"It Is extraordinary," said a book collector the other day, "the value some people attach to old books simply because they ire old. Not long ago a friend of mine showed me two old trunks filled with books which he had found in a house originally the property of his wife's grandfather, and which she had recently inherited !rom her mother. There were in all perlaps about 300 volumes, most of which sore the dates 1760, 1770, 1765 and so on, ind my friend confidently believed that ;hey were worth at least their weight in jold. On the contrary, they were books )f very little value and interest, and not vorth much more than their weight as vaste paper. He politely suggested that I vas a liar when I told him that, but he jhanged his mind after ho had tried in rain to sell the books to secondhand deal>rs. "Outside of these overestimated books ny friend's wife had a barrelful of pam)hlets which she was going to use to kinile the fire with. Though worthless in ny friend's opinion, these had really contiderable value, being old Massachusetts, Philadelphia and New York almanacs, Revolutionary pamphlets and broadsides ind printed documents relating to Kings ind Queens counties, and a dealer paid ny friend $100 for the lot. One of the demised almanacs was Charles Smith's Gentleman's Pockct Almanac* for the rear 1796, which contained a portrait of Washington ? one of the rarest of the Washington portraits?and yet my friend vas going to kindle the fire with it. "It is really next to impossible to get tuch people to believe that a book is not >f necessity worth money because it was , jrinted a long time ago. Nine out of ten )00ks published before this century are growing more worthless every year. The enth one has value, higher ,or lower, in < apportion to its character. Occasionally i literary gem, a book of real value to a < sollector, maybe found in a lumber room, )ut the date on the title page is never a lafe guide."?New York Commercial Ad- ' rertiser. < SIR WALTER RALEIGH. Parted Career of the Distinguished s Courtier and Adventurer. Raleigh's day of days was at the sack of 3adiz in 1596. It was Raleigh who over mytr fhn t.itnirt ootmsftls of Tjord Thomas 3oward, crying out to Lord Essex: "Enxamos! Entramos!" a permission so aoseptable to the gallant young earl that he ;hrew his hat into the sea for sheer joy. rhen Raleigh betook him to his ship and ed the van under the batteries and right nto the harbor. 'When his vessel, shatcred by shot, was on the point of sinking, le left it to enter Essex's ship, and, hough wounded severely by a splinter, lad himself carried on shore and lifted on 10 a horse to charge with ^Essex against :he Spanish army. Of the sea fight Hakuyt says: ""What manner of fight this was and vith what courage performed and with vhat terror to the beholder continued, vhere so many thundering tearing peecea , vere for so long atimo discharged, I leave ,t to the Reader to thinke and imagine." )f the charge on shore he tells us: "The lime of the day was very hot and faint, ind the way was all of dry deepe elyding and in a manner, and beside that, very meven. But tne most famous &arie, with lis valiant troopes, rather running in leede in good order, then marching, haslened on them with such unspeakable courige and celerity, as within one houres [pace and lesse the horsemen were all disjomforted and put to flight, their leader jeing strooken downe at the very first en:ounter, whereat the footmen, being wonlerfully dismayed and astonished at the inexpected manner of the Englishmen's cinde of such fierce and resolute fight, re- i ;yred themselves with all 6peed possible 1 ,hat they could." We know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh ' jut too well?his cruel imprisonment, his nore cruel liberation to save his life by iccomplishing the impossible and his 1 nost cruel execution on a warrant signed L5 years earlier. He knew all that is to je known of success and failure, of courts ind treachery, of sea fights' and assaults >n cities, of treasure islands and tempests ind long marches in tangled forests.??7; Fortnightly Review. The Landrail. The most remarkable thing about the landrail is its extraordinary instinct or passion for migration. Whence comes to it that overpowering desire which twice in th^ year impels it, weak winged though It is, to change its quarters, to range durLng our English springtime as far north is the bleak and frozen shores of arotio Sreenland, to descend in the fall of the pear away south into Africa and eastward Into Asia, reaching in its return migration countries so distant and so widely sundered as Natal and Afghanistan? At present, in spite of theories and surmises, we have no satisfactory reason offered to us for the wonderful migration?recur dug bicuuiiv, pcidiBLVuu/ auu uuiamu^ly, year after year?of a bird like the landpail, whose weak wings and strongly developed legs plainly attest the fact that its natural powers of progression lie far more in walking and running than In flying.?Saturday Review. The Smart Terser. The church possessed a valuable Bible, which was only used on Sundays, says a writer in The Cornhill Magazine, speaking of an English country parish. During the week it was kept in a box which rather j curiously formed the stand upon which j the reader of the lessons stood. On one j occasion, when this was being shown to a j visitor, the remark was made that it did not seem very reverent for even a clergyman to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon me," the old verger replied. "In this church, sir, wo take our stand upon the Scriptures." A Barrel of Flour. A Darrei or iiour wiu iiihkb ueany uuuble Its weight in bread. Flour rapidly deteriorates with age unless kept dry. It absorbs moisture, and this moisture Impairs the gluten which if indispensable to the lightness of the bread. Besides, it changes some of the 6tarch into sugar and a gummy matter known as dextrin, and this makes the bread heavy and sodden. "Kid" is merely a jocose substitution i for "lamb," used for a young child, and is very old. Charles Reade and Dickens used "kid" in this sense, and Virgil'B phrase, "ite capelke," has been freely translated, "Go it, my kiddies."

In France, says The Chicago RecordHerald. they will tell you about the 1 wouderful schools of beauty in Amer ica where, for sum oi ifiuu ana me investment ot a few weeks' time, the. j ugliest woman is made adorable. , Here in our dear America we drink j in fables concerning the wonderful \ beauty and Titian locks are to be had j for the asking and tbe price, and > where enameled faces are the proper caper. The truth is no such marvelous, mirauulous evolutious from ugliness to loveliness ever take place. One's thought dome, covering can be dyed, hut that does not bring general beauty. Wrinkles can be rubbed away and the skin freshened, facial blemishes can be removed to a large extent, and cutaneous irritations cured, but when you start, out to make of yourself a i truly beautiful woman you have tbe tank of years oefore you. It means | ihat you must take of your health, , which is tbe foundation and structure ] of g*.od looks. It means that you j must chase away from the habit of | "saying things" when you feel out ( sorts. It means that you must take ( the straps and buckles of prejudice aud pretty opiuions off your heart and ( your brain, and that you must be , great and big of soul, loving humality, i appreciating life, enjoying studying, tvorking, achieving, dreaming and making each day better. The word beauty covers a multitude of goodness, fine qualites, sympathies, affections . and honesty. It is not merely a ; matter of bombarding complexion 1 ills, wearing a dip belt and growing , a pompadour as big as a Hubbub j squash. It is by creating ? definite goal of perfection toward which every goad irnpuUe will help you. In the , majority of cases a complete change in one's appearance means an entire reform in babits, bringing the daily regimeu iutoconformity with hygenic laws. Cleanliness, fresh air, good' substantial food and cheerfulness are the greatest of all cosmetics. Concerning the beauty of the neck, ar.iis and shoulders there is much to be said. This is a triumphal hour of physical culture and there is no need ofanall-bonv condition or the too-fat product. The arms of a Sahdow, consisting of great knots of muscles, are not. to be desired, for that style of loveliness should be monopolized by the sterner sex. We are not profesj sional athletes. What woman should seek is strength and flexibility, combined with lithle, soft, eflemimate loveliness. A beautiful arm is round smooth, white and plump?not fat or thin.
