1870 congress passed law providing
that the librarian shall perform ali
acts and duties required by law touch.
ing copyright" This put upon him a
vast amount of detail work wholly
foreign to the legitimate duties of a
librarian.
Every new book, nearly, is copyright
ed, also great many separate articles,
pieces of music, and even title pages.
The money in those cases comes in drib-
lets. 1t would be strange indeed if a
genius for books were coupled with a
genius for bookkeeping, or even with
ordinary talent in that direction. Mr..
Spofford has been obliged to depend in
these matters upon others. The fees
received are to be paid into the treas
ury of the United States. AS matter
of course, the librarian was not expect
ed to personally look after the finances
of the office.
The law itself, says the Chicago In.
ter Ocean, ought to be changed so as to
relieve the librarian from any financial
annoyances and responsibilities. 1t
may be set down as morally certain
that no man really fitted to be the
librarian is adapted to ''the duties re.
CURED by law touching copyrights"

learned Presbyterian minister of that
city, and when approaching his ma
jority he began reading law and for a
short time taught school. In 1858 Mr..
Campbell entered the United States
naval service, became masters mate,
and took part in several engagements.
He was admitted to the bar in 1850. In
1875 Mr.. Campbell was elected prose-
cutting attorney of Butler county and
held the Office four years. From 1877
to 1879 he was United States commits

gress as a democrat. In 1889 he de-
feated Hon. j. b, Foraker for governor
of Ohio, and in 1891 was defeated by
Hon. William Mckinley.

Electricity In the Barber sbop.

Every day some new use to which
electricity may be applied comes to
light. 1t has now entered the barber
shop and displaced the shears. The
new electric barber appears to consist
of O. comb, over the teeth of which IN
stretched platinum wire. A push or
switch arranged over the handle of the
comb enables the barber to throw a
current of electricity through the
teeth o,swire over the same and thus
raise TIE temperature to bright heat.
The comb is then passed through the
hair, which it .cuts" or singes off, it is
stated, as smoothly and slillfully as an
expert operator could clip it. The
locks are, it is claimed, rather bene-
fited than injured by the process, as
the hairs do not "bleed" as they do
when cut bv scissors

Though he has given up the highest

SON Of this quality the family of Prim-

important and by all odds the richest

In 1874 Rosebery was first heard of in
American society. He was twenty
seven years old when he came to the
great metropolis, avowedly on the look

the leading lawyer in certain special
ties in New York, took the youthful
British peer in hand William Henry

LIBRARIAN SPOFFORD.
Many Think He Should Not Lose
His Present Position.
Why the Librarian of Congress should he
Relieved from Financial Responsi-
biiities--ConGense History of
the Dolce.

4 j.
An attempt is being made to retire
Ainsworth r. Spofford from the office
of librarian of congress, position he
has held many years. 1t is charged
that his accounts are muddled, and that
he cannot account for all the money he
has received. No one accuses him of
dishonesty.
The position of librarian TO take
charge of the library of congress has
attached to it salary of $4,000, and is
at the disposal of the president, with
out the need of senatorial confirmation.
Mr.. Spofford has been retained under
one administration after another with
out the slightest difficulty, and solely
on his merits. He is beyond dispute
the greatest librarian the country ever
produced, and It may well be doubted
II he ever had an equal. His genius for
the duties properly belonging to a L.
brarian is phenomenal, and his loss
would be absolutely irreparable and
very great. 1t is not often that loss
|. is really irreparable. He entered the
library as assistant in 1851. He was
even then man of wonderful knowl-
edge of books He had been a book
publisher and seller in Cincinnati, and
later an editor.
From the first almost he was re-
lied upon by congressman as authority
upon all matters which required erudi-
ton in congressional debate Even
Charles Sumner deferred to and leaned
upon Mr.. Spofford. In 1864 he was
made librarian, a position he has held
over thirty years. During that time
the library of congress has become one
of the best working libraries in the
world, and Washington a center of in
tellectual activity. The historian, Ban
croft, settled there to have Mr.. Spot
ford and that library at his elbow. He
has shown remarkable Judgment in the
purchase of books, and especially in
knowing just where to find whatever
one may need for gi, en- literary pur-
pose. Then, too, in library architec-
ture he has shown most excellent judg-
ment.
The library of congress and the Office
of librarian date back to 1902, but in

Some Wholesome Perfumes.

A French naturalist has discovered
that many perfumes are not only harm
less, but actually of value to health.
He demonstrates this fact by the re-
suits of an experiment, whereby they
exposed number of disease microbes
to the action of various essential oils
distilled from flowers and plants. Bit
ter almc nds, wallfowers, thyme,
lemon and mint proved extremely
deadly, while lavender ranked higher
than either eucalyptus, turpentino or
caxnphor.

Curing Lain ess In Holland.

The Hollanders are not fond of lazy
people, and they have a very good way
of curing persons who can but won't
work. If a pauper who is able to work
refuses to do SO they put him in els
tern to which pump is attached, and
turn on stream of water. This stream
flows into the cistern just slowly
enough to enable the lazy person by
lively pumping to keep the water from
getting up over his head.

Among the latest inventions which
Yankee genius has given the world is a
doorknob which renders latch key

the same manner as safe lock until
the proper combination is secured the

oeptible of 100, 900 combinations, and he
who knows not or has forgotten the
proper one cannot obtain admittance
through that door.

A Long, Brilliant Record of Re-

Neuralgia and rheumatism-two dis

Physician to-day get rid of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia, as they do Sleep
lessness, melancholy, hysteria and 9TH
er results of nervous exhaustion, by
building up the system and supporting
it's delicate nerve parts by the use of
Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound attacks the
disease by getting the system back to
it's properly nourished condition. 1t
stands alone in the history of medicine.
1t is certain specific for the cure, not
only of rheumatism, but also of all dis
eases due to impoverished nerves and
blood.
The close connection of well-fed
nerves and brain with health, is the
solid rock upon which Paine's celery
compound stands. The thousands of
men and women all over the country
who have been cured of rheumatism
once and for all, by Paine's celery COM
pound, have made good all that the
medical fraternity first predicted for
it.
That it restores health and strength
to the body made weary, nstless anu
respondent from nervous debility,
needs no proof to-day in thousands of
homes.
The list of those il has freed from
rheumatism is long one. 1t contains
host of well-known men and women
at home and abroad. Every city and
town in the United States and Canada
is represented
Paine's celery compound was first
prepared by Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D., LII. D., of Dartmouth college.
Ever since its first appearance it has
been the one recognized nerve and brain
invigorator among medical men. Its
constant use by physicians, where an
active nutriment is urgently needed,
speaks volumes for its efficacy in dis
eases of nervous origin.
Strength, buoyant spirits and freedom
from pain comes with its use.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
