What to Read.

Read the good old books that have
lived and held their own by the vital
ity of matter and style that makes
them standards. Don't read n lot Of
new books about the Bible. Read the
Bible, and then you will understand
what you may afterward read about
the Bible. Read Shakespeare, not con-
troversies on Shakespeare; read Scott
and Thackeray and Dickens and George
Eliot. Do not be content with Il short
history Of literature that tells you their
best works and makes a few discOn-
nected extracts and tells you their
standing and what you should think
of them.
Read intelligently and with interest,
and every book you read will guide
you to the next that Is good for you
personally far better than a strange
mentor can do, who Is often full Of
theories and preJudlces or perhaps has
got up course of study as a pot boil
err and has no real love Of his subject.

The pair of us had been In Athens

English excursionists who were max

an antiquary who was looked up to and
respected for his knowledge of ancient
history and ruins. and each evening
there was gathering In the parlofs of
the hotel TO hear him give sort of
lecture on what lie had seen during the
day. Professor Hampstead. as he was
named had been charged TO pick up all
the old Greek manuscripts To be had

such documents that doubtless led To
our undolng. One day man named
Talanti, who had somewhat the man

the professor two ancient manuscripts
as a present. and TO show his further
good will he announced valuable dis
covery which had Just been made on
the island Of Agina. about 40 miles dis

delayed the opening of it that some of
his friends might be present. Three or
four of them were going TO his Island
home on the morrow, and he would be
glad to have as many of us foreigners
go along as could make 1t convenient.
The voyage would be made IN his
schooner, aud there would be no trou
BILE about feeding and lodging all who
chose to go.
Aside from the English party, there
We're Americans, Germans and French
men to the number of 20 In Athens,
and when the list was made up we
numbered over DO, OF whom 10 were
ladies. When we came on board the
schooner, there was considerable sur
prise Mt finding her the craft she was.
She was nothing more than trader,
and her accommodations were of the
most primitive character. Mr.. Talantl's
friends, who We're supposed to be emf
nent professors, turned out TO be a
common looking lot and not inclined
to be sociable, but we were out for a
jaunt and might expect a few draw
backs. We had a favorable wind for
the voyage, and the professor and 9th
ers felt that 1t would be the event of
their lives AS tile weather was pleas

when lie attempted to enter into CON

found them surly enough. This ex
cited our surprise, as they We're sup
posed to be gentlemen. When we
came to look them over, we began to
get little suspicious. Their language
and manners did not correspond with
their DRESS and they did not seem to
be at their ease. We also caught one
of them exchanging a wink and grin
with one Of the common sailors, and
this caused US much worriment. In
a quiet way we reported the fact to
one of the English party, and he quiet
ly replied:
"Do you know, I've got a suspicion
that this is n put up job and that we
shall hear something drop as soon as
we land at the island"
But why should Mr.. Talanti deceive

Comparatively few people realize of

Bile Some remarkable statistics In re-
gard to this have been gathered by NJ.
Dusolier, Il French scientist
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durancc shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding ON bi-
cycles or In carriages, he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
Wild animals that are akin to dogs.

fox can do quite us well. If not better.
hansen met one of these foxes on the
Ice Al point more than 20 miles north

Is $50 miles from the Aslatlc coast. Es-
klmo and Siberian dogs can travel II

is one ease on record In which team

hunt Mt the rate OF Is TO 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
as Is proved by the fact that dog of
this breed once bent n thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles In GA min
utes, which was at the rate OF nearly
IL yards IA second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four footed creatures and their speed

How great an achievement this Is
may be Judged from the fact that

ceeds 10 yards. Moreover, 1t IL said
that hare at It's greatest speed never
