THE CHOICE OF BOOKS. J j
(Written for The Times.) jx
My books are my friends. How I! ?
cherish them! Not the only friends, ' ^
Indeed. If they were, then would I %
be miserable beyond mea..uic. How ?
blessed is the fellowship which we)T
have with men and women whom w_
know and whose friendship we de- *
# llKht In. But through books we; X
greatly enlarge the circle of . our T
knowledge and^enter Into fellowship ?
with those whom. It may be, we have 5
never hail the pleasure of mooting In &
person; and, indeed, with those of *?
other Iniuls and other ages. As we
are careful In the selection of our
personal friends so should we exer
else the greatest care In the selec- ..
tlon of books?our friends?both for ?
ourselves and for those dependent I
upon us for instruction and leader-!i
sMp, our children and our pupils. | $
The limit placed upon our time for j &
reading as well as what Is contained
in books mnkes it Imperative that wo|i
exercise wisdom in the books we ?
choose for reading. I imagine that ?
If he lived in our time even Solomon, X
10 said, "Of the making of books J
tli^re Is no end." would be astounded
beyond expression by the annual out- %
put of our printing presses. Wise Is
the man who, from the vast nuni- <
Per of books already in existence ami J J
to Which thousands of titles are being j < >
added each year, good, bad nnd in- ] J J
different, shnll be able to select those o
best suited to his intellectual nnd ^
unlat.ioi i- ?- ?v-- ?> -- >
for reading and the amount of mon- <>
ey he has to Invest In literature.
It Is necessary for the man or wo- j <
man who desires to he well Informed j
or to perform the duties of citizen- ^
ship Intelligently to read a few,well
edited newspapers and magazines. .
But one's reading time should not all ;
ho given to this type of literature. | ^
Reserve a good part of sueh time ^
for the rending of hooks: let these <
bo well selected and let them vary j *
in the kind of suhjeets of whelh they j
treat. That Is to say we should not j +
give ourselves entirely to tletlon as 1 ^
too many people do. Good tletlon ts I
well worth while but the character .
that Is built j>n fiction alone will he
lacking in thut harmonious develop- ^
n.ent which is so desirable In men ^
and women. Our public libraries of
the smaller variety often err here ^
I am always glad to see these instltutlons
In our smaller as well as large
towns and cities. But they would do ___
a far more real and lasting good '<> ' g?
the communities where they do husiness
If they would add a few sclent i- I
fie, historical. political, technical, F
biographical and other hooks to the E
list of those n VII ilnhlo for uuo Til.. E
demand for these would doubtless be | ^
small at (Irst, but the public would
come more nnd more to an appreciation
of the helpfulness of this j
class of books nnd would. In the
same degree, make use of it.
Frjmels Bacon sums up the value |
of books when he says. "Studies !
serve for delight, for ornament, nnd i
for ability; they perfect nature, and
are perfected by experience. Some I
books nre to be tasted, others are to N
be read only In parts; others to-be tj
lead but not curiously; and some few u
to be rend wholly, nnd with diligence
and attention."
Ruskln snj^i: "All hooks are di- H
visible into two classes, the books of [3
the hour, and the books of all time." I
This is a good distinction and one
tout should he marked.
Bet us get acquainted with books. I
and as in other things, let us abhor
the evil among them nnd cleave to jq
the good. Oooil hooks will he friends I
worth while, to instruct, comfort and B
bless us. I^et us buy some well se- ?
lected volumes, rent others. If avtalable,
nnd borrow still others Why
l uy a hook that you will read but
onee? nnd that casually. If your
neighbor has It and will lend' it to
you? There are a number of excellent
private' libraries In Fort Mill
wt ose owners have Invariably offered
the writer the use of their books, the
one condition being that they be well
eared for nnd returned within a reasonable
time. This is a groat kindness
on their part and one may well
falrill the conditions both from the
ulesire to do right nnd because he '
may wish to borrow another book.

MAY liAISlT i/TSITANIA
Divers Srrt to Recover $15,000,000
Carried by l'-Hont Victim.
The lure of $16,000,000 In gold and
sliver, carried by the I.usltania, has
Induced a French salvaging company
to undertake to raise the liner,
which now rests on the bottom of
the sen off the Routh coast of Ire's
ltd. If the project Is successful,
f toe money will bo divided between
ti e salvaging company, the lirltish j
government and the Cunnrd line, stu
The work will take at least a year me
and will be the most costly in the | till
history of such undertakings.
Kxperts have decided that It will Cai
be necessary to cut the vessel Into loo
tlve portions, exclude the water front |
the holds under pressure and then f?i
brlrg the sections together when the < ai
surface Is-reached. The largest ves-1
sal raised heretofore by a similar
system had a tonnage of only 8.000.
while the Lusitanla had a tonnage
of 32,600.
