CLIPPINGS AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION. 



It is a good plan to clip from the papers valuable articles 

 pertaining to subjects you are especially interested in. This 

 is much preferable to lumbering up your house and desk 

 with stacks of printed matter, the larger portion of which 

 you do not care for. Many attempt to keep volumes of pa- 

 pers and in some instances bind them because they contain 

 some valuable articles. It often happens that the articles 

 can't be found when wanted since they are buried in a mass 

 of literature. Binding volumes of papers is more the func- 

 tion of libraries than of individuals. It is questionable 

 whether there are in the homes of the average individual, 

 papers worth binding. But there is found in almost every 

 publication something worth keeping. It should be clipped 

 out and preserved. A common letter file is a good thing in 

 which to file away these clippings, alphabetically under the 

 subject matter, or by using envelopes with the subject mat- 

 ter written thereon. These may be arranged alphabetically 

 and placed in a tray or box as is recommended for the ledger 

 cards. No thoughtful person should fail to clip from his 

 periodicals.
