A general surprise was given to MI and Mrs E. B. Sherwood, last Tuesday evening, the 10th, when about 25 mem- bers and friends of the Ladies' Social club entered their doors, heavily laden with gifts and refreshments. The oc- casion was the 18th marriage anniver- sary of the said couple. Though talk en so completely by surprise, the guests were none the less welcome and were soon busily engaged playing games, etc., while engaged in social chat. Music was furnished by the organ and phonograph, after which refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, cakes, salads and coffee, were served. As the hour grew late the company departed, after wishing the host and hostess many more happy returns of the day. The gifts, which were useful and Ornamen- tai. were as follows: Mrs Hammond and Mrs Knapp, fancy glass vase, hand painted; MT and Mrs Relyea, glass cake stand; MT and Mrs M. l.. Jen- nings and daughter, sauce dishes and fruit dish; Mrs L. A. Jennings, glass fruit dish; Mrs Emma Wheeler, glass cake plate; Mrs B. Nichols, Mrs c. Wheeler, c. w.

SOCIAL TOPICS.

READING.-BY o. o. WRIGHT.
 A great deal might be said with ref e .ence to the management of public libraries. The selection of books is very important, but the right use of them is even more important, perhaps. Every library should have commit ttee on courses of reading for each year. There ought to be some practical plan suggested to readers in general, and lists for classes in particular. Chil- dren and youth might in this way be directed in their school work very
 much. to their interest and advantage in reading.
 There should be frequent lectures on books and reading, and leaflets on the best books and authors. People | often err in not knowing what they ought to read for their health and inn l provement. Many who read would be glad to be advised and directed in this matter, 1 am sure. Most who read, probably, select the one kind of book they like simply because they have never seriously thought why they | should read at all.
 Indiscriminate reading is like indis- criminate eating, wasteful, injurious, and dangerous. As we should eat to | live for the highest purpose, so should we read. AS we feed the body for | health and strength and happiness so | heart. AS our food should be care fully selected to supply the demands of our physical life, so our sources of knowledge and mental nourishment should be suited to the wants of our souls. If the feeding of the body is a tine art: much more is the feeding of the mind a matter of careful study. For there is the same temptation to pleasure in reading as in eating, and it is quite as easy to fall into habits of mental craving as into habits of bodily appetites.
 | As many people eat simply to grati- | fly the palate without regard to health and efficiency of the bodily functions so many read just for the sake of the thoughts and sensations they delight to recall, with no respect to the high CT considerations of Knowledge, truth
 wisdom, and general usefulness. AnC as one may eat one particular quality of food until the excess of one element of nutrition and the lack of another
 may induce disease; so the excessive
 reading of one class of books to the eX clusiOn of all others may warp and de.
 range the mind. The excessive play of emotions leads to weakness of the Uiro, anu SO UO OI1t lDItI1 OI III sanity; just as excess of StimulatiOr finally wears out the nerves.
 We need variety and proportion 1T
 reading even as in eating. We ough1
 to take in some hard matter of fact
 along with our fiction: and some bi
 ography and history with adventures
 and books of travel. We need science
 asI well as sentiments; religion aa
 much as entertainment. We should
 read. The library should furnish Ill
 with seasonable menu.

rhE CHRISTIAN churches at Con- stantinople, Turkey, and Yokahoma, Japan, have long used the Longman 6 Martinez Pants for painting their churches.

 w. B. Barr, Charleston, W. Va, writes: Painted Frankenburg Block with l.. & M.; shows better than any buildings here have ever done; stands out as though vanished, and actual cost of paint was less than Sl.2O per gallon. Wears and covers like gold.

TONIC TO THE SYSTEM.

For liver troubles and constipation there is nothing better than De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous little Pills. They do not weaken the stom- ach. Their action upon the system is mild, pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore of Lafayette, Ind, says: "No use talking, De Wits Little Early Risers do their work. All other pills have used gripe and make me sick in the stomach and never cured me. De Witt's Little Early Risers proved to be the long sought relief. They are simply perfect. Persons tra yelling find Little Early Risers the most re- liable remedy to carry with them. Sold by R. H. Beers & Co.,, NewtOwn; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford.

MRS FERRY WISHES TO RETURN THANKS. The bee given in ald of Mrs Ann Ferry was great success. The wealth CT was all that could he desired, and a goOdly number assembled. The merry sounds coming from the ever-increasing wood-pile betokened the enthusiasm and good will that prevailed. Mrs Ferry wishes to express her most sin cere thanks for all that has been done in her behalf, not only to those who helped make the day success, but for the quantities of good things that for week or more have been coming in, which will supply her needs for the winter, and which shows the estima- tion in which she is held by her many friends in the community. May the good work continue, and we wish for our aged friend good measure of health and prosperity during the even- tide of life.
