inside covers are decorated with foliage,
flowers and birds in mosaic, with different
designs for each of the four surfaces. 1t is
of an edition limited TO fifty copies. 1t is
done on Japanese paper, and for illustra-
ton contains an original water color by
Leloir on the bastard title, proofs etchings
in quadruplicate, separate impressions of
the woodcuts of the text, and the series OF
Lalanzi's and Hecloen's etchings, artists
proofs. This last named edition rises to
the highest art in bookmaking of the
present day.
Public libraries may be the result of the
earnest endeavors of few, and be the ex-
preston of some leading minds. Not so
the private libraries. If one not acquaint-
ed with the facts might have look at the
bookmen's ledgers they might be surprised
to see the hundreds of monthly accounts
kept as regularly as the household ex-
penses, and in many cases exceeding them,
and they would need conclude that the
intellectual man is as we'll cared for as the
physical. And there might be greater sur
prise in finding that women are in a large
majority among the book-buyers: and
some young women, scarce out of their
teens, possess some of the largest and most
carefully and critically selected libraries.

of their libraries. Miss Kate Dillon's, even
yet In its infancy, is type of the young
woman's library. The general plan is to
embrace all the standard works of history,
poetry and fiction in good and substantial
binding, and to also add rare, beautiful,
limited and original editions of some of
the choicest works. Her special pride is
an edition of Oliver Twist, illustrated by
Cruikshank in his inimitable STYLE.
William H. Mills taste is for ESSAYS and
history, and so these volumes are in excess
in his library, although the poets and
novelists are not without good representa-
ton.
S. G. Kellogg's library is the type of the
mans who IS abreast of the times. While
its backbone is the standard works, every
new book on finance, political economy,
socialistic and religious questions are well
coined to its daily increasing ranks
DR.. E. R. Taylor is among the most
critical book-buyers. He has fine editions
of nearly all classical literature, and pos
sesses copy of every edition of Homer in
translation and many of the important
originals.
w. R. Hearst is not satisfied with books
as he finds them, and their covers are
stripped off and extra illustrations are
added, and the bookbinder's art is taxed
in devising new encasings. The illustra-
tons of several may be united with the
best printed text to form new copy His
extensive, costly and beautiful collection
OF books is rarely equaled.
and these are the types of the large
libraries, and there are few homes among
the upper classes that do not have their
collection of books, even though it is
small in number. All this argues well for
san Francisco and her people, and to
her remarkable growth in other lines will
be added her more important intellectual
growth

BIMETALLISTs MEET.
Sub Committees Appointed for the
Coming Convention.

SUBCOMMITTEE appointed for the
Coming Convention.
The executive committee appointed by a
meeting of bimetallists, held recently at
the Palace Hotel for the purpose of MAX
ing arrangements for bimetallic conven-
ton, to convene in this City August 10.
met yesterday afternoon at the headquar-
tiers of the American Bimetallic League in
the Mills building, George w. Baker pre-
siding. There were present: w. C. Price,
N. w Spaulding, w. l.. Dickinson, Her
mann Zadig, Julian Sonntag, August Water
man and George P. Keeney.
The secretary read a number of COM
munications from bimetallists of the inte-
rior relative to the proposed convention,
expressing hearty Endorsement of the
proposition, and predicting a successful
meeting. Many other letters asked for
bimetallic literature, especially the consti-
tuition of the American Bimetallic League,
and copies of the late call issued for State
convention. In order to supply this want
the committee decided to order printed
several thousand copies of the call in pam
phlet form for general information and
distribution.
Upon motion Chairman Baker appointed
several subcommittee from the general
committee, and assigned each a certain
field of labor in making preparations for
the coming meeting.
Subscriptions are coming in from many
quarters, and the committee members feel
assured that the convention will be the
biggest silver meeting ever held on the
coast.
Secretary Keeney has figured out that
the newspapers of California stand ten to
one in favor of free silver. "Party con-
ventions," said he, yesterday, ION the
financial problem are OF no use. The con-
vention called for August is not of one
party. 1t is absolutely non-partisan. We
in about equal parts. Each county is en-,
titled to five delegates at large, and one dele
gate for each 500 voters as registered at the
last general election. The only test is that
delegate must be an elector in tie county
which he claims to represent, and be in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver"

