THE EFFEor OF BOOKS.

Perhaps there is no one thing which enters more deeply into the very warp and wool of ones character, than the books one reads. One of the greatest blessings that can come to q young life is the love of good books. The practice of keeping before the young, growing mind, beautiful and uplifting images, bright, cheerful, healthy thoughts from good books, is of ines timable value.
 The difference between the future of the boy who has formed the habit of good reading, and theone who has not, is as great as that between the edu- .eated and the uneducated youth, be- tween the boy who. is reared i'll pow erty-stricken district and the one who amid pleasant surroundings.
 Next to the actual society of q noble, high-minded author. is the benefit to be gained by reading his books. The mind is brought into harmony with the hopes, the aspirations, the ideals of the writer, so that it is impossible, after wards, to be satisfied with low or ignoble things. The horizon of the  reader broadens. his point of view changes, his ideals are higher and nobler, his whole outlook on life is more elevated.
 The importance of having great models, high ideals, held constantly before the mind when it is in plastic condition, cannot be overestimated. The books we read in youth may make or mar our lives. Many man has at trlbuted his first start and all his after success to the books read in his boy hood. They opened up 10 him his possibilities, indicated his tastes, his tendencies. and helped him to find his place in life. They permit men and women to form examples that are use full in carrying out high ideals, and they bring pleasure and contentment to all.

MANAGERS COMBINE.

Cleveland, May 9.-At the meeting of vaudeville managers of the Elmira circuit in this city yesterday the sug- Restion was made that a closer work ing agreement be reached between the various vaudeville houses and the thir- fy or forty road companies. The sug- gestion was also made that they form q combination that will save some of the present large expenses and ar range the matter of opening dates and places more satisfactorily than now exists. It Is purposed to arrange in a more satisfactory manner the selec- Jion of each company's opening city. and 1t will probably be decided by chance, the name of each city being written on a card and whichever card Is withdrawn from box the company getting it will go to that city. Wheth- CT the distance be far or near, each company will contribute pro prata to the expense. Unnecessarily long jumps and unwleldy routes will be avoided. The matters will be laid before q meet ing of vaudeville managers in New York on August 3. The betterlnent of attractions. saving fin railroad fares, and the payment of better salaries is sought.

Cordite a ,TroaDAe to 1reat BritaiIa.
 Ever since cordite came into use as an explosive in the British service there has been more or less complaint about it. One of the earliest troubles reported was the deterioration of the powder in hot climate like that of India. This difficulty was partly rem edied by changing the variety of gum cotton employed in making the com pound. Then there were grave ques- tions as to the soundness of the cord iite patents, which covered a process so nearly like one of Nobel's that law suits resulted. Again, it has been ob- served that the gases produced by the combustion of the British smokeless powder have a highly destructive eff feet on the lining of guns. And this objection forms the chief basis of a fresh campaign now being waged against cordite.-N Y. Tribune.

sweden,s old Maids, Homes.

Tn Sweden and Norway there are several old maids homes, and at least one of them is a very attractive institution. A very wealthy man, dying more than 200 years ago, left most of his fortune to the old maids among his descendants. A superb home was built and furnished and managed by salaried trustees. Any old maid who can prove blood rela- tionship to the founder of the insti- tuition is entitled to q place in the home. She has a private suite of rooms, private servant, private meals, and is subject to no rules save such as ordinary good behavior de- mands.-N. Y. Times.

Oid-Fashioned Dinmonds

To-day, to the diamond dealer, a stone purchased 20 years ago is in ap- pearance as old-fashioned as suit of clothes of that period is to the tailor. Instead of being cut oval or cushion shape, as diamonds were then, stones to-day are cut round, thus increasing the number of surfaces. It used to be the style to have a large table, as the upper surface of diamond is called, and to obtain this stone was cut in the form of a cushion. This style was changed not many years ago upon the discovery that by cutting stone round and increasing the number of bowels it's brilliancy was greatly in- creased.-The Empire.
