found the notice of a new volume of choice

"It contains more than fifteen hundred

than any similar collection. Every poem
has been subjected to Mr.. Bryant's revi-

THE SCIENCE OF LOOKING WELL.-Do
you know, good friend, that it is just as
easy to look we'll as to make hideous
appearance, if you only understand how?
Some people think it makes no difference
how they look, and they select outrageous
looking clothing which does mol fit them
OF course they look horribly.
People who desire to look we'll can have
their views met by getting their whole sup
ply of clothes at the Great Brown Hall of
Rockhill & Wilson, Philadelphia. See
their advertisement in another column
Their spring assortment of clothing is of
wondrous beauty, and well adapted to the
wants of our readers. They have whole
suits of excellent Cheviot and other mate
rial, as low as TEN DOLLARS.
The best way to supply yourself, if you
do not happen to be going to Philadelphia,
is to write to Rockhill & Wilson for pat
terms of their goods, and for directions
which will enable you to send your meas
ure. They will supply you from their vast
stock of ready-made clothes, or make your
suit to measure from their choice stock of
piece goods, as you prefer.
We notice it as fact that all the folks
who once deal at Rockhill & Wilson's, are
sure to go there again and again for their
own clothes, and clothes for their sons

Charge OF E!sceurtesy Against Its En-
ployes-A Case in Point.
To THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD:-
Yesterday afternoon l had pressing occasion to
consult one OF the many encyclopedias that are
numbered among the literary treasures OF the Astor
Library. l applied for 1t to the custodian OF the
proper division Of the library, but was
refused the favor, on the ground that 1t
wanted but twenty minutes of the hour
Of closing. The reference wished to make would
sible. In view OF the snappish dtscourtesy which
marked the tone of the first denial to euter into an
explanation.
This ls not the first time 1 have been treated
rudely az the library, and have heard many com.
plants from others OF similar annoyances. Surely
the FIRST care OF the trustees ought to be to insist
upon gentlemany dcmeanor from their
employees III the discharge OF their pub.
lie duties. Tho trouble with these lat
ter gentlemen, however, is that they have
too much private work 10 do In their few short Office
hours. They are apparently iaborlous boogmakers,
and are increasingly copying out extracts nor them
selves or others) from the volumes under their
charge. or course they cannot do that and properly
attend to the applicants for books at one and the
same time.
Perhaps this simple statement or facts may
remedy the evils complained OF. IL Is crying
shame that noble beneiaction such az this insitri-
tion should be paray zed for good by the shameless
rudeness OF It's servants. JOURNALIST.
