ON READING BOOKS. LECTURE AT SWANSEA PUBLIC HBRARY. The query suggests itself to every one— "What 6.ba!I I read?" Dr. Tudor Jones made a fruitful attempt to guide t-he young in- quirer in b'th what !:o read and how to read i!: at Swan?a Library on Saturday nigri. :nd the crowd'sd audi&nce was mTghti!y ap- preciatiTc. Mr. H. A. Chapma.!t presided. Dr. Jones* formula is, put in a pith, to L-ecome impressionable by learning to appre- ciate Nature, thoo exercismg chieny the two cenBes of hearing and &&eing, f?nd fmaJIy ?T?c?alising. They aiust get impressions rather than learn things oS by heart.. Wit.h rather than learn things oS by heart.. With the power of observation strong within one, thc.;y coujd link thir,g& with the lessons Iea,mt. before, and they would nud greater pleasure m it. All could not be specialists in the sense that Darwin was. but why should not aJl of them be titi.e speciaJistf;? What to read? They shonid all be men who had ;i, cr.rtain mnoun.t of real knowledge concerning the fundamental principles upon which things rested. It was perhaps nob very useful to know a !ot of figures, names and date's—useful jnst for an examination— (12,71-ilt,r)-but they must get acquainted with the great political events, t-he Focial "V.2nt,s, ;md ihc moral and re- lious changes o't the country. There would be the study of the human niLud, and lastly- for something more neces- sary than {acto—they must read books of poetry, and of imagination. For if they &arid, he argued, "this ideal world must be," tji,en that ideal world would be. (Applause.) Again, they must not only criticise and ar-alyee, but they must afso apprecia.te and adinire what was true and beautiful. Dr. Jones &aid be found he could not read to any profit if he tried to enjoy a smoke at t;.<i sajne tjjme or made the body comfcTtab'o. (La.ught.er and "Hear, hear.")

Early on Day morning she came creeping into our bedroom, com- pladning of her teg. I put her on the bed .J see wha,t was the matter, and I found that her leg had gone up by about five inches." "In. one night,?" asked the reporter. "Yes. I sent for our fa.;nily doctor he exa-mined her. and said it wa.s a case for; he hospital; that she suSering from hip disease. I took her there, a.nd she was put under the ordinary treatment for hip dis- ease. But. I was not satisfied. The surgeon said site must remain for 12 months en crutches, but get. plenty of fresh air.

But t.hen, Ma.ry, who at this point called in by her father, wit.h a brisk "Majy, come here quick: iB a brave little girl, aj!y way. She walked across the room with perfect ease.
