Joseph Cook On Reading.
Personally, I have learned to rely on
the margins of the books that I read
as being themselves the best note
books. Of course I am speaking now
only of the volumes which are my own
properly. These I am perhaps scan
dalously free in marking, and so every
ordinary volume that I have in my
library becomes a note-book. If one
indicates the important and more im
portant and most important passages
in a book, even if it be by one or two
or three lines in the margin, and if
one then makes it an inflexible rule
to commit to memory from every one
of the volumes thus marked all the
three line passages, he will very soon
find that his annotated volumes are in
his head. In committing to memory
the three line passages, I should ad
vise evrey one, as I do myself, to oblige
himself to review and pretty nearly
commit to memory the two line and
the one line passages. These may net
be numerous in some volumes, and
yet in works that are only to be read
with the fingers are worth memorizing.

It is said that Carlyle reads on the
average, a dozen books a day. Of
course he examines them chiefly with
his fingers, and after long practice, is
able to find at once the jugular vein
and carotid artery of any author.
John Quincy Adams was said to have
“ a carniverous instinct for the jugu
larvein ” of an argument. In discus
sing the secret of memory, we first
have interist inducing attention, and
then the skill given by experience in
' finding the jugular vein. My habit is
to mark on the inner margin all the
passages with which I disagree, and
thus many volumes which I am_„ob-
liged to read, are transformed into
thorn-bushes full of spurs to debate.
The shelf of my library on which I
have collected the chief infidel writer’
works of thé last hundred years, hold«
volumes plentifully marked in this
way. The three line passages I have
committed to memory as being enor
mous and most mischievous errors.
This plan of marking volumes can be
made very elaborate, and every reader
must invent his marks for himself.
My enthusiasm led me to have alto
gether too elaborate a system of mark
ing. But at present I am convinced
that for myself I need only six marks
—those for important, wore impor
tant, and most important passages,
which I mark on the outside margin ;
and those for error, and more and
most important errors, which I mark
on the inside. I turn down the leaf
at the top of the page for the first-class
passages that are to be memorized,
and at the bottom for the second-rate
passages. Standard books I like to
buy in portable and compact and yet
cheap editions, on which I can use a
pencil without sacrilege. I always
go through the book, fastening in
mind the places marked, when I have
finished the first journey,
A word now as to note books, and
volumes that you do not own. Of
course a borrowed book cannot be
marked, and probably in that -case
Channing’s method is the best one to
read with «lips of paper between the
leaves. In his pigeon holes these slips
of paper, on which he made notes as
he read, were arranged according to
the subjects, and as they accumulated
from year to year ; and when ho was
engaged upon any particular topic,
they accumulated with great rapidity.
I am obliged to read extensively in li
branes not my own, and my plan is to
make notes on common paper with a
margin turned down at the left hand
side. I never put more than one sub
ject on one piece of paper ; and every
week or fortnight the slips thus eb-
tained are filed or pinned together ac
cording to the subjects, thus my note
book thickens ; but if convenience re
quires, can be unstitched and rear
ranged. It appears to me to be fool
ishness to keep ordinary note-books in
thick, bound manuscript volumes
which cannot be taken before a pub
lie assembly, er used in separate parts.
I am obliged to carry note-book«,
with me on the railways, and am il-
ways provided with the simplest kind
of note paper. Of course these leaves
can be easly put into the form of
note-books, which can be rearranged
if necessary ; and I find it best never
to bind them, I wish often to unbind
them. A passage which I think I
-shall quote in print from any book, I
am accustomed to write lengthwise of
the paper—that is, from the bottom te
the top ; a passage I think I shall not
quote, I writs the other way. All
slips written from the bottom to top
are first-class matter ; and I can easi
ly take them out of my note-books,
and put them into manuscripts intend
ed forth# press. I am obliged to do
this sometimes in great haste, and find
it important to have my' note-books
unbound. If I had to keep notes,
in bound volumes, the infelicity of
tearing out leaves would be unavoida
ble, as there would be no time for
copying.— Christian Unian.
Rose Management.
A very successful rose grower sends
to a friend the folloing account of his
style of managing the rose. The friend
say? his plants are one mass of bloom
from November till late Bpring. - His
method is as follows :
• “ Yeu ask me how I manage my
roses to have bloom in early spring.
I prefer two year old plants, but use
good, strong one year old ones, if com
pelled to do so. I plant my roses out
in the garden in the spuing and don’t
allow them to bloom during the sum-
mer. About the last week in August
or the first of September, take them
up with all the soil that will hang to
them, pot and place in a very shady
place for about two weeks out of doors,
watering and sprinkling all the time.
