HOW TO HOUSE BOOKS.

Twelve inches is fair depth for two rows
of octavos. The projections should each have
attached to them an end piece, that is, a shall
low and extremely light adhering bookcase,
which both increases the accommodation and
presents a face of books. The wall spaces
between the projections ought also to be
turned to account for shallow bookcases so
far as they are not occupied by windows.
By the adoption of his plan Mr.. Gladstone
says a room 40x20, with bookcases nine feet
high, will accommodate %, 900 volumes. The
portrait of the ex-premier, given herewith,
shows him as he appears at the present time,
seated in his library and enjoying the COM
partnership of his silent friends the books.

Ventilation in WASHINGTON.

1t looks, Judging by the following from
Spokane Falls, as though the new state of
Washington were preparing to compete
with Georgia for the honor of being the
chief source of tall stories: A remarkable
accident occurred late Sunday afternoon at
the new Hotel Spokane. One Of the cham
bermaids was somehow caught up by the
wings of large ventilating fan in the
kitchen and carried up the escape pipe as
far as the second story window, where she
was wedged fast by her clothing. The pipe
was cut open and the girl was taken out
badly frightened, but otherwise uninjured.
The ventilating apparatus is to carry the
fumes from the kitchen, which is in the
basement, up through large sheet iron
tube that connects at the fan and runs up
outside of the building to the roof The
fan itself is ten feet across, and at the time
of the accident was making 1900 revoiu-
tons per minute, creating a very strong
draught in the kitchen.-Philadelph

THE CHILD MUSICIAN.

He had played for his lordship's leyee,
He had played for her ladyships whin,
TIL the poor little bead was weary
And the poor little brain would swim.
And the face grew peaked and eerie,
And the large eyes strange end bright,
And they said-too late-'He is weary,
He shat rest for at least tonight"
But at dawn when the birds were waking,
As they watched in the silent room,
With the sound Of strained cord breaking
something snapped in the gloom
Twas string Of his violinceno,
And they heard him stir in his bed;
make room for tired little fellow.
Kind God, " was the last he said.

The House in Which Abraham Was Born

Inc dGuSe IN "h1ch Abraham was Born.
Not far from Aleppo is situated the little
town of OTfah (thc ancient Ur of the Chal-
dees), which is Of great historical interest,
it having been the birthplace of the patri-
arch Abraham. There are few Jews in
the place, but the Arabs still point out a
small building, lying outside the town,
which they declare to be the house wherein
Abraham first saw the light, and which
they therefore term Belt El-Chaltl (he
house of the friend of Cody. 1t is most i'm
probable that the actual house should have
stood for thousands Of years, but there is
no doubt that the building in question is
of great antiquity. BY its present owner,
an Arab peasant, as well as the Arabs gen
orally, it is held in utmost veneration, the
more so since it is feared that within few
years it will fall to the ground victim of
natural decay.-St. Louis Republic.
