Libraries, Schools and Publishers.

1t is not many years since the public
libraries and the schools began that con-
nection which is of such vital interest
to each, for how will the library find
readers except from the ranks of those
who have been educated in the schools, and
how will the schools succeed in instilling
into the minds of the children love of,
and thirst for knowledge, if their teach
ing is confined only to the text books?
Fifteen years ago, there were compare
lively few suitable books of an historical,
scientific, and literary nature from which
to draw.
Now all that is changed. A small army
of writers is engaged in writing and edit
ing works treating of nearly every depart
menJ of science, literature and history
for the benefit of the young, and pub
fishers are issuing catalogues comprising
the titles of such works. The best that
the world has produced in all ages is be.
ing specially prepared for children and
youth. Houghton, Mitflin & Co. and
Chas. Scribner's Sons publish such cata-
logues, and number eff others. Gradual
ly a familiarity with the best in thought
and language will raise the tone of thought
in the pupil, and so in the man, and so in
the nation by this work which is destined
to spread, as the influence of the school
sentiment has spread. We are compelled
by law to have schools. Long before the
millennium we shall be compelled to have
libraries to supplement them. FL. P.
James in The Library News Letter.

The bringing habits of Animals.

Tame rabbits are commonly kept
without water; but they may be seen
licking the. bars of their hutch after
shower and drink eagerly when they
have the chance. Most other rodents,
including rats, are thirsty creatures.
The only animals living in very dry
places which seem able to do entirely
without drink are snakes and reptiles.
In the cold desert of shifting said in
Kashgar there were no reptiles, and
not even a fly. But the Afghan boun-
dairy commission found swarms of liz
ards and a new and venomous species
of adder in astonishing numbers in the
awful desert of hot shifting sand at
the corner where Persia, Beluchistan
and Afghanistan meet.
We must note one. exception, the gi-
raffe, which Mr.. Dryden believes exists
for three-quarters of the; year in North
Kalanari without water. But this cam
not be proved until the desert has been
explored and the total absence Of water
confirmed. There is known to be water
beneath the surface, and if the giraffe
does live waterless, he must imbibe his
LIQUID nutriment at second hand in the
Juices of the leaves of the trees which
have their roots in the moisture. Seals
do not apparently drink, neither do cor
morants and penguins; but there can
he little more evaporation from their
bodies than from those of fish, and
their food is wet and moist. A more
difficult question is that Of the water
supply of arctic animals in winter; pos
sibly they eat snow.

A Peculiar Fish.

Lying limp and dry on a fishmong-
er,s slab, the turbot is perhaps the least
interesting of fish. When swimming
in an artificial sea, or lying on the
sandy bottom, it is the most attractive
OF all the denizens of this mock ocean,
and, whether at rest or In motion, has
an air of vigilance, vivacity and in
telligence greater than that of any
normally shaped fish. This is in part
due to his habits, and in part to the
expression Of the fat fish's eye This,
which is sunk and invisible in the dead
fsh, is raised on a kind of turret in
the living turbot, or sole and set there
in a half revolving apparatus, work
ing almost as independently as the
"ball and socket" eyes of the chame-
leon. There is this difference, how
ever, in the eye of the lizard and of
the fish-the iris of the chameleon is
a mere pinhole at the, top of the eye
ball, which is thus absolutely without
expression. The turbot's eyes are
black and gold, and intensely bright,
with none of the fixed, staring, stupid
appearances of ordinary fishes eyes.
1t lies upon the sand and jerks its eyes
independently into position to survey
any part of the ground surface and the
water above or that on any side at any
angle. If it had light rays to project
from its eyes instead of to receive, the
effect would be precisely that made by
the sudden shifting of the jointed APP
paratus which casts the electric light
from warship at any angle on the sea,
sky or horizon.
The turbots, though ready, graceful
swimmers, moving in wavelike undu-
Iations across the water, orsdashing of
like flash when so disposed, usually
lie perfectly still upon the bottom.
They do not, like the founders, cover
themselves with sand, for they mimic
the color of the ground with such abb
solute fidelity that, except for the shin
ing eye, it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish them. 1t would appear that
volition plays some part in this subtle
conformity to environment, for one
turbot which is blind, has changed 6
tint too light, and not at all in harmony
with that of the sand.

Preooclnu. Ellen West.

Little Ellen West, aged years and
a resident of Hyde Park, is inclined to
be philosophical. She is constant at
tendant at church, and very frequently
accompanies her parents to lectures at
the university. Not long ago she be-
gan to study into the natures of some
of her small playmates. Certain ac-
lions of one of her friends puzzled her
greatly, and she finally astonished her
mother by the following observation:
Mamma, believe that Marion is
very tickle. When have candy or am
riding my bicycle she pretends to think
great deal of me, but at other times
she won't hardly look at me. Isn't
that what Professor -- meant the
other day when he said: Laugh and
the world laughs with you; weep and
you weep alone|
Mrs. West assured Ellen that she had
seized upon a great truth.
The same Ellen attends the Ray
school on F'ifty-seventh street, One
month her standing was very low, and
her father demonstrated with her, She
was duly impressed by the force of his
remarks, and the next month brought
home better report. Her father was
pleased, but not wanting Ellen to cease
her industrious efforts he was rather
scant in his praise. This tried the
little girl sorely, and, turning from
him, with tears in her eyes, she said:
Papa, you forget that heaven Is not
reached at a single bound"

Bobbte was, an exceptionally preco:

father fmmerse the candidates and
would listen attentiVely to the words,

cred Bobbie, He asked many ques-
lions upon the subject, but never seem

fed him. One Of Boobies prime favor
ties and his constant playfellow was
huge st. Bernard noted for his beauty
and intelligence. Early one morning
Bobbie and the dog. were observed in
the garden, the boy husily engaged In
digging a hole with the fire shovel he
had surreptitiously distracted from the
cooks quarters His air was very mys-
terious and the dog seemed to assume
extra vigilance as he oversaw the oper-
ations. For a long time the child dug
away at the soft sod. Finally he
seemed to be satisfied with the dimen-
sions, and together he and the dog hur-
ried to the pump in the rear yard. In
short time they had the hole full OF
water. Then Bobbie, taking the obe-
dent old dog by the collar, led him
sedately to the hole, and, selling his
head and shoulders as he had seen his
father do with the candidates at bap-
tism, he soused the animals head into
the pit AS it came up dripping Bobbie
calculated with evident triumph: I'm

some natives first saw the new ghost
ship. 1t was in broad daylight. The
air was so clear that the feathers in
a far-off birds wing were distinct,
Suddenly bearing down upon their
rough boat a great steamer came.
Smoke rolled from her tunnels. The
natives put their little ship about to
escape from the track of the oncoming
vessel and they saw that it was a gray
thing, with masts of sgossamer and
tunnels of gauze. In the bright sun
light it was a great, massive ship,
carved perfectly from a mountain of
mist. There was no throb Of engines,
no sound of waters cut, although the
foam played around the prov.
Since then the phantom steamer has
been often sighted-at twilight, at
noon, on stormy days and clear ones.
