No house is com pletely furnished that has no library. There are, to be sure, homes without number in which there are chairs and tables, china and glass, rugs and drap eries, soft couches curios and bric-a-brac, pictures and vases, but never a book. If you happen to call in such a house, and the mistress keeps you waiting while she changes her toilette, ycu look in vain for a book to pass away the moments of inaction. If you are staying in such a home and have not brought with you something tc read, vou look in vain for an entertain ing volume or an attractive magazine. People who do not spend money for bocks are apt to be parsimonious in subscribing for magazines. A taste fcr liteature demands gratification. Where the taste dees not exist people are satisfied, strange as it may seem, to endure a state of absolute pauper ism in the matter of reading. We all know houses where there are books enough to form the simulacrum of a library, but when these are ex amined they are discovered to be a fearful and wonderful collection of misfits, old school books, books that have been received by the children as prizes, books that have been picked up by the traveler to cheer the tedium of a railway journey, doors mat nave been sent into the house as holiday presents, and books that have beer borrowed and never returned. Odd vol umes of this and the other author of epute appear in these weird and queerly assorted conglomerations. But of complete sets and of books that instruct, amuse and satisfy, there are few to be seen. Hundreds of such miscalled libraries are only fit to be used as kindling and would find their best end in a rubbish heap or a bonfire The second-hand shops would have none of them. Even were people in telligently collect books, there is-oc casion from time to time for judicious weeding and of letting go that which is ephemeral, and, for all practical pur poses, worthless. Although public libraries are multi plied, every home should have its own library, just as it has its own beds ano tables. It is not necessary to appro priate a room and use it solely for books. Very few of us have space to space for this luxurious accomodation of our literary treasures. The living room is the proper place for the home library; the shelves tc hold the books may De of home manu facture, put together by anybody who can manage a plane and a hammer, and they may be stained in harmony with the color scheme of the room. What to choose for a library is the first consideration. A library that grows as a garden grows or an or chard, little by little, is in the end the library that one loves best. I would suggest that the initial purchase should be a set of Shakespeare in good type, with fine illustrations, each vol ume small enough to be held in the hand without weariness. j Although Sir Walter is out of fash ion, it is possible to cultivate his ac quaintance if one has a set of the Waverley novels in one's possession. Sir Walter Scott is a little leisure ly in his movement, so far as the be ginnings of his romances are con: cerned, but once you are fairly em i i t i . i uarKea m nis company, tne pace is swift enough for the interest of most readers. Occasionally, in these days, one is so fortunate as to pick up : a really fine set of Scott at a second-hand shop or at an auction sale, for a small price, and almost every year there are opportunities to secure his and other standard authors works in exquisite bindings, at the marked-down sales of the large book shops. However, in forming a home library, it. is not worth while to attach ton much importance to fine bindings. The book itself is the thing to seek for, and a good cloth binding satisfies most people. Rich and ornate bindings are for those who can pay for them with out missing the money. A full set of Dickens and of Thack eray, a set of Balzac, and of Robert Louis Stevenson, should be added to the library which is to be an integral part of the household life. If one can not purchase a set all at once, buy a single book at a time, setting aside a part of the weekly or monthly income tor the purpose. Very tempting of fers are made by publishers in the line of subscription books, and it is diffi cult to resist the suave urbanity of the agent who sets forth the reasons why one should avail himself of these inducements. But be warned in time Unless one is very certain of the fu ture, anything bought on the install ment plan will probably hang like a mill-stone around the neck in the days to come. ' Boswell's life of Johnson is a never failing source of pleasure to the read er who enjoys biography at its best A shelf should be set aside for the lives and letters of men and women who have done good service to their periods. Here we would find, were we setting out to form a library, wide room ior wise selection. As a rule, cnoose tne lives ot those who have done something for their time, and around whom great movements, have iocussea.

The life of Herbert Spencer ib a contribution to the story of mod ern education and contrasts with an tique ideas. The life of Sir Edward Burne-Jones is the story of a wonder ful movement in modern art. So we might proceed indefinitely, since biog raphy is the story of the human race represented by its foremost men. A home library Avill be incomplete without poetry. Do not consider po etry as merely decorative; it is the fit food for the cultured mind. If one does net care for it. he is -to be pitied. Among the poets whose works should be added to the shelves are Homer, Dante, Milton, Wadsworth, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Browning, Longfel low, Whittier, Lowell, Kipling an.d Stephen Phillips. This is a very short list, for the poets are many, but these would make an excellent beginning.' . Every home library should be fur nished with some sacred literature. The Modern .Readers' Eible, in little volumes, arranged not in chapters and verses, but by sbjects and paragraphs, should belong to the store of books in every household. An alarming ig norance of the. Bible is a eharacteris-, tic of our'-day. To this cause, more than to any other, may be attributed the prevalence of graft, the increase of corruption in politics and the general lowering of old-fashioned ideas of honor. We shall never be independent of the Ten Commandments. The foun dation stone of a good home library should be the Modern Readers' Bible. It costs little in money, but it will pay well in the long run. Songs ofjommer. (By John Jordan Douglass.) Br er Turkic I.

"The natives are a liardy lot, sir," he said, "but you haven't seen Pe ter Sparks. He's the quaintest char acter in these parts." vThis individual turned out to be the sexton, and he was discovered ringing the church bell. ' "Is not this bell ringing almost too much for you, my friend?" asked the vicar sympathetically, noting the bent figure of the old man. "You must be a great age?" "Yessir, yessir," mumbled the old fellow. ' 'Ow many years I've tolled the -sen I can't rezz ye, but its begin ning to tell on me. 'Owever, I've toll ed the bell for five vicars." "Dear me!" ejaculated the clergy man uncomfortably. "And," continued the sexton, "I'll be happy when I've made up the 'alf dozen. I think I'll retire then!" Glasgow Times. i A TEXAS WONDER.
