States containing 200 volumes and up

library was founded, how it is supported,
whether it is free or subscription IL
brary, the number of volumes it contains,
and the names of the Librarians. A COM

the statistics of 1891. The increase in the
number of libraries was from 2,9S7 to s.

both in commentator and in criticism.
While the congress or elastic inset is the
easiest of management, it has also the
disadvantage that it exerts a continuous
compression about the ankles, and thus
in a degree corresponding to the tense
ness of the rubber interferes with the
circulation. while it is very likely to
draw and disarrange the stocking. 1t is
decidedly difficult to get buttons so ar
ranged as to give perfect fit to all parts
of the foot and ankle and to get them
securely fastened to the leather exactly
opposite the buttonhole. But when this
is done method of fastening is provided
which proves very satisfactory for all
manner of service.
The lace has manifold advantages. 1t
is quite liable to break, without any pre-
liminary warning; it has way of spon-
taneously untying. or of getting into a
taugle which Is even more difficult to
manage: it is not easy to get the shoe adj
justed smoothly and perfectly. Yet
when this is done. when the knots are
made secure and the fiber is so strong
that there is no danger of breakage, the
lace doubtless enables the wearer to get
the most perfect fit attainable in either
method and 10 adapt it to circumstances,
making it more or less snug as occasion
may require, or here tight and there
yielding. if necessary to favor a sensitive
part.
\ great deal depends upon the judg-
ment exercised in selecting shoes. On
the one hand. it is for ordinary persons
unwise to buy the fancy, high priced
articles, which are temptingly displayed
in the shop windows to attract the pub
lie. With the exception of being unique
these have nothing to recommend them.
1t is advised in Good Housekeeping to
get the standard serviCeable goods that
have been tested. which the merchant is
ready to warrant. because he knows
whereof he affirns. 1t is equally I'M
wise to buy coarse, i'll fitting, perishable
| shoes simply because they arc cheap.
While the initial cost may he a little
| less, a we'll made and we'll fitting article
| will wear much more than enough long
| err to compensate for the difference, tC
say nothing of the comfort to be enjoy
ed or the satisfaction always to be felt
in the proprietorship of desirable out
| fit.
For those who desire something out OF
| the ordinary line, the shops now present
| such Il variety of footwear as has never
been exhibited before. There are shoes
slippers ami boots of all colors, of end
less variety of pattern. For street wear
| the high cut shoe in straights, goats
calfskin, dongola kid and heavy Frencl
kid. afford a variety for selection. The
most popular of all is perhaps the French
kid. For house wear, many select a low
cut shoe or slipper in light French kit
or suede. For women's evening wear
shoes are generally made of material tC
match the gown.

estimated at its true value by the Ameri-
can public. Commissioner Blount's man
ner toward me in the following weeks I
would not allude to here were it not Also
lutely necessary to do so.
He coldly repealed my kindly intentioned
offers and did not allow me to show to him
the customary forms of introducing him
to the foreign diplomatic officials and to
the chief public men of Honolulu. How
much of his singular course in these re-
CARDS was due to the want of knowledge,
and how much to his already matured pur-
pose to make out a case against the United
States minister, the naval commander and
the provisional government, the American
public must judge. All insinuations and
implications in Blount's report that was
averse to his access to the legation records
is a shameless perversion of facts.
Mr.. Stevens then goes into an exhaustive
review of Blount's stay in Hawaii and also
takes up at length the causes which led to
the deposiDG of Queen Liliuokalaui.

square envelope. The pins are inserted
at the edge. They are made of two
pieces of cardboard covered with white
silk and put together over a half inch
stuffed bag of the same size. The ad-
dress Of the person for whom they are
intended is written out first on tracing
paper, then transferred to the silk and
outlined. A stamp is put on one corner
it may be painted there if one is clever
with a brush, or genuine stamp affixed
in the usual way. A ribbon loop is at
tached 10 one corner by which to hang
them. The foregoing suggestion is made
