A gentleman with a trace of sadism in his make-up suggests that one day a year should be observed in the literary world by' the return of borrowed books. He believes that more wandering books would find their way home if there were a publicly recognized time for sending them back. Scrutinizing the scheme with an unfavorable eye, a liter ary critic believes that it would for the off days of the year simply give borrowers an excuse for not tying up their par cels. He objects, also, to saddling any day with a perpetual nun. No plan which might tend to limit book lending would have his approval, for most books, he says, are too little read. He hazards a guess that half the pages to which print is applied are never read. His lack of enthusiasm, may bo better ex plained by his statement that if all of his own books were returned he would have no room for them on his shelves. While this plan may hnve its merits, the percentage of i i.i ...... 1,1 1,,.., 4l, A,.., ,,u ,,,,, r,F llnil faithful would be small.

Perhaps another commandment or a new amendment covering the situation would help eliminate t this social, or rather unsocial, evil. BLESSED RE DRUDGERY i It is hard to believe. So many of those whose work is some form of drudgery complain about it, instead of being thank ful about it, that the notion that drudgery is something to be escaped from if possible has become widely diffused. ' Men conimonely yearn to become rich not because they j may use their riches as a means of serving their fellows but because by means of riches they may be relieved of the ; necessity of work. . j Even tho Scriptures themselves seem to trout work iis.an evil. In the so-called Mosaic account of creation, it is the. penalty that the Lord Imposes upon the rutin and woman in ! the garden for their disobedience. In spite of all this in spite of the seeming opinion of the author of Genesis that the ideal stale is one of idleness, in ; which bread may be eaten otherwise thnn in the sweat of one's brow, it is because we have to go, and go, morning after morning, through rain and through shine, to the ap- pointed spot and do the appointed work; because, and only ; because, we have to slick to that work through the eight or ten hours, long after rest would be so sweet; because the schoolboy's lesson must be leu rued at !) o'clock and learned without a slip; because the accounts on tho ledger must square to a cent; because the goods must tally exactly with the invoice; because gootl temper must be kept with children, with customers, with neighbors; -in sort, without much mat ter what our work be, whether this or that, it is because, and only because of the rut, plod, grind, humdrum in the work that we at last get those necessary self-foundations laid namely, attention, promptness, accuracy, firmness, patience, self-denial and all the rest. The whole make-up of the human being shows, as some body has aptly said, that we are intended for activity. Heboid tho millions of nerves, and the thousands of muscles, in the body ! Work, work, work! I'roduee, produce, produce'. This was tho cry of Thomas Carlyle, and Curlylo was but echoing the mandate, of tho natural law. Nature is not slow to punish the shirkers. Those who live by their wits; those who de spise labor (and the laborer) ; those who undertake to over work the workers in order to be able to live in the greater luxury without any work these are the men whom Nature delights to dishonor. They may build themselves king's houses and surround themselves retinues of servants, 1ml they cannot deceive.

Of the many accredited to him on the subject of Kconomy, probably none is more lo the point lhan his simple quotation . . . "Save and Have!" Three little words but they speak a volume of Truthful Advice! It is not what you earn . . . what financial remuneration Hie world pays you for your labor and skill . . . that counts.
