Books for a Small Town Library.

'Childrens books are the first nee
essity because the fundamental idea
of the library is educational, and chill
dren are more easily trained to enjoy
good books than adults" writes Nellie
Blanchan, on Starting a Village
Library" in the October Ladies' Home
Journal. 1.-THE best fiction, biography,
history, science and travel are alone
worth buying. One good live book is
worth a hundred dead ones discarded
from the private library or garnet Of
some townsman who was doubtless
thankful to have a convenient dump
ing-ground for them. Excellent lists
of popular books may be had from sew
eral state library commissions, which
also lend travelling libraries at very
small cost to such communities as cam
not afford to own their books. A care
full record of all books asked for should
be kept by the librarian, and the best
of these should be purchased as
promptly as possible. 1t is well to
spend small sums monthly, rather than
larger ones more rarely, that the needs
of the people may be supplied as they
arise. and also that the shelves may
contain what is newest and best. Dis
counts of from 20 to 40 per cent. on
books purchased in quantities for
| libraries are given by the large pub
! fishing houses"

Dragon Sofa Pillow.

One of the newest designs in the sofa
pillow, as well as one of the most orig
inal, is that shown representing IL Jap
anese dragon mounted on Il shield and
worked in tapestry cross-stitch. Now
that the sofa pillow has suddenly ac-
CURED a new Importance, and it is con-
sidered necessary to the correct ornameli-
tation of sofa or divan that from twenty
to thirty pillows should adorn a single
one, there is sudden demand for more
elaborate designs than have been in use
hitherto. A revival of the old-fashionei
and the shield and dragon of the latest
pillow are both worked in this stitch
A square piece of canvas is first pasted
on, the shield is then worked in black,
and the Japanese dragon in the old blue
and dull green and gold colors of ancient
tapestry. The threads of canvas are thea
drawn, and the shield is outlined on the
gold satin, which covers the pillow back
and front. A ruff1e of gold-yellow satin
ribbon, bordered with black, finishes the
edge, forming a very rich border. There
are five yards of ribbon in each color. 1t
takes two-thirds of a yard of double
width satin for each side of the pillow,
and the pillow itself must be twenty-four
inches, filled with down. The beauty of
the design is such that it resembles a
painting, and the vivid representation of
the dragOn-which is one of distinction
in Japan-whle not conducive perhaps to
peaceful images of slumber, creates an
artistic and brilliant atmosphere which
will enhance the attractions of less pre-
tentious pillow decorations

A Please mt Letter.

1t takes a clever man to find a good
word to say on every occasion. 1t is
said of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he
once received letter from his friend,
Professor Edward S. Morse, and found
the handwriting wholly illegible. Mr..
Aldrich was not at loss for an an
swer. In due time there came to Mr..
Morse the following reply:
My dear Morse, it was very pleasant
to receive a letter from you the other
day. Perhaps l should have found it
pleasanter if l had been able to de-
cipher it. l don't think l mastered
anything beyond the date, which I
knew. and the signature, at which l
guessed.
There is singular and perpetual
charm in letter of yours-it never
grows old, and it never loses its nov
city. One can say every morning as
one looks at it: Here's a letter of
Morses l haven't read yet. l think l
shall take another shy at it today, and
maybe 1 shall be able in the course of
a few years to make out what he
means by those It's that look like VS.
and those is that haven't any eye
browS."
Other letters are read and thrown
away and forgotten, but yours are
kept forever-unread. One of them will
last a reasonable man a lifetime

Two Incidents.

Here are two incidents of war times
which are full of meaning to the
thoughtful American.
In the Civil War companies of col
ored troops on their way to the front
were forbidden to march through the
principal streets of Philadelphia, lest
they should be stoned by the mob
They were going to give their lives for
through alleys and obscure streets to
do it, so strong was the prejudice
against them in this Northern city.
THE Washington Star" published
the other day an account of visit
made by one of it's reporters to the
wounded soldiers at Washington Bar
racks. Two colored soldiers came up
both of whom were recovering from
wounds. The reporter spoke to one of
them, a bright-faced mulatto, asking
where he had been shot.
In the charge up San Juan Hill in
July he answered. Il belong to Troop
e. 9th Cavalry. The ball entered my
cheek. The artery was cut and was
squirting blood. l managed to get back
of the firing line somehow, but the
doctor said he could do nothing for me.
Just then Rough Rider came up. He
put his thumb on my jugular vein and
held it there two hours. Two hours

Then the surgeon of his troop came up

Mothers Talk.

Little children often have an unrea-
sonable dread of darkness. 1t is wiser
70 let them have a night light in this
case, as the cost is but trifling, and
II can be placed quite out of reach, so
tnat there is no danger of fire.
DO not allow child to suck its
numb. for it is an ugly habit and
leads to serious injuries in several
ways. To begin with, it causes pro-
trudlng and badly shaped lips and even
presses the upper jaw out of shape in
some cases. 1t destroys the contour of
the thumb. and. worse still, deforms
the chest. Children who persevere in
TINS habit keep the arm very long in
one position. and it's weight on the
thorax causes depression on the ribs,
which diminishes the lung capacity.
Children should not be required to
conform to the three-meal limit until
they are five or six years old; and even
after that age they will need, for
time. some light nourishment between
meals.
Lime water and camphor are found
in the family medicine chest in every
well regulated household. And MANY
wise mothers prepare them at home.
1t is an easy matter, as lime water
is prepared by shaking lime, by drop
ping a piece of quicklime into water
The white powder is left at the bottom
and when the first water is poured off
boiling water is added in its place
Camphor is easily made by crumbling
the gum into a pint bottle filled with
pure alcohol When the solution set
ties it is ready for use.
Biting the nails is frequent habit
among nervous children. To cause the
habit to become distasteful wipe each
little-finger-tip with solution of
quassia chips and water whenever the
hands are washed. The little one will
soon habitually avoid the bitter taste
