conducted and hopeful philan-
thropic movement and fewer still are found
willing to fulfil the more difficult, the more
necessary duty of gaining personal knowl-
edge of the needs and wrongs Of the poor
through personal study Of their situation
and friendly intercourse with themselves.
] say such attention, such knowledge,
are not likely to be given by the very rich.
To win fortune today implies a singleness
of purpose, concentration Of all the fac
ulties of the man to the doing Of one thing.
The very rich man must be a very busy
man if he would make large sums or keep
large sums of monty.-Dr w s. Rains
ford in Harper's Weekly.

THE MIGHT RIDE.


Tonight we rode beneath moon
That made the mOorland pale;
And our horses feet kept well the tune,
And our pulses did not fail.
The moon shone clear; the boar frost fell
The world slept, as it seemed;
Sleep held the night, but we rode well,
And as we rode we dreamed.
We dreamed Of ghostly horse and hound
The flight at dead Of night;
The more the fearful thoughts we found
The more was our delight.
And when we heard the white owl ay
And boot with mournful tone,
We thought to see dead men 60 by
And pressed our horses on.
The merrier then our riding song
Upon the homeward road.
Oh, whether the way be short or long
Is all in the riders moOdI
And still our pulses Kept the tale,
Our gailop kept the tune,
As round and over hill and vale
We rode beneath the moon.

Results Of Cultivation.

BY careful cultivation the small black
sloe has been transformed into the juicy
and golden yellow gage plum, and the
most delicious pippins owe their origin
to the dininutive, acrid crab apple. The
savory cantaloupe in wild state in India
varies from the size of plum to that of
a lemon, and in most cases is either in
sipid or bitter. Chicago Tribune.
