Audience.

The population of the British islands
is 4O,000,000; that of the states is sc. o0O,-
coo. There are about 100000 in OUT
colonies and in India who speak and
read our language-12O,O oO, 0CO in all
Now, consider what this represents TO
writer as an audience You think it is
impossible for man TO command the
attention of this vast body? will show
you that it is by no means impossible.
First of all. they all read-the whole
Of these millions read. Next we are
multiplying free libraries everywhere;
there are about 500 in this country, l.
600 in Australia. 300 in New Zealand, l.
500 IN the United States, and so on-tbe
number increasing every day. Every
one of these libraries will have to take
the new book of the popular wgitsr-
whether poet, preacher, teacher or nov
elist. 1t viii take, in many cases,
several copies. Well, with certain ex-
CeDtions, there is no place of residence
which is not within easy reach of some
town or township, therefore within
easy reach of free library.
Then 1 have learned practically. by
walking about this country, that
market towns are, as a rule, placed at
eight or ten miles from each other; this
means that the average distance from
a market town is less than five miles.
II will not be long before every market
town in these islands will have its free
library. The same thing may be said
of America and Australia. Then every
man or woman who reads. j. e.. all but
the children, will be able 70 get at any
new book by a good writer, and the
possibility of speaking to the whole of
the English-speaking race viii be ac-
complished. There will not, after all.

II we reckon one library for every 20, 900
people, we shall want 1000 libraries, OF
which about 300 will be wanted for Lon
don alone. Practically the libraries Of
the great cities must serve far more
than 10000 people for each. Probably
each one viii have 10 supply the wants
of 100000 people. On the other hand,

Although Mrs. Collins writing has
always been a labor of love, yet such
incessant mental eXertion could not fail
to have its effects on her nervous sys-
tenn.
At one time she found herself tired
out and weak from her uninterrupted
work; she became nervous and inca
pable Of work; she even saw nervous
prostration staring her in the face. The
general toning up that her system
needed so badly she found in Paine's
celery compound. Today she is perfect
ly well and strong again, busy as ever
with her brain and pen, and grateful
to Paine's celery compound for the
timely help when failure and trouble
and despair seemed about to close
round her and shut her off from
everything that was dear.

porter. Eyes; you have no idea how

Paine's celery compound is found to

The First Log Cabin in Kentucky.

The flourishing little city of Harrods
burg, the county seat of Mercer county,
Ky, was the scene in the latter part
of the last Gentry of some very ex-
citing episodes in the history Of the
early settlers in the young state. On
June 16, 1774, Capt. James Harrod, OF
Virginia who had brought party Of
settlers TO the new country, laid off
town site at Big Springs camp, where
they erected the fl st cabin ever built
in Kentucky. They allotted to each
man n half-acre lot and a ten-acre out
,ot. The towns first name was Har-
rodstown, but later this was changed to
Harrodsburg. A clearing was made in
the east end of the town boundary, and
here ii was that John Hartman planted
and raised the first corn that was
known TO have been grown in the state.
Only few weeks after this suspicious
beginning of the towns promoters
four of Harrod's men were ambushed
by Indians. Jared Cowan was killed.
The other men escaped. only one OF
Them being njured-LouisvilIe Post.

JACK RABBITS For couRsINe.
Said to Be Greatly Superior to the EngHsl
Hara q IA Rrnrrn.sa

