The End of Books.

What brings about the end Of books
Is it fire, water, worms? AS every
ship launched is bound to be wrecked,
every theater to be burned, the finis of
the book is its reduction to ashes.
What became of the Alexandrian IL
brary? Did the Saracens burn it in
GAO? There is this question asked !:
Was there any library at Alexandria
containing 100000 books? Gibbon in
clines to the opinion that there was no
such library. Canon Taylor insists
that if there had been library it was
burned in the time of julius Caesar.
Tradition seems to indicate, however,
that there was library in the sera-
peum, by no means large collection,
but whether destroyed by Theophilus
or Theodosius is not known. It looks
as if the charge brought against the
Arabs rested on no foundation. Explo-
rations OF Alexandria in 1886 show
no traces Of the serapeum. The sea-
port of Egypt was built on a damp
foundation, and granting that there
was a library, if not destroyed by fire,
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due b. water. Books of
to-day taken to India, to the Southern
States and to the West Indies perish
through mildew.

Bread made from banana flour is
common enough in Europe and Eng
land. One pound is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was firm believer
in the banana. He went SO far as to
advise that its consumption would cure
rheumatism, gout and all liver affec-
tions. When lying at the point of death
from gastritis light Cruel of. banana
flour mixed with milk was the only
food he could retain and digest. The
secret of the banana as a health and
strength producing food lies in its high
percentage of proteids and the great
number of its calories, respectively 20
and 391.71. 1t is perfectly balanced

ed with milk and sugar.-New York

In Good season.

In a place in New Jersey the town
officers had just put some fire-extin-
guishers in their big buildings. One
day one of the buildings caught fire,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
and the extinguishers failed to do their
work.
A few days later at the town meet
ing some citizens tried to learn the rea-
son.
After they had freely discussed the
subject, one of them said, "Mr. Chair
man, | make a motion that the dre-ex
tinguishers be examined ten days be
fore every fire."

Hash.

Hash.
The turkey now we finish
In name to abash;
With phi!osophic musing

What now remains but hash?
When great opposing nations
In mortal combat clash
The stated world discovers
The dove Of peace is hash.

Remembering that none can be perfect
Unless they use HOLSTERS Rocky
