An English Prince in a fit of rage at
his shoemaker made him eat a pair of
kIiocm which hud fitlWd to fit to bin
bighneett' satisfaction. Ilrther a tough
diet even for a man whose motto i,
"Nothing Ilka leather." But when one
looks at the deformities caused by
ill fitting ehocH, the punwliment scouts

they rxj'T know where the shoe tits.

WHAT DO VOU BEAD?
Thero were published in the
United States in 1888, 5,621 books,
and in the year just past 4014
books. Certainly we are a reading
people But all reading matter, is
not comprised within bound vol
umes. There are more periodicals
and newspapers published in tho
United States than all the rent o!
the world. W'c have books in end
less variety, ranging in price from
the penny pamphlet to the seven
hundred dollar volume of Audu
bon. All this amount of literature,
it is commonplace to Bay, exerts a
powerful influence in forming am'
reforming the character of our civi
lization. It is evident thatonecan
read, even in a life-time, but a
small percentage of a nation's liter
aturc; indeed it is not necessary to
compass this vast body of literature
in order to be what the world calls
accomplished.
The bulk of the publications in
this and perhaps other countries is
of tho sensational type. Society
generally speaking, no longer reads
for edification, but for relaxation
A morbid craving of tho intellect
for stimulants has created a demand
for condiments, rather than for
solid food. This unnatural appe
tite when once acquired unfits tho
mind for grappling the weightier
problems of sober, practical life,
and tends toward effeminacy, if
not imbecility. It was long ago
pointed out by Hitchcock jn "The
wonders of science compared with
the wonders of romance," that
Nature is far more bountiful than
we think. The great Creator has
endowed us with mental faculties
capable of wonderful and illimit
able expansion. He has likewise
piacea us in narmony with our
surroundings. The Almighty hand
has been as bountiful in giving us
an environment in which scope is
given and limits arc set for the
gratification of our faculties.
a i liti-t
A -Dook tnai uoes not euity or
refresh tne mind will not pay for
the reading. The mind is a vast
storehouse and must be fed as well
as the body. It is the opinion of
metaphysicians that no. idea once
lodged in the mind is ever forgot
ten. now important that we store
our minds with knowledge that
will never call forth unpleasant
memories. One of the best cduca
tors in ihia country said, in .speak'
ing of a theological course of study,
that "twoyears spent in a scmina
ry was of great advantage, if the
student learned only what books to
read." This is what is wanted;
not an increased capacity for gath
ering and retaining knowledge, but
the faculty of selecting only such
books as will enrich and strength
en the mind. Be in no hurry to
read every book that is published,
regardless of its merits. It is not
what one eats, but what one assim
ilateH, that makes bone and tissue.
A few cardinal principles well di
gested and interwoven with the
very texture of one's being, are
better than the superficial gleanings
of a lifetime. Reading merely for
diversion or pastime will never add
the cubits to your intellectual
stature.
