ENTER THE BATH-TUB BOOK
It has long been the complaint that readers of to-day rushed the perusal of their books, skimming .over the contents, and giving them little thought. and only semi-understanding. What could be more conducive to conteinpla tion, and consequently appreciative reading, than the bath-tub book? The very recumbent position of the reader, relaxed in the pleasingly warm water, is an invitation to calm consideration. Mind as well as body slips easily into repose; it is little troubled by tho surrounding world. It is in a state to teccive and absorb what a book page may have to offer.
An individual in London who aspires to the helping of his fellows ij now ways, to unexpected welfare, comfort, and contentment, is tho proposer of a plan thai; .publishers provide their readers with water-proof books for tho bath-tub, says th'o Syracuse "Post."
Ho would have an interesting book as easily within reach as the soap. And (lie book, though carelessly droppod in tlio water, would bo as little damaged as tho soap, similarly dropped. Ho is worthy of the world's attention; for he .may l?e a benefactor of mankind.
