MADE HIS READING THOROUGH
Daniel Webster Seldom Satisfied With
Only One PsrusaI Of Favorlts
Author.

Daniel Webster was one Of the most
earnest and intelligent Of readers all
his life long. His favorite authors
were read and reread with passion
ate fondacs. His critical converse
tions upon the standard poets and
essayists and orators Of the English
tongue are still remembered ana
quoted by those who were present to
hear when the mood and opportunity
of discourse were upon him. !.
How he came to be so successful and
intelligent a reader is explained In
his autobiography. Whatever he read,
he read so often and so earnestly that
he learned to repeat 1t. "We had so
few books" he says, "that to read
them once or twice was nothing; we
thought they were all to be got by
heart" A small circulating library
had been established in the nighbor-
hood by his father and other persons,
and among the books which he obtain
ed from II was the Spectator" II
could not understand why 1t was nee
essary that the author Of the 'Specta-
tor should take such great pains to
prove that Chevy Chase was good
story; that was the last thing doubt
ed" He tells us, SIN those boyish days
there were two things which I did
dearly love, viz, reading and playing
passions which did net cease to
struggle when boyhOed was over

EeYPTs BOOK or THE DEAD
Contents Throw Interesting Light on
the Morals Of the People Of That
Ancient Period.

''Book of the Dead" more properly
called the Book of the Manifestation
of Light is the name of the most fa-
nous book of the ancient Egyptians, ac-
cording to the Detroit News. 1t dates
from the fourth dynasty, 1882 to 1866
B. c., and is written in Egyptian hierQ-
glyphics. It contains prayers and ex-
orcisms for the benefit Of the soul on
its long perilous journeys In the low
or world, as well as minute instruc-
tions by which 1t may vanquish the
frightful monsters that win assail 1t
before reaching the first gates of
heaven.
The text Of the "Book of the Dead"
carefully revised and with illustra-
tions, was published by NJ. Edouard
Naville In 1885 translations also having
appeared in several European lam
guages. The following sentences from
the book, in the souls defease before
Osiris, are interesting as throwing
light on Egyptian morals: Il have
not been intoxicated; / have not told
secrets; have not told falsehoods
have not defrauded; have not SLAM
dered; have not caused tears; have
given food to the hungry, drink to the
thirsty and clothes to the naked"

Love a. a camoufaqe Artist.

Love is the greatest Of all camou-

Make Living Hunting Bats.

An odd class of Mexican prospector
makes good living hunting bat caves.
In the hill countries of Slnaloa and
Sonora the Mexican bat breeds by the
thousands and makes its home In
caves along rocky cliffs. Here depos-
its of guano accumulate, small for
tunes being sometimes realized from
the sale of one caves deposits. The
bat is small, with fiat head and broad
ears, and gives off musky odor. To
locate bat cave these guano-hunters
work much as do the backwoods bee
tree hunters in Missouri. They seek
out likely cliff. wait till dusk and
watch for bats. Soon, by close OBJ
seryation, they can locate the cave
entrance from which the bats emerge.

to digest and should never be given to
invalids. Chicken is the most desir-

Chicken breast may be given even be-

of the chicken is the easiest digested
of all meats when either boiled or
fried well and the bird is young.
Young pigeons are next. Sweetbread
