Systematic Book-Buying.

“ One cigar a day at ten cents is thirtysix dollars a year; thirty-silt dollars a year is”—we are all familiar with the calculation, and have each been astounded in turn to find how closely we missed being millionaires. If Methuselah didn’tsmoke he must have been a Commodore Vanderbilt before he was half-grown up. Some of these arithmetico-economic curiosities become rather a bore, but the fact remains that to spend, or to save, or to buy, little by little, and as little as you please, but. regularly, counts up to a wonderful total in the end. The churches discovered, not long ago, that “systematic beneficence,” at ten certs a head, was a cure for many chronic financial ills, and everybody knows how “ Peter’s pence” builds grand cathedrals and mounts up to almost millions of dollars. Perhaps most readers don’t stop to think how easily they can get together a library in smaH expenditufes that scarcely count. The average American of culture ways for a library of his own, but he sighs after it too often as a costly luxury that must be a great ways off, unless he gets rich in as much of a hurry as he would like to. But of all things, a library is a matter of small beginnings. The foundations of some of the finest have been laid with a few dollars. If a boy in college, for instance, saves enough pocket-money to invest in one good book a fortnight, or even a month, he comes out with a nice little nucleus of a hundred or half a hundred books, which are pretty sure to grow into something worth having—and he has that much more all hjs life, without feeling the cost. There is much more to be said in favor of systematic book-buying. The sense of ownership is itself a delight. A library is your best piece of furniture. But beyond this, the authorities agree that you can’t get the best out of a book until you own it. Some great men, so the autobiographies say, got their start in education from stolen fruit, taken in sips at a bookstore; and they tell of how Daniel Webster was glued to liis post for a whole day over a book he devoured in front es a bookstall. But we warrant they bought the books for themselves as soon as they could. You may go to the circulating library for your novels, but a book that you mean to have enter into your life—own it. One eminentw’riter lays down the rule: “ Never read abook that you don’t own. Put the book on your shelf and you have your knowledge doubly.” Now, if the reader will stop to think, he will find that this luxury is by no means denied him, though his income be less than the Duke of Bedford’s. There are few who cannot buy the standard books they do or should road. An evening at the theater, a dozen cigars—we don’t presume to suggest economy to the ladies! — costs as much as a book that lasts a lifetime. Anyone of ordinary earnings can place his dollar here once in a while, and it is surprising how soon he will have a library of his own, that is always a delight, and is, moreover, “ introconvertible” into currency if he finds need. And if he will buy regularly he has the start of a library in a single year. Books are the best paying luxury in dull times aud capital investment all the year round. — Literary Newt. —

Postage-Stamp Collecting.

The collecting of postage-stamps is not always such a frivolous pastime or occupation as many people imagine. These little bits of colored paper, ornamented with portraits, or coats-of-arms, or peculiar devices, have a great deal of information in them. They tell of the rise and fall of princes; of the history of republics; of the manners and customs of the people; of the peculiar characteristics of the country. The French and Spanish stamps are epitomes of the histories of their respective countries; the English colonial stamps are a geography in themselves; the South American stamps present a fine display of mottoes and devices; from the West Indian stamps we learn something of the peculiar characteristics of these islands ;while in the stamps of our own country, in common with others issuing from other quarter of the globe, we have national portrait galleries. While postage-stamps are being collected, or when they are put into their albums, they are examined and studied. The map is consulted to find the location of the country issuing them. The history is opened to find whose portraits are figured on them. The cyclopedia is brought out to get some idea of their value? Some learned friend is questioned to find the meaning of the peculiar inscriptions or legends. And little by little this research goes on until the collector often finds himself, in a manner, getting hints of almost everything of interest going on in the world. Ifßussia and Turkey arequarreling over Montenegro, he can discuss the cause of the troubles. He found it out when examining the Montenegrin stamps in his album. When a young boy is placed upon the throne of Spain, and the collector’s attention is called to this country, stamps show him the many changes in that unfortunate country; and Amadeus, and Don Carlos, and Isabella, and the proud and haughty nation which unveiled a new continent pass before him as a panorama. The Centennial is spoken of; our young collector takes out his album, and sees Franklin with his kite, Washington at Yorktown, Perry on the lakes, Jefferson and Louisiana, Jackson behind the cotton bales at New Orleans, Scott on the plains .of Mexico, and Lincoln with his emancipation proclamation. In stamp-collecting the judgment is sharpened in endeavoring to detect tlie good and to discard the counterfeit; the eye is drilled to appreciate the harmonv and contrast of colors, in the proper arrangement of the stamps; patience is acquired and taste cultivated in the efforts to produce fine effects; and cases are known of foreign languages being studied simply to enable the collector to decipher the legends and inscriptions on the stamps. A pursuit which is productive of sq much good should not be decried as a mere childish pastime.— St. Nicholas f&r November.

