THE REAL VALUE..

How All Literature Is Contained In a Few Great Books. Young people must every now and then hear it said or see it written that all the real value in literature can be put upon a small shelf-that is to say, the really important part of all that is written is contained in a very few good books, all the rest being either unimportant or different ways of saying tne same things that have been said before. The statement, of course. is not true if it be taken literally. There are certainly many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of books that conoriginal thoughts or experiences that are truly valuable; but, generally speaking, the best part of all that has been written is to be found in a few volumes. To understand how this is possible we must remember that near ly all rules are the same as other and simpler rules. In arithmetic, for ex ample, the whole science consists of only four simple ways of treating numbers. We can add, subtract, multiply and divide, and that is all we can do to numbers. The rest of the book is only the working out of these four rules; thus all of the arithmetic could easily be put into a little page that one could carry in the vest pocket. All behavior, all right living, is also set forth in a few simple laws. These illustrations will show what is meant by saying that all literature is contained ln a few great books. The Bible and the works of a few famous poets and essayists contain all human wisand these are within the reach of every purse.-St. Nicholas. THE WARLIKE MOROS. They Prize Their Weapons and Woold Rather Fight Than Eat. An inordinate military conceit is a dominant quality of the Moro. To him there is but one measure of defeat-to wit, annihilation. If beaten, he exnothing less; if he meets less, he has saved tbe day, perhaps won a vicThey are all of one professionAs children their first toys are wooden arms, their first instruction the play of the sword and the spear. Whatelse as men they may be-priest, farmer, robber, pirate, merchant, lawthey are always, first, soldiers. For a young man to lose his creese means to lose his right to marry, and it is the desire of all to die creese in hand. In fear of loss they sleep on these precious arms or with them tied to the body. For the same reason their cannon are kept lashed to timbers in their houses. Firearms, indeed, are their main danwith civilized people. If they see the opportunity thereby to secure such arms, Moros can never resist the tempto rob and murder. To get them they will risk all, lose all and never whimper. To them without the best arnm death were preferable.-Major R. L. Ballard in Metropolitan. The Inns of Old England. Efforts were continually being made ln England to keep down the number of inns. In the reign of Edward I. London. Even in 1552 no more than forty were legally permitted in the menow spreading out its boundon every side. York might have eight, Norwich, Exeter and Cambridge four. Bristol six and Oxford three. These regulations must have been set at naught in a very wholesale manner, for half a century later there were 400 "houses of call" in that part of London known as the City and no fewer than twenty-four clustered round Covent Garden. In mediaeval Oxford it was ruled that no "victualer" was eligible for the office of mayor, and this term included an innkeeper. Thackeray and Dickens. This is the way George Henry Lewes once characterized Thackeray and Dickens in the way of service to a friend: Dickens, he said, would not give you a farthing of money, but he would take no end of trouble for you. He would spend a whole day, for inin looking for the most suitable lodgings for you and would spare himneither time nor fatigue. Thackewould take two hours' grumbling indecision and hesitation in writing a two line testimonial, but he would put his hand into his pocket and give you a handful of gold and bank notes if you wanted them. Bowling. Bowling is one of our games that originated in the middle ages. The exact date of its introduction is obscure, but it has been clearly traced to the thirteenth century. The first bowling greens were made in England. In bad weather these could not be used to advantage, and this led to the construction of covered bowling alleys. Hard Luck.

LACE BARK TREES.