vessel is forward among the crew. Every
thing in that locality IS mo" and mot"
One is kept SO busy not doing things it's
wonder anything ever is done.
But it is the way there and is a part of
the internal government of the ship. The
powers that be on the quarterback of a
man-of-war are in nowise personally re-
sponslple for system they had no part in
bringing aboard, neither are they need
lessly harsh in executing commands that
have come down to them from source
they dare not question. The remedy, if
remedy there be, is beyond them, but the
system is monotonous, vexatious, irksome
and tlresome all the same. 1t makes the
enlisted men discontinued to see the acct
dent or rank carry away so many prlyi-
leges While their few favors are doled out
to them with reluctant hand. The naval
apprentice system, with its possibility of a
small insignificant promotion to the hardly
perceptible elevation OF gunner, and which
shoulder-strap writer's in the Naval Insti-
tute journal considered enough reward for
the ambitious boy who won his way from
forward, aft is failure.
The sensible youngsters see nothing in
the life but an inferior position all their
days and an asylum to die in. They gen.
orally take their final discharge at the
expiration of their term of enlistment, and
the service is not only drilling the boys to
calling they learn to hate. but is getting
no return for the time and care expended
upon them.
When the real friends of the service arise
in their places in Congress and enact that
the bright naval apprentice boy may work
his way aft into an officers commission,
then the flower of the American seafaring
youth will be found wearing all the blue
shirts in the white cruisers. That system
may not make quite as good officers as the
system at present in use, but it will make
better crews. The Government should do
more for the personnel of the navy and fit
it for the native-born boy alone. There is
nothing for him in the merchant vessels
that service has long gone begging for flags
and men in foreign seaports.

the medical inquisitor will take any stock

NEW TO-DAY.
THE REASONS WHY
NEW TO-DAY.
The Sc Rate Can Be Maintained at
the Copeland Institute.
Not Only the Cheapest Rate.
But the Very Best Treat
ment, Scientific, Painless
and EffiCaCiouS.

Whoever pays more than IS a month pays
too much. This is the charge of the Copeland
treatment. By universal admission this treat
ment is the best. This low rate has been the
means of making the practice of Drs. Copeland,
Neal and VIM the largest in the world. The
large practice makes it possible to furnish only
the best treatment and the very best medicines
at that low rate.
The public in its cordial reception OF the SIS
rate, in its generally voiced conclusion that
"whoever pays more pays too much" has made
the maintenance of the rate a possibility. AS
to the efficacy of the treatment thousands have
testified to the fact that they have been cured;
many more whose testimony has not been pub
ltshed have been cured They are your friends
for the truth. Why neglect disease which
not only endangers your life, but makes life not
worth living when the best treatment can be
had for so little money =?

Passing the doctor is the crucial test of
fitness when the recruit seeks to enter the
naval service. He may take in the enlist
ment officer on the question of age, nativ-
ity, and also morals, unless he is SO con-
scientious that his tongue cleaves to the
roof of his mouth-a possibility somewhat
remote-but weathering the doctor is a
much more difficult bit of sailing, for the
medicine-man of the navy is especially
fitted-in fact he has taken postgraduate
course-in finding man sick just when he
would be we'll, and well when he would be
sick ever afterward. Doctors may some
times agree with one another, but they
always disagree with sailors. There is
endless war between the two professions.
Generally the extent of an army or navy
surgeons practice in the piping times of
peace is bromo settler for officers and sui
phate of magnesia for the men. The
physical organizations of the two are, of
course, different, necessitating widely
separate modes of treatment. In the
realms OF therapeutics there has been found
only one drug that will have the same
effect upon officer and private, and that is
alcohol. Alcohol. as leveler of distinc-
tions, knocks out death, which enormously
has been thought to be pre-eminent in that
work.
The citizen and citizeness-bless the
French revolutionist for those noble terms
have very extravaganza ideas about the
military. The artist, the musician and
the poet have done much to raise war out

