Books and Their Cara,


Books on shelves may be seriously
injured If packed too tightly. When
quickly pulled out for USE the top of
the book is likely to come off. More
over, the constant pressure, if too
great, will loosen the whole back in
time and the friction in putting upon
and taking from the shelf mars the
covers. On the other hand, a reason
able amount of lateral pressure is
necessary. If placed on the shelves
too loosely the leaves tend to ,pen
and admit dust. dampness and conse-
quent mildew. In the case of heavy
volumes the weight of the leaves will
be found resting on the shelves if the
books are placed too loosely. This is
likely to make the backs concave.
Badly painted shelves are another
source of injury to books. Care should
be taken when paint or varnish is used
that the surface is perfectly smooth,
hard and dry when the books are put
in place and that the surface will re-
main so during variation of temporal
ture or humidity.-House Beautiful.

Hit Him Coming and ooino.

d An attorney went 10 u livery stable
and hired team for two or three
hours and at the end of that time. in
a state Of observation-disclosures, left the
team at another livery stable. where
it remained eight days. At stable No.
I there was no worry about the team.
They knew the attorney was perfectly
good for the pay. They knew that il
he kept the team month the bill
would be paid promptly on presenta-
ton. They presumed that he knew
what be was about and concluded it
was his business and not theirs. At
stable No. 2 there was equal freedom
from anxiety. The attorney came
there. left the team and went away,
saying nothing. They put the horse
into stall and "chalked it down" on
the office slate. knowing him to be a
business man who paid cash. Discov
cry came at last. and the lawyer was
presented with two bills, one for eight
days hire and the other for eight days
keep. He paid both bills promptly
but it cured him Of being absentmind

Milwaukee, Nov. 10.---The Social

An Anecdote of Pope,

There is an old anecdote of AleXan-
der Pope concerning one of the old
watermen who were employed for
many years in rowing Pope on the
Thames. Pope was in the habit of
having his sedan chair lifted into the
punt. If the weather was fine he let
down the glasses; if cold he pulled
them up. He would sometimes say to
the waterman:
John. l am going to repeat some
verses. Take care to remember them
the next time go OUT
When that time came Pope would
say:
John. where are the verses I told
you off,
Il have forgotten them. SIR
John. you are blockhead. l must
write them down for YOU"
John said that no one thought of
saying when speaking of him, Mr.
Pope" but that he was always called
''Mr. Alexander" d

Little Pitchers.

In q certain small town there are
two young women whose favOrite &C.
cupation has been to discuss the af-
fairs of their neighbors. Having met
for that purpose one afternoon. they
found themselves blocked in the in
diligence of their pastime by the pres
ence Of the small daughter of the
hostess. A slight indisposition Of
some sort prevented sending the child
out Of doors. so they We're forced to
put up with her presence. doing their
best. however. to nullify it.
Something eatable was produced and
an absorbing new game invented
which she could play quite by herself,
so they hreathed freely and began.
The talk at length reached a point
involving the latest scandal Of the
neighborhood and the retailing of
some inside information which must
not become public property. a hurried
look at the child on the floor found
her apparently so occupied with her
game that it seemed quite safe to go
on if one observed decent discretion.
Voices were accordingly lowered and
direct allusion yelled. but when the
matter had been thrashed out to their
satisfaction the child raised her eyes
and remarked with deliberation and
emphasis:
II hear. I know. understand, and
I'll blab!"-New York Times.

This story is told in Robert Fl. Sher

"A granddaughter of Wordsworth

The tendency to correct all creation

The man who gets into fever on

beseeching it is because, while our
voice mutters words of devotion we
are bargaining in our souls with the
world, the devil or the flesh. Never
yet has the heart of man sent up on
the wings Of prayer its palpitating
message without finding strength and
healing. Even is such a pleading as
music in the ears of God, causing His
hand to open and shower down bless
fngs.
To pray is privilege beyond ex-
preston and the employing of our
highest faculties in their noblest
function. To pray is to be on the
heights, in the court Of the king of
kings-it is tanning that spark divine
which is in every one of us into a
flame wrapping the soul in the SPLEEN
dor or raiment of the eternal halls
Prayer is the lordliest spurning of
the world and the most defiant procIa-
nation of the vanity Of its promises
and OF its utter helplessness In our
hour of need. Man is at his finest as
he kneels in prayer.
What may we pray for? Augustine
answers that it is our right to ask
for anything and everything our heart
has the right to desire. Nor Is It i'm
possible to pray without ceasing. II
we only knew our danger and our
dearth our whole being would be at
tuned to prayer and in the incessaut
encounter with our spiritual foes and
perils our every thought and word and
deed would be instinct with petition.
Why lack trust in the efficacy of our
supplication? Confidence is easy when
we remember the infinite power of thu
God who made us, because He loves
and yearns for US.
AS we pray we are PROSTATE before
omnipotence and boundless love- 1t
will be we'll with US all when we learn
to pray. If it IS well with us now it
Is because there are more than ten
just men appealing in our behalf. Yes,
1t is all right with the world because
God is In His heaven, but 1t IS more
all right because He is on His earth
as we'll and no sentinel bars our way
to His presence.

AMONG THE MANY MANSIONS.
.---1--NS-~---S=

By Rev. James Nudge, D. D.
In my Fathers house are many
mansions. John 14:2.
Too much can hardly be made of the
fact that heaven, in very important
sense, in its essential elements, is here
and now. Nevertheless, there is, Of
course, life hereafter beyond this
world, a life eternal in Immanuers
land. There is place where Christ
is" a place which He told His dis
c1ples He would prepare for their final
abode. What should be our attitude
toward 1t, our feeling about it? What
use can we probably make of 1t in
the deepening Of our spirituality, the
perfecting Of our character
1t Is test both of our faith and our
faithfulness. In proportion to the vigor
OF our faith will be the clearness OF
our sight Of the things unseen by
mortal eye, our realization of the in
tangible. We may have faith so
strong that there will be no more
doubt as to the reality Of that world
than Of this, no hesitation whatever
IN accepting the intimations concern
Ing 1t which are found in the written
Word, no question as to the satisfying
solidity Of it's joys, the permanency
of the rich possessions to which it
introduces the redeemed. What will
give us this faith? Our faithfulness
to God and duty, our living constant
ly In His presence, our cultivating
those faculties which apprehend the
things Of the Spirit
Should longings for Heaven fill
much of our thought and time? Not
to such an extent as to prevent the
devotion Of all our energies to the
work assigned us by the Master. Sure
ly not to the breeding Of the slightest
discomfort with the duration of our
tarrying here. st. Paul's position about
it (Phil. 1929 would seem to be ideal.
He keenly appreciated the glorious
gain involved in the transition to the
splendor as yet SO imperfectly reveal
ed, but he also appreciated fully the
joy Of laboring for Jesus on this earth
and increasing the triumphs of the
put aside his own Joy in favor Of the
advantage Of his converts and others
to whom he could do still further
good. 1t is certainly safe to leave the
decision as to the best time and man
ner of our death with God, assured
that it shall be exactly Alright and
need not concern US in the least. 1t is
in no way inconsistent with a true
humility as to any worthiness Of our
own to merit Paradise. Our trust Is
all thrown on Jesus name. Where He
is there we shall be also; we shall
be with Him; this right has been
bought for us; through His favor it
has been brought to us, and we, in
rejoicing over it with joy unspeakable,
only do what He has hidden us. We
may be of good cheer as we launch
our barques on the sea of eternity, for
our Saviour walks upon it's waters
making them calm, and crying to us,
1T is I, be not afraid"
