Books on a Shalt.

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness This is less in the han
ding often than upon the shelves
Books should not be packed tightly
on shelf. Ii ruins the back and
causes them to tear loose with the
strain of getting In and out. Often 1t
forces the leaves to sag to the shelf
when pushed unduly. 1t is just as bad
for books TO be too loose on a shelf. as
they warp. and the spreading leaves
encourage dust. A bookcase with the
contents at every angle is not pleas
ing sight. There are some housekeep-
ers who think yearly busting Of the
books at housecleaning time sufficient.
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass; when on open
shelves 1t means ruin to valuable
books. II takes little longer to dust
the backs and tops of books on each
shelf every day. Use a soft cheese
cloth or silk duster and shake 1t fire.

There Is much unfavorable COM
ment from all parties in reference to
what is called the "blundering blath-
erskite diplomacy" or rather the lack
of it, Of the Democratic heir-apparent
to the speakership of the house of
representatives. Nothing could have
been more mol perfume than the
statement that reciprocal trade rela-
tions were preliminary to the annex
alton Of British America, and a fool
ish remark may be the ruin of what
promised to be a most beneficent
trade arrangement. 1t is yet time
for the Democratic majority to pause
and reconsider the propriety of elect
Ing a political marplot to a high Of
fee. A hundred or more years ago
there was a ducking stool in England
for silencing old women who talked
too much. An appropriation for such
an instrument and a water tank
would not be bad for the National
Capitol.

Good Clothes and Good Morals.

1t is doubtful whether any one to
whom soap and water and more or
less tidy clothes are matter of course
can rightly estimate the extent to
which this question OF clothes and
cleanliness bears upon the criminality
Of youths. Dirty. ragged garments,
greasy caps and neck scarfs worn day
after day without the possibility of a
change are. believe, responsible for
much. Certain 1t is that the lad who
is content with but one set of raiment
invariably belongs to very low stra-
tum of society. and the absence of a
desire for Sunday suit and the un-
abashed wearing of the weekday suit
on the Sunday is very frequently in
deed phe mark of one largely imper
vious to outside inf1uences.-C. Z. B.

small secular asceleration of the earth,
which is also indicated by the obser-
ations of the eclipses during the past
5000 years.
Around the sun and the planets there
irculates a vortex Of cosmical matter,
f which the satellites, the rings of Sa
odiacal light are dense enough to be
seen.
The descent of this matter upon the
sun and the planets gives rise to the
observed. but hitherto unexplained ac-
celerations of the equatorial regions of
these globes.
The modification of the original
obliquities of the planets is shown to
depend on the capture and absorption
of satellites and the vortex of cosmical
dust surrounding the planets. 1t is
shown that in this way the obliquity
of Jupiter was practically obliterated.

1t is something more than oppor-
tune that the exposure of the great
lumber trust comes fast upon the
heels OF reciprocity with Canada and
the proposed free importation of lum-
Der from that country. The Bureau
OF Corporations has just furnished
the information that forty years ago
75 per cent of-the timber of the coun-
try was owned by the government,
but at present 80 per cent of it is
owned by private persons. 1t is ap-
parent that the United States must
conserve with greatest care the small
remaining supply of timber and,
further, 1t must, If possible, schotch
the trust that is monopolizing with
view to increasing still further the
exorbitant cost of such timber as is
not at present under their control,

Taft as a politician and statesman
has risen considerably since the be.
ginning of the present session. II
is conceded that he is in the main
master of the situation and when re-
ciprocity with Canada is established,
as the better minds of the country
think it will be, there is prospect of
reciprocal trade relations between
the United States and Mexico and
