NNYE E all have our individual hobbies,
w in books as in other matters. It
may be Henry James. or Marcus
Aurelius; there is sure to be some one
author or volume which most of the
people we know think US queer for
liking But this sort of individuality
of taste is in itself an excellent thing,
and every one might profitably keep
separate shelf, a personal nook or cor
ner, in which to isolate those few vol
umes that mean to him something more
than they mean to the rest OF his i'm
mediate world. Yet it is the book
possessing that wider appeal that keeps
1t passing from hand to hand, until
1T has completed the circuit of the
FAMILY, the reading club, the waiting
list OF the village library, that is the
sort of book likely to do the most
good. and in choosing books we can
invoke no better rule than that of the
greatest good of the greatest number.
The reading habit produces widely
different effects in different families.
With some 1t seems to be- If not an
apple Of discord, at least an intrusion,
an impalpable barrier, a promoter of
selfish silence. Father and mother,
sons and daughters. are each absorbed
in some book, in which the others have
no interest. and the evening passes
with no pleasant comparison Of opin-
ions, often with no break of the silence
beyond an occasional yawn and the
rustic of a turning page. In contrast
to this is the type of family where COM
munity of interest in the books they
read makes the discussion OF the latest
volume around the evening lamp an
even greater pleasure than the reading
of it.
1t follows that one of the most i'm
portant things TO cultivate is a com
munity of tastes, so as to keep as far
as possible upon common ground and
gradually to broaden its boundaries.
The chief actor, OF course. in devel
oping wise tastes in reading is the
judicious building up of the family
library. From the time that a child
begins to read. it is possible to ineul-
cate an interest in the family book
shelves, to give him a sense of part
ownership. to let him feel that, so
long as he treats the volumes with
a proper care, he is free to browse
among their pages. 1t is far easier to
tell how Libraries should not be formed
than it is to lay down rules for the
wise building up of a collection of
books. No ready made recipe can be
given. 1t is true that there are certain
books. perhaps as many as the pro-
verbal hundred, which every one
ought to love and wish TO own. Yet
the fact remains that there are peo-
pie In the world who do not like the
books they ought to like, here and
there a man who can not read Thack-
cray, a woman who finds no pleasure
in Dickens, an abnormal child who
scorns the magic of Grimm's Fairy
Tales" And while every educator
knows the value of inculcating a sound
habit of concentrating attention upon
the printed page before US, whether its
subject appeals to US or not, yet the
books on the family shelf, and still
more the volumes which are peculiarly
childhood books, should never be al
lowed to take on the semblance of
a task.

so named by the soldiers of the vi

and partake of the tempting viands

At Marblehead, Mass, is the site of
the Fountain tavern, the opening scene
in the well known romance of Agnes
SURFACE and Sir Harry Frankland In
olden days this tavern was the favorite
resort of sea captains and gentry and
1t is even asserted that the pirates,
who were finally captured in the streets
of Marblehead. made this place their
rendezvous.
Wayside inn, made famous by Long
fellows Tales of Wayside Inn," and
the assembly place of the soldiers after
the battle of Lexington.
In the town of Danvers, Mass is
the old Berry tavern, originally built in
1741, and still open as a public house;
while short way distant, on the old
Boxford road, stands Ferncroft inn,
one of the quaintest and most pictur-
esque old ordinaries in Essex county.
Salem, Mass, was the home of many
old taverns, among which may be men,
toned The Ship Tavern, which stood
on the site of the present Stearns
building, and was the scene of the
founding of the Social library In 1860
Near the site of the present st. Peters
church stood the old Salem coffee
house, while on Essex street nearly
opposite its present juncture with
Pleasant street, stood Thomas Beadle's
tavern, where were held the prelimi-
nary witchcraft examinations.
In Newbury, Mass, is the site of
the old Boynton tavern, kept by Enoch
Boynton. an eccentric old fellow who
could trace his lineage back, through
seventeen generations, to Sir William
Boynton, a knight privileged to stand
hated in the presence of his king. Old
Enoch was the inventor of the first silk
reel in America. He kept silkworms.
and planted for their food grove
of mulberry trees, some of which may
still be seen at the grounds OF the
old tavern.
At Stockbridge, Mass. was an old
inn, built in 1773 and situated on the
stage route from Boston TO Albany 1t
was added to from time to time, until
at the time of its destruction by fire
in 1896 it was large hotel. Another
tavern has been built on its site, which
is most interesting from the fact that
in it's public room may be found one
of the finest collections of old fash
ioned furniture, crockery and bric-a-
brac in this country.
Marlboro, N. H, was the home of the
first temperance inn, opened at time
when liquor was of prime Importance

looked upon with disfavor by the
drivers of the various stage coaches,
who were loud in their lamentations

