The above are selling prices at Aahburton It appears that m America the war has completely demoralised the book trade and upset publishers' NEWSPAPERS plans. War - books V. BOORS. are i Q demand, and books about Spain and the Philippines— but not, curiously enough, about Cuba— but the ordinary run of literature is neglected. What the Americans are reading just noware the newspapers. An America* writer B ays : n The newspapers, as every one knows, print columns and pages of war matter, and yet the people do nob seem to get tired. They read with aridity all that they can get hold of, and then cry for more. WoD't the public get tired ? •we ask ourselves. But there is no indication of it. On the contrary, many ptraons have assured me that they read only about the war and skip all the rest, and the skipped part is that which ordinarily would have been read first, and with the most interest. The truth is, we have no thought of anything else. This would not have been the case m England. There they always have some kiud of a war on hand, and the people are used to it, but here a whole generation has passed since a hostile gun ■was fired at our flig With us this is -a most unaccustoaied business, and it has all the alluring fascination of an exciting novelty." Bui it is not m, America only that the public are read ing newspapers to the neglect of books. Tn England they are doing the sains thing. That is what Mr Bryce told the booksellers of London at their recent dinner. The bookselling business m London is m n, bad way, or some branches of it are, and ib was Mr Bryce's desire to explain to his hosts why they were making less money than they used to make. But the comfort, if comfort it were intended to be, came m a cold form. For, if newspaper read ing be indeed a cause for the decay m the reading of books, it must be held to be a permanent cause. We are not going to stop reading newspapers. The appetite grows by what it feeds on. It has, m America, become so unbridled that people read papers m which there is no news. They also read papers m which the news is, m great p*rfc, matter of invention. They know it is, or they do not know when it is genuine and when it is pure fabric ttion, yet they go on reading it. Their siate of mind has become morbid. Excitement thf-y must. have ; their stomach craves irritants This is the condition for which the yellow papers provide, . This, however, is not what Air Byrce had m mind. The yellow press does not exist i». England. It i 3 an American product. Mr Bryce meant that p ople can only do a certain amount of reading. They have only so much time and so much mental energy to employ for (hat purpose, and, if they expend it all on newspapers, none will be lefc for books

Hollow ay's Ointmest and Pili.s- The Good D:e Young — Unlike mo t popula> Biyioge, this has very little truth m it. Experience every day proveß. that some at least of the good are spared to mike the world brighter and better, and a more pleasant place to Hvß m. In fact, our experior.ee is that good people, and good things generally, live the longest. For eximple, consider the thousands of articles which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why ? Because they were bad. On the other hand, we have Hollo way's Pills and Ointment, which have proved the faithful friend of poor humanity for fifty years and more. Why ? Because they are good. Of a truth, that which m good does not die, but lives for all time.
