THE HOME LIBRARY.
Begin One on Well Laid Foundations, and

-------~--
Begin One on Wen Laid Foundations, and
II VIII Develop Day by Day.
In these days of diffusive education
every home requires library as much
as it requires parlor or kitchen. A
place TO keep books in is one of the first
essentials in imparting a tone of refine
ment 10 hotNe. Yet to have the books
themselves is more important than to
have the special room which is their
casket. A corner OF the drawing room,
with table and an easy chair, pens and
ink and n few low shelves, makes a capi-
tai library.
In some homes drawing room and IL
brary are combined, and the books ell
bow the bric-a-brac and the soft divans
and cushioned lounges. What sort OF
books will You have m your home IL
brary? Remember, you need not buy
them all at once. A library is like
garden. Ii grows by cultivation. Like
the family 10 whom it belongs, it de-
velops day by day, year by year. 1t is
like house. II must needs possess foun-
dations well hewn and strongly laid.
First among its must be's is a good en-
cyclopedia. Among other books of ref
ference dictionary Of dates in indis-
pensable. SO is a compendium OF IA
miliar quotations and readers hand
book The very best attainable lexicon
should be in some accessible spot where
the children and young people may form
the habit of consulting it whenever
doubt arises as to the spelling, pronun-
citation or precise shade of meaning of
any word, whether a word in common
use or one seldom heard. This is schol-
arly exactitude, not pedantry.
In good and well chosen home library
there will by degrees enter separation
and adjustment. One shelf will hold
volumes of history, another will be de-
voted to biography, another to poetry, to
travels, to essays. The book loving boy
or girl will insensibly acquire so intimate
an acquaintance with the books that he
or sne can put hand on any wished for
volume without long and bewildered
search. The backs of the books will re-
gard the family in friendly fashion,
and some brown, fat, shabby, faded,
much read, and often made the COM
panions of daily life, will have an in
dividuality never the portion of any but
friends of the family.
When in such house member of
the circle brings home book or half
dozen books at time, nobody is cold or
critical or disposed to consider the pur-
chase piece Of extravaganza. These
books are held in an estimation as high
as daily food, as clothing or shoes, says
Harper's Bazar, authority for the fore
going. The library among such people
is the fostering nurse of all that is
bright, sweet and uplifting in the home
of which it is the center and the rallying

Mr.. J. H. Bsrtels, Of Bartelsville, l. l.,
harvested the largest crop Of wheat in
his section this fall and claims his large
yield due to getting his seed in the
ground properly. Mr.. Bartels has al
ways advanced the argument that wheat
sown in rows closer together and less
seed in the row gives better results than
wider rows with the grain punched in
the row. Last fall he used a 6-inch

ordered q 2O.shoe Dowsgiac drill which
sows in rows five inches apart. (See cut

Great Record in Chicago.

The Columbian Exposition or the

tude and wonderful exhibition of the
many improvements made in the past
decade for the benefit Of mankind has
shown nothing of greater excellence or OF
superior scientific effect in its action on
malignant diseases than the DR.. d. M.

made on thirty patients who were
afflicted with cancer and tumors, many
of them Of the most malignant form, IN
the past two months under the obserVR-
ton of committee Of the most skilltul
physicians in Chicago, are now closed,
and the final report has been submitted
to the judges, who have announced their
decision on the results of the treatment.
Tneir verdict is that the tests made have
in every case been successful in destroy
ing the malignant growth-sll the can

Mating bed," while the surrounding

to be anything like the Combination Ol
