The Rioht Way to Read.

The only way to read with any
efficiency is to read so heartily that
dinner time comes two hours before
you expected it. To sit with your
Livy before you and hear the geese
cackling that save the capital. and to
see with your own eyes the Carthagin-
ian suffers gathering up the rings OF
the Roman knights after the battle Of
Cannae and heaping them into
bushels; and to be so intimately pres
ent at the actions you are reading OF
that when anyone knocks at the door
II will take you two or three seconds
to determine whether you are in your
own study or in the plains OF Lom-
hardy looking at Hannibars weather
beaten face-that is the only kind OF
study that is not tiresome, almost the
only kind that is not useless.-Sydney
Smith.
