WHAT WE READ.

Mr.. Howells said in "Silas Lapham'
that our civilization came mainly
through books. Nothing could be
truer. 1t is but a modicum of culture
that we get by open precept or by
word of mouth. We obtain our ideals
for art and life from books. This be-
ing the case, nothing is more impor-
that than the sort of books we read.
We should see to it, above all, that
they should be healthy; above all,
sane. Books which tend to pull down
ones faith in life or in mankind are
not for u.s. The sweetness and light
of Matthew Arnold (if it was Mat
thew Arnold) is a thing to have in
front of us. We want our civilization
to tend toward these things, and we
will do well to choose our reading by
them, says the Woman's Home Com
panion.
This does not mean that all the nov
els we read shall be pictures of ro-
nance. A simple, clean story of the
rugged side of life is Of great value.
Indeed, it is far better than the pull
ing of the sentimentalist. The true
ideal in fiction would seem to be the
happy medium which lays neither too
great stress on the joy nor too great
on the sorrow. Life itself is of a
mingled wool.
AS for philosophy, simplicity and
sanity are what we need. Pessim-
ism, while interesting, is not sound.
It tends to make one distrustful, when
trust is the best. 1t points out the
bad things when we want to look
mostly for the good For though the
world holds both, it is a fact that we
find that for which we look, and that
by presupposing good we are apt to
make it sprout in places where
sour-mouthed cynic would only find
evil So let us read the cheerful phil
osophers. There are plenty such. Let
us not give too much ear to the sens
uous among the poets, but rather read
the simple, sweet old fellows who be-
lieved in the fire of the spirit. In fic-
ton let us see that we always come
away from a book simply pleased, or
bettered either by an uplifting or a
Christening. And let us remember
that the civilization we leave to our
children depends largely on the books
we read or give them. by their
books we shall know them"
THE CHILD OF EIGHT YEARS.
Have you noticed that your child
of seven or eight years seems tired
and looks pale? And do you know
that this a very critical time for a
child?
The physical development of the
child brain almost ceases at this peri
cd, and there are very important
nerve connections being made inside
the dear little heads.
The mechanism is getting into
working order; for that reason almost
all the energy of the body goes to the
brain. And so it is that children have
little strength at this age Nature
needs all they can spare.
You must not expect too much OF
the children of eight. They will seem
law and will do everything spasmod-
ically-play, work and eat only when

A delegation OF chiefs OF the Angerra tribe

ANGLO-RUSSTAN PACT.
St. Petersburg LOOKS Upon One as
Proba5Le-Britain' Crafty Game.

St Petersburg, June 2-The comment here on
the settlement Of the Instrumentation fishery
dispute IS significant The agreement is vel
coined by the Russian press as evidence Of the
increasing probability Of an AngLo-Russian al
lance, the papers pointing out that public opin-
ion In Great Britain. France and Russia is be-
coming more favorable. the war, instead OF prov
ing an obstacle TO an alliance. serving as one Of
the arguments in fits favor.
More significant still is strong intimatfon in
the 'Novosti'' that a commercial treaty be-
tween the two countries will pave the way 10
purely commercial rapproachement The paper
makes the point that without such commercial
treaty any political agreement would be very
trail
Though ii is impossible TO ascertain at this
time whether the question Of such a commercial
treaty has actually been taken up, the possi-
bnity Of its being the next step in the pro-
gramrne toward a political agreement arouses
the keenest interest in diplomatic circles, where
it is considered fraught with most far-reaching
importance. The United States probably VIII be
the chief loser by such a treaty America has
already suffered from the diffsrential duties
levied against her IN retaliation for the imposi-
ton Of a couutervailing duty on Russian sugar
imports OF American agricultural machinery
etc which a few years ago were very large
having fallen almost TO nothing. With tariff
concessions Great Britain Is bound TO succeed TO
all this trade with It's big potendalities for the
future.
The impression is growing that Great Britain
is playing q shrewd game for big stakes com
rnercially as well as politically. and that while
a complete agreement would be mutually ad-
vantageous 10 both Russia and Great Britain, 1t
would be at the expense of the United States In
both these directions
