Reading is what opens the way
into the various departments oil
science and literature. Among
the civilized people today reading
is the most important art. By
knowing how to read we know
ourselves and our fellow crea.
lures. We know what others are
doing, what is going on between
the different nations, in short,
what is passing on about us
Reading may be useful in differ
ent ways. Take person who

The chief objects people should
seek when reading are something
instructive and also some for
amusement. We should try to
select good reading. Ia the best
books great men talk and give
their best thoughts. Each writ
er has his own way and manner
Of writing. therefore we ought to
make a selection from a number
of authors.
Our reading should have some
worthy aim in view; we should
have some method to go by.
Some make up their minds to
read so much each year so they
say: l have read this many

Novels are the books most com.

set forth in a tempting and fine

they may be interesting and

Don Jaime has ceased to be prince de

title for Spain. but 1t will probably be Charles

His claim to the throne Of France is based
upon the fact that he is a direct descendant OF
King Louis XIV. In other words. he repre-
sents the old Bourbon legitimist line. You
are aware that the story about the of
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette having
capped the prison of the temple and having
lived in Holland under the name of Nordorf.
and of his having left heirs is pure invention.
But no one questions the historic claim of
our king. His majesty's claim to the throne
of Spain is based upon the Salic law. Don

BEE FARM ON CITY ROOF.

Reading. Pa. has bee farm" so situated
that 80 per cent. OF the people in that part of
town even do not know of its presence. To
the busy bees all roads seem to lead to this
place. for they can fly so feet up in the air
and still be able to reach their home, without
coming in contact with humanity At the
foot of Neversink mountain. in the northwest
ern section of the city. lives Julius Wagner.
On the roof of his house many bee hives.
Under the window sills are number of holes
leading to a garret room where there are
many more hives and where millions of busy
little workers come and ED day by day. bring
ing each time a little honey from some clover
field. some tree that is in bloom from other
sources. thus helping Julius Wagner to con
duct the most successful and novel apiary In
Berks county.
Mr.. Wagner made his start in Reading in
1867 with one hive. according to the Phila

INTERESTED IN WEST.
Meat Supply Of the Future Must Como
From Intermountain Country.

The great interest being taken by
the cattle interests of the country in
the coming National Western Stock
Show to be held in Denver during tho
week of January SIS, Is largely duo
to the fact that the country is just
commencing to realize that the future
beef supply of the country must como
from the West. The West has tho
only available pasture lands left. In
the corn states of the Middle West.
where heretofore the bulk of the beef
has been produced. the growing de-
mand for wheat and corn has resulted
in the breaking up of thousands OF
acres of pasture lands and cropping
them to grain. On top of this tho
great influx of settlers to the West
has almost driven the range cattle
man out of the business and as n result
the country is confronted by short
age OF cattle. The West must he en-
couragcd to grow cattle and the Ma
tional Stock Show at Denver provides
the method Of starting tho work. The
National Record Associations Of the
four principal beef breeds. the Short
horn, Hereford. hberdccn-AnEus and
Galloway, have arranged to have
number of their best and most repre-
sentative herds on exhibition at the
show and each of the associations will
put up fifty head of bulls and hcifers
selected by n committee from the lead
ing herds. These will Ec sold 4 pub
lie sale for whatever they will br
to western breeders in order to intro
ducn the pure bloc into the western
country.
The new farmers coming into the
West have not been taking hold OF tho
live stock business for two reasons.
First. few of them are financially able
to buy a foundation herd and many OF
them have no knowledge OF the busi-
ness. II Is expected that plans will be
made to finance some Of the new
farmers who desire TO start in cattle
growing. and educational work will bo
conducted through the big show. At
both the show and conventions in Den
yer. the cattle supply will be the prin-
cipal subject discussed. a special
train load OF feeder buyers from the
East are coming to the show for the
purpose OF purchasing the car loads OF
fine stock cattle that will be on cNhi-
bition and incidentally to show tho
profit there Is In the business.

Since his fathers followers have pro-
claimed Don Jaime their chief the Carlsts
have taken on n new life and under exist
ing conditions in the peninsula he may soon
find himself seated on the throne for which
his father and his grandfather vainly took the
field. 1t is interesting to note in this connec-

the Carlist society of Paris. offered n dukedom

Rswager Queen Christina. For, while Don
Nlme has a qualified admiration for her post

contempt for the intriguing eSnun who pre-
vented his sisters from marrying Austrian
archdukes. At Biarrtz he has frequently been
within speaking distance of his cousin. King
Alfonso. though they have never exchanged
words.
Don Jaime is the hero of novel, OF which
the villain is the Due d'Albe and the heroine
n well-known Washington belle. He is an off,
Ger of the Russian army and has seen active
service in Manchuria. He has the reputation
of being well versed In the science of war and
of not knowing fear.
He looks upon the Due d'Orleans as a
visionary and speaks of the Napoleonic
princes with contempt. The platonic Orlean-
lists, who merely get up banquets and clink
glasses he contrasts with the fighting Carl
ists who have twice taken the field and are
ready to do again. He has more Bourbon
blood in his veins than any man living. for he
is a Bourbon from both sides of the house. his
