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 q
book, but keep them both level.
Do not turn book on its face or
place any weight on an open book.
Never open 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 books.

POISONING THE RIVERS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


In olden and in modern times it was
always considered most heinous
crime to poison q we'll In the ages
when all others WED with each other
in prosecuting Jews and Gypsies these
unfortunates We're ever accused of
having poisoned wells, and then the
persecution and the cruelty was re-
doubled. We of today would rise In
righteous indignation and in all like
li1ood Judge Lynch would again hold
court in Iowa ii cases of poisoning of
wells or cisterns were reported here
now.
And yet we are doing the very same
thing on a much larger scale. The
Mississippi river is the we'll from
which hundreds of thousands of people
who dwell upon its banks draw their
water supply. And yet every city on
the river empties it's sewage and
dumps all sorts of offal and filth into
the stream. The cities above Burling-
ton are as surely poisoning our we'll
as we are helping to poison the we'll
of those who live farther down the
stream. And strange to relate, no one
attaches particular significance to that
fact If some halfycrazei boor were to
poison a neighbours we'll causing sick
ness or death in his family, we would
clamor for the murderer's life and we
should not rest content if we permitted
the law to take it's course, until the
dead had been avenged.
And yet we turn deaf ear to the
people who warn US against the evil
that we are committing and the dan
ger that turks in it's train. We cannot
so on indefinitely, poisoning the well,
which supplies the jewellers in the riv-
er cities. There must be halt called
somewhere, and soon. Or the grim
specter that threw Hamburg into con-
vulsions and swept away many thou
sands of her citizens will float up the
broad valley and it will leave death
and desolation behind. We can not
poison our neighbours we'll without
sooner or later ourselves being pun
ished therefor.

PRAYERS AND PRAYING.


We don't wonder that the church of
England had their brightest churchmen
write prayers, to be recited in lieu of
impromptu things. This is to be said
Of them. they We're written lin good
taste, and they have such range that
all occasions are provided for. and ev-
cry emotion of the heart is properly
and adequately expressed.
Henry Van Dyke tried to get the
Presbyterian assembly last week to
adopt formula of prayer. He is a
poet, and no doubt his fine literary
tastes have been outraged by Doors In
prayers, and such outlandish things
crate on his sensitive soul. We do not
blame him. But some lnan-and there
is always a man in such an assembly
who has the art of putting things and
making dilettantism lock ridiculous =
dubbed such prayers as Henry wanted
Canned prayers" They cooked the
scheme, though Van, backed by Judge
Harlan, of the United States supreme
bench, worked hard to turn back the
fatal laugh. When the thing is covered
with ridicule by some master like
Voltaire. Rabelais or Bob Ingersoll the
jig is up. Nothing mildews like
laugh of ridicule and satire. SO the
whole matter was put over to n hoped
for luckier time. The liturgy suggested
was not only Canned prayers" but
something as unpalatable to that as
se1nbly as "embalmed beef was to the
soldiers and sailors of the Spanish war.
A congregation should be protected
from long winded and irrelevant
prayers of bad taste. If they were ele-
CANT and pleasing. even if affected, it
might be different. When Edward
Everett, the scholarly Unitarian.
preached in Boston, the wits said "he
put up the most eloquent prayers ever
addressed to a Boston audience" There
was no kick coming in that case. His
teaching is that when a. man really
wants to come to grips with God he
will naturally go into privacy and
wrestle with a spirit there in secret,
much, we suppose, as an impassioned
lover, when he means 10 propose to a
girl and urge his suit with warmth
and yehemence, seeks her alone, and
doese not want her mischievous little
brother around to smoker and chuekle
audibly, or her mother, or father, or
big brother, to glue their eye or ear
to the keyhole.
We heard man pray in one of our
churches Sunday morning. who got Of
to the Lord. and ircident~n-- - ~
audience, a theological treatise OF
about 500 pages. The congregation
were standing, and before he said
"Amen'' every one needed another pair
of legs under them to keep them from
dropping. If we could have been quad
rupeds, down on all four, it would have
been easier to wait TIL this human
Waterbury watch had run down. What
a handspring he had!
A man who can't strike oil, in prayer,
in five minutes at most, would better
go into some other business. He is not
gifted in prayer sure; he has no genius
for edifying and uplifting prayer. He
can break backs in the congregation
but he cannot put wings on the Wor-
Slippers.
