THE WORLDS LIBRARIES.
Goas, etIinD About the Great Libraries
Effercnt Countries.

Eoas, etIting about the Great Libraries ef
Btfercnt Countries.
The recent movement in favor of free
library for Winnipeg has excited general
interest in the subject. The Historical
society took the first step toward bringing
the matter to practical issue, and made
definite proposition TO the city council to
throw open their ibrarF to the public on
condition that the council should cooper
ate in the scheme. The council appointed
a committee to confer with similar COM
nittee of the Historical society, but moth
ing further has yet been done. In view of
the interest attaching 40 the question, a
brief review of very interesting and ex-
haustive article on the libraries of the
world. in the last number of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica may moi be inappropri-
ate.
The article is chiefly historical, and
traces the collection of books and manu-
scripts from the earliest ages down to the
| present day. Beginning with
TIE ANCIENT PERIOD
| it shows that for ages human knowledge
was handed down from age to age by orat
tradition, but from the first invention Of
the art of writing collections were made
by all the great nations Of antiquity
These collections were, however. in tbs
nature of historical and religious archives.
and it was not till after the development
of the arts and sciences and the growth OF
a considerable literature, and even dis
tinct literary class, that libraries were
formed. The Medes and Persians are now
known to have had large collections Of
books. and nothing in the great discoverie:
of Botta and Layard is more interesting
than the proofs of the existence of exten
sive libraries of forgotten civilization
The writers discuss the remains Of these
collections and then give sketch of ths
libraries of Egypt, Greece, Perganius
Rome and Constantinople. On the intro
duction of Christianity a Christian Etera
tuze sprang up, and literature and iearnin;
became a part of the organization of tn
church, but unfortunately it was actuate
by hostile spirit towards pagan itera
tase. !.

Pickerel Fishing Through the lee.

At this tim" of year there is no more

of the forest and Strcam. One of the
current beliefs is that the first time Il
green hand goes out he i bound to have
GOOD luck. Another tradition is that
pickcrel sometimes swim or Scoot or a
down grade. and sometimes on an up
grade. and that when they have their
noses pointed toward the bottom YOU
can't catch one. if Your pic&crrl bait
were peaches and cream. The piScat0-
rial belief in the influence of the signs Of
the almanac is profound. And your sly
