Then tt alckenliiR thought struck her,
and she ilnrlcd up the stairs.
It had been Mrs. Spauldlng'a custom
during the boyhood of her only son to
correct his fallings by posting about
the house little placards which gently
pleaded with him on the error of his
way.. A wii'k or two earlier, when
Dick was coming home for tt college
vacation, she had unearthed some of
these old slgna and Just for n Joke had
pinned them up In his room, like old
times. They had been taken dowr.
later, but ahe retnemltered now that,
after being summoned to the sick
friend the morning before, ahe had led
her new-alid not brllllant-tnald to
Dlck'a door and had Bald: "I want
thia room swept and arranged for Bish
op Maxwell exactly aa we did It for
Mr. Dick hist week. Do you under
stand?" With wings on her feet Mrs. Spauld
Ing flew to the room the bishop had oc
cupied, but at the threshold ahe paused
and gasped.
On one of the pillows was a staring
notice to this effect: 'Tlense put your
bed airing In the morning!" Over the
mirror, "Please don't spatter the glass:"
On the window curtain, "Please don't
throw your shoes on the floor noisily!"
Everywhere, on pictures mid wall:
"Please dou't leave your coat ou a
chair. Hang It up!" 'Tlense don't
leave you toothbrush In the bath
room r "Please turn off the hot water
faucet!"
There were at least fifteen of these
placards, the "Please" underlined three
or four times In each, but-fcorror of
horrors the largest of all was this, on
the Inside of the door: "If you take a
bath please wash out the tub. It's dis
graceful not to!" Youth's Companion.

CHAINED BOOKS.
The Cuntoni at One Time Rxtradrd
to I.lnroln'a Inn, Ixindoa.
When one looks In bookshop window
nowadays and contemplates the be
wildering abundance of volumes of al!
kinds of literature offered at the low
price of $l.iio or less he fiuds it ditll
cult to realize that time was wheD
a Bible tiist us much as ?10.ij(i0 In out
present money. No wonder it was kept
chained In churches. The Black Books
of Lincoln's Inn, London, show that this
practice of chaining obtained there.
There Is nn entry during the reign of
King James 1. "that decent stooles be
provided and that movetrble desks be
also made and chains for the book,"
and a few years later the inn payments
include 20 shillings for twenty dozen
of chains and riugs for the library, and
there is a fresh order made that "all
considerable bookes be cbayned."
It appears that none of the existing
books In the library retain their chains
or any part of them, but a considerable
number about forty still have riveted
to the binding the ring or hasp by
which the chain was attached, and
many more show the mark left by
rings now removed.
The "moveable desk" and the "de
cent stoole" were essential appurte
nances of a chained library of any size.
Even the zeal of a mediaeval student
was not equal to holding a chained
folio. In the accounts of the Middle
Temple "chayns for the bokes of the
librarle" la a constantly recurring Item,
and a render in Gray's Inn In bequeath
ing his library gives 4i shillings to the ,
intent that he the trustee "male by I
chaynes fasten so many of them in the
librarle at Cray's Inn as be shall thlnke
convenyente."
