The AIthorp Library.

English writers are beginning to recog-
nize the fact that America is a formidable
competitor in many fields Speaking of
the sale of the Althorp library The st.
James Gazette says that selling it In
lump can mean only one thing-selling it
to America" 1t then adds: 1--WE trust
that may not happen, since Lord Spencer's
collection contains many volumes which it
is a national pride to possess-such, for in
stance, as the famous Valdarfar 'Boccac-
clio, which Lord Blandford wrested from
the second Earl Spencer for a2260, to be
ultimately bought for Althorp for the
bagatelle of ESQ. 1t will be an epoch
making sale, for this great library con-
tains some $4,000 volumes, mostly price
less. Scarce editions on vellum and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by Pasdeloup and Roger Payne,
these are it's glories Many of the books,
too, have famous histories. They have
felt the touch of the Pompadour or of
Diane de Poitiers or the elegant grasp of
Francis L, There are eighty-two out of the
ninety-nine known productions of Caxton,
tosay nothing of the famous Mentz Psalter,
copy of which has fetched $4,000. To
sell the Althorp library, indeed, is almost
as though we were going to sell the rarest
rarities of the printed book department of
the British museum"

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

The Queen Regent of Spain will be of
ficially represented at the Chicago Fair.
The owner of Blarney Castle has re-
fused to allow the Blarney stone to be
taken to the Chicago Worlds Fair.
The Rogers Locomotive Works and the
Brooks Locomotive Works are each build
ing eighty-ton engines for exhibition at
the Worlds Fair, which will be mounted
on pedestas at each side of the entrance
to the passenger station.
A young lady of Deer Lodge has
been chosen for the model for the silver
statue of Montana, which is to be on ex-
hibition at Chicago next year. She is a
native born Montanian and is said to be
possessed of striking beauty.
Some idea of the size of the multitude
which will cross the Atlantic to visit the
Worlds Fair next year may be gained
from the fact mentioned in Sun cable.
gram that nearly $500 members of the
Regent street Polytechnic have already
engaged passage.
In anticipation of the large volume of
mail and the value of quick transmission
during the Worlds Fair the details of
an elevated road have been submitted
to the Postoffiee Department by the
United States Rapid Transit Company
of Chicago. The plan is to erect this
system between the exposition grounds
and the Chicago postoffice and by means
of an electric cable situated high enough
to. clear all buildings along the route at
tain very high rate of speed.

light of publication were printed in local
newspapers anonymously or with an un-
recognizable nom de plume attached.

GETTING SOLID WITH SPAIN.
Apparently England Wants the Same
Privileges Granted the United States.

Apparently England Wants the Same
Privileges Granted the United States.
Now that the world Is at peace and the
prospects for war anywhere seem remote.
the great nations are deyoting their ener-
gies 20 the arrangement Of commercial re-
lations with their neighbors American
ministers to European courts have scored
their greatest victories by inducing the
governments to which they were accredited
TO allow the admission Of Yankee beef and
pork. The Spanish reciprocity treaty low
cred the price to American consumers Of
Cuban sugar, and It was thought that no
other nation would be able to get as favor
able terms from the Madrid government.
But it seems that Of late Lord Salisbury
has been doing little dickering with Ibe-
rian statesmen, and regarding the report
the New York Tribune says:
"The cable dispatch relative to the
latest commercial convention between
Spain and England Is so sweeping in its
phraseology that some doubts may be en-
tertained in regard to its absolute correct
ness. British influence Is known to be
potent in Spanish governmental circles;
still, commercial arrangements are nothing
but bargains, discussed and effected ac-
cording to the reciprocal principle which
prevails in international trade affairs as
well as in diplomacy. 1t is not usual that
a nation grants commercial privileges
without receiving something in exchange.
No matter how well disposed the cabinet
of Canovas del Castillo may be toward the
ministry Of Lord Salisbury, it is difficult
to believe that, as the dispatch says, Eng
land has obtained the minimum tariff on
British goods imported into Spain and her
colonies without granting any concessions
in return The obtaining of the minimum
tariff constitutes great privilege, for the
maximum tariff recently adopted in Spain
is really prohibitive.
"The Madrid government has wisely un.
derstood that the best policy is to make
arrangements with other European nations
on the basis of the minimum tariff; and it
has readily accepted the propositions made
by France to that effect. But the conces-
sions have been mutual and not one sided.
France has granted many advantages to
Spain, even though the modus vivendi did
not provide that French exporters might
claim the same privileged treatment grant
ed American exporters to the Spanish
West Indies. The French press is just
now divided on this question, one part
pretending and the other denying that the
late arrangement extended not only to the
trade with the peninsula, but also to that
with its colonies. 1t would be strange
that England should have received, with.
out herself making any concessions, the
large privilege mentioned in the cable dis
patch. At any rate K the dispatch is cor
rect and If Great Britain can trade with
Cuba and the Spanish colonies on the basis
of the minimum tariff, this does not give
her the privileges secured to the United
States by the reciprocity treaty signed by
President Harrison"

Provided for a Pet Cat.

1t is getting so that the making of a will
generally turns out to be the beginning of
a lawsuit. The celebrated legal battles
over the estates of Stephen Girard and
Samuel j. Tilden are still fresh In men,
ory, and just now the people of Paris are
discussing case that involves less money
but more fun than those mentioned. Nine.
Dubrai, who died recently, left small sum
Of money to the school fund on condition
that certain amount shall be devoted to
the support of her pet cat. A trusty per-
son is to be nominated by the mayor, who
will undertake to house pussy and give
him three meals day, consisting of such
delicacies as lights, liver and heart. 1t is
estimated that, after this charge has been
met, there will only be about 200 francs
year left for the fund, and the question
now agitating public functionaries is
whether that sum is worth the responsible
ity to be incurred. The courts are to de-
eide the matter

The Value of Lemonade.

Regarding lemonade Philadelphia au-
thority says that it is healthy drink If
properly made, and is good for malaria,
biliousness and other attendant evils. On
no account should it be made in any tin
vessel, as the acid of the lemon forms
with the tin a poison that is very apt to
produce sickness 1t is better to drink
lemonade without sugar if possible, and in
any event it should not be too sweet. A
physician who has great deal of expert
ence recommends glass of lemonade
without sugar before going to bed and an
other on rising in the morning, about half
an hour before breakfast. Lemons should
not be eaten clear, but should always be
diluted with water
