HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Books Should Be Well Chosen and Rea'
Carefully, Not Devoured.

Books Should BE Well Chosen and Read
Carefully, Not Dcvoured.
Study is like dinner. The viands
must be we'll chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, then we'll. turncd.over in
the mental stomach for awhile until
with ease and comfort they are perfect
ly digested and furnish nutriment to
the brain. Most students study without
thought, which is like eating without
digesting. Others read merely as a fad
and soon forget all they may have
learned.
The most satisfactory method Of study
is the digestive. 1t is the thorough one
the one that gives strength to the
BRAIN. Take the subject You are study
ing. Read few lines Or few pages,
as the case may be, then put the book
down and think on what you have read.
Turn it about in your mind from every
standpoint. Do not accept it Immediate
ly. Argue for and against it in your
mind. In other words, masticate it.
You need not be at your leisure to do
this. Do it in your walks, in your idle
moments, at any time When you have
satisfied yourself Oh the subject, go on
with little more in the same way. In
a short time you will find yourself
more thorough student than if you
had read all at sitting The best edu-
Gated man in the end is the man who
learns slowly, but surely.-New York
Advertiser.

THOSE STRIPED STOCKINGS.

A Lewiston Man Tells a Good Story of the
Indian Territory.
The returned Lewistonian fell to talk
ing over revolver that he carried in
the arrest of desperate in New Mexico,
and then he diverged and told this story:
''Once when we were going down in
the Indian Territory as we rode out of
the village we passed the house where
a New Brunswick girl had just come to
live in the little prairie village There
had been considerable joking about the
new arrival, and as we passed she came
out to hang up her washing on the line.
I rode a little red pony-one that l had
snapped shotgun for-and when I saw
the New Brunswick girl hang up a pair
Of the longest, biggest striped stockings
1 had ever seen rode right up into the
yard and under the clothesline and
seized those stockings and pulled 'em
off the line and rode away.
"All that trip down across the hot
plains and over the rustling buffalo
grass the boys plagued me about those
stockings. Ihad put them into my trunk
and kept them. don't know what I
took them for or why 1 kept them.
"Well we got down into the territory
and among the Indians. They are great
gamblers, you know, and we bet with
them everything we had. We raced and
won from them all the money and
blankets they possessed.
''The blankets were United States
army blankets, but we can use them by
cutting out the u. s. At lastwe came
down to foot runners, and the Indians
brought out their man. He was tall,
broad chested and long limbed. He
could go like the wind, and our best
runner was nothing compared with
him. Why, he was the best physical
man ever saw. He looked at our man,
and his thick lip curled in derision.
't'He no good-get mani
''The savage was stripped to his skin.
looked at QUIZ man.
jake I said, you wait a minute.
Then I went and got those stockings.
When brought them out, they created
the biggest kind of a sensation, and the
curiosity to touch them was something
comical.
''They just wanted to put their hands
on them to see what they were. H.
ST did not let them satisfy their Gu
riosity, but carried them through the
crowd as if they were only relics.
Jake, put those on and run with
them, I said
Why, can't run with those on, ,
he said.
"'Yes, you can. Don't you see that
they are mystifed?'
''He put them on, and though he was
large man they came clear to his hips.
We pinned them up, and he started
with the big Indian. It:was plain by
the faces of the greasers that they had
lost all faith in their man asiagainst the
striped stockings The Indian ran lit
tie distance and then fell behind, with
his eyes fixed in terror on those flying
stockings. He was beaten. And do you
know I sold those stockings to the In
dian for five ponies and rifle??''-Lew-

SWEET PEAS.

Sweet peas Of many colors, pink and blue,
And dusky purple mellowing to q hue
OF brown veined crimson when look at YOU.
1 think my eyes have borrowed of your dew.
Because knew you long ago, mayhap
Your white face looking from purple cap,
And your fine bonnet with a modest flap,
And loved you you lay upon my lap.
Because I like the dear old fashioned traits.
Your stately carriage and your gracious ways;
Because my heart can never cease to praise
The tender beauty of the bygone days;
Because you smell Of gardens long ago,
With old world lilies standing in row,
And dahlias with their gaudy furbelow.
Is this the reason why love you SO?
Because-because, oh, blossoms, you have read
My secret heart, you seem to bow your head
For piety and pity Of the dead.
Because perchance leave name unsaid.

Little cad" at the Picnic.

Enterprise i'll advertising has almost
become a fine art in the present day.
Novelties are not only numerous, but
frequently unique. A Birmingham
chemist recently, with his family, at
tended a picnic, and after the knife and
fork tea, which formed part of the pro-
gramme, he distri buted among the COM
pany a number of sweetmeats, all Of
which bore an advertisement referring
to his specialties, and later during the
CONCERT which followed his daughter
sang q song the words of which set
forth the advantages which could be de-
rived from the use of certain pills, the
frequent application Of well known
plaster or daily doses of some one's ton
ic. Such enterprise, if somewhat ''shop-
py," certainly merits reward for its in
genuity.-Birmingham Mail.

: WE WE'RE PLAYMATES.

Come, sit beside my fro with me!
"A quarter of a century
Has passed since we together sat,
Dear lips say, on the chimney mat
And watched the evening fire until
The sandman came our eyes to fill.
A quarter of q century
How much this means to you and mel
To those whose love still helps us bear
Our daily burden, daily care.
But for whose words we might not know
That we were playmates long ago!
Come, sit beside the fire with me!
And let us fancy it to be
The selfsame fire that filled our eyes
With childish wonder and surprise
And watch it till we seem to hear
The same old sandman drawing nearl
Forget this evening-for we can
The sober woman, serious man.
Revive, in all their simple joy,
The laughing girl and careless boy,
That we may feel what others'know-
That we were playmates long ago!
