110 W TO READ BOOKS.
Books aie multiplied indefinitely
in these days of fast printing
presses, and just what books to
read becomes somewhat of a puz
zling iiuestion. The New Orleans
Picayune gives some information
on that topic by relating that there
is a story of a freshman who stood
undismayed before the long and
lofty array of well-filled shelves in
his college library, and who only
wanted to know where it was usual
to begin. We cannot undertake to
conjecture how long he would have
held out if be had been allowed to
carry out bis heroic intention of
attacking the whole mass in the
order of ita arrangement. There
are dull people who never find
anything to dull to read and whoce
spirit of thoroughness is superior
to entertainment. They are suffi
ciently rewarded when they
say they have read the thing.
fortunately, the art of judicious
skipping is only aniai red by ex
perience, and one must go through
a vast deal of cliatT before he learns
wkere the wheat is stored. Some
thing may be gained, doubtless by
consulting those who have gone
before us through the world's wide
wilderness of books ; but no amount
of good advice can nave us wholly
from a waste of precious time and
eyesight' in that uarter. Some
benevolent persons have of late
made out lists of books that ought
to be read and of books worth read
ing ; but such lists are open to the
criticism that they are not identi
cal. It is, indeed, hardly possible
for one man to tell another what is
worth reading. A question of that
sort mnst be largely determine-1 by
taste and tendency. What is in
teresting to one may piove stale,
flat and unprofitable to another. A
thing to be remembered always is
that what one wants in a book is
not simply instruction or amuse
ment, but suggestion as we'l. If a
writer can help you to be original,
if he can (put you in the way of dis
covery, lJe can help you more than
another who has merely given you
something of his own.
Moreover, a bare list of original
books will not save on from the
fatigue of rer etition and the mon
otony of oft repeated echoes. There
may be in a bulky volume just one
valuable chapter, just one priceless
thought. It is important to skip
not merely books, but the useless
parts of books that are altogether
pointless or commonplace. Young
people are told that they should
finish what they begin lest they
should lose the habit of thorough
ness and that power of persistence
which is requisite to scholarship;
but an enlightened student reads
up his subject and skips what is
irrelevant to the matter in hand
It would be a mistake, however, to
suppose that books are to be read
only for what they directly commit
nicate.or even for what they suggest
in the line of their proper subject
matter. A great deal may be
learned from reading books, and
particularly old books, between
the lines. To understand the past
we must get at its way of thinking,
ita prevalent habit of mind, its
standards of taste, its ideals. A
Nation's literature is largely, if not
whelly, the explanation of its his
tory, aid its very mistakes are
luminous when contemplated from
that point of view. Livy, for in
stance, travels far beyond the
bounds of sober history, and
lingers long in the region of myth
and legend; but that part of his
work is by no means worthless, for
the traditions of a people, however
incredible they may have become,
illustrate its character and disclose
something of its inspiration. Many
readers, perhaps the majority,
follow Mr. Andrew Lang's aimless
plan, and read only what interests
them. We cannot go so far a to
indorse that desultory course
without qualification; for one may
A HATTER OF IMPORTANCE.
can , tion
In-
One of the principal enterprises
now on foot, in which the entire
Pacific coast is more thoroughly
concerned than any other, is the
completion of the Tehuantepec
canal, and the construction of a
practical and complete system of
transportation by the way of the
isthmus route.
It means the lessening, in a very
material sense, of the time of
reaching; a market for our cereal
crop, ana also me great bouy 01
freight in manufactured articles
from the Eastern states.
Doubly it means an enormous
lessening, to the producers and
consumers on this coast, of the
transportation tariffs now borne
by them. A well posted Cali
fornia banker iu a recent talk up
on the matter said that the com
pletion of that canal would be a
saving of six millions annually to
California. Taking the statement
as a fact, for the whole coast the
saving may be reckoned at not
leas than nine millions. With
that view of the case, it most cer
tainly becomes a matter of great
importance.
Viul why is it not looked after
mora closely and the construction
and completion of the great work
pushed on to a more rapid finish ?
an anyone answer that question ?
Has the matter been pushed
forward in congress in as rapid a
manner as its importance would
suggest, and has the Pacific coast
delegation evinced that interest
in the matter that the question
demands?
A negative to theee questions
then cans lor a reason lor the ac-
or lack of action, and that
reason will perhaps be hard to
fully explain. Certain it is that
no such state of a I lairs should be
allowed to exist, for where such
universal interests exists, there
should most certainly be a concert
of action, and a decided one at
that.
No cessation of construction or
dimunition of zeal and activity in
its prosecution, should be allowed,
and congress should see to it that
all rcqcisite encouragement is
given, and that all possible dili
gence is -?ed in forwarding the
wors.
