ROSEBURG REVIEW FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1887. BEGINNING A LIBRARY. A Few Reliable Suggestion on the Proper Selection or Book. There conies a time in the life of most young readers when he or she is anxious tto own a library. The desire is often frustrated, sometimes by poverty, but as frequently by a wrong idea as to what wakes a library. Middle-aged readers gaze somewhat sadly, now and then, upon a collection of books which, years ago, they labeled "My Library." It has not grown; it has been but little used; and the owner is seldom drawn to it If is simply a number of bound volumes placed upon shelves. When the reader began it he thought that a collection of books made a library. He added volume after volume; felt a a pride in seeing the collection increase, and one day woke up to the fact that he had no mental use for a lot of books gathered without a purpose and ar ranged upon no plan. If a young per son would own a library he should begin by gathering books which he can, will and must use. His pocket money may amount to onlv a few dollars: but he will act judiciously if he spends every penny of it for one book, which he will use frequently rather than for a dozen books, the only parts of which he really admires are the backs and covers. ' Nine boys out of ten will act wisely if they make an unabridged dictionary the "corner-stone'" of their libraries. To purchase it may devour the savings of a year, but the dictionary will prove a good investment, even at that cost Let the next purchase be a good atlas, one that represents the earth, and not merely that portion of it known as the United States of America. There are some things happening every day out Bide of this country, which is not the only : stage on which tragedies, melo dranias and farces are enacted. The dictionary and atlas should be supple mented by a biographical dictionary, by a dictionary of dates, and bv Brewer's "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.',' j With these five books a boy or girl 5 prepared to read intelligently the n J At-T r m paper ami mommy magazine, g , Bure, the library is very small, y" is daily used it will increase JuT The intelligent readip-yi news paper or magazine incluteS the habit, which every young reader should form, of consulting the library of five volumes to learn the meaning of words and allusions, the position of places, the time of historical events, the peculiarities of persons mentioned in the periodicals. Then let no one of these pass without challenging it to stand, while you learn all about it Reading in this way, you will soon find it necessary to increase ' the small library by adding to it an encyclopedia. Snmfl ff i.haea mntr canm trr nnctlir fni the ordinary purse, but the least costly will be an acquisition of the right sort The library, thus increased by a healthy growth, may be enlarged by adding, from time to time, any book which responds to the reader's bent of mind, or gratifies his desire for knowledge or for mental exhilaration. There are times when every reader desires to be taken out of himself and away from his surroundings. The book which enables him to fiy away and be at rest, and then returns him without injury to his every-day life, is a serviceable book. "My library,' says an intelligent writer, "should grow with my mind, my taste and my desire for knowledge. It thus Tjecomes my serviceable friend, to whom I may turn for instruction, refreshment and exhilaration. I know it; and it seems so real a companion fhn.t, T mnsn if it is not tb Kiilstanr of what is, and I only the Bhadow of what may be." Tomb's Companion. Genuine Boston Frugality. A laughable story is told at the ex pense of a Boston gentleman, who came with a party of excursionists to the coast When the Bostonian had been duly dusted, and all traces of travel carefully removed from his immaculate broadcloth and shining beaver, he turned to the affable porter with a benign smile, and vouchsafed: "Well, I suppose you want something for your trouble," and, drawing out his portly wallet, he took therefrom two bright new pennies, and with the air of a man who was doing rather more than was expected of him, or the occasion de manded, presented them to the porter. A look of puzzled astonishment over spread the features of the African, as nothing smaller than the five-cent nickel circulates here; but as soon as he re gained speech he passed them back with the remark: "We has no use for them here, sah!" "O," replied the frugal New Englander, "keep them, keep them; you may go East some time." San Francisco Cor. Jamestotvn Journal. A Little Tot's Cruel Remark. Children are very sympathetic. There's one quite young who's got an aunt whom she loves very dearly, but the child does not understand every thing. The aunt is single, but she does not hope to be so long, although judg ing by the child's remarks the position of wife is likely to be a very trying one. The gentleman who is the object of fluttering interest has been in the habit of making long and frequent calls. These calls the child has studied with 3ome regard to the aunt she adores. The last one the child assisted at ended abruptly. "Aunty," she said, sadly, "which would you rather do, talk to Mr. Jones or go to a funeral?" Mr. Jones felt like making a subject for a funeral right then. San Fran Cisco Chronicle. There is a man in Wellington so short that when he is ill he doesn't know whether he has the headache or corns. Winjkld Tribute. I t was a very sincere prayer which a little fellow made recently when he said, "0 Lord, make me a good boy. And if at first you don't- succeed, try, try again." There is also a good deal of wisdom in the prayer. Said a lailroad conductor to his wife, a pious woman: "We need Sunday so badly. No one can tell how homesick and desolate I feel while passing along and hearing the church-bells ringing Sabbath." " WHITE furniture: " now a Bright Woman Created a Unique and Beautiful Apartment. No sooner had we furnished our houses in somber colors with dark ma hogany aud early English furniture of black oak, which appeared worm-eaten, if it really was not, when, lo! the dealers inaugurate