he was missed fears were felt for lis
safety. Searching parties went out

Pictorial Scrap-B Books.

The twentieth century has wit
messed immense strides in pictorial art.
Beautiful reproductions Of great paint
ings are given in exquisite color and
tone. Photography has reached
amazing and singular delicacy, and the
rlainest cottage in the land may be
adorned with pictures at the cost of an
outlay that the slenderest purse can
afford.
Whoever wishes may keep, for
friends and children, in scrap-books
that will fit into the shelves of the
home library, a complete pictorial his
tory of our thrilling and absorbing
period. All the magnificent command
ers of the day, the men who have con-
| Quoted the titanic struggle on sea and
land in the far east, the great diplo-
mats, the astute statesmen, the cap
tains, kings and queens; the repub-
hes modest men who take the helm,
stepping from civil life at the country's
call and quietly returning to the ranks
when their tasks are done; all the fore
most men and the foremost women,
too, of our country will be in a portrait
gallery cut from the weekly, monthly
or daily press.
Splendid buildings, too. triumphs OF
modern architecture, enchanting gar
iens, foaming torrents, mountain
passes, picturesque ravines, scenes Of
battles and siege, are depicted in finest
art with deftest touch in the papers
and may and should be saved for the
freside and the family group by the
simple method Of the scrap-book.

First Mono Railway.

On the Coney island meadows there
still stands sections of the structure
of the first single rail system built in
this country, which was to convey hol-
iday seekers to the seashore at the
rate of a mile a minute. In Chestnut,
England, there are still standing some
traces Of a single track road which wes
built in 1926 and which was in use for
a time. The principles upon which the
road was built did. not largely differ
from the methods now being tried in
various parts of Europe, and it is re-
corded that a single horse could draw
seven loaded cars along the line. 1t is
curious that in spite Of the success OF
this pioneer line no great development
should have been made since then.

But II Is Not Scholarly,

For scholarship requires a predeter-
mined motive and a certain skill, and
e. carefully followed plan. Why are
you desirous of preserving from loss
the useful items and the entertaining
episodes that make up the current his
tory OF humanity in your time? Why
save from forgetfulness a chronicle of
life's passing show?
If you are by way Of taking part In
debates, or making speeches at politi-
cal meetings, it is needful for you to
reinforce memory by s%easonable illus
trations, the papers are full of them
Personal character was never so widely
exploited as now. Our great men stand
where a lime-light of publicity is for
ever flashed upon their smallest ac-
lions, The world moves on at a pace
so rapid that electricity is it's only
parallel.
The scholarly and the convenient
way is to know what you want and to
pursue it according to routine. Under
separate captions, arranged either top
ically or alphabetically, paste what
ever of value you sift from the daily
news, that is your wheat. For You
the residue is chaff. Or it is your
gold, and the remainder, for your pur-
poses, is dross. Discriminate, decide
what impresses you, and why, and put
aside your material for future use.
Index your scrap-book, and then
without a moments unnecessary delay
you can turn to what you are searching
for.
Where does a certain popular pastor
procure so many fitting stories, allus-
ions, and anecdotes? The question
was asked by a person who seemed u
fancy that the clergyman evolved then
from his inner consciousness. | could
have replied that he had the usefu'
habit of the orderly scrap-book, from
which on occasion he brought forth
things new and old.

The king looked at his oily-tongued
servant long and suspiciously, but
such was the confidence placed in him
and so great was his influence over
the royal mind that Louis finally with
drew his gaze, and muttering, Il must

name." he seized a pen, and taking up
the unsigned commission before him,
i~nterpolated a few words and bur-

AS to the injustice to your father, be-
lieve me, Louis, who loves to be called

beavers in the new world and reward
them tenfold, making up to the son in
some measure the wrong suffered by
the father at my hands. Go, and may
success be yours, and let it be known
that he who opposes you strikes at the
king
Tonti received his commission in 81

the royal hand, left the room. La

lengthy document. Colbert called to
him his secretary. He was the Comte

his ear: did you see that mar who

nodded. Kill me him within "a

other door.
Meanwhile Tonti waited for his
friend in the Grand Sale. Not more
than 20 people remained, chiefly gath

end of the room. He Joined them, and
