read before breakfast. Eyes and stomach are too closely related
to permit of this.

Happy is he who can read these books in company with a sympathetic
companion. His enjoyment of the treasure they contain will be doubled.

One final hint--when reading for something besides pastime, get in the
habit of referring when necessary to dictionary, encyclopadia, and
atlas. If on the subway or a railway train, jot down a memorandum of
the query on the flyleaf, and look up the answer at the first
opportunity.

ASA DON DICKINSON.




There is no business, no avocation whatever, which will not permit a
man, who has the inclination, to give a little time, every day, to study.
--DANIEL WYTTENBACH.
