TONS OF NEWSPAPERS.
Journals OF the United Kingdom ON File

Journals OF the United Kingdom ON File
at the British Museum.
Since October, 1888, an important work
in connection with the cataloguing and
rearranging of the files of the newspa-
pers of the United Kingdom has been
going on at the British Museum. The
work has now been brought down to
1878. Every volume has been carefully
examined, and all the important points
in regard to it indicated in the cata-
logue. Much labor has been spent in
sizing and arranging the papers year by
year. BY this means considerable
amount of press room has been gained.
The papers are arranged according to
late. Every volume is numbered out
side. Each year has distinct set of
numbers, except in the case of the ear
lier dates, where the number of volumes
in year is SO small as to make this un-
necessary. The year 1881 is represented
by only Al volumes, each volume con-
tanning the files of from twos to Ave
newspapers, while 1910 has S6 volumes,
1850 has 130 volumes, 1860 has 25s vol
umes and 1870 has 1877 volumes; while
for 1887 there are no fewer than 372 vol
umes; 1s47 takes up presses occupying
a space of SO square feet, while 1887 re-
quires 16 presses and occupies 367 square
feet. There are more than 1900 dis
tinct papers for 1887, while for 1S47 the
number did not exceed 800.
The approximate weight of English.
Scotch and Irish papers in the presses at
the museum is $50 tons. The files for
thirteen years have still to be gone
through before the work is complete.
AS soon as this is done list of the new
papers, with their respective numbers,
will be placed in the reading-room, and
it will then be as easy to obtain the file
Of newspaper of a hundred years ago
as itnow is to procure any book in the
reading-room. Itmay be explained that
all the London newspapers since 1900
are kept quite distinct from the pro-
vincial journals. They are contained in
the west wing, where the same plan of
sizing, numbering and cataloguing has
been carried out as has been adopted in
connection with the provincial papers.
The London daily papers, however, are
arranged in sets on the ground floor,
and are obtainable at once.-Manches-

FRESH cold water is powerful ab-
sorbent Of gases. A bowl of water
placed under the bed Of the sick-room
and frequently changed is among the
valuable aids in purifying the air. The
room in which the London aldermen
sit is purified by open vessels Of water
placed in different parts of the room.
1t can be easily inferred from this that
water standing for any length of time
in close room is unfit for drinking.
Experiments of this kind are not cost
ly. It has frequently been observed
that restless and troubled sleep has
been corrected by placing an open
vessel of water near the head of the bed.

THE PERILS or BROADWAY TRAVEL

If Colonel Lamont would initiate the ex-
ample of that lamentcd sage, liaroun Al
Raschid and pay nocturnal visits in disguise
to all parts of his streetcar caliphatc, he would
mako some interesting discoveries. If his
DISCUSSES were impenetnble, and he would
study the workings of the system under his
control with patcnt care, he would find that
the universal public opinion that the drivers
and conductors Of the Broadway cars are as
class the most reckless, needless. offensive
and insolent set OF men with which any con-
spicuous car line in the metropolis has ever
been afflicted is founded on roch-ribbed
basis of facts lie would learn that, as a
class, they are hatcrs, not only of mankind,
but of womanknd as well, and that too many
of them have dsrcputabc habit of openly
exulting with lecr and grin over the dis
con,fture of some wrathful man, who has a
woman in charge, and who vainly attempts
by frantic signals. and even by shoutings and
whistlings. to persuade them b stop car
which is wildly carcering down broadway at
= pace which Jchu, that somewhat notorious
charioteer OF the Jcrusalem-Jc Jericho COnSOli-
dated System, was never able to approach.
And this contcmptuous disregard of the APP
pea!s of even the most submissive suppiants
is often tagrantly emphatic when the car is
almost empty.
But the climax and crown of joy for driver
and conductor alike is reached when some
timid old lady, who has been pathetically

Speaker Reeds review OF 4 memorable Sos
sion of Congress is the strongest possible arSu-
r,ont for the election of Republican House
in November. 1t is a record OF extraordinary
legislative industry made under circumstances
exceptionally difficult. The catalogue OF the
measures which have been passed since the
establishment of sound business principles IN
the House jlstiaes the conduct of the majority
IN suppnssing obstruction and overcoming
factiouS resistance. No other session OF Con-
gress since the war has been devoted to legIs-
lation of equal importance, range and COM
prehensiyeness. These great results nave
been accomplished under the brilliant and
courageous leadership of the Speaker, and
every pledge save one which the Republican
party made to the country in 1888 has been
fulfilled That exception is legislation for
promoting the revival of the commercial ma
rine, and this single default the Speaker prom
iscs will be made good before the end OF the
year in extra session, if vote on the Tonnage
and Subsidy bills he impracticable this month
The Speakers review Of the session is admir-
able alike in its epigrammatic form and patri-
otto spirit. His speech ought to be circulated
as a campaign document in every Congress
sional district where a Republican candidate
is in the field. Ii is an lulansw cradle vfndica-
ton of Republican policy in Congress.
