CARE OF BOOKS.

Marginal notes are usually superfu-
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 a
book, but keep them both level.
Do not turn a book on its face or
place any weight on an open book.
Never open a 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.
not a sharp instrument.
If any liquid be split on a book. wipe
it off at once gently with a soft cloth
or absorb it with blotting paper. Do
not dry it by fire.
Dragging a book out from the shelf
by the binding at the top is hurtful. IL
books are wedged in toe tightly in a
case they become shabby.

MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE.
The AweSome Importance and Sc
cretfve Air They Affect.


Many people assume certain man
ners as they assume certain clothe,
and change these manners more So!
dom than they change their clothes
Some think it ingratiating to be perky
Others think it more graceful to bc
dropping and melancholy. TO gaze wist
fully, walk mournfully and sit as If
before the baked meats of a funeral
feast. But of all the people who in
dulge in travesty l think / get most
amusement out of the mysterious PEG
pie.
Bated. forever bated. is the breath of
the mysterious person. Directly he
comes into the room you are conscious
of the presence of the unutterable and
know that it will speedily be uttered
into your most private ear. When he
speaks to you he takes you aside" so
that none other may know that he is
telling you that the weather is damp
and that there is a deal of influenza
about. AS he discusses with you sucL
dreadful subjects as the price of hob
nailed boots. the fluctuations of stocks
and the economics of the administra-
l4oh hCaA yOuIs, ups
pout secretively, his eyes glance round
warily to make sure that no one is
within earshot to betray him and you.

He wishes to avoid it; he wishes
kindly wretch-to save you from it al
so. Meet him halfway. 1t is such
fun to do that. He responds sensitive
ly to the slightest mysterious encour-
agement and thinks he is impressing
you and that you believe him to be a
strange and remarkable parsonage and
that you will go away and say: Glad
l met John Smith. Interesting man.
Not every day you come across a man
like that
Many women are mysterious. In
deed, / have met more mysterious
women than mysterious men,. The
mysterious woman is often small, but
her hats are large, plumed like a
hearse and generally black as night.
Pale is her face and languid her man
ner. She tries to look consumptive
and succeeds surprisingly often. AS n
rule, she has little to say, but says ii
in such an awful manner that it takes
on fictitious Importance and for the
moment appears TO be impressive.
Think over your acquaintance and
friends. Are not some of them mys-
FERROUS. and are not they highly con-
sidered? Are not they called interest
ing" on that account? There are many
spurious things in the social world.
but few things are more spurious than
that reputation for being interesting
which is gained by the mysterious
manner. And half of the world at
least is tricked, for everyday perki-
ness is called brilliance. mystery wis

DUST IS EVERYWHERE
Consequently Automobile Par
ties to the City Are Grow
ing Less in Number.
ROADS IN BAD CONDITION.

Dust, Dust, Dust, everywhere. This
is the familiar expression of the tour
ing autoists that pass through the city
each day. In many places along the
road the dust is two and three inches
thick and for this reason the automo-
bile parties are dwindling in number.
One of the automobilists that passed
through the city earlier in the season
states that travelling was good then,
but now with the heavy dust, motoring
has lost it's charm to some degree.
Farmers are not the only people hop
ing for rain. The touring cars skid as
much in the dust as they do in mud SO
that the travel is very slow now. The
slight pleasure of riding in a cloud of
dust is known to every person who
has ever had the experience.

Got 1t From Greece.
Did modern football. the Rugby
game, travel to England from the Italy
of the renaissance and does its his
tory reach back to ancient Greece? A
recent writer says: Probably not more
than a few votaries of Rugby football
are aware that we have to thank Flor
entine athletes for the invention Of the
game and for its introduction into
Great Britain. Rugby school was
founded somewhere about 1867. 1t was
one Of the direct results of what has
been called the Florentine or Tuscan
fever in England which set in late in
the Italian renaissance. Not only did
men Of letters come over and settle in
Englands centers Of learning and ere
ate others, but many F1orentines vers-
ed in the theory and practice of polite
culture came as well. The game of ii
CALICO came to Florence by way of
Greece Something of the sort had fig
ured among the less important games
ut Olympia. The principal Florentine
ground was the Piazza di Santa Croce,
where upon the wall of the PalazZo
Giulio Parrigi is still to be seen the disk
from which the line dividing the
ground vas drawn across the open
square. The ball was of leather, con-
tanning ALI inflated bladder, andNappar-
emily was the exact size, weight and
shape of the Rugby ball of today.
al CALICO consisted of a friendly con-
wv Cins Of v,iav-
ers called schiera azzura and schiera
rossa-blues and reds. The number of
players varied according to the size of
the ground or the Importance of the en-
counter. In the Piazza di Santa Croce
the sides were twenty to twenty-seven
strong, while on the public open sports
ground at Peretola they totaled as
many as sixty each. Originally the
players were required to be of noble or
gentle blood or such as had gained dis
tinction and rank in the profession of
arms. Each man had to be of unblem-
ished reputation and Of graceful figure
and possessed of accomplished man
ners.
In addition to the actual players
were presidents. standard bearers,
judges, an umpire, pages and other
officials, all without reproach, worthy
of the city and courteous in manner.
The costumes of the players were
tight fitting drawers and tunfcs of
silk, with feathered caps, all richly
! embroidered in gold and silver. Leather
shoes were worn. The teams were di-
vided into four classes: Forwards.
whose places were near the dividing
line and whose work was to keep the
ball in play; halfbacks, stationed be.
hind the, forwards, in order to return
the ball to play; three-quarter backs,
who were strong kickers and played
straight ON the ball, and goal keepers
placed at the fiags, or boundary, to
stop the ball passing"
