MAINE LIBRARIES.

Speaking of library buildings, about every
place OF any Importance in Maine seems TO
want one. and will have it. even if the price
is high. Augusta has collected Sl6,ooo
toward library and will try to raise Sli,-
900 more. Biddeford will have a $40, 1000
building Calais has started upon a good
one and Rockland has $500 toward the
erection of suitable structure for the benc-
fit of reading public. Bangor also, is to
likely to have public library building
Bangor News.
The success that is attending the efforts
of the committee in charge of the Rockland
public library fund suggests the idea of
starting a similar fund in Camden. We are
in need of library of standard works for
the benefit of the public. and especially of
the young. The ladies' library AMI the va
rious Sabbath school libraries do not fill the
requirements of the people. Many towns
smaller than Camden have excellent public
libraries and why should we not have one?
We have money enough and public spirit
enough in town. all that is needed Is to
make beginning and push it to success.
Whoever starts it viii he ably assisted by
all lovers of education. Camden Herald.

"A Well Housed Library
+ Boston Journal.

Augusta is the latest municipality that is
moving for a new public library building
and from the generous way in which It's
citizens are taking hold of it the success of
the enterprise would appear TO be assured
1t is a source of satisfaction that the library
movement has secured so strong a hold upon
New England communities. The first stage
is the procuring of a library, or rather the
nucleus of one, and the second the poses
sion of library building. Massachusetts
and New Hampshire have given public
assistance to this first work, and the reports
of the library commissioners would prove
suggestive to the legislators of other states
which have not taken such steps yet. The
second part will have to he performed
through private gifts or general subscrip-
tons But as the Importance of a we'll
appointed and ''well-housed" library is
among these things that constantly grow on
!, community we feel sure that the latter
will follow.

the powder used nj present burns slower
