AS TO Books AND EDUCATION
Gladstone's Advice and Summing Up
Are Worth the Careful Consid-
GRAFTON of All Readers.

And now I commend you again to
your books. Books are delightful So
ciety. If you go into room and find
1t full of books even without taking
them from their shelves, they seem to
speak to you, to bid you welcome.
They seem to tell you that they have
something inside their covers that will
be good for you, and that they are
willing and DESTROYS to impart to you.
Value them much. Endeavor to turn
them to good account and pray recol-
lect this, that the education of the
mind is not merely storage of goods
In the mind. The mind of man, some
people seem to think, is a storehouse
which should be filled with quantity
of useful commodities which may be
taken out like packets from a shop
and delivered and distributed accord
ing to the occasions of life. will not
say that this is not true as far as it
goes, but it goes a very little way;
for commodities may be taken in, and
commodities may be taken out, but the
warehouse remains just the same as it
was before, or probably little worse.
That ought not to be the case with a
mans mind. No doubt you are able to
Gull knowledge that is useful for the
temporal purposes of life, but never
forget that the purpose for which a
man lives is the improvement of the
man himself, so that he may go out
of the world having, in his great
sphere or his small one, done some
little good to his fellow creatures, and
and the sorrow that are in the world.

ECHOES LOUDER THAN SOUND
Probably Hard Thing to Imagine, But
Science Has Proved 1t Fact
Beyond Doubt.

To most persons it would seem i'm
possible for an echo to be louder than
the sound that produced the echo, but
under certain rather peculiar condi-
tons this is really true.
When revolver is fired from a bal
loon the report is sharp, but not so
loud as it would be if the gun were
fired on the surface of the earth.
If the balloon is up something like
1000 feet or higher, there will be
few seconds silence after the revolver
shot and then roar or deep rumble
will rise up from the earth.
If an explosive is lowered from the
basket of the balloon until it hangs
few hundred feet below, and it is dis
charged with an electric spark from
a battery in the hands of one Of the
aeronauts, there will come to the
ears of those above report like re-
volver shot and then a few seconds
of silence, followed by peal of the
loudest thunder ever heard.
There is no solid background about
or above the balloonists to produce a
rebound of the atmospheric sound
wave and the air is more dense below.
Thus, when the sound-waves pene-
trate the denser lower strata of air
and then the solid earth, the echo pro-
duced seems to the ears of the occu-
pants of the balloon far louder than
the original sound-Harper's Weekly.

DEMAND FOR CURIOUS NAMES
While They Have No Commercial
Value, They Are Eagerly Sought
by "Coilectors."

The more unusual the name the more
valuable the signature. This is the
latest development of the autograph
collecting fad. No matter how cele-
brated particular Smith or Jones
may be, his autograph counts for little
as compared with that of some hum
BILE person of extraordinary name.
To make a collection of these curl.
Gus signatures of value the address
and date must be written ON the card
with the autograph. Without these
vouchers no one could be blamed for
doubling the authenticity of some of
signatures in this type of autograph.
For instance, who would believe the
name "Turnipseed' ever existed I'M
less Mr.. Turnipseed's address was
plainly given as voucher? Mr..
Toadvines identity would seem equal.
ly impossible and Mr. Twelvetree
would be hardly less probable.
A collector of curious autographs
once he is on the track of a person,
with an extraordinary name loses no
time in bagging his prey. The rare
specimen might leave his present adj
dress and this valuable addition to a
collection be lost. So the collector
sends politely worded note, inclos-
ing blank card which fits neatly into
an addressed and stamped envelope.
He begs the favor of the autograph
and suggests that it be written as leg
IDLY as possible.

Advice About Reading,

Be sure, then, to read no mean
books, shun the spawn>of the press in
the gossip of the hour. Do not read
what you shall learn, without asking,
in the street and the train. Doctor
Johnson said he always went into
stately shops" and good travellers
stop at the best hotels; for though
they cost more they do not cost much
more, and there is the good company
and the best information. In like
manner the scholar knows that the
famed books contain, first and last,
the best thoughts and facts. Z.
The three practical rules, then, which
l have to offer are: First, never
read any book that is not year old;
second, never read any but famed
books; third, never read any but
what you like.-Emerson.

MORE THAN MATTER OF WORD

In answering an opponent, arrange

adversary, and give him every credit

can answer, and slur over all those
which you feel you cannot; but above
all, if he has the privilege of making
his reply, take special care that the
strongest thing you have to urge is
the last.

say something, and if he be not pre-

ana up and down the land the
critics asked, "Who is it that has
done this thing?" and there was no
answer. For the play was produced
under nom de plume, and the clev-
crest work of the newspapers failed
to disclose the real identity of the
author.
After the play had been a success
for many months and had brought a
great harvest of shekels to manager
and playwright, fire occurred in a
great office building wherein the
manager who produced the play had
his offices. A reporter hurrying to
the fire was enveloped in a cloud of
smoke and cinders and after catch
ing his breath found a charred piece
Of paper blown across his face.
Glancing at it he saw that it was a
contract and upon further investiga-
ton it proved to be the veritable con-
tract between the author of ''Love's
Last Surrender" and the manager
who purchased it. The controversy
is to the authorship of the play had
oeen waging so fiercely that the re-
porter recognized instantly the
7alue of the information he had. He
vent on with his fire story and on
The following day sought out the
nan whose name was on the priceless
contract the gods had sent into his
hands. He found him-a thin, hol-
ow-cheeked man with eyes in which
'urned a fire almost uncanny in its
Intensity. He was lily dressed and
'ore none of the marks of the sue
.ossful author.
'FWhat was the inspiration of this
great work ?" asked the reporter.
Come with me-" replied the man.
Following him silently the report
er went with the man by trolley car
and walk until they reached the
great cemetery by the flowing river.
The great author paused beside a
grave surmounted by simple shaft |
out heaped high with priceless roses.
"The inspiration lies here" said
he solemnly. "The play is the very
essence of the life and love and de-
0otion of the marvellous woman who
lies beneath this mound. It is the
warp and wool of her heart-throbs
and mine. That is why 1 have never
let my authorship be Known
would not profane her love and mine.
You, sir, have discovered the secret.
You have it in your power to do this
act of dissertation. Do it, sir, if your
will allow. I cannot pre-
vent it-but [ forbid it in the name
Of every holy and generous instinct"
He turned abruptly and went
away.
"Well, did you get the story ?" de-
handed the city editor eagerly as
Holmes entered. the Office.
"No," replied Holmes soberly,
tearing piece of paper into bits and
throwing the bits on the floor!
Nothing in it; false alarm"
''Well, of all FOOLS" remarked the
,ity editor in disgust, "and you've
wasted whole afternoon. Get busy
IN that Hill graft case. Keep it. in
.wo columns"

street grave and solemn gentleman
Who modestly picks his way among

Ways lifts his hat when he meets him.