I now expose them to the sun, until
the foliage falls off. All this time they
will be making new roots and the
tops will be at rest. When the leaves
have fallen, prune them. Cut back
the young growth a little and then cut
out the center. Place them in the
greenhouse. I would place the plants
in the middle of house, but if they are
on benches over the pipes, put two
inches or more of sand under the pets,
Do not attempt to force them too
much, but give all the air possible in
the daytime. Great care should be
taken not to sour the Boil; syringe
often. Soil is Very important. If it
be possible, get a lot of sods from the
cow pasture, three or four inches thick,
put them in a heap and add to them
as one to four of cow and horse ma-
nure; turn this compgst over three or
times during the summer breaking up
the sod each time. I never screen my
soil for roses, nor do I use drainage in
the bottom of my pots, but simply the
old fibrous roots that I find in the soil
at the time of potting. Turn out all
of your roM as early in the spring as
possible, prune off the long roots and
follow directions as above given, and
I will ensure you abundance of flow
ers from November until March. I
prefer to have my roses too dry rather
than too wet.”— Gardener's Monthly.
P opulation of G reece .—If increase of
population, always and under all circum
stances, can be taken as a proof of increas
ing prosperity, the Kingdom oi Greece
Las, since its liberation from the Turkish
yoke, entered with prodigious speed on its
career of development. According to a
report recently published by the Statistic
al Bureau io Athens, the population of the
country numbered 650,000 in 1833 ; 1,457,-
896 in 1869; and 1,900.000 in 1879 ; that is,
it has Been treblod in less than fifty ye«T».
In 1868, th« Ionian Islands, with 240,000
inhabitant«, were incorporated with the
Kingdom, but with th« exception of thia
on« mechanical addition to the population
the inereaee i« de« to »he vitality of the
nation. Other figure« from the aame re
port also ahow the vigor of the devtlop-
ment. Athena had ¡only 12,000 inhabitanta
in 1883 ; it has now 80,000. Patras, t»>e
principal city of the Peloponneeus, had
only 8000; it has now 34,200 ; and Piraeus,
which has now 21,600 inhabitant«, did not
exist at all iu l°3d.
My Rosary.
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS
■■11» only fTricti who owns the day.“— Emerson.
So I am rioh, for my days go by
Like the beads of a royal rosary—
This one amber, and that one gold,
Slipping away as the prayer is told.
Here a carving of somber jet,
Making its comrades fairer yet;
There an opal, flashing dim,
Set in a tarnished silver rim.
Flame of topaz and gleam of pearl—
How they shimmer, and burn, and, whirl f
Sliding adown the aiJken thread,
Till, all the Avee at last are said.
The summer come« and the spring-tide
goes
. -
With perfect bloom and the summer’«
rose;
The season« shift, with rain and shine—
But, dark or bright, the days are mine.
And when my fingers have loosed their
hold
On these glanoing knots, of amber and
gold,
I gather them up like a pious nun
Whose ended duty is'just began. 4
And I read th >ir story over again—
The daily trifles of joy and pain,
Furnishing np each treasure-trove—
This one Vanity, that one Love.
How do I know that the days are mipe ?
How do I know that the rain and shine
Mean what they ought ? that I truly hold
The very heat of the amber and gold ?
It is so easy to laugh and say
"The day« are mine,” as they slip away ;
But out of their»fullneas, I know too well,
I have lost—ah ! what, I scarce oan tell.
They held so much, and I let it go ;
They were so bright, and I lost the glow—
Always something slips away
With each precious bead of my rosary.
—K atb M. B ishop , in The Californian.
Beyond.
Never a word is said*
Bat it tremble« in the airl*
And the truant voice has b
To vibrate everywhere,'
And perhaps far off in eternal years
Thqecho may ring upon onr ears.
Never are kind acts done
To “wipe the weeping eyes, .
But like flashes of the Sun,
They signal to the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need.
Never a day is given,
But it tones the after years,
And it carries up to ■ heaven
Its sunshine or its tears:
While the to-morrows stand and wait,
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end to the sky,
And stars are everywhere.
And time is eternity.
And the here is over there;
For the common deeps of the common day,
Are ringing bells in the far-away,
—H enry B urton , in Sunday Magazine.
.
There is no valid excuse for juvenile
smoking. A man pleads habit, the sooth
ing eff. eta of tobacco, and so on. But a
boy smokes beoaase he sees others do so,
and because be looks upon smoking as a
manly practice. He knows that it doee
him no good; indeed, in the majority of.
cases boys know that their first attempts
at smoking made them very ill, and the
tolerance of the effects of tobacco was ob
tained only after long practice and many
disagreeable sensations.
The mental
power of many a boy is certainly weakened
by tobacco smoking. The brain under its
influence can do less work, and the dreamy
feelings which is produced tends directly
to idleness. For all reasons it is desirable
that onr rising generation should be ab
stainers from tobacco.— Doubt in University
Magazine.

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK MKADACHB.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver,
TjAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and aebility ; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satished that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown tFic liver to have.been exten
sively deranged.
