WHAT PEOPLE ItEAD.-
What Moutpollor pooplo read, to n
cortaiu oxtout, is showu by tho roport
of tho Kollogg-Hubbard library. Tho
following is tho clnssiflcntiou of books
takou from tho library during tho yoar
roportod :
Fiction, lO.COl; juvouilo flctiou, 8,

Ont of soiuo 38,000 books takou to
thoir homoB, 28,000 woro storios, for
old uud youug. About throo-fourths
rolatod to nothiug iu partioular, nnd
probably tho samo proportiou of tho
roadors of theso books coald toll noth
iug iu particular of wiiat thoy had
road. Tho bouofit to tliom, oxcept iu
tho uiattor of killiug tinio, was uil
rnthor a uogativo bouflt.
To tho 8,000 aud ovor roadors of
"gouoral" litorntnro, tlio olnss noxt

who wish tho risiug or tho rison

about seron por cout of tho wiiolo, but
as a vory Buiall purcoutago of tlio good
pooplo of a city of tho Soriptnres wus
euough to suvo tho wholo, this small
proportiou of peoplo who huvo fouud
dolight iu so ratiouul uud ijrofitnblo
reading as history, biography aud
travols niuy justify tho oxistoiice of
tho library uud tlio cost of muinton
auco. Uoligion, with its loss thau 0110 por

moroy of tho Lord, but in thoso do
gcuurato days tho Lord Iiub ubuuduut

for grioviug ovor their wuywurdnef.s.
Tho 000 dovoteos of scieueo, und ovou
tho 100 worshipors of tho usoful arts,
rolnforoo tho plea for morcv. As to
tho li)0 philosophorB, tho 570 sociolog
ists, tho respootablo uniubor of dov
oteos of litoraturo aud tho little baud
of philnlogists, tho haud of tho cyuio
is stuyod, but iu tho statouiout of tho
roport that thoro lins boou 11 "grow

eucouragomout to liope that tho library
may bo upproaehiug noaror tho thresh
hold of a usoful uiissiou.
Tho oxtout to which ourront flotiou
overtops ovorything olno is uppalliug.
Tlfo tasto for this sort of litoraturo is
akin to tho driuk ovil or tho opinm
liabit amoiig physieal ovils. It is lit
orary dissiputiou. Tho deplorablo
foature of currout flctiou readiug is

Thoro is uo irouclad prohibitioil of
