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 Ii
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 a library 1t 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. 1t 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 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

AN UNKINGLY KING.
:..s...s**....-.*.:..:.*~*.......


The king Of beasts" declares writ
er upon the lions Of Africa in the Met
ropolitan Magazine, Is an unmitigated
nuisance. The stockowner loathes him
for the havoc he causes among the
herds. There is no security against
him. He is always travelling. A pair
Of lions may find spot where game
Is easily obtainable, and make consid-
cradle stay there, but their real home is
the whole weld.
If the lion slew only as much as he
could eat, he would be less hateful but
he will often kill four or five oxen, and
content himself with devouring only the
entrails of one.
He Is a low, crafty brute, one that
takes no risks, for, unlike the leopard,
he will never leap wall unless he can
see what Is on the other side. A paper
fence would keep him away from a
herd of cattle, provided they did not
break out through terror Of his growl-
ing and his smell.
The lions roar is the subject Of an
other fiction; not that he is incapable
Of making the most terrible, awe-in-
spring sound emitted by any living
thing, but because when he Is roaring
he is harmless. 1t is the lion which
keeps quiet that is to be feared, for as
rule the male and female work in
couples, and the one that makes the
noise Is merely driving the game down
the wind to the silent partner.
In a single respect only-on the
score of strength-does the lion de-
serve his name of king Of beasts" He
can drag large bullock over rough
ground with the greatest ease; he can
carry a mule on his back, after hoist
ing it there by some strange sideways
Jerk of his head; he can leap five-foot
fence with a full-sized donkey gripped
In his mouth. Otherwise, speaking
from seven years experience in the
lion country, have no hesitation in
describing the king Of beasts as fraud
at least so far as his alleged nobility
is concerned.
His regal attributes lose some Of
their glamour when one learns that the
so-called monarch frequently lives for
days at time on such plebeian food
as field rats and the vision Of the
kingly creature sitting patiently on a
fat rock waiting for the rats to come
out from underneath is rather un-
heroic one.

Bread made from banana flour is
common enough in Europe and Eng

rheumatism, gout and all liver affec-
tions. When lying at the point of death

flour mixed with milk was the only

secret of the banana as health and
