READERS ARE OF MANY KINDS
Differ in Taste as Widely as Do tho
 Books They Read.

Who has the haj't of good reading and the appetite fer it will read what suits his appetite if he can get it, writes E. s. Martin in Harpers The trouble is that the appetite is net oftener formed. If you are to make a silk purse, you must have the silk. You can not make reader of good books out of any human material that comes along. You must catch a mind proper for the job Not all good minds are adapted to much reading You find very able people who read few books, and mostly trash, and people of less ability who read more, and much better ones. You find also inter- esting differences in the facility with which different people take in tho sense of printed words. Some people from childhood read very much faster and with less effort than others. Their eyes seem to connect quicker with their brains. and their perception of words and rows of words is almost instantaneous. Other people never en- tirely get past the need of pro nouncing mentally, each word.

WHAT DAVIS COST SOUTH.

 What Davis Has Cost the South
 The following from the Mem phis Commercial Appeal is in reality an eye-opener and should certainly be read by the people :
 Arkansas might as well know that while Senator Jeff Davis has beeen cock-crowing it over the state building political fences, the entire south has been made to suffer because of his ab- sence from Washington.
 Senatr Davis, member of senator Fulton's committee on war claims. Almost as soon as the senator from Arkansas ab- scented himself from ashington this committee assembled to pass upon the question of allowing payment for southern churches school houses ana ether ciCcs- n'nsynary institutions i, stint- ed by the Federal army. The vote was close. so close, in fact that had Davis been in his seat and voted with the Democrats and those Republicans inclined to be generous and just to the south, every claim of this sort allowed by the court of claims would have been included in the committees report But Davis was absent. The other side thus carried the day, and instead of including all of the church and school claims. the committee re- ported only few of them. these few being where the church or school house destroyed had been actually used by the army.
 The difference is most mater- lal, as under this decision large number of these institutions will lall to come in under the apprO- pflatlon measures, unless the senate report is amended.
 It is just this sort of thing Ihat should warn the people a. gainst senators who show more interest in local politics than in the duties of the office given them, and II any of the schools and churches of the south are ieit out or the present appro- prlatlon Dill, in very large measure the loss will be due to | Senator Davis fondness for To- cal politics
