WHAT YOUNG AMERICA READS.
Tha Public Libraries Doing ImmriiM
Cool for Future ienratlunii.
To nHcertain what tho great army of
New York's young folks read, n rei)ortor
vi.slted the leacling libraries of the nietroi)-lAi.-t
and conversed with the librarians
and readers. It In a mistake to suppose
that tho children aro not critical, and will
read everything put before them; on the
contrary, they arc the mout critical and
exuding of all rentiers.
"At what age do children ask you for
book.s?" was a.sked of a librarian 'who has
made a study of chiMren'K literature.
"Well," answered the lady, smiling,
"our rules do not permit the giving of
book's to children under 12 years of age,
but so anxious are the little things to
read that many of them come hero on tho
day before their 12th birthday so as to
Make sure of the reading privilege.
Many of the lKxks taken out are actually
read by younger brothers and sisters not
12 years old."
At the Apprentices' library the writer
': i informed that a number of childr. n
only 10 years old were readers of books.
The boys teem to be tho greatest de
voiircrs of books. Home regularly read
one look a day, and would read more if
i:l!;wed. The boys aro especially fond of
history, fiction, tales of travelers and tea
f.torics. Ono little tot recently atked for
a hook "where they light on water."
The girls are also very fond of fiction
i!id fairy tales. It is found that the boys
not only read much faster than the girls,
but read more of tho solid clat-s of litera
ture. The majority of girls read ro
mance;;, especially sensational ones. Some
of them like poetry, for which boys as a
rule do not care. A small percentage of
the boys icad books of popular science,
and works which may be useful in trade
and business. This class of reading Is al
most entirely neglected by the girls. Hoys
rent I a good deal of tho standard litera
ture. Uickens is very popular among
them, but where the taste for higher lit
erature is at all developed American au
thors like Irving and Cooper come in for
a good share of popularity.
I looks and magazines containing pict
ures aro in very much demand by both
sexes. Children tlo not care for so called
religions or Sunday school books. I5ook3
which attempt to convey moral lessons of
tho goodcy goodey kind are given the
cohl shoulder. Due of the librarians as
sured the writer that such books
would never be read if the youth
ful readers were not sometimes mis
led by the authors. There does not seem
to be any special difference of taste
caused by the varying nationalities of the
children's parents. Children of German
parentage form a large proportion of tho
readers, and it is noticeable that no mat
ter what the parentage of the children is,
the latter all prefer books in the English
language. Colored children are also mini
bered among the readers. Children of
Jewish parentage seem to be especially
fon I of leading books in which things
that may lie useful to them in trade or
business are combined with amusement
or set forth in an attractive, popular
form. There is a considerable love of art
among children, not of course of art as
art, but the pictures and woodcuts.
Some boys are careless and soil books,
but as a rule they are fairly clean with
them; but girls are far cleaner and neater
than the boys in this respect. Of course
boys, if permitted, would read the highly
sensational "blood and thunder" tales,
and girls would read the highly seasoned
sensational romances, but all snob books
are carefully kept out of the public libra
ries. "When the taste for good literature
is ence awakened the boy and girl find no
difficulty in satisfving it. Xew York
Press.
Tho Result of Debt.
A Japanese proverb says that a friend at
hand is better than all your relations at a
distance, so a little money in your pocket
is belter than all the credit in tho world.
It is astonishing sometimes how much a
little monty will buy, and equally sur
prising how quickly a bill readies a hun
dred, and yet we may have little to show
for it. One purchasing on credit buys
rashly and generously; he does not think
of pay day, which seems far off, certain
like death, but as remote and intangible.
It is so easy to buy things in this way,
cmo hardly stops to count the cost; by
this method it almost seems as if all the
things we covet grew on trees, and all we
had to do was to put out her hands; we
Ft em to be fed and clothed as if by a
miiv.cle, and it is surely a miracle if we
pay the bill duo in due season. To con
tract a bill is to contract an obligation, to
give another the advantage; we believe
that half the forgeries and embezzlements
i:i the country are the direct result of
debt. Half the paralysis and heart
disease which ends men's lives in their
heyday may bo traced to the worry con
: couent upon debt; worry kills more peo
ple than work, or love, or any disease.' It
writes wrinkles in tho face, it discolors
the skin, makes the hair fall out and en
courages dyspepsia. Harper's Uazar.
lrti(j Stores of Dresden.
The drug stores have a curious way
here of shutting up Just about the time
you want them. As soon as it begins to
grow dark, down go the iron shutters,
and if you need anything you go toa little
bell handle outside one of the iron shut
ters and ring it. Then you hear some one
at a crank inside, the massive frame rolls
up and a head looks put the 'window.
I inally, the man or boy inside opens part
of the "window, and you talk through a
pane of glass and make known your
wants. Instead of being angry at being
aroused, the man begs your pardon for
keeping you outside, and" says: "r thaik
you for your order."
If you have not the exact change, anil
the man insido ia ia tho same predica
ment, he will beg you most politely and
thank you to allow him to change it.
Having done so, he will thank you for
calling (evidently taking the visit as a
social one), bow, close his little peep hole,
bow again, and then smile sweetly as ho
grinds tlowu his iron shutter anil his smil
ing face is lost to view. Dresden Cor.

