ROOFS In Chains

In Europe, long before the days Of
printing, books were fastened to
shelves or desks in libraries and
churches, to guard against their being
stolen, and also TO prevent one students
gaining an unfair advantage over anoth-
er by securing the loan of q book from
a too amiable librarian.
The libraries of the English universe
ties were chained until the latter part
of the eighteenth century, when, on ac-
count of the Inconvenience OF using
them, the chains were removed. 1t Is
recorded that at Kings College man
was paid Il -. in III, for nine days
labor in taking the tetters OFT the col
lege books. According the Antigua
rlan, there are, however, Il few chained
libraries still remaining in England
The largest of these is at the cathedral
church of Hereford. and is the one gen
ulne survival Of an old monastic library
1t consists of about 2,OG0 volumes, OF
which 300 are chained. There are
five bookcases, and the remnants of
two others.
The catalogue, which is also chained
Classics the books, many of which are
in manuscript, in eight divisions Each
chain Is from 3 to / feet long, according
TO its position, SO that every volume can
be placed on the reading desk In the

which are useful in preventing their
enhancement.
Hereford possesses the latest, as well
as the oldest, collection of chained
books in the kingdom, the library OF

e2THHTE? TEAE STARS OF
NIGHT.
BY MRS. NAPOLEON B. MoRANal

What need to ask was her heart my own.
The very breeze in its uEdertone
Whispered; she loves but you;
Ny glance caught her eyes of melting brown,
The lashes dropped demurely down;
The whisper then was true.
The world embraced by a summer night
Lay half asleep in the tender light
As together we walked alone:
The whole world seemed rcplete with love
What need to question the stars above
And ask was her love my own!
What were the million stars OF night!
Could they make my future pathway bright
With their pale and far endeavors!
We homeward turned. silent, alone;
No need to ask was her heart my own;
We were plighted, happy lovers.
