SPLENDID GIFT
OF A RARE BOOK

A rare treasure has just been added
to the State Library, being a copy of
"A Treatise of the Passions and Facul-
| ties of the Soule Of Man, with the
several Dignities and Corruptions
thereunto Belonging, by Edward Rey-
nolds. late preacher to the Honorable
Society of Lincoln's lime; and now
Rector of the Church of Brannston in
Northamsonshire." It is the gift of
Hon. Edward c. Moody of York Village.
The volume becomes the Oldest in
point OF publication, in the possession
OF the State Library, having been
printed in 1910 in London. The re-
mainder Of the inscriptions on the IT,
tie page include a quotation from Ju-
venal, "Quicquid agunt Hominus, VOL
tum. Timor, Ira, Voluptas, Claudia, Dis
cussus nostri est ferrago Libelli" and
the announcement London. Printed
by H. H. for Robert Bostock dwelling
In st. Pauls church-yard at the sign of
the Kings Head. 164O."
The book shows it's great age in spite
or the fine state Of preservation. The
paper is tinted with age and the leath-
er binding has deepened to q dark
brown. The printing was we'll done
and the book is still firm in the binding.
The old-fashioned SIS and the v for
quaint appearance. The subject being
OF somewhat serious nature, each
page has side margin space for notes
and comments, although this copy does
not seem to have received that atten-
ton.
The blank pages at the beginning
and end of the book at various times,
as is shown by the shades of the ink,
were made the record place Of various
family affairs of probably some previ-
GUS owner. The first important one
says:
Dorothy Ross, Hur Book, given to
Hur by Cap Sears of Plymouth in old
1nglan the first with the Lord"
In another handwriting is found:
"Her Book May 9Th, 1777."
One whole page is devoted to family
notes, of little interest to the present
generation. Another page is given up
entirely to poem. entitled "The Fam
lily of Christ in Heaven and Earth"
The book contains $50 printed pages,
with another seven devoted to an adj
dress of introduction, following the
formal dedication, which reads as fol-
lows:
Dedication to Her Highnesse The
Princess Elizabeth, Palatine Of the
Rhine, Clutches of Bavaria, Etc, and
Oldest Daughter to Her Majestic the
Queen of Bohemia"

devote considerable space to the auth

from 1899 to- 1876. He was an English

Careless Use of
Soap Sp0ils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking it's
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which is
pure and greaseless). and is better than
the most expensive soap or anything else
you can usk.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
mosten the hair with water and rub it

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and a few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.-Adv.
