THE REAL VALUE..
How All Iterator la Contained la '
Few Great Book..
1'oung people must every now and;
then hear it said or see it written thatj
all the real value in literature can be
put upon a small sbelf-that is to say.j
the really imrK.rtant part of all that is:
written is contained ln a very fewj
gcxxl lxxks, all the rest being either(
unimportant or Qinrerent ways or say-,
m tne same uungs mat nave oeen
said before. The statement, of course.;
is not true if it be Uken literally.!
There ure certainly many hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of books that con
tain original thoughts or experiences
that are truly valuable; but, generally
speaking, the bst part of all that has
been written is to be fousd in a few
volumes. To understand bow this is
possible we must remember that near
ly all rules are the same as other and
simpler rules. In arithmetic, for ex
ample, the whole science consists of
only four simple ways of treating num-
liers. We can add, subtract, multiply
and divide, and that is all we can do
to numbers. The rest of the book is
only the working out of these four ;
rules: thus all of the arithmetic could
easily be put into a little page that j
oni could carry ln the vest pocket. j
All liehavior, all right living, is also i
set forth in a few simple laws. These !
illustrations will show what is meant I
by saying that all literature is contain-
ed ln a few. great lxxks. The Bible j
and the works of a few famous poets
and essayists contain all human wis
dom, and these are within the reach of
every purse. St. Nicholas.
THE WARLIKE MOROS.
TJiey Ple Their Weapon and Woold
Rather Fight Thau Eat.
An Inordinate military conceit is a
dominant quality of the Moro. To him
there is but one measure of defeat to
wit, annihilation. If beaten, he ex
pects nothing less; if he meets less, he
has saved tbe day. perhaps won a vic
tory. They are all of one profession
arms. As children their first toys are
wooden arms, their first instruction the
play of the sword and the spear. What
ever else as men they may be priest,
farmer, robber, pirate, merchant, law
yer they are always, first, soldiers.
For a young man to lose his creese
mcan3 to lose his right to marry, and
it is the desire of all to die creese in
hand. In fear of loss they sleep on
these precious arms or with them tied
to the body. For the same reason their
cannon are kept lashed to timbers ln
their houses.
Firearms, indeed, are their main dan
ger with civilized people. If they see
the opportunity thereby to secure such
arms, Moros can never resist the temp
tation to rob and murder. To g?t them
they will risk all, lose all and never
whimper. To them without the best
arnm death were preforable.Major R.
L. Ballard In Metropolitan.
The Inns of Old England.
Efforts were continually being made
ln England to keep down the number
of inns. In the reign of Edward I.

aries on everjg York might have

roar'ristol six and Oxford three.
J-vSese regulations must have been set
at naught in a very wholesale manner,
for half a century later there were 400
"houses of call" in that part of London
known as the City and no fewer than
twenty-four clustered round Covent
Garden. In mediaeval Oxford It was
ruled that no "victualer" was eligible
for the office of mayor, and this term
included an innkeeper.
Thackeray nod Dickens.
This is the way George Henry Lewes
once characterized Thackeray and
Dickens in the way of service to a
friend: Dickens, he said, would not
give you a farthing of money, but he
would take no end of trouble for you.
He would spend a whole day, for in
stance, in looking for the most suitable
lodgings for you and would spare him
self neither time nor fatigue. Thacke
ray would take two hours' grumbling
Indecision and hesitation ln writing a
two line testimonial, but he would put
his hand into his pocket and give you a
handful of gold and bank notes if you
wanted them.

Bowling is one of our games that
originated in the middle ages. The ex-
act date of its introduction is obscure,
I but it has been clearly traced to the
tuirteenth century. The first bowling
greens were made in England. In bad
w-ather these could not be used to ad-
vantage, and this led to the construe-
tien of covered bowling alleys.

LACE- BARK TREES.

