OLD BOOKS.
rhqir Contents Rather Than Tkfll
Dnten Make Them Valuable.
"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- '

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;

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

Sreenland, to descend in the fall of the

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.

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."

Good Looks Only Possible When Cnrc
Is Taken ofHenltb.
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. There should
j be a delicate wrist with an adorable