The Beautiful and Serviceable Dress Materials They Yield. There are in all about half a dozen lace bark trees in the world, so called because the inner bark yields a natural lace in ready made sheet form, can be made up in serviceable articles of apparel. Only four of these curious species of trees are of much practical value. Tourists who have stopped at Hawaii or Samoa may recall the lace bark clothing of the natives-clothing of a neat brown color when new, of remarkable strength and of a fragrant odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf. The native tapa cloth, as it is called, is made from the bark of the Brusopapirifera, but it is not usually included among the real lace bark trees. In its natural state the real lace bark is of a delicate cream white tint. It is probably a kind of fibrous pith. When the outer bark is removed it can be unfolded and unwound in one seampiece, having a surface of a little more than a square yard. Washing and sun bleaching give it a dazzling white appearance. The fabric is airily light. It is used in the West Indies for mantillas, cravats, collars, window curin a word, for every purpose that ordinary lace is used. In making up shawls, veils and the like it is custo piece two sheets of lace bark together. Delicate and apparently weak as it is iu single mesh, a bit of lace bark if rolled into a thin string will all but resist human strength to break it.-New York World. UNCONGENIAL FLOWERS. Mignonette and Roses, For Instance, Will Not Mix. The florist frowned as he took up an order for a table decoration. "That will never do," he muttered. After calling up the customer and suggesta change, he told his new clerk a few things. "You must never take an order that calls for a mixture of mignonette and roses," he said. "A centerpiece of those two flowers wouldn't last half through the luncheon. They simply wilt one another. I don't know why, but they can't get along together. "It is true of many flowers. Pansies, for instance, last twice as long if they are not combined with any other flowand the same may be said of vioJonquils and daffodils, on the other hand, seem to got a new lease of life if you combine considerable green with them. Carnations will go all to pieces if you combine them with roses, although the roses do not seem to be affected. "It is more striking in combinations of green with flowers. If you try to use an entirely different type of fofrom what the flower is used to, it won't last so long. So I never put feathery foliage with lilies of the valfor you know its natural foliage is a thick leaf. I never use thick leaves with carnations, for their foliage is of the feathery tvpe. It isn't as though the flowers fought, but they seem to greieve at being misunderstood."-New York Press. A Lure For Cock Robin. Two coins clinked together give so good an imitation of the robin's metalnote that this device has long been employed in England to attract the welcome "harbinger of spring." Formale robins were snared by the clinking of two copper pennies near a dummy bird. The dummy was perched on a twig smeared with bird lime, and cock robin, attracted by the sound and suspecting a rival, flew at him with blood in his eye. This is in violation of the bird laws in the United States, and no one who lives where robins make their home in confidence is likely to give the odd trick so unpleasant a finale. The clinking coppers serve a much more agreeable purpose as a means of rendering cock robin sociaA Fortune In a Song. Song writing is one of the most luof occupations, provided one has the knack of appealing to the poptaste. The average writer stands a better chance of making money by producing pathetic rather than so called "comic" songs. "The Lost Chord" has made three or four fortunes. It has been the most lasting success on recand for years Sir Arthur Sullivan, as composer, and Madam Antoinette Sterling, for whom it was specially written, received a royalty amounting to 12 cents each on every copy sold. It was a gold mine to the publishers too. Onion Soup and Fame. Membership in the French academy, the hoped for reward of Gallic writers was once closely associated with onion soup. During the restoration in France a club was formed under the title of "Diner de la Soupe a l'Onion." This orcontained twenty members. It met every three months, when the dinner was opened with an onion soup. The club was to endure until every aswas elected to the academy. This was accomplished in 1845, when the last banquet was held. Pat's Escape. An Irishman, meeting another, asked what had become of their old acquaintPatrick. Murphy. "Arrah, now, dear honey," said the other, "poor Pat was condemned to be hanged, but he saved his life by dyin in prison." She Would. I'm going up to interview your wife." said the society reporter. "Do you suppose she'll talk?" Do I?" replied the husband. "Why, she'll be talking when your twentyedition comes out." A Vacancy Filled. Gerald-I have a cold in my head.

FINGER FELONS.

There Are Three Varieties of These Very Painful Sores. .A felon, or whitlow, is an infiammaof the hand or finger, usually of the last joint of the finger. Its imporvaries with the seat of it-that is to say, with the portion of the finger involved. It may affect the skin only, the tendons or sinews or the fibrous covering of the bone-the periosteum. A superficial whitlow, where the inis confined to the skin, may be extremely painful, but otherwise it is not a very serious matter. But this cannot be said of the other two forms. In the tendinous whitlow pus forms in the fibrous sheath surrounding the tendon, and unless the inflammation quickly subsides or the matter is let out by the surgeon's knife the pus may burrow down through the sheath into the palm of the hand and result in a permanent crippling of the member. Tbe third variety-called by phythe subperiosteal-is that in which matter forms beneath the memwhich covers the bone. As this membrane is tough and inelastic the tension due to the increasing volume of matter becomes very great and gives rise to a throbbing, maddening pain. The relief afforded by a deep cut into this inflamed finger, right down to the bone, is magical, although the cut hurts. This is the only treatment for this form of felon, and the incision should be made early, for if it is too long delayed the bone will be killed and a discharging sore will remain which will later necessitate a surgical operation even if it does not result in the loss of the last joint of the finger. The superficial whitlow does not usually call for such radical treatment. A clay poultice often affords great reThis may be made by making a paste of clay previously sterilized by baking in a very hot oven and adding glycerin to prevent too rapid drying, or the clay may be obtained ready prepar ed in the drug store. This protects the finger from injury, keeps it cool and, if applied early enough, may prevent the formation of matter. When once pus has formed, however, no matter what the variety of the felon, the safest plan of treatment is to cut into the inflamed finger and give exit to the confined matter and relieve the tension of the parts.-Youth's Companion. Mistaken Idea. "It may be laid down as a broad proposition," said the professor of poeconomy, "that you cannot get something for nothing." "I once got the measles for nothing, professor," interrupted the young man with the wicked eye.-Chicago Tribune. LUMBAGO, SCIATICA NEURALGIA and KIDNEY TROUBLE "5-DROPS" taken internally, rids the blood of the poisonous matter and acids which are the direct causes of these diseases. Applied externally it affords almost inrelief from pain, while a permanent cure is being effected by purifying: the blood, dissolving the poisonous suband removing it from the system. DR. S. D. BLAND Of Brewton, Ga., writes: I had been a sufferer for a number of year with Lumbago and Rheumatism in my arms and legs, and tried all the remedies that I could gather from medical works, and also consulted with a number of the best physicians, but found nothing that gave the relief obtained from "5-DROPS."
