Worlds Debt to Books.

How safely we lay bare the poverty
Of human ignorance to books without
feeling any shame. They are masters
who instruct us without rod or ferule,
without angry words, without clothes
or money. If we come to them they
are not asleep; if you ask and inquire
of them they do not withdraw them
selves; they do not chide you If you
make mistakes; they do not laugh at
you If you are ignorant-Richard De

Love Element In Writer'S Lives.

Alfred de Musset's love for irrespon-

such an extraordinary elevation that
he wrote many brilliant poems in con-

many queens, but his one great love
was Philippa Picard de Rouet, the
Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Anne OF Bo-

her, but made it matter of complaine

ANGEL AVOIDED THE TRAP
Tells Of His Duel Of Wits With . Spy
Of the Sultan Of Turkey
at Constantlnopis.

In the diplomatic service, a man
must always keep his wits keen and
ready for use. A case in point is sup
piled by James Burrill Angel, in his
"Reminiscences" in this anecdote Of
his so!ourn in Constantinople, as min
lister from the United States:
The spies of the sultan were every
where. A Turk told me that the spy
business was the most prosperous Of
all. l was assured that spies were
sitting at the dinner tables Of the prin-
cipal hotels. to overhear the conver-
sation Of the guests. With one against
whose visits had been warned. had
an amusing interview.
He was handsome, dignified Arab,
who had been in England long enough
to talk English fairly we'll. He intro
duced himself to me by saying he had
been mayor Of Jerusalem, and was
now trying to procure from the gov
eminent a concession for the con-
struction Of a system Of waterworks
for that city.
He regretted-so he informed me-
to find that the government was so
SoiEupl tudt uS Adu uO uOpe VI SeCur-
ing the concessions except by bribing
whole row of officials. It refreshed
him to turn from those representa-
tives Of corrupt and tyrannical gov
eminent and pay his respects to the
representative Of a pure and honest
democracy.
Supposing his object to be to draw
from me some remark derogatory to
the Sultan, which he could report to
my disadvantage. l remarked that a
monarchy presided over by just SOW
ereign was very edifying spectacle,
and that even in republics it must
be admitted that corrupt men were
sometimes found in office.
He seemed surprised, and proceed.
ed to eulogize republican government.
I continued my concentrations OF en-
lightened monarchies.
The conversation ran on in this way
for half an hour. when he bade me
adieu-but. as l fiattered myself, with
