THE RETIRINGCI GOVERNMENT

The common council made its exit
last evening from tho municipal stage
after year devoted 10 industrious aud
conscientious consideration of several
important measures, which have con-
tributed TO the material growth and
prosperity of the city. Their dehbera.
tions have been marked 10y thoughtful
and intelligent discussion and sun
dry deadlocks which threatened
to defeat progressive legislation were
harmonized. Mayor Potter reulcs
from the executive chnir at the close OF
his second term with tho respect and ar-
preciaiion Of bis associates in both
branches iTcsps c'iye of party oai.iaion.
The administration OF President
Sellew has been marked by courtesy,
dignity and imhariialiiy, aud his
services were warmly eulogized by tho
minority. Perhaps 10 is useless TO add
that his re-elec ion IS fotegone con
clusion. as also that OF his efficient clerk
Nir. Hayden. Tho incoming city coun.
ell b an equally representative aud in
fuential body. and its Republican
majority was MT reduced W the " y.

The publication government statistics
q few day since shows the United states
TO be fully Gs well supplied with public
libraries os any European nation, besides
possessing the additional advantage OF the
institutions being freely open TO the
people az large without distinction Of class
which IS far from being tho case IN the
older Civilizations.
IL also appears that the character Of the
literature prevailing heFe-including both
that contained In public Libraries and
that distributed amongst the peoples
vastly more suitable to the requirements
OF the general public than il the case
abroad
There Is q somewhat less general dis
semination of tho class of works valuable
alone 10 savants and a proportionately
larger distribution OF works OF popular
educational worth, tqe classification OF
this character OF volume shows a great
and increasing demand by Americans for
books OF reference such as encyclopedias,
which fact speaks loudly OF the
knowledge loving proclivities OF our poo-
pie. We are not, 10 appears, at the head
OF the list as far as number is concerned
in regard to tho authorship OF such works
but those that are the product of
American scholarship and brains are much
more suitable in every way TO the wants
of the average reader than are tho pom
derous tones OF Europe. Concentration
without dlminution of informatiouappesrs
20 be the guiding principle OF our com-
pliers, whilst undue expansion without
proportionate increase OF value seems 90
-r- tr- T7--11 u77U17 vtTICtT t1uTOJCIns work.
With the view OF being able TO supply
our readers with the best encyclopedia
possible OF attainment we have made a
special study Of the subject and find these
statements fully borne out by our expert
ence.
The Encyclopedia Brittanica besides being
excessively bulky is very expensive, and
many Others of worldwide reputation
suffer from the same drawbacks, being
suited TO the posscssors OF roomy libra
ries and long purses only.
The one we have decided upon as best
fulfilling all requirements is Rand, Mo
Nally & Co.'s Encyclopedia and Gazet-
teer, therefore, in fullllment OF a purpose
TO give the readers OF THE NEWS a grand
opportunity, we have made arrangements
with the publishers OF IL, whereby we can
supply you with this volume
which is practically condensation of the
Encyclopedia Brittanica, Chambers Ency-
clopedia and others, together with new
matter specially adapted 20 this country
for q sum within the reach Of ALL
Believing the demand for such book to
be practically unlimited, we hayenot hesi-
tated TO purchase a number SO large that
the publishers furnished them TO Us at q
price lower than any such book has ever
before been placed on the market.
Our patrons win receive the full benefit
OF the low price resulting from this
wholesale transaction. For particulars as
to price and other details you are referred

A correspondent is informed that the
destructive element of pyrethrum is a
volatile oil which readily escapes as
soon as the powder comes in contact
with the air. Hence the powder should
not be unnecessarily exposed before it
is used. When it can be used in the
house and the room in which it is used
is tightly closed, it will kill anv insect
in the room, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs,
etc. The room should be closed for
several hours when used for such pur-
pose. When used on plants, of course,
great deal of the volatile principle is
lost, but still there is enough that comes
in contact with the insects to kill sew
eral species 1t is good remedy for
lice on live stock. The common cab
bage worm will also succumb to it In

A Suggestion.

The Office boy was slow, very slow, to
catch on to the less agreeable tasks of
his office, and he did not always have
the floor swept as neatly as it might
have been, or the furniture as carefully
busted, His employer was good-natured,
However, and tried to teach him by gen
tie means. The other morning he came
in and the place was untidy.
Prank" he said to the boy as he
nodded at some papers under the desk,
when you see such things as that on
the floor, don't they suggest something
to you?"
"ies, SIR replied Frank affably.
What, FRANKIE"
That some careless person has been
around the desk" said Frank, and he
got the bounce from the careless person
