Books and an Impudent Rascal. Book buying bas its joys, but there comes a time when “weeding out” has to be undertaken. The late Churton Collins crammed his house with books. Then one day he realized that some would have to go. A man from a book- shop was sent for to look at them, writes L. C. Collins in his memoir of his father. * * * @ The following col- loquy ensued: ‘Have you selected the pnes you are prepared to offer a price for? ‘They're no good to me, gnv'nor.’ ‘What, noge of them? ‘No, not-one. After a pause somebody interposed, saying that there really was no room for the books and that the man had better bave them for nothing. Thor- oughly indignant, my father, however, at length consented. The man then re- marked, ‘That'll be half a crown. ‘What do you mean—what for? ex- claimed my father in a restrained tone of voice. ‘For taking them away,” said the man. ‘Leave the house, you impu- dent rascal! at last roared the justly incensed professor. And so the books remained.”~London Chronicle. A Cunning Little Bird. A naturalist had been searching for the eggs of.the little dunlin in Siberia and came upon a nest. The bird quiet- ly slipped off and began to walk around the man, now and then pecking on the ground, as if feeding, seldom: going move than six feet from him and often approaching within eighteen The tameness of the bird was almost ludicrous. She seemed so ex- tremely tame that the man almost thought for the moment that he could catch her, and, getting on all fours, he crept quletly toward her. As soon as he began to move from the nest the bird’s manper entirely changed. She shuffled along the ground as if lame. She dropped her wings, as if unable to fly. and occasionally rested on her breast with drooping wings. as if dy- COV9COCO9COOC OS99 purest of English—English 4 trifle an- tiguated, it true, but nevertheless the real thing.

Liszt was a sweet souled character: One day two of his friends, musicizns,. resolved to put the maestro inte a passion. “Which one of his habits,” they inquired, “would most seriously trouble him were he deprived of it?” “Perhaps,” was the answer, “he would suffer most if deprived of a well made bed.” The two confederates, with a louis, bought over a servant to their designs. She was not, it was agreed, to make his bed for that night. Liszt slept badly and the next morn- ing simply said, “You have forgotten to make my bed.” For two days following she neglect- day the maestro simply said: “I see that you have decided not to make my bed. Well, let it alone. I have come to accustom myself to it.”— Cri de Paris, Followed the Example of Cato.