A diver named Fradette has been Elected to the Quebec Legislature from the county of Bellechasse. He can neither read nor write, and some one having reproached him with this serious inconvenience at a public, meeting he replied: “ Gentlemen, it is believed that I can be prevented from being elected by reproaching me with ignorance; but I believe I can do without the votes of educated people if all those who are as ignorant as my, self will vote for me. Yes, if all the ignorant people will give me their votes I shall be elected by a great majority. Gentlemen, they often talk of educated people. Well, what uo these great savants know? They talk to you of all that there is in. the earth or in the firmament, but have they ever spoken to you of what there is in the i bottom of .the sea! Well, I can tell you that.” x .

About an Assertion.

I have great respect for Miss Anna Dickinson. True, she can’t bake a loaf of bread, darn a sock, put down a carpet or sift pumpkin, but, on the other hand, she refuses to wear a bustle, is not affected and agrees with me that goats are a great nuisance in cities. t I saw, the other day, an assertion by Miss Dickinson that the present generation of men, both married and single, was a terribly selfish generation, and she added a complaint of a general lack of civility toward unprotected females. I don’t want to deny that I am a man, nor yet deny Miss Dickinson’s assertion. I want to explain. When I got into an omnibus in Chicago one evenin'* not long ago, to.change over to another depot, someone’s maiden aunt was my fellow-passenger. She had three or four bundles and a trunk to come by the baggage-wagon, and she was not a handsome woman nor a young woman. If I was to be put on bath I’d swear that she was one of homeliest women I ever saw, and I’ve been all over New Jersey and Indiana. I knew’ the woman had to change cars, and I knew she ought to be glad of a little help, so I slid along the seatand asked: “ Going East?” She didn’t reply and, thinking she might be a little deaf, I called out again: “ Going East?” She whirled around, gave me a look of rage and contempt, and hissed out: “ I know you, young man! and if you speak to me again I’ll have you jailed!” There I was, trying to be civil and obliging and to disprove Miss Dickinson’s ■assertions, and the woman took me for a pickpocket or a murderer! I made another effort when we reached the depot, saying: “ Madam, I am going East, and if you take the same train I’ll cheerfully show you to the ticket office and help you to get your baggage checked.” “ I’ll help you if you don’t go away from me!” she snarled, and she added that if justice were done I’d be in State Prison. She got confused in the crowd, failed to find her trunk, and when the train went out she was cantering around the depot w’ith a certainty of having to wait there eight long hours for another train. I could have had her aboard the train with five minutes to spare, but she wouldn’t let me; and I expect she will some day publish an assertion that men are uncivil and selfish. When the clouds gathered the other night and the rain came pouring down I had an umbrella. This may seem incredible to umbrella-owners, but I am on oath. Remembering Miss Dickinson’s assertion, and overtaking a lady with a new hat and choice raiment on, I said: “ Madam, I shall be glad to loan you my umbrella. You can send it to me in the morning.” “ Yes, I know you would! ” she snarled in reply. “ Take it, please, and save your new hat.” She halted, turned around and then and there remarked as follows: “It’s none o’ your business about my hat and if you aon’t leave me I’ll havs you arrested.” Now I may be ugly in look but she couldn’t have seen it on account of the darkness, and no one has a right to j udge of people’s motives by a high-keyed or a low-keyed voice. I wanted to be civil and obliging and would cheerfully have suffered rheumatic twinges in order to save herraiment, but she wouldn’t let me. Two or three w’eeks ago I sat in a pas-senger-coach with a young lady in* the seat next ahead. I suddenly remembered that the magazine which I had finished an hour before might help to relieve the monotony of her journey. I passed it over with the remark: “ Perhaps this may help you to while away the time.” She turned square around, her eyes flashed and she spitefully hissed: “ How dare you speak to me?” There I had it, but I am naturally obstinate and I replied: “ I merely wished to be courteous.” She turned around again and again her eyes flashed as she said: “If you speak to me again I’ll tell the conductor.” Now, then, I assert on my solemn oath that the girl had over 700 freckles on her face, a stub nose, red hair, along, bony neck and two of her front teeth were gone. She couldn’t have reasoned that I was struck with her beauty, or was about to propose an elopement, or intended to fol low her and carry her off to some cave, just as novelists have pirates and brigands do. I’d like Miss Dickinson to explain why she wouldn’t let me be obliging snd civil. ’ These are not the only cases. I’ve been rebuffed so often that now when I see a woman galloping around the depot to fall over sachels and run over trunks in her wild efforts to find her missing bundles I’m secretly glad and earnestly hope she’ll miss the train. If I sit in a car and hear them anxiously asking each other if it is the right train I hope it isn’t—hope they’ll get carried a thousand miles out of their route. If I notice one trying to pub down the ear-window and it refuses to budge I look the other w av, and hope the cold stream of air will give her the quick consumption and devastate a happy hearthstone. Let Miss Dickinson remember that I wanted to be courteous, civil and obliging, but that her sex drove me’ into being selfish and mean.—“ M. Quad,” in N. i. Graphic.