They were assured that tea and coffee
would be served them, and the tavern
eventually became one of the most pop
ular in New England.
At Greenwich, Conn, was an old
tavern, in connection with which is a
tragic story. 1t was the old Knapp
tavern, now known as the Putnam
cottage, owing to the fact that 1t con-
tains so many mementos of General
Israel Putnam. 1t was built at the
close of the seventeenth century. and
was located on the highroad between
Boston and New York. At the time OF
the revolution this tavern was in the
possession of Israel Knapp, great
tory Near by lived Jonathan Mead,
the most fanatical whig in Greenwich.
Israel had a son, Timothy, who inner
tied his fathers politics, and Jonathan
had daughter, Persis, who was as ar
dent supporter of the patriot cause as
was her father Yet Timothy Knapp
loved Persis Mead and she loved him.
After the open breach between King
and people, the girl would not as much
as deign her sweetheart a glance, and
all his arguments to win her were OF
no avail. One day, after a heated dis
cussion, Timothy left the Mead house
in a blind rage, calling back from
the doorway, Some day, Persis, II
shall be you who will speak to me,
but 1 shall never answer" He little
thought, poor lad, that .his words were
prophecy.
He kept away for a whole week, but
1t was weary work. At length he for
titled himself with some new arguments
and with a certain blue ribbon which
had been the first gage Of love Persis
had given him, and under cover of the
darkness he sought her house.
Unfortunately, for several evenings
past small bands of cowboy ma
rauders had been annoying the towns
people. Old Jonathan had given them
fair warning that he would shoot on
sight, If he saw stragglers about his
place so when he saw Tim lettering by
the lilac bushes, his eye on Persis, in
side the window, Jonathan took down
his f1intlock and fired to scare, not tC
kill, but a sudden movement on the
part of Tim, with a view to bringing
the loved form into clearer vision
brought him into direct range, an6
Jonathan's bullet pierced his heart.
At Dedham was the Ames tavern
kept by the celebrated almanac maker
Nathaniel Ames, in 1885. A mos
unique sign hung on this tavern, which
is said to have portrayed some family
estate a suit was brought into court
This so disgusted the innkeeper that
although the suit was decided in hii
sons favor, he expressed his dislike
by causing the whole court to be
painted on a signboard for his tavern
judges portrayed they could not fail Il
be recognized. The august court heart
of the proceedings and sent a sheriff
to seize the sign.

~ ANCING should form an impor-
tant part in the education Of
children. Not only for the
symmetrical development of the
physical form but to counteract many
awkward attitudes which they too of
ten contract. The desire to move grace
fully promotes desire to be gracious
in manner
There is no place where one may
acquire physical culture, grace of
movement and courteous behavior so
effectually as at well conducted school
of dancing.
To obtain the greatest benefit chill
dren should begin lessons at an early
age, that they may acquire self-con-
troll, ease and grace of manner, and
avoid contracting slovenly manners
which may be hard to overcome after
once acquired. Parents should be eau
tious. however, in the selection of a
school, as there is no doubt that it re-
quires a teacher of acknowledged abil-
ity and experience TO impart his knowl-
ligent, comprehensive and pleasing
manner and with sufficient Judgment
together with proper discipline in order
to command the attention and promote
an interest in the work on the part of
the pupil, and avoid any feeling of dis
couragement when a movement may
seem difficult for scholar to execute.
OF course, for time. in some cases
where children enter school at an
early age. it may seem as though they
were making little progress, but the
intense desire to learn promotes obser-
vation and concentration to such a
point that they are sure to reach some
degree of proficiency. even though they
may be possessed of very little natural
talent or ability in that particular line
Dancing has many advantages over