EFFECTIVE EIEc-


the early days of electric lighting people
were apt to think great deal more of the
mere fact of using an electric lamp than of
the actual efficiency of the light given by
1t. Nowadays, however, the consumer is
probably perfectly able to tell whether he
is getting full value in light for the money
he is paying the central station, and be-
tween the strict exaction of the consumer
and the competition of rival. lighting sys-
TENS, the electric light company can only
hope to succeed by the best service. Much
attention has been drawn of late to OBJ
tanning the most desirable results from
different methods of lighting, and the sub
ject has been brought down TO two main
considerations, namely-refection and diff
fusion. In factories and large shops it is
likely that the old practice of allowing
the light of the arc lamp to fall downward
will be discarded. 1t is found that by in
verting the lamp and throwing the light
TO the roof preferably of Whitley by a
powerful reflector, the rays are SO diffused
throughout the building as to give the
maximum efficiency without straining the
eyes of the workmen. The prevailing
methods in outdoor lighting, too. are con.
demned as crude and unscientific. The

power lamps, placing them proportionally
nearer together, at say the height of an or
binary gaslamp, using suitable rejecting
hoods and making the bottom half of the
globe semi-opaque and possibly tinting it a
deep orange color. There would be no
glare, as at present, and the effect would
be suggestive of the soft and artistic light
of the Chinese lantern. For incandescent
lamps luminous enamel is used which
entirely hides the filament and at the same
time disperses the light thoroughly. The
enamel is made in various colors, but the
white is to be preferred for general pur-
poses. In domestic lighting dioptric

Pain Loss of Blood.
In no one thing have Drs. Copeland, Neal and
VIM gained so much fame as in the removal
of polypus tumors from the nasal cavities.
Formerly the operation was attended with
much pain and loss of blood. By the operation
of these specialists it is comparatively painless
and bloodless and withal permanent.
The case OF Mr.. f. A. Pust, whose place OF
business is at 220 Bush street and who lives at
3O7 California avenue, is typical one. He

shades having prismatic corrugations on
their surfaces are coming into vogue.
They give a good diffusion of light with
little absorption, and when made of either
plain or tinted glass have brilliant effect.
In decorative lighting. many new ideas
have sprung up in the distribution of
masses of light in interiors, but none have
yet superseded in beauty and effectiveness
the system introduced last year of putting
the lamps out of sight and lighting the
room entirely by diffused and possibly
colored lights. This will probably be the
method OF illuminating churches in the
future. In churches VIII ere it has already
been adopted the effect is described as so
infinitely restful and appropriate that in
comparison the ordinary method of church
lighting seems garish and barbarous.
SENDING LETTERS By TELEGRAPH.-After
laboring for fifteen years on the problem
OF rapid biography by means of the type
writer, an inventor claims to have solved
it. The system is said to print Geographic
messages at the rate of 200 words minute.
The message is dictated straight to the
typewriting operator. By a device at
tached to the typewriter paper ribbon
about an inch wide is perforated by
series of holes, varying in position and
number according to the character repre-
sented. The actual perforation of the tape
is not done directly by the operator; if the
right letter is struck on the keyboard, the
machine automatically does the rest. When
the message is finished the ribbon is fed
into another machine. In it's passage over
a roller, small metallic fingers press upon
it. and as different holes come under the
fingers electrical connection is made with
the metal roller beneath, which produces
the necessary letters. This machine is in
synchronism with another machine at the
other end of the line, and whatever letters
are produced on one machine-say in New
York-are instantly reproduced on the
| other machine-say in Washington. The
invention can be applied to any standard
| typewriter. In the case of large business
| firms newspaper correspondents or others
| using the telegraph extensively punchers
| and ribbon would be attached to the type
writer's in their offices and the messages
would be delivered to the telegraph office
on spools ready for instant dispatch. By
! the new method all possibility of tapping
or robbing the message is obviated. The
| system is ten times swifter than the Morse,
and has the additional advantage of turn
| ing out the message on page form ready
| for delivery. The cost of transmission is
brought very low, and the possibilities OF
the system are suggested by the fact that
| business men, instead of sending their let
tiers by mail, can have them sent by wire
at the same cost as special delivery.