a perfect craze in white fur niture, light-colored upholstered goods, and from the dignified and aristocratic English or colonial styles we become imbued with the period of Louis Quinzc. However, the dark rich furniture is too beautiful to give up without a struggle, and fashion now dictates that those who can afford it shall have each room in their residence furnished to represent not only a distinct period, but a certain country as well. Thus we have English rooms, French rooms, colonial, Egyp tian and Japanese apartments, accord ing to the purse or fancy. The first "white room" built in New York of any prominence is the music room in the Villard mansion, now owned and occupied by Mr. White-law RoiJ. The floor is "highly polished in light colored woods, and the entire apartment is of ivory white, picked out with gold, and in the panels tf the walls medallions of lutes, ribbons and scrolls of music. A hand some "white room" has the iloor of polished wood, with here and there a white Astrakhan nip;; the furniture is of white, picked out with gold, up holstered in white satin brocade; the curtains and other draperies, are of white plush embroidered with gold: the picture frames arc white and cold white easel stands in ne corner an white and gold piano. It makes a most beautiful apartment. Not long ago the writer described this room to a clever young wife who lives in an adjacent town. She has comparatively lillte money, but excellent taste; recently she invited me to see her "white room, which she surprised me by stating was all the result of her own ingenuity and cost but little The wood floor had been stained and polished to look like cherry, and several white fox rugs, which cost about $3.50, were laid ' i" -e and there. She had bought sev- r the tripod-legged tables with . ' . The lejrs sho painted white ' lines, using tht? liquid gilding. .is were covered with white plush, a avc ther with white felt, with yellow satin bows at the corners and gold fringe. She also made a mantel scarf of while plush, trimmed with yellow bows. An old-fashioned high-backed kitchen chair she painted white and made for it a vellow plush cushion One of the. ordinarv Shaker roekinsr chairs was also painted white and gold, and aver the red nd black braided scat she had tacked white felt, with some yellow flower"" crfibroidercd upon it, while the bae was decorated with a yellow Chinese "s-'-arf. Plants grew in common flovluj oW painted white; an easel was m. of pine, painted white, while over the mantel was an old-fashioned oval mirror, such as were used fifteen years ago. Between the windows she had hung the mirror lengthwise and painted its common black walnut frame white, looping a white silk scarf, with gold figures, around it A milking stool, also painted white, with a bunch of yellow flowe painted upon the seat, stood in a corner; at tne winuows were wliite China silk curtains, tied back with yellow bows. These curtains, being of the same material as silk handkerchiefs, of course wash as well. Old disused walnut picture frames were also painted and gilded to match the other articles. And a beautiful wall bracket was made of a square of pine board, to which was nailed three little shelves put on irregularly like three steps. This also was painted white, gilded on the edges of the shelves and hung up by screw eyes, which were con cealed by yellow bows a pretty yellow. A Leeds vase was one of the ornaments, a white candlestick which held a yellow twisted candle, a choice bit of Royal Worcester, which were among the pos sessions, and, of course, other orna ments about the apartment A bird sang in a brass cr y , harmonizing with the decorations, f ic rffeet was like fairyland, and ii Jit of this fact the pretty owner o' all informed us that this charming resuli was reached at a cost not exceeding twenty-five dollars. It would be difficidt to say which was the more beautiful, the "white room," with its gorgeousness and white piano, which apartment cost in the neighbor hood of $10,000, or that of the pretty vounjr housewife who, with little money but much taste and industry, had crea ted an apartment unique, beautiful and, better than all. showing her own indi- vW N.

The process consists simply in laying off the two diameters on two edges of the board and meas uring diagonally from one to the other. If a carpenter's square is handy the process is reduced to the simple diagonal measurement In case there art; three or more pipes to be led into one, any two of then may be converted into an equivalent one, and this one may be added to the other.

A Creaking Hinge Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied, after which it moves easily. When the joints, or binges, of the body are stiffened and inflamed by Rheumatism, they can not be moved without causing the most excruciating pains. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, by its action on the blood, relieves this condition, and restores the joints to good working order. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has effected, in our city, many most remarkable cures, in cases which baffled the efforts of the most experienced physicians. Were it necessary, I could give the names ol many individuals who have been cured by taking this medicine. In my case it has worked wonders, relieving me of Rheumatism, after being troubled with it for years. In this, and all other diseases arising from impure blood, there is no remedy with which I am acquainted, that affords such relief as Avct's Sarsaparilla. R. H. Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me of Gout and Rheumatism, when nothing else would. It has eradicated every trace of disease from my system. R. H. Short, Manager Hotel Belmont, Lowell, Mass. ; I was, daring many months, a sufferer from chronic Rheumatism. The disease afflicted me grievously, in spite of all the remedies I could find, until I commenced using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took sev eral bottles of this preparation, and was speedily restored to health. J. Fream, Independence, Va. tt Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Prepared by Dr. J. C.Ayer&Co.,Ixwell,Mass. !