Said TO Be Greatly Superior to the Engnsh
Hare for That Purpose.
| The sport of rabbit coursing is receiy-
| ing a new impetus since the Kansas
black-tailed jack rabbit has entered
the arena. Not until quite recently
has the coursing fraternity been aware
Of the great superiority Of the jack
over the cottontail rabbit or the Eng
lish hare for this purpose. Kansas
jack rabbits are now greatly in de-
mand, both in this country and in Eng
land, and live ones command a good
price. The difficulty in catching them
alive is very great. and Only one man
in Kansas, so far as known, has given
his undivided attention TO the work
Charles Payne, Familiarity known
throughout the west as a hunter and
plainsman, has been a Jack rabbit en-
thusiast Tor years. and it is largely
through his efforts that the merits of
the animal for coursing purposes have
become so generally recognized. The
capture of a live jack rabbit involves
the purchase of a great desl of expen-
sive paraphernalia. Mr.. PAYNE has two
nets made of seine Irvine. five feet in
height, which, when both are extended.
reach almost across a section, and
made expressly for catching live Jacks.
His method for trapping the live jacks
is unique. 1t is his usual custom, when
preparing for the raid upon the rabbits,
to advertise among the farmer bows
the day upon which the jack rabbit
drive is 10 take place.
At the appointed time hundreds of
country boys, mounted on ponies, flock
10 the rendezvous, armed with fog
horns, drums, bells. and anything else
that will make discordant music. They
are deployed in a semicircular line
two miles in front of the net, and at a
given signal from the marshal of the
day the line moves toward the net,
each man making all the noise pos
sible. If the hunting grounds have
been well selected the horsemen will
have no trouble in bouncing" rab-
bits innumerable, and as they scamper
away toward the net, followed pell
nell by the eager farm boys, the scene
is one of great animation. The rab-
bits, if they do not become confused
by the noise and excitement, bound
away toward the net at almost light
ming speed, and many of them strike
the net so hard that they break their
necks. Those that survive the shock
scamper into the pockets which are in
geniouSly arranged for their receDtion
and for them the jig is up. Rabbits
sometimes die with fright not having
sufficient strength to make the race for
life
These rabbit drives are among the
most popular sports in which the prai-
RE tarDers indulge, and it is customary
for tt-e organizer of the drive TO pro-
vide a bouh>eous spread for his gra-
tuitous helpers.--Philadelphia Times.

HABITS OF BATS.
Though Appearing to Be Blind They
Avoid Obstacles In Flight.

Though appearing to Be Blind They
Avoid Obstacles I'm Flight.
! A number of interesting observations
of the habits of the common bat and the
long-legged bats in captivity are re-
| corded by Mr.. John D. Batten. Com
mon bats appear to be practically
blind, yet Mr.. Batten mentions that he
never luewa bat TO fly against window
or against any obstacle, light or dark
ness apparently making no difference
in its fight. Long-eared bats appear
TO see better than common bats, and
their hearing is much more acute.
There is seldom any difficulty in Undue
ing bats to feed. Mr.. Batten fed his
bats at first on flies, moth and grass
hoppers, but when these became
scarce he fed them almost entirely
upon meal-worms. 1t is remarkable
that bats, On being captured, readily
adopt an entirely new method of life.
and the new habits thus acquired quick
1y become natural.
When bats are asleep in October and
November, they take sometimes as long
Batten has observed the process care
fully, and finds it to be always the same.
He thus describes it: THE bat when
thoroughly asleep is cold, dead cold to
the touch. If / then took it in my hand
it would not attempt to move about or
seek for food, but lie quite still. On put
ting it to my ear could hear a throh
bing begin, at first very slowly and not
very regularly, more than a second be-
tween the beats. Gradually the throb-
bling became quicker and quicker until
st was impossible to count the beats,
at the same time the warmth of the
body was increasing very rapidly, apd
the bat quivering visibly. At last the
throbbing becomes continuous whirr,
not unlike the purring of a cat, and the
body feels quite hot to the hand. Then,
rather suddenly, the throbbing quiets
down like water coming to the boil, il
slows somewhat, and becomes almost
inaudible. The bat coughs or sneezes,
chatters little with its teeth, and be-
gins to move about expecting to be fed"
OF three bats set to hibernate at the end
of November in 1890, two were found
dead at the end of the following Jan
uary, and one was alive and perfectly
strong; its fur was in good condition
and it fed well, and the Information had
not affected its power of flight-Natuye
