a Royal Book BUYER.

Empress Catherine II of Russia was u
great reader and lover of books. One
of her services to letters in Russia was
the purchase of the libraries of Voltaire
and Diderot. She was warm friend
and admirer of these French philoso-
pliers, and their work interested her be
cause she was eager TO learn new theo-
ries of politics and government. Vol
taire's library of about 1000 volumes is
now a part of the Russian imperial Ii
brary in the Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase o.
Diderots library is interesting. 1t Is
creditable TO her tact and her generosity.
Diderot named $4,000 as the price of
his library Catherine III offered him
GIG 600 and named as II condition Of tine
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did
erot, without leaving Paris. became
GATHERINGS librarian in his own library.
AS her librarian he was given n yearly
salary of q, 900.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her IL
brary suffer through the negligence of a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for so years. AT the end of that period
she would make new arrangements. y

sent everyday characters from an every
day point of view. There is never any
thing offensive in them. Their obvious
aim is to teach q good lesson, and they
reach an enormous number of readers.
Her first book, Tempest and Sunshine, :"
was published in 1854, and since then
her publishers figures show that over
1900, 900 copies of her books have been
sold. She has written % different
stories and is now engaged on the
twenty-eighth.
From childhood Mrs. Holmes says she
was dreamer. and her world was filed
with shadowy people who seemed more
real to her and far less queer than her &C
tual companions and schoolmates. When
she told the girls at school that some
day she would write books and they would
read them, she was laughed at for her am
bition, but always felt the innate convic-
ton that what she said would come true.
She was born at Brookfield. Mass, and
her maiden name was Halves. Judge
Kirk Halves of Chicago is her brother.
Miss Halves began to write verses,
stories and sketches at the age of 13,
when she taught neighboring district
school for a term and boarded round"
and at ID she had the qualification Of
seeing her first effusion in print. 1t was
not till after she was married, however,
that she seriously contemplated profess
sional authorship. Her husband, Daniel
Holmes. was at that time n young law
yer of Richmond, n. Y, and it was after
they had settled at Brockport, where
they still live, that Mrs. Holmes first
book was written.
In person Mrs. Holmes is tall, slender
and graceful; has large blue eyes and
brown hair She is fond of children.
although her large, quiet home shelters
none of her own. She and her hus
band are great travellers, and when
they return from some foreign land
nothing gives the popular author so much
pleasure as to gather around her com
pany of young people and tell what she
has seen and learned abroad. Her beluti-
full home, with its music, its works of
art. its conservatory filled with rare
plants and flowers. is an index of her re
fined and educated character.

The firm did a general merchandising
business in Pullman for year and then

AS early as 1888 Mr.. Hopkins took an
interest in the politics of Hyde Park, not
then annexed. In 1885 he was elected
treasurer OF the village. Three years
later he aspired TO the position of dele
gate from his district to the Democratic
national convention, being defeated by
A. w. Green after contest which won
the admiration of local Democratic lead
ers, who fastened to make n friend of
the young man.
Since that time he has been influential
in Democratic counsels and has figured
on important committees. Last year he
was chairman of the local campaign
committee. He is the president of the
Cook County Democracy and Il member
of the Iroquois club, the 'tsilk stocking
Democratic organization. Rain or shine,
he never fails to turn out with the Cook

for sheriff and was defeated by Frank
Lawler.
President Cleveland knew Hopkins as

him to the White House. Last July
Comptroller Eckels appointed Hopkins
receiver of the Chemical National bank,
the appointment being construed as an
expression of confidence ON the part of
the administration.

Mushrooms.

There has been an unusual number of
mushrooms growing in this vicinity dur
ing the past three or four weeks and
numbers Of persons have taken advantage
Of The fact and gathered them. Early in
the morning is the best time to pluck
them, as the dew is still on and they come
up so much easier and look so much more
inviting. There are certain localities
where il is almost certain they may be
found, but this year there did not seem
to be any place hardly where their white
heads might not be seen. 1t is astonish-
ing how soon person-even little child
can learn to distinguish the difference
between mushrooms and toadstools. So
many persons say, "Oh, | am afraid of
getting poisoned il l eat them.n Well,
you might say that about every other
thing that one has no knowledge Of.
Canned fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and
oysters send numbers to their graves, and
yet the sale of such articles goes right on.
Any one who has gathered mushrooms
for years can easily give instructions IN
five minutes which will distinguish the
one from the other. As to modes of cook
Ing, mushrooms are susceptible of a hun
dred different ways, and then the inge-
nuity OF a master cook can find some
other way of sending them before you on
the table. Adjutant Van Solver is one of
the pioneer hunters in this neighbo.hood.
He says be has gathered them for the last
forty years 10 this and other localities.
There was splendid field of them on
Mr.. Daniel Stout's property, about two
miles from this city, just where the quar-.
ries OF Mr. Robert Dilts are being oper-
ated, and the workmen had splendid luck
every morning. Cultivated mushrooms
are taking the place of those that nature
supplies, although they are no better /;
but there is this 10 their favor, you can
get them all the year round.

The First Ward reporter for THE
RECORD has kindly furnished us with the
minutes of the last meeting of the "Mod-
els" as follows:
THE MODELS PROTEST.
The Models held meeting, ON the corner of Swan
and Main,
But the members seemed detected sad at heart
And the usual friendly greeting seemed TO give
each member pain,
And each Model from his neighbor stood apart
What has caused so much unhappiness, suspicion
and distrust
'Mong the Model Sons of Virtue, who were once
so bright and gay?
Twas the knowledge that they did not know the
scalawag unjust
Poet, member of the Models, who had given them
all away.
When the meeting came TO order, Michael Lucas
Said he hoped none OF the members would retire
Till they found the " Wicked Terror who had
treated them unfair,
Whose poetic pen seemed dipped In liquid Ire.
This ST arted commotion that his mallet could
And the meeting nearly broke up in fight,
But at last his mighty eoquence and energetic
Caused them all to come to order and conduct
the business right.
Then the member who is dead In love and stuck
upon himself,
who cried because the cops muSSed up his vest,
Said he hoped he'd die a bachelor, be laid upon
the shelf
If he could not whip the Poet-he at least could
try his best
Then Lem and Yosey Sly and sproat, each had
their little say.
And Marley. Mangan, Macky, Ryan told what
they'd like to do
If they only knew the sucker who had given the
gang away,
They would paralyze him, pulverize him, pull
his whiskers, too.
Some said !" 1t was fiddler, who has took to max
ing shoes"
Some said, 1t was the plcayune who plays the
clsrinet."
Some said, " 1t must be Doctor Pat that gathered
in the news"
Some thought 1t was brakeman, but they have
not found him yet.
Fred said he'd give dollar II he only knew the
man,
And Tommy sa i'd he'd double that. he'd empty
out the till,
Kn owlan ays, I'm little, but Pli do the best l
can"
Higgins said, I'll smash his face, his blood I'll
surely spill"
| Then Tommy blew his little horn and Ed his
clarinet;
The Models came to order. for the music made
them shiver;
Then Duffy cried, I'm fainting, boys l must my
whistle wet /"
The Goatsey made motion to adjourn to the
river.
There they drowned all their sorrows while i'm
bibing Adams ale,
| And kicked themselves because the town was
dry;
Then swore eternal friendship and hoped they'd
go to jail
| For numbering the Poet, then adjourned sine die
