 Most parents try to know what their children eat ard are careful to provide the right kind of food and plenty of it. Are they equally watchful to see what they read, and do they see that their children have plenty of good reading matter? Do all parent ts remember that to be in- oFTffre+a9t in this respect, or to deny their children good reading, is to starve them mentally, or perhaps poison them2 No human parent would ever think of poisoning .on starving his child, physically Isit less human to starve them men, tally?
 Parents, in selecting Christmas presents for your children, can you do better than place in their hands good, interesting, wholesame books which may not only prove the be- ginning of a well-seIected library, but may also be the means of shap- ing their whole career through life?

and noble endeavor and give us true conceptions of the possibilities and purposes of life. Life is short and, to most of us, it's leisure hours are few. or the multitude of books we can wisely use only very few. A well-read person is one who has read judieiously rather than exten- sively. Just here some readers err grievously. A person can well af- ford to say that he has not read many of the popular productions of our time-books that create a sem sation and, happily pass away
 tnever to rise again.
 Moreover, we should never pre- tend that we have read what we have not read; that we like what we do not like; that we know what we do D lot know.
 A literary taste can be cultivated and developed. In the selection of books and in the reading of them is child's choice guided and elevated Herein lies grave responsibility for both parents and teachers. :
 In speaking of the necessity of making the beginnings of children s readings attractive, Dr. Edward Ev- erett Hale expressed this opinions. Tn the first place we must make this business agreeable, whichever avenue we take into the maze must be one of the pleasan test avenues, or else, in a world which the good God has made very beautiful, the young people go a-skating, or fishing, or aswimming, or a-voyaging, and not a-reading, aud no blame to them.
 And in a somewhat similar strain MT. Ruskin, in speaKing of chil- dren's reading, said: Make your children happy in their youth; let distinction comejto them, if it will, after well spent and well-remem- bered years; but let them now break and eat the bread of Heaven with singleness and gladness of heart, and send portions to them for whom nothing IS provided, and so Heaven send you it's grace, before meat, and after it."
 The desire to read good books and to acquire such knowledge as can be had only by such reading is the natural sequence to sound and wise training, but unless the best quality of reading matter is supplied to children they easily become the prey of the cheap and vicious litera- ture with which the markets are flooded today. Nothing should be more carefully watched, nothing af- fects more the career of child than the character of books be reads. Every gateway to history, res-arch, discovery, and invention should be thrown open to the chil- dren. Has any man found phi
