BOOK TREASURES OF PAST
ing, Illuminating and Binding of Them by Hand.

The cost of materials and copying, Illuminating and binding books by hand made them the treasures of rich collectors and the pride of museums, palaces and convent libraries. Im- mense sums were invested in them, and a rare or unusually original copy became gem in value. as well as sentiment. Cicero. whose magnificent library was almost as famous as it's owners eloquence. declared that he had seen Q parchment roll containing the entire 'Tliad" of Homer. which was compressed between the shells Of nut. work Of extreme skill and patience. which a French savant, NJ Huet. has since demonstrated was within the range of possibility. Many such tours de force are said to have demonstrated the skill of ancient copyists and their economy parchment and vellum.
 In the eighth century it was with great difficulty that a monk of the rich Abbey of Saint Gall, France, gathered piece by piece sufficient parchment to begin the transcription of a rare work Later. in i120. a monk employed to prepare a copy Of the Bible could not find in all England sufficient parchment for the purpose --Natio2sl Magazine.

CHILD IS 4 GREAT THINKER
Juvenile Logic Displayed by the Lit tie Girl Who Wanted Baby
 Brother.

Those who call children thought less merely prove that they do not know the child nature. Children. as a matter of fact, are great thinkers. They only seem lacking in thought to such of their elders as fail to com prehend that the childish mind works differently from that of the adult. Ju- venile logic. for instance. frequently is faulty judged by grown-up standards. but just as frequently t is sound and incontroyertible from it's own point of view.
 A thoughtful little girl for example recently put to rout her mother, a young widow. by a searching fire of questions founded on the request:
 "Oh. mamma. won't you buy me a baby brother?"
 "You won't understand why I can't 1o that for you." the mother finally re- marked, driven into corner. "but lit- tie girls who have no fathers cannot have little brothers and sisters"
 Well. it seems very unreasonable .' said the child. after a few moments of reflection. little girls without fath- CTS are pretty sure to be lonely. and that seems all the more reason why they should have other children in the family, doesn't it?"

SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO EAT
School Girls and Boys Need Lessons In Mastication for Their Ston-
 achs' Sake.

Nor is it enough that school girls a1d boys should be taught to cook; they should also learn how 10 eat Few learn tsis al home. They are usually taught to eat silently, and not to take soup of the end Of a spoon or to put the knife into the mouth: but the more important art of masti- cation is ignored It is branch of physiology and should be taught by experts in~she schools.
 If it were. the next generation of mothers and fathers would know that it is a crime 10 let their children swal- low food, particularly milk and cereals and vegetables, before it has been kept for while in the mouth to be mixed with saliva and made digest ible.
 If it were indelibly impressed on school children that gluttony is a vice which defeats its own end. that by eating slowly much more pleasure can be got from one moCthful than by bolting a whole plateful, that this pleasure can be vastly increased by consciously exhaling through the nose while eating. and that those who eat in this way will escape the bangs Of indi- tion-f these truths were i'm pressed on every child mind, two-thiTds of the minor ills of mankind would dis appear in two generations. and most of the major malsdies also: for the stom- ach is the source of most diseases.

SIZE
Hatpins of. Eur.

A useful little idea for furnishing winter hats is to make fur hatpins A little furry knot looks sweet and g scrapy of odd fur. taken from some that is done for can often be found This is cut in a circle and gathered round. being drawn up over the head of an ordinary hstpin. A little cock sde of tails might be added. but when this is done they must be sewn on in such position that they stand lp at ,Se side of the hat and do not stick out in ungainly fashion when the pin is thrust through the crown. For feather hats the same notion can be carried out, covering the pin with a scrap Of feather trimming or mara DOu.

HIS STRATAGEM WAS COSTLY
lt Was Designed to Break Him o' Cigarette Habit, but Only Left
 Him Poorer.

Mac Keene is described by Mrs. Meyer. our landlady. as being a stu dium" and "poor as a church mouse ' The first appellation is true-he is a student Of engineering; the simile is rather bafling but that he is poor fear Is true also Mac Keene is philosopher. Many men of little busi- hess. l observe. are philosophers. I became acquainted with Mac Keene when I invited him in one evening to share the warmth from my fre--he having none-and he proved treas ure to me during many long winter evenings l offered him smoke, and was instantly attracted to the man by his story of the cunning stratagem he employed to break himself of the habit of smoking to excess.
 Mac Keene had devised sundry and divers tricks to accomplish his end, all without success; the latest maneuver against the enemy consist ed fin his buying the most expensive cigarettes he could find. with the idea in mind that the wanton and profiigate extravaganza of smoking them up too rapidly would materially reduce his consumption of the weed; then, if the campaign were successful, he would not increase his expense in the long run. but when the habit was more un- der control be could reduce his ex- pense even below the present by re- turning to cheaper brands. Such in- genuity as this was deserving of re- ward, but alas, it failed from the start. and left Mac Keene a poorer and a no more temperate man--New York Evening Post.