The Brotherhood of Man.
The educated man or woman of tho
gentler class, however kindly disposed, too
often speaks to servants, to the poor, or
the criminal, as from a higher plane thas
they occupy, with an affable patronage
which the hearer resents. He never for
gets that the rich and poor are of one
blood, or doubt that circumstances have
made all the difference between them.
That mysterious race, the Romany, have
certain signs and words by which they
recognize each other ia every nation or
condition of life. From one of their own
blcod only will they accept support or
alliance. There is soaiet hing of the Gitana
in nil human beings. Only tha man who
owtiS himself to be our brother can always

EXPERIENCE AS A 1101:313 DENTIST.
"I practiced dentistry on human subje-t.-?
for savc-ral years, tin I for that reason thu
field of horso dentistry was ono that I en
tered easily and naturally. ' Here," con
tinued Dr. Armstrong, shov.-ir.g reamers and
a trephine, "aro souio beaut unl instrument.;.
I used both of these yesterday on a horse thai;
had a broken skull, removing one piece of
bono an inch wida and au inch and a half
long, besides several -smaller pieces. Tho
horso will get well and bo a good animal.
Thero aro no instruments for filling, but I
have filled teeth for a rc.oo horse."
"Goid filling?" inquh-ed a listener. "Oh,
no," caid tha doctor; "gutta pereha stopping.
It made him a good horso, and he was worth
less with bad teeth. Horses stand cl! theso
dental operations iiie3y. It is no trouble for
an operator who understands hi3 business to
keep their mouths open."
"Can j-ou tell without examination whether
a horso has bad teeth or notf
"Certainly. Tho moment i see a horso go
by I can tell whether his teeth hurt him. I
see hundreds of horses on tho street hero thai
aro suffering with lacerated jaws and ct:5
tongues. Every turu on tho bit gives such
an animal pain, I went to Putnam county
a short time ago and found a valuabla hor:.o
starving to death. Tho animal, upon exam
ination, proved to have a tooth th;-.t was de
cayed and had split. Ono half buried itself
ia tho tonguo and tho other half fotved i?
way through tho jaw. I extracted it and th-3
horo is now sound and fat Thero are many
similar cases. People, as a rule, are ready to
call a veterinary surgeon for a sick horso, Lai
they seldom think of tho horse's teeth, wIiIlu
arc in many eases tho solo troabla of their
being thin and unthrifty.
"Horses having diseased teotli era hard to

Bet you fivo cents I ra guess within ono

of hickory nuts toward one of r. group a

hand into tho bag, drew it forth filled with
nuts and hid it behind his back. Ho could
not be induced to show his fist, but theyoaag
man boldly guessed twenty-three, and tha
nuts wera laid down to bo counted. Thj

sometimes lost, he usually won. At tho cud
of half an hour he slipped cut, a collar or so
richer than when ho entered.

capacity of the human hand. Ho makes his

A Kew TRaltooTi In y era to.
There is uiucn mysterious talk of a balloon
invention of M. do Villars, in which tho
problem of aerial navigation is said to ba
solved, at least to a degree never yet reached.
M. de Villars' aim has been to direct his b.iL
loon by taking advantage of the several air.
currents which ar to be met with at various
heights. To do this it is necessary to ascend
and descend frequently in tho courso of tho
voyage. But with balloong of orJina-y con
struction this ia impossible by reason of tha
loss of gas and ballast which such maneuvers
occasion. M. da Villars has 110 ballast tc
throw away, and he is ablo to retain tha
whole of his gas. Herein lies the invention,
which is kept a profound secret. The inven
tor, it is said, has sold his secret to the French
government, to ba used by it alone. Xcw
