Library Notes.

A good many ladies are complaining
because the Council will not run the Gle.
vator at the new City Hall at night.
The number of books taken out of the
library on Saturday was the largest eve,
recorded at that institution. This is
owing partly to the fact that the Board
of Directors has made a specially OF
placing the new books in circulation as
fast as published.
A number of people have expressed
their pleasure at the proposed new de-
parture in circulating musical selec-
tions of the works of the masters,
A list of the works to be ordered
is now being made by the Book
Committee, and it is expected that the
music will be here inside of month.
Bids are being received for aoout 200
books, which it is expected will be- placed
on the shelves about the first of next
month.
The new books are bulletined as soon
as received. About twenty were received
from the East last week.
The October magazines have been in
great demand, and the call for fiction has
been greatly reduced.

NEW POSTAL CARDS,
Three Sizes to be Made to Suit ali

Three Sizes to be Made to Suit ali
Tastes and Uses.
The new postal cards will be of three
sizes. The first size will be 2x415
inches; the second, 3x511SS, that in use at
present, and the third, 324x615 inches.
They will sell for cent piece, as here
tofore. Why, ther, it may be asked
should there be three sizes instead of
one? In the opinion of the Postmaster
General, who is the author aud finisher
Of the idea, the ladies of the United
States want neat little card, of pretty
tinted board, for shopping purposes
They have only few words to say, such
as, II need yard more of that twilled

add one paper Of pins to the articea
ordered by Mrs. Smith this morning 2"
and it will tickle their fancy to have
sweet, dainty card, all of their own, to
write this message on.
Size No. 2 will be used for ordinary
purposes OF correspondence, the Post
master General thinks, just as it is now,
but size No. 8, he believes, will fill long
felt want to the mercantile community
Tor advertising purposes. When the
great Wanamaker shop. for instance,
wants to give a weather report and
hoor- walkers directory and q long and
familiar talk to it's lady customers about
babies wraps and children's school
umbrellas, it ought to have room to
spread itself out. The cramped dimen.
sions of the old-fashioned card did very
well for the cramped dimensions of the
old fashioned announcements; but the

ment which has sprung into existence
since Philadelphia became the leading
retail market of the world has quite out
grown such bounds.
Naturally there is a great deal of
amusement over this whole postal card
performance. The size chosen for the
largest card is one which every ,st-
master in the country will condemn, be-
cause it 10 going to give him lot of
trouble in making up his packages of

and broken on the edges in transit,

The Climate of Mexico.

Much has been written OH the climate
OF Mexico. Too much cannot be said in
its behalf. In the city, at an altitude
OF $500 feet, there is no chimney in
sight, and fires are almost unknown to
any save the dusky vestals who bend
over the charcoal brsziers of the kitchen.
The mean average of the mercury for
about eight years, summer and winter,
shows so degrees Fahrenheit. The
limits are 34-89 degrees. The
air is dry, of course, except during
actual rain, and, while foreigner finds
himself disqualified by this rarefaction
for any extraordinary exertion, yet it
gives him a particularly buoyant, cham
pagne-like feeling. Rain generally falls
each afternoon from June to October, aud
the next days sun shines through the
freshest and purest Of atmospheres.
Mexico's streets, however. are very dirty,
and it needs an exceptional purity over
head to counterfeit the dirt under foot

The Behr:ng Affair Again Calls
Attention to 1t.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In view of the report than an English
squadron has been sent to cruise in the
Behring sea and that our government
has dispatched some vessels to protect
American rights, it may be interesting
to compare the character of the war
ships mentioned in the kilograms.
American-Adams. wooden siOOp of
war. 1875 tons, lib knots; l eleven
inch SmoothbOre gun Q36-pOunder);
nine-lncIl smOothbOre guns (73.5 pound
ers), and l 6O-pounder. The IrOquois.
mentioned in our dispatch, is not in
commission, but the vessel most prOba-
bly, meant is the Thetis, vessel of
more service as an Arctic cruiser than
as a man-of-war. The penetrative
force in iron of the guns carried by the
Adams is set down as nil. and the
weight of shot she could throw at a
broadside is 343 pounds.
British-SwiftSure, S-inch armOr, 6.640
tons. 1871 knots, 12-tOn guns. AmphiOn,
unarmOred cruiser with underwater
steel deck X inches thick. $3.50 tons,
1917 knots, 6-inch rifles. Another YES
sci is spoken of, but as one dispatch
says it is the 1carus and another the
Defender, there seems some doubt OH
the question. The Icarus is, believe,
one of the latest swift cruisers in the
British navy. 1t might be wise to fin
ish the Chicago as soon as possible.

MuldOOn had released. and another had
left his tail behind him. Then Mr..
Barnitt and Mr.. Sullivan's brother told
how they had put feathers in the cage

WHISKY FOR ONE.

