IMPROVEMENT OF LIBRARY RooMs.-The
enlargement of the Library Rooms, which
we spoke Of week or two ago, will soon be
effected. We understand that Messrs. Thay-
or & ElWell have kindly volunteered to give
up their rooms on the west side of the hall
for the reading room, and the present read
ing room win be added to the Library, max
ing it far more convenient for the large num-
Der Of visitors, the majority Of whom are Ia
dies, who patronize this growing institution.
The Library room has, for some months,
very much needed this change, it being too
small to render it pleasant for the lady mem
bers who attend. A table for their exclusive
use viii be added, and books which they
may request win be furnished them, if they
wish to spend some time in the rooms. This
improvement has been long needed, and will
be appreciated we are sure, for the ladies are
beginning to feel that the Library is very
necessary place Of resort for them.
And allow us to add that Mr.. TAFT, the
long tried and well known Librarian, is still
at his post, SO that no one can be e stranger
in the rooms, after his acquaintance has been
made.

Weighed in the balance Of just criticism, all
are obliged to admit that the scales Of Fairbanks

We have tasted their value, and arc fully satisfied
Of their superior merits. The introduction of
these scales has wrought a revolution in the

racy IS such that uniformity in weights has
been established all over the country, thus
making them national, Iegalizsd standard. Nor
are they confined to the United States; they
have found their way to almost every part Of the
