Starting Traditions.

In ages which we call heroic, the
saint works miracles, the warrior per-
forms exploits beyond the strength Of
natural man. In ages less visionary,
which are given to ease and enjoy
ment, the tendency is to bring the
great man down to the common level
and to discover or invent faults which
shall show that he Is or was but a
little man after all. The alb
surdity of a calumny may be as evil
dent as the absurdity Of miracle, the
ground for belief may be no more than
a ightness Of mind and less par
donable wish that it may be true. But
the idle tale floats in society, and by
and by is written down in books and
passes into the region Of established
eoalitieS,-FrOude.

How to Read.

At best the printed words Of an au.
thor represent but poor fraction of
what is in his thought and feeling, or
what he would express If he could.
Therefore, 1t Is we'll to follow RusEin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act Of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
pathy with the idea expressed and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more Of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