How an ingenious Femalc sc.
cured the Booze She Coveted.
There's a story from the old times
when the prohibition idea was not SO
strong in the rural districts near here as
it is to-day, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
At certain farm in Moon township
there lived good man who had the
misfortune to be linked to an intern
perate wife. She would drink, so the
veraciOus chroniclers of Moon township
inform me, any two men under the ia
BILE. At harvest time in those days it
was considered Indispensable to have a
barrel of good old Monongahela whisky
for the farm help.
1t happened one year that when the
harvest came around the old farmers
wife had been celebrating rather heavl-
ly, and yet her desire for ardent spirits
was unappeased. The question which
agitated the old farmers mind was how
to keep the barrel of whisky for the
harvesters out of her reach. He was
afraid that if she and the whisky were
left alone in the house together there
would not only be no whisky, but also
no dinner for the harvesters.
He took counsel, and the result was
that the barrel of whisky was slung up
to the center beam OF the barn and
dashed firmly in such place that it
only be reached and lowered to The
ground by a man who could climb out
to it. Then he and the help went into
the field with the comfortable assur-
ance that the barrel of whisky was be-
You'd the old iady's reach.
But she had seen the barrel rolled
out to the barn, and as soon as the men
were away from the house she went to
reconnoiter She was somewhat irate
when she saw the barrel hung up out of
her reach. 1t took ten minutes to de-
eide on course of action. Then she
returned to the house and picked out a
clean washtub. With this tnb and her
husbands rifle she returned to the barn.
She placed the tub directly under the
barrel. Raising the rifle to her shoulder
she fired at the barrel, sending a ball
clean into the center of the barrel.
Down came stream Of the golden
juice of the rye, playing tune on the
tub, which made the old woman smile
sweetly.
There is no need to 60 into details.
When the harvesterS came in from the
field they found the old woman asleep
beside the tub. Some whisky was left,
but the dinner was not cooked.

ECHOES FROM THE PEOPLE

Cause and Cure of Greatness.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The committee which examines into
cases of alleged insanity, with the
Judge of probate as presiding member,
is, properly speaking. not a court,
though it is termed so in the newspa-
pers in reporting the proceedings of
such committee. They are led to call
it by the name court by the fact that
such committee can order a person
placed in custody and by the fact that
Judges preside i'll them. A person
brought before such committee is de-
MED the privileges allowed before
courts. 1t is entirely misleading to call
it a court. which name gives everybody
the idea of defense and fair trial. The
members of such committees themselves
look upon their position as that of
committee consulting about sick per-
son. This is the real nature and the
basis of the institution. The public
looks at it as court. which it really
should be. If a person be insane it is
no reason to shut him up. except he is
ought to be treated like criminal
shut up. do not believe in the law
of revenge. The word ''insane" is not
used correctly when applied to crazy
people. Insane means sick. Crazy
peple are not always sick-their
brain is not always hurt If the
latter be the case, they are fit subjects
for the doctors to try their skill on. and
they are not very dangerous. Greatness
is due to an overweight imagination,
which makes the patient move in
world of troubles different from the
real. Psychologists consider the evil as
something that grows on certain persons
at certain age of their life or that
springs up in an attempt to transcend
ordinary means of obtaining knowledge
or of getting out of difficulty. The alb
normal mentality is considered to be
due to either Unborn KEN (ante-antal
memory or to transferred ideas relating
to the trOLble of others, which ideas ell
tirely engross the seat of consciousness,
leaving the brain inactive and even
healthy, except the patient strains him
self in regaining his practical thoughts.
The cure is in accordance with these
ideas. There is no other remedy known
other than travelling, or rather visiting.
when the irrelevant thoughts are trans
ferred to others that can make applica-
ton of them. 1t is said that a princess
in Germany has been prevented from
becoming deranged by constantly trav-
cling and visiting for several years. A
person shut up loses the chance of be-
ing cured. N. K.

Will Result From the New Meat
Inspection Law.

Will Result From the New Meat
Inspection Law.
Special to the Globe.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 1.-R. S.
Ford. leading stOckman OF Montana,
in recent interview, said that he be-
lieved the new Minnesota inspection
law will result in higher prices for meat.
The Chicago and Kansas City packers,
he asserts. manage their business so
well that they send beef to Atlanta, Ca,
and sell it there for cents per pound.
He continues: 1.-The immense influx
of cattle at Chicago gives the dealers
there decided facilities for procuring
cattle on the best terms. They do not,
however. break down the markets en-
tirely: for when they have bought all
the cattle they need-at what they deem
a fair prce-they stop and will buy no
more during the day, no matter
how many steers may be Of
cred. As regards the st. Paul
market. Mr.. Ford says there is strong
disposition among stockmen in Montana
and throughout the Western country to
send cattle to Chicago when they are
shipped, but he considers that the new
law will create greater demand for Mon
tana cattle in st. Paul, whence meat
may be sent in refrigerator cars to the
smaller towns in the state. MIR. Ford
thinks the railroads should not advance
the rates for cattle this year. The con-
dition of the cattle trade at this time
does not warrant 1t.
