READ A GOOD BOOK OFTEN.


Hut Let the Intervals Between Rcad-
inEs lie Fairly Long.
So great has been the affection of
readers for the books that have given
them delight that literature Is full of
proofs OF gratitude toward noble books.
There have been countless comparisons
and metaphors used to make clear the
relation between the book and the
render. Perhaps the most original was
hit upon by Colcridge, who compares
an excellent book to well chosen and
well tended fruit tree. He says, I'VE
may reeur to II year after year, and it
Will supply the same nourishment and
the same qualification IL only we our
selves return to 1t with the same health
full appetite" But, though his smile
pleases the fancy, it does not quite
sntisfy the Judgment. While the fruit
of tree must yield much the same
flavor always. the qualification we ex-
pcrience from reading must always
differ according to the condition of
mind of him who reads. 1t has been
said TINT II traveller can bring home
only what he takes with him. which
means TINT the pleasure derived from
travelling Is entirely dependent upon
the capacity of the travellers mind.
Ones taste mny change and ones abil-
lty to understand and appreciate is con
stantly changing. all of which points
the moral That II is nm excellent thing
to read good book often. provided the
intervals between readings are fairly

BOER TOBACCO.
Natives Use 1t, but 1t Is Too Much
For White Men.

Natives Use 1t, but 1t Is Too Much
For White Men.
After Transvaal tobacco, but a long
way after, comes Boer. TIE name is in
reality nowadays a misnOmer, for this
tobacco is grown largely in Natal and
Cape Colony. 1t is also cultivated in
the Orange River Colony, is sold by the
roll and can be obtained for about IS a
pound if a whole roll is purchased. 1t
is also sold by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they use it to reward the Kaffir serv-
ants for working overtime or doing any
other meritorious action. The taste for
Transvaal tobacco is an acquired one
1t also takes a certain time before q
man gets used to the scent. No white
man who has come from distance has
so far lived long enough to acquire q
liking for either the taste or the smell,
natives, and it is also useful If you
have an undesirable visitor whom you
are anxious to get rid Of. Offer him a
pipe Of Boer tobacco, and he will never
enter your house again.
The traders purchase this weed large
ly. They also use it upon the natives
in the shape of presents, as every KAT
fir who makes a purchase in country
store always asks for free gift, and
the competition to secure the native
trade is so acute that the reUueSt can
not be refused.-South Africa.

err Than Wait For 1t.
1t is a dangerous thing to wait for
opportunities until it becomes a habit
Energy and inclination for hard work
ooze out in the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for it. 1t is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances, that sees
them
Some people become so opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where they would pass through a gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious-while others will find opportuni>
ties in the most barren and out of the
way places. Bunyan found opportu-
nifty in Bedford Jail to write the great
est allegory in the world on the I'M
twisted paper that had been used to
cork his bottles of milk. A Theodore
Parker or a Lucy Stone sees an oppor-
tunity to go to college in a chance to
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition in chance to chop
wood, wait on table or run errands,
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees an opportunity to get an edu-
cation in the odds and ends of time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away.-O. S. Marden in

LOSS ESTIMATED TO BE 2,0O0,0OO
BUSHELS BY DEPUTY IN
SPEcTOR KING.
In No Place is the Damage Excessive
Heat Had Little Effect on
Fall Wheat.

Damage to crops in Eastern Wash
ington by the hot wave of last week
are estimated at 100000 bushels
This is the estimate of Deputy Grain
Inspector King at Tacoma after he had
received reports from nearly every
county on the east side of the noun
tains.
Letters received by Acting Inspector
King from Columbia Whitman and
Garfield Counties, show that the crop
in those sections is in much better
condition than was expected. In some
of the fields the spring wheat was not
damaged at all and very few cases are
reported where the damage was ex-
cessive.
Fall wheat is i prime condition. The
heat had very little effect on it, as the
grain was too far advanced. Weight
tests indicate that the crop will run
from So to 81 pounds.
Although the shortage will not be
more than 6 per cent on the total crop,
it will amount to about 10000 BUSH
els. Since the last reports were re-
ceived, the total crop is estimated at
approximately 100000 bushels. Ear
lier in the season the estimate was
from 10000 to 100000 bushels.
1t is believed that a much larger
per cent of this seasons crop will be
shipped by way of Pacific Coast ports
than was the case last year. A short
crop in the East caused a demand
from that section on the Western
wheat market for about 100000
bushels, which was shipped East by
rail. This year the Eastern crop is
in fairly good condition and there will
not be the same urgent demand. Con-
sequently the wheat men will not be
in a position to pay the rail freight
from the Pacific Coast to the East,
and the largest part of the shipments
will be by water.
