CARE OF BOOKS.

Marginal notes are usually superhu-
Gus and undesirable.
Corners should not be turned down
or leaves folded in halves.
Exposing books to heat or strong
sunlight warps the binding.
Never bend back the covers OF a
book. but keep them both level.
Do not turn a book on Its face or
Mace any weight on an open book.
Never open a large book from the
ends or cover, but from the center.
Bookcases should not be placed
against outside walls on account OF the
probable dampness.
A blunt knife Of ivory, wood or metal
should be used for cutting new DOCKS
not a sharp instrument
If any liquid be split on book wipe
il off at once gently with soft ciotl
or absorb It with blotting paper DC
not dry 1t by fire,
Dragging q book out from the shell
by the binding at the top is~hurtful Il
books are wedged in too tightly IN
case they become shabby.

KEEP YOUR HEAD.
How One Woman Lost Her Temper
md Her Art Treasures.

and Her Art Treasures.
Apropos Of the woman with the abii-
ity TO plan q big coup and who then
loses It and her head at the last
moment IN auctioneer In New YORK
tells an interesting story. The woman
was an American who had been living
abroad with her husband for many
years Upon his death she returned,
bringing with her large collection OF
valuable paintings which had been his
nroperty and which she hoped to sell.
She made arrangements with the auc-
t,oneer TO handle them for her. and he
WAS delighted with the cleverness with
which she had obtained vouchers FOR
each one. 1t showed enterprise ana
thoroughness seldom found In men or
women and made 1t certain that the
pictures. which were really good ones
would bring good prices.
To every one living who had been III
any way connected with the pictures
owned them or handled them the WON
an had gone for written guarantee,
and. in addition to the names obtained
in this way, she had been to the Amer
lean consul. and he In his turn had
guaranteed their signatures. They
were all sworn to and duly witnessed
and the auctioneer congratulated the
woman.
That was all right until Uncle Sam
stepped In. The custom house authori'
ties. though unable to obtain possession
of the guarantees, appreciated the pic
tures. estimated them to be worth theiI
full value as understood by the owner
and put duties upon them entirely be
yond the woman's power to pay. she
was greatly distressed at first, then an
moved and finally furiously angry al
what she considered an imposition
The auctioneer endeavored to console
her.
"They will be sold for little or moth
ing at the custom house SALE" he said
land the best thing to do Is to buy
them In. They will go for $40 or $l5
apiece and we will have the sale after
all. I will buy them In for you. and
we will both make a pot Of money out
Of them"
But by that time the woman was tot
angry to listen to advice. She consld
cred that she had been badly treated
If the custom house wished to keep hel
pictures from her. very well. they
might have them. She tore up The
guarantees, the pictures were sold FOL

Niusfnche YersuH Music.

Anton Rublnstein had this to say IN
reference to women artists:
81 think ladies ought never to study
music as an art At least they ought
not to take up the time Of teachers who
are able to teach and make true artists.
And l will tell you why. There Is no
question but there are twenty musical
ladies to one musical man, and my own
experience Is that they learn more
quickly, have more poetry and, In fact.
are more diligent pupils than men. But
what Is the invariable result? When
a young lady has become perfect art
ist some handsome mustache comes
along, ana she chooses the handsome
mustache in preference to art"

Woke the Judge.

The Westminster Gazette relates that
an action was being tried before Lord
Coleridge for damages for the death OF

the dog had had his day" and that
damages should be nominal. Lord Cole
ridge, however, was sweetly slumber-

rousing him, If possible. So, gradual
Iy raising his voice, he asked one OF

MEN AND WOMEN.
Nearly Every Human Quality Is Un-
like In the Sexes.


"a man Is man down to his
thumbs, and woman is a woman
down to her little toes" writes DIR.
Havelock Ellis in his book Men and
Women" There is hardly meaSur-
able quality of any sort which is not
unlike In the two sexes. Women even
button their garments on the other
side from that chosen by men and
choose Sunday instead of Monday as
their favorite day for making way
with themselves. So far as laboratory
tests go DIR. Ellis says that women are
unquestionably superior In general
tactic sensibillty and probably SUI
perior In the discrimination of tastes,
with no advantage either way In the
case Of the other senses. Women have
better memories, read more rapidly,
bear pain better, recover better from
wounds and serious illness, are less
changed by old age and live longer
Furthermore, according to the same
authority, women have relatively
larger brains, especially in the frontal
region. 1t has long been said that
women are the more like children, but
DR.. Ellis says that men are the more
like apes. Women in short. are more
civilized than men, and civilization IL
self Is but the process of making the
world ladylike. In fact, the only thing
left in which man is superior Is mus
che. Men are two, three and even four
times stronger than women, and the
occasional exceptional woman hardly
reaches the level Of the average man.
Even between the ages Of eleven ana
fifteen, when girls are taller and
heavier. boys still retain their single
advantage in strength. Men, too, II
slower Of mind and quicker of body,
have greater lung capacity and more
blood corpuscles and exhale nearly
twice as much carbon dioxide. But
men are less able TO endure confne-
ment and bad air. This physical SUI
perlority man shares with the males
Of all the higher animals.

BULWER'S ODDITIES.
The Fight the Author Made Against
Signs of Old Age.

Bulwer's appearance was decidedly
what is generally understood by "arls-
tocratic" or what the French call dis
tingue." Tall, slim, with finely cut
features, prominent among which was
q long aquiline nose, with an abundant
crop Of curly brown hair and a full
beard, the first impression he pro
duced. aided by q careful toilet, was
one Of ease and elegance. At a din-
ner table, where ne liked to speak,
and. If possible, to speak alone, he was
certainly useful as well as ornamental
with his large blue ribbon and star OF
the Order of the Bath. There was d
certain naivete, strange as that woru
may sound when applied to so confirm
cd n man of the world, in his vain ana
very apparent struggle against the II
resistible encroachment Of age. lie
did not give in with that philosophical
resignation which might have been ex-
nected Of one so clever and In some re-
spects SO wise. He fought against IL
tooth and nail. Lord Lytton's mar
seemed dyed, and his face looked as

him. He was radiant one autumn on
his return to town because he thought
he was cured, but not for long. Inc
copious use Of snuff was no doubt
part of the attempted cure, OF when
the most palpable results were large
