Minneapolis Mills.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 1.-THE
Northwestern Miller says: s'There was
another slight decrease in the -four output
last week. partly due to the head of water
not being as good as most of the mills
could use and partly to the fact that some
OF them ran only three days. The aggre-
gate production for the week was "a, $50
barrels, averaging IA. 691 barrels, against
9O,sT0 barrels the week before and 131, 400
barrels for the corresponding time in 1888
The present week will probably make Q
better showing"

A Boston Blaze.

BOSTON. April 10-A destructive fire
broke out last evening in the freight
house of the Lowell division Of the Boston
& Maine railroad. It started in q pile Of
waste cotton and the flames spread with
great rapidity, soon reaching the central
freight building. where a large amount of
merchandise was stored and also forty
loaded freight cars. These were all de-
stroyed. as we'll as the two buildings
mentioned and grain elevator. The loss
can not now be estimated, but will be at
least $500. 900.
The fire is still burning, though entirely
under control, and it will probably be
many hours before the fremen's work il
completed.

B1BL1oMANMos CLASSIFIED.


In answer to numerous letters that have come to US
OF late we win say that bibllomana affects different
people so differently that medical science has come
10 regard and treat the several maades as distinct
mental diseases. There arc, as we are told, eight
classes of bibli0maniacs, as follows;
1. Tho biblophios are those who love books and
collect them Dor the good that Is In them These
people are kindly, tolerant, and interchangeable,
q The bibophoOls those who try TO make
other people believe that they arc Dookloveis, and
with this deception IN View they buy all sorts Of truck
but never read anything.
g. Tho Undergraduates (sometlmes called " teaz
ers those who. loving hooks, incite others TO the
love aud purchase Of books They are always males
4. The bIbliocranks are those who recognize no
reason In any fad but their own. While they are
collecting Americana they regard old English bailadry
as the veriest rot, and they have no pettcnce with
any crank unless he Is a crank Of their own kind.
s. The bibiloparanoacs arc such as enjoy being
known as patrons OF literature, but they buy very
little. The woods hereabouts are full Of them.
8, Tho bbliophreneties are those who fancy that
they are bIblophiles simply because they read old
catalogues.
destroy other books In order that books which they
possess shall thereby become uuiques; an extraya-
ttant dan gerous, and incurable class.
g. The bibiopelts the vulgar blbliophools who
glory in costly bindings, without regard to taste.
Seyenty,hve cent reprints arc decked out In 500
covers. The blblopelts are too plenty.
