Literature in Cold Storage
n Inc Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday EVenlnB Tos''
 Publishers complain that people do not buy serious books An experienced schoiar retorts that publishers will not let them. Here is a new and rather important his- torical work of 600 pages. It IS printed in large type on heavy paper, with wide margins, to make 1t as bulky as possible. The prjce is s5. postage extra That IS considerable money; but there are some 200 public and collegiate libraries that feel bound to buy any historical work u,b,ch can claim Importance. no. matter what the price.
 The publisher would rather have the sure thing of 800 copies at s5 than take rbe chance of selling several thousand comics at s2. Theoretically. books in the library circulate; but it is notorious that people seldom go to the library for new serious book. A reader whose habits or tastes would attract him to new plos- ranhy. say. wants his volumes on his shelves. If 1t is really worth the trouble of reading he will alr.iost certainly wlsh to refer to it again. He cannot trot down to the library for every reference. A reader of such habits or tastes wishes to possess the books in which he Is really in- terested. If he capnot afford to own the book he probably will not read 1t at all What circulates from the library. besides fiction, is Taine's Enrlish Literature. Mac- aulay's England. Gibbons Decline and Fall. Boswells Johnson.
 It is clear consequently that large part of our new serious literature Is au- tomatically canned and moved Into cold storage, and so there is world of pains and expense for nothing.

Roses

 From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
 The rose has one great beauty which many are unfamiliar with or overlook It pays to be liberal with them to your friends. If you want plenty of good roses every morning cut off punches and take them to the office as offerings to the stenographers who may be so unfortun- ate as not to have a rose garden.
 This is the practical way of pruning the rose for the size of flower and to prolong the blooming period. But if you are selfish and stngy and propose to keep all the floral beauties to yourself. or let them bloom and die upon the plants, you will have a few measly, miserable little specimens and the roses will last but a few days. Make 1t a rule to never let a rose wither upon the bush-cut 1t off, with a liberal stem, at the eight of it's bloom and give 1t to some one, not be- cause you love them, but because you love the roses. And nature will repay your generosity by giving you more and better roses than you ever before en- joyed.
 The rose is the one flower that exem- pllfies the beauty of giving, for the more you give ayay the more you have. And therein rests It's greatest charm.
