RARE BOOKS.
BROWN UNIVERSITY LTBRAR Y CON-
TlINS TREASURES.
The "Harris Collection Of American
Poetry and the ''Mettalf Collection"
Which IL Composed of Pamphlets.

Brown university has a library OF $4,000
volumes. Am ong these many books are
two valuable collections which are great
treasures to the bookworm.
One is the
Harris Collection Of American Poetry
w hich contains 5000 volumes. The late
S enator Henry b. Anthony. who was n
member of the class OF 49,. presented tn
collection to his alma mater. In Il are
three books which have no known duDli-
Gates. The famou Cotton Mather is
the author OF two of them.
When the coll C ion bad reach d the
number OF 1900 volumes, an index was
printed, and "A copy OF it was sent Co tue
poet Bryant. In a note acknowledging
the receipt OF this index Mr.. Bryant
wrote to the donor: "Your work has
amazed me by showing me what multi
tudes OF persons IN our side OF the At
fsttie-Haxe-wasted their time in
writing verses in our language"
In like manner that distinguished anti
q~uarian, the late Samuel y. Drake of
Boston. wrote to c.. F. Harris. at the
line the owner OF the collection. M the
co npiler of the index: Il had reason TO
believe you possessed a very large co.
lection OF works in that department. Of
American literature, but was not pre-
pared to find you had such an immense
uOdl vi p1CAi1 4oIof oai0p "hth wv
heard n large amount Of money was paid
on some occasion. She didn't believe it,
COS Their wasn't SO much money in the
whole world Now. really l didn't think
in the whole world"
The other collection Is known as
"The Mctcalf Collection"
aud is made up of bound pamphlets.
Judge Metcalf was a member of the
class of 1905. and mt the time of his de-
cease In 1875 was one Of the Oldest living
graduates of the university. From
1882 to lSi3 he was a fellow, and
during n part Of this period
the secretary of the corporation.
The attachment Of Judge Metcalf to
the university was the attachment OF a
most loyal son, who felt that he could
owed to the mother who had SO fondlv
nourished him. His special pet WAS the
library, his interest in which was both
warm md practical For years he was
untiring In his efforts to enrich it with
the best pamphlet product ons of some of
the best writer's In the country. &.
The Metcalf collection contains nearly
AIS volumes. Suppose that each of these
volumes has in IL, on an average, twenty
pamphlets-whicn is a fair estimate
then we have in the whole coll ction
some 10000 pam. hlets, and this is the
number given by DR.. Guild, tae libra
riaa, as being in tue collection.
Tie range of subjects treated by the
authors Of these pamphlets is n very
wide one. For instance, there are fifty
eight volumes OF ordination sermons
preached by some Of the ablest and most
distinguished ciergymen in he country,
some OF these sermons dating back to
early New England times. There are
some seventy volumes Of funeral dis
courses. Almost every subject of popu-
lar interest will he found TO be repre-
ssnted in some one or more of the vol
umes of this great collection.

and Track Athletics.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 15.-Harvard
will be inscribed at least three times on the
trophy offered by the University Track
Athletic association. That fact was de-
cided when Harvard defeated Yale 81
points to As In the annual contest between
these Two universities in general athletics.
Bad weather always seems to wait on
these meetings. Two years ago when the
first contest was held Holmes field was
fairly afloat. Last year at New Haven it
was a drizzlinR, rainy day, and Saturday
was the worst of them all, for not only did
1t rain, but 1t was cold.
Notwithstanding the bad weather several
hundred people sat on the damp seats and
watched tho athletes Of the two rival uni
v~ersities contest for the honors of the day.
Not a few of these people were women,
and they were apparently the most en-
thusiastic of the crowd, for they showed
their joy and their sorrow at every posi-
BILE opportunity. The following table gives
In concise form the results Of the games:

Caught IN the Tolls

or that lurking foe, chills and fever,
we often struggle vainly to free our
selves from its clutch. Palliatives
there are without number, but if you
want a real remedy, as of course you
do if afflicted with this abominable
malady, hasten to buy and persistently
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. If
you follow this suggestion permanent
restoration to health will reward you.
Every form of malarial disease is per-
manently eradicated by the Bitters,
which is likewise reliable safeguard
against maladies of this type. Not
alone on this continent, but through
out the tropics, it is justly regarded as
a complete antidote to miasma poison
in air or water. No less effective is it
for disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, rheumatism, kidney COM
plants and nervousness. No one So
journing in a malarious region, or
who is subjected to outdoor exposure
in rough weather, or to excessive men,
tai or physical strain, should be with
out this fine defensive tonic,
