The Business Mans Library.

Every business man ought to have a
few indispensable reference books. Here
is a list which We have prepared at the
library; the total cost is only about $40 !;
yet if every man had even these few
books most of the common questions with
which folks trouble each other would be
answered:
World Almanac, $50.
A good home dictionary, $3.50.
A compact encyclopaedia ($1S will
buy very good one).
An atlas, SO.
Scientific American reference book, So.
New International year book, $3.50
Dictionary of Quotations, $3.50.
Having this nucleus of reference books,
the thing for the young man TO do is to
add a book a week, selecting always
something that stirs his interest and will
get itself promptly and often read. 1t
may be the biography of great figure /;
il may be the history of his own country :;
or of England, or Greece, or Rome; or OF
some stirring period, such as the French
Revolution. 1t may be a book on bust
ness-se long as it interests you and sets
your mind to work it is a good book and
deserves a place in your library.
Gradually through such a steady pro-
cess of accumulation, the library builder
will find his taste growing more critical ;
as the taste of music lovers mounts
steadily through the years. He will come
finally to some appreciation of great lit
erature for its own sake, of the wonder
full charm and power of words rightly
chosen and effectively employed.
So for the pleasure they will find, for
the culture, and for the larger apprecia-
tion of life, advise men always 10 buy
hooks--to buy some book every week if
possible, and gradually to mark their in
tellectual progress through the years by
the expanding reach of their library
shelves. But even more emphatically
urge men to wake up and discover what
a real business asset they are overlook
ing by the neglect of the public library.
Mr.. Dooley once remarked that he
guessed Andrew Carnegie never learned
how to make millions out of the steel
business by studying in one Of his own
Libraries. It's a good joke, but it tells
only half a truth. To be sure, few men
often get their practical education for
life by reading books in a library; but
any young man, in any city, can get from
the librarian course of reading which
will help him to become far more
effective worker in his trade or profess
Sion--no matter whot it may be-John

large majority of the supposed

Not the canned food itself, but acute in

foreign substances with the food while

One hears from European travellers
that Holland and Switzerland are the
most expensive countries for tourists. 1t

cost there is far less than here. This is
what she and her husband had for din

SQUIRRELS Store Nuts.

Not few mammals are In the habit
of hiding surplus food, and 1t is easy
to imagine how this might lead on to
a more definite storing instinct such
as squirrels show. In number of diff
ferent boards the squirrel hides hazel
nuts, beechnuts and acorns, and these
may be a standby in the hard times Of
winter when the beautiful creature,
which is not true winter sleeper, Is
unable to sleep away its hunger, or
when the young ones, which remain for
a long time in the company of the
parents, plead for food In some mild
climates the squirrels storing instinct
seem to remain undeveloped.

Colder Nearer the Sun.

You would have thought that the
nearer you get to the sun the warmer
the temperature becomes, wosldn't
you? But this is by no means the
case. as astronomers win assure you.
for it is much colder closer to the sun
when the latter is shining its bright
est than it is on the earth.
This is proved by the fact that the
highest mountains, even in tropical
countries, are perpetually snow-capped.
Were the heat there even Of the same
temperature as that of the plains be-
meath, the snow would soon disappear.
You know, too, that the higher an
airman flies the more warmly clad he
