not only high minded judge, watch
full of the dignity and standing of the
court, but a good citizen. He first of
all, has stepped forward and done
what every citizen should have done
and should be doing. He has heark-

shown himself ready to sacrifice his
most valued position, if necessary,
his position on the supreme bench,
that the honor of the court may be
maintained unimpaired.

PUSH BETTER THAN PULL.
Fact That Has Been Demonstrated
in the Customs Of Various
Races.

Queer as it may seem, the relative
value OF push and Of pull is plain fact
Of nature. If anybody doubts it, let him
: consider the following details, in which

tween the Asiatic and the European

as the English gardener does, but pulls
II toward him. The carpenter saving
| wood does not drive the saw, but pulls
it, in token of which fact the teeth of an
Indian saw are set in the opposite way
from those of an English saw. Even
when the Indian workman has been in
duced to adopt the labor-saving ma
chinery introduced from Europe he
shows a strange perversity in sacrifice
ing part of the benefit through his habit
of preferring to pull rather than to
push.
Thus, In turning wheel, as in rails
ing water from a well or working n
crane, instead Of pushing the handle
down and so getting the benefit of the
weight of his body, he pulls II up, and
so sacrifices that natural advantage.
For the same reason the wheelbarrow
has never become naturalized in India,
although specially suited for a coun-
try where roads are still comparatively
few but footpaths abound. The Indian
drill works in the opposite direction
from the European bit and brace. ami
the pot is stirred not from left 10 right,
as in the west, but from right to left.

The Care of Books.

The following little helpful "Nevers"
should be framed and hung up in every
library:
Never cut bread on a valuable book.
1t is likely to iniure the binding.
Never use your spectacles or false
teeth for book mark. You will never
know where they are, besides, it in
lures the book.
Never cut the leaves of a book with
the carving knife until you have first
wiped it clean.
Never cut leaves with any sharp
knife, Use q safety razor.
Never turn leaves with your thumb,
A pair Of small tongs, snch as come
with boxes of n-bons, is the best
thing to use
Never put hot iron on an open
book, unless it is Roycroft book, in
which case the typography will be like
ly to improve its appearance.
Never throw a book at the cook I'M
