Books That Emerson Borrowed.

Emerson always-this attendant fur ther recalls-exemplified In his choice of books his own maxims not to read any publication until it was a year old. But this was perhaps necessar- fly so. inasmuch as he wished always to keep for a long time the books he took out. and recent publications, in the Athenaeum as in many other IT, brararies, are not permitted to be held for so long a period as older works.
 The record book at the Athenaeum in 1867 has down against the Concord scholar Chesterfield's letters, Sweden borg's 'Lyra Apostolica." Huxley, Dryden and Dante. as well as many other less known works, In 1871. which was only five years before his death, Emerson took out Jean PauFs s works. Darwin's sights and Insishts.
 Landor's Famous Women" Ruskin's Ethics of the Dust" Balzac's Illus Ions," Buffers Year of Consolation" and 'sAiiddlemaTch." as well as Horace.

 The cross-examiner had kept the wit ness on the stand for some time. and the witness naturally was getting weary.

 What I mean is that I merely want to learn what you know about this affair."" the lawyer said frownng. 'I don't care anything about your abstract knowledge of law or your information In regard to theosophy. but what you know about this case"
 "Oh, that isn't what you want" said the witness in an off-hand way. 'Tve been trying to give you that for some time. and"
 The lawyer got in an objection and the witness had to stop.
 'If I don't want to know what you know about this particular case and noth- ing else" inquired the lawyer later. what do you think I want to know?"
 That seemed so easy that the witness laughed as he said;
 ''It isn't what I know that you want to know: it's what you think l know that you're after, and you are trying to make me know or prove me liar"
 Then 1t was that every one in the court room knew that he had been on the wit ness stand before.

 No two visitors to the Indiana farm of George Ade, the humorist and play wright, come away with the same stories of it's agricultural marvels. Considered collectively the following deductions con- corning the place are unavoidable:
 For his 2Oo-acre wheat field, Mr. Ade has a machine that takes the place of a harvester and reaper and binder com bined. In addition to the usual crew of eight it cac..ies a cook and a spare hand.
 A new attachment, with ali sorts or little machines in 1t, catches the biggest grains of the wheat, grinds them, huls them adds the necessary ingredients to make batter and fries fapjacks over the waste heat in the fiues as the machine moves through the fields. The cook sim ply turns the f1apjacks as required and hands them to the men, who get syrup from a little drip cock on the side of the harvester connected with tank.
 The spare hand relieves one man after quail squatting in the field, he picks them, clea.l them and losses them to the cook, who has them in the pan while are still kicking and served out to the men ten minutes after they are killed.
 The machine, it should be stated, bags the wheat and stencils the address of the buyer on tic bags.

As they go up into the machine each is washed, peeled or cut. and the olives from the trees are pressed. Vinegar Is carried on the machine with little spice boxes, and the salad is made while tho machine is running, and shot out in separate por- tlons through the dining room window at the end of the run, so that tho guests at the playwrlght's house have their salads never later than 5 seconds from the gath ering of the constituents. If necessary the onion digger can be switched off.
 The consequence of giving great fields to staple products, like wheat and corn. has limited MT.