There are in ail alxut half a A-izen.
Iace bark ia tlie W(riJ, so called
because the inner bark vields a natural
ace ln ready made sheet fornir
can be made up ia icpable articles
of apparel. Onlv four of these curious
epecieg of trees are of much i-ractical
value.
Tourists wh have stopped at j

of a neat brown color wneEl new of re.
markable strmirth and of a fraCTant
odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf.
The native tapa cloth, as it is called,
is made from the bark of the liruso
cetla papirifera, but it is not usually
included, among the real lace bark
trees. In its natural state the real lace
bark is of a delicate cream white tint.
It is probably a kind of ribrous pith.
When the outer bark is removed it can
be unfolded and unwound in one seam
less piece, having a surface of a little
more than a square yard. Washing
and sun bleaching give it a dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is airilv

up shawls, veils and the like it is cus
tomary to piece two sheets of hire
bark together. Delicate and apparently

UNCONGENIAL FLOWERS.
Mignonette and Hoifi. For Instance,
Will Not Mix.
The florist frowned as he took up an
order for a table decoration. "That
will never do," he muttered. After
calling up the customer and suggest
ing a change, he told his new clerk a
few things.
"You must never take an order that
calls for a mixture of mignonette and
roses," he said. "A centerpiece of
those two flowers wouldn't last half
through the luncheon. They simply
wilt one another. I don't know why,
but they can't get along together.
"It is true of many flowers. Tansies,
for instance, last twice as long if they
are not combined with any other flow
er, and the same may be said of vio
lets. Jonquils and daffodils, on the
other hand, seem to got a new lease
of life if you combine considerable
green with them. Carnations will go
all to pieces if you combine them with
roses, although the roses do not seem
to be affected.
"It is more striking in combinations
of green with flowers. If you try to
use an entirely different type of fo
liage from what the flower is used to,
it won't last so long." So I never put

A Lure For Coclc Robin.
Two coins clinked together give so
good an imitation of the robin's metal
lic note that this device has long been
employed In England to attract the
welcome "harbinger of spring." For
merly male robins' were snared by the
clinking of two copper pennies near a
dummy bird. The dummy was perched
on a twig smeared with bird lime, and
cock robin, attracted by the sound and
suspecting a rival, flew at him with
blood in his eye. This is in violation of
the bird laws in the United States, and
no one who lives where robins make
their home in confidence is likely to
give the odd trick so unpleasant a
finale. The clinking coppers serve a
much more agreeable purpose as a
means of rendering cock robin socia

Song writing is one of the most lu
crative of occupations, provided one
has the knack of appealing to the pop

a better chance of making money by
producing pathetic rather than so called

made three or four fortunes. It has
been the most lasting success on rec

FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Tainful Sorea.
.A felon, or whitlow, is an infiamma
tiou of the hand or finger, usually of
the last joint of the finger. Its Impor
tance varies with the seat of it that is
to siiy, with the portion of the finger
involve,!. It may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the fibrous
covering of the bone the periosteum.
A superficial whitlow, where the in
flammation is confined to the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise It
is i).t a very serious matter. But this
cannot 1 e said of the other two forms.
I:i the tendinous whitlow pus forms
iu the tibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon, and uaiess xhv inflammation
! quiekly subsides or the matter is let
out by the surgeon's knife the pus
may burrow down turougn tne saeatn
into the palm of the hand and result in
a permanent crippling of the member.
Tbe third variety called by phy
sicians the subperiosteal is that in
whieh matter forms beneath the mem
brane which covers the bone. As this
membrane is tough and Inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this inflamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical, although the cut
hurts. This is the only treatment for
this form of felon, and the incision
should be made early, for if it is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which will later necessitate a surgical
operation even if it does not result in
the loss of the last joint of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment.
A clay poultice often affords great re
lief. This may be made by making a
paste of clay previously sterilized by
baking in a very hot oven and adding
glycerin to prevent too rapid drying, or
the clay may be oMained ready prepar
ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger froiu injury, keeps it cool and. If
applied early enough, may prevent the
formation of matter. When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety of the felon, the safest plan
of treatment is to cut into the inflamed
finger and give exit to the confined
matter and relieve the tension of the
parts. Youth's Companion.
Mistaken Idea.
"It may be laid down as a broad
proposition," said the professor of po

something for nothing."
