THE READING HABIT.

According to evidence furnished by
the public libraries, the people Of
America are today reading more of
applied science and standard fiction
than anything else. There are now
more than $4,000 public Libraries in
the United States and they have more
than 20 million volumes on their
shelves. We are great readers, and
we seem to be rather good readers as
well. People who think we are going
to the dogs may ponder this for a