“All Bun Down.”

This is an expression that we hear from doctors when they aro in doubt about the nature of the disease of their patients. The country seems to be filled with such cases, and they are trying first one remedy and then another, hoping in vain to find relief. They generally have the following symptoms: A general depression of spirits, with evil forebodings, a whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly, foul breath, with a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning, pain in the sides and back, urine scanty and high colored, frequently voided with difficulty, frequent headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit of the stomach, food affording no nourishment. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep affords but little rest After a time a dry, hacking cough seta in, followed after a time with expectoration, hands and feetcold and clammy at times, a general wasting of the body. In such cases we need a remedy that will act upon the liver/kidneys, stomach and blood at the same time, and when we use such a remedy it affords relief.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Strop,, for the Cure of Consumption, Coughs and Colds. The great virtue of this medicine is that it ripens the matter and throws it out of the system, purities the blood, and thus effects a cure. Schenck’s Sea Wbbd Tonic, for the Cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, etc. The Tonic produces a healthy action of the stomach, creating an appetite, forming chyle, and curing the most obstinate cases of indigestion. , Schenck’s Mandbake Pills, for the Cure of Liver Complaint, etc. These pills are alterative and produce a healthy action on the liver without the least danger, as they are free from calomel, and yet more efficacious in restoring a healthy action of the liver.

The Biggest Bet of the Missouri State Fair.

Five thousand dollars against a two-thou-sand dollar wager was offered by the Proprietors of the Jilz Well Auger that it would bore a hole of the same size faster and easier than any other well auger on exhibition, and we learn that this is a standing offer for one year. Who will accept it?.. See their advertisement in another column.

The abundant presence of salt in the intestinal canal is hostile to almost all intestinalparasites; but it is only hostile to parasitic worms which it cannot immediately reach, because it gives a vigor to the health that is unfavorable to their development and existence within the body. If, instead of getting food seasoned with salt, as well as having the salt-cellar at table to take as many pinches from as we may wish for, we had to get our salt by licking a piece of rock-salt, and if, moreover, there were several others behind us who were impatiently pushing us out of the way in order to have their turn at the piece of rock-salt, we think it is very likely that we should not get salt enough, for our health, and that many more of us would suffer from worms than do now.— Prairie Farmer.
