ABSOLUTELY PURE
Weather Review for January.

1t appears to be the impression of a
great many that this winter has thus
lar been unusually mild in Washing
ton. Such is not the case, however,
for although undoubtedly mild, it has
not been more so shan the average
washington winter. Last December,
although so pleasant at it's close, was
colder than the normal; and January
past, as will be seen from the tables,
had mean temperature which was a
degree and half below the normal.
Probably it is the extreme eouabili-
ty, or uniformity in temperature day
to day, that has made this winter
seem remarkable. There have been
no extremely low temperatures this
year, and, on the other hand, the
maximum temperatures were not as
high as in former years.
At Seattle, during January, the
highest temperature was 5S the low
est 33; a monthly range of 25. The
daily range was 8.3, and the average
change, or variability, only degrees.
AT several of the Sound stations it
was even less. In eastern Washing
ton the lowest temperature at the
coldest station was only 6 below zero.
No violent storms passed over the
state, although there were two rather
severe ones which swept the coast
Jan. End to 10th to 18th.
The mean monthly temperature of
eastern Washington, 26.9; western
Washington, 37.4; for the state, 1926,
which is Id degrees below the normal
for years. e..
The highest temperature of the
month was 64 at Sulphur Springs on
the 9th; the lowest was 6 below zero
Ellensburg on the 11th and 18th. The
greatest monthly range was 81 at
Walla Walla; the least was 20 at In
dex. Mean monthly range in eastern
Washington, 80 :; in western Washing
ton, 80.
Mean total precipitation in eastern
Washington, 3.46 inches; western
Washington, 7.65; for the state, 5.92,
or OLA inches in excess of the nor
NAL for the past 6 years. The great
est amount was 1856 inches at East
Clallam; the least amount O.75 inches
at Conconully. There was consider
able snow both in the eastern and
western divisions. That in west
Washington occurred principally on
the Sd and 4th, and soon melted away
At Seattle IL inches occurred, Oiym-
pia II, Port Angeles Is, and Grand
Mound 25 inches. In eastern Wash
ington the snowfall averaged 25 inches
and at some mountain stations as
much as feet fell.
The prevailing wind was from the
east in western Washington, and from
the west in eastern Washington. The
tables of daily rainfall show that the
rainfall was we'll distributed through
out the month. The 25t to the 29th
were without rain at all stations.

One has a kind Of contempt for the col
lector who has no speciality and buys with
out discrimination and even without in
spection. Mr. Heber the brother Of the
bishop, was purchaser Of this class "a
book IL a book, he said, and he bought all
that came IN his way 10y carloads and ship
loads and In whole libraries, on which. in
some cases, he never cast his eyes. The
most jealous lovers Of books have smiled az
his duplicates, quadruplicatcs and multi.
piled specimens Of single edition.
Rawlinson. another English collector, had
the same insensate craving, and II he had 20
copies of u book would always buy another
His covetousncss increased as the mass Of
his library was multiplied, and as he lived, 4"
said Oldys, so he died among dust and cob
webs, ia his bundles, piles and bulwarks Of
paper"
OF similar disposition was the far more
famous Antonio Magliabecchi, who is said
TO have lived on titles and indexes. and
whose very pillow was folio. 'The old
bibliomaniar lived in n kind Of cave made
of piles and masses of books, with hardly
any room for his cooking or for the wooden
cradle lined with pamphlets which he slung
between his shelves for bed. He died in
l114, in his eighty-second year, dirty, ragged
and as happy as king" Another Floren
tine of that century-Giovanni Lami-show-
ed the same devotion to books, and died
with manuscript in his arms "'Tis hard
to part when friends are DEAR" says Mrs
Barbauld, and death for the bibliophile has
an additional pang.-London Spectator.

In Genoa there are regular marriage
brokers, who have pocketbooks filled
with the names of manageable girls OF
the different classes, with notes of their
figures, personal attractions, fortune and
other circumstances These brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange connec-
tions in the same offhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to bear
upon a merchandise transaction, and
when they succeed they get commits
sion of or 8per cent upon the portion,
with such extras or bonuses as may be
voluntarily bestowed by the party. Mar
riage at Genoa is thus oftentimes sim
ply matter of business calculation,
generally settled by the parents or rela-
tions, who often draw up tho contract
before the parties have seen one another,
and it is only when everything else is
arranged and few days previous to
the marriage ceremony that the future
husband is introduced to his partner for
life. Should he find fault with her man
ners or appearance he may annul the
contract on condition of defraying the
brokerage and any other expenses incur.

HE is NOW ON THE STAGE
Sconchin Maloney Has Left the Field of
Politics
Huntington Has Got Rid of Him, and He Is Now
Looking Out for the Benefits in San
Francisco Theaters

SAN FRANCISCO. March 21.-scon.
chin Maloney, the irrepressible orator,
Shakespearean spouter, ETC., has entered
the theatrical field as an all-around
spieler. About two years ago he found
his exchequer at low ebb. 1t was an ''off"
year. There was no pressing need for his
knowledge of the law nor for his classic
lore. Maloney hit upon the idea of get
ting up theatrical performances for his
benefit. His name did not grace the pos
the columns of the press. 1t sufficed to
tell every one of his friends that he was
going to have benefit, and he disposed
of many tickets. The venture yielded him
a snug little sum, and he was not 10th to
repeat the experiment
On Monday, March II, he again had
benefit at the Alcazar Theater and cleared
a nice sum. without incurring either ex-
pense or risk to hin: self. He is preparing
for another benefit in the near future at
the same play house. His method is very
simple. He ascertains from the manage
ment of the theater what night there is
likely to be a short demand for seats.
Having learned that he obtains a lot of
tickets and starts out to sell them. The
management claims that these sales do
not interfere with the regular patronage
of the house. as Maloney sells his tickets
almost exclusively to politicians and men
in office, most of whom are considered
"deadheads. Maloney receives one-half
of the proceeds of his sales. He increases
the receipts of the house for that evening
and makes handsome profit for himself.

FOUND OUT
Identity of a Young Woman Who Committed
Suicide In Boston

Identity of q Young Woman Who Committed
Suicide In Boston
NEW YORK, March 21.-The identity
of the young woman who committed sui
eide at the Adams House, Boston, has
been stablished. She had lived here
several years, but never lived in Holyoke,
it is said. She registered from the latter
place and signed fictitious name, Grace
M. c.. Norton. on the hotel register, for
the avowed purpose of hiding her identity,
for she went to Boston with her mind
fully made up to take her own life. Clara
Hathaway was her maiden name. About
a year ago she went to Boston, her friends
Rice's Extravaganza Company. There
she met wealthy manufacturer, Aich
Laird of Pittsburg who induced her to go
to Pittsburg and live with him.
Last August, it is said, the woman in
sisted on marriage, and quarrel was
the result. The aid of the police was in
voked by Laird, and Miss Hathaway was
accompanied fifty miles on jorney to-
ward New York by Pittsburg officer.
promptly returned to Pittsburg and pros
ecuted Laird criminally for his part in
her forcible removal from the city. She
succeeded in having him fined. Then
she began suit for breach of promise
of marriage against Laird. This action
was pending at the time of her death.
Miss Hathaway is described as an educated
woman, and is said to have been the
daughter of wealthy parents. She eloped
from an Iowa seminary at the age of H.
and was disowned by her father. and
when deserted by her husband, two years
after her marriage, she would not seek a
reconciliation.
