famous tor its cures of bad colds. 1t
opeas the secretions, relieves the lungs
and aids nature in restoring the system
to healthy condition. If freely used
as soon as the cold has been contract
ed, and before it has become settled in
the system, it greatly lessons the sever
ity of the attack and has often cured in
a single day what would have been a
severe cold. For sale by Longwell

Vast Audience,

writers of Books in English Have This
| Vast Audience,
The population of the British islands
is 10000, 900; that of the states is So
0OO, 900, says Sir Walter Besant in The
Queen. There are about 20,0O0,0O0 in
our colonies and in India who speak and
read our language-120,O 100000 in all
Now, consider what this represents to
a writer as an audience. You think 1t
is impossible for man to command the
attention of this vast body? l will
show you that it is by no means i'm
possible. First of all, they all read
the whole of these millions read. Next
we are multiplying free libraries every
where; there are about 300 in this coun-
try, 1000 in Australia, 800 in New
Zealand, 1900 in the United States and
so on-the number increasing every
day. Every one of these Libraries will
have to take the new book of the pop
ular writer-whether poet, preacher,
teacher or novelist. 1t will take, in
many cases, several copies. Well, with
certain exceptions, there is no place of
residence which is not within easy
reach of some town or township, there
fore within easy reach of free library.
Then I have learned practically, by
walking about this country, that mar
ket towns are, as 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. 1t
will not be long before every market
town in these islands will have it's free
library. The same thing may be said
of America and Australia. Then every
man or woman who reads, /. e., all but
the children, will be able to get at any
new book by a good writer, and the
possibility of speaking to the whole Of
the English speaking races will be ac-
complished. There will not, after all,
be so many Libraries. How many will
be wanted in Great Britain and Ire
land? If we reckon one library for
every 10000 people, we shall want
1000 Libraries, of which about 300 will
be wanted for London alone. Practi-
cally the libraries of the great cities
must serve far more than 10000 peo-
pie for each. Probably each one will
have to supply the wants Of 100000 peo-
pie. On the other hand the smaller
towns will have Libraries for much
smaller population. In other words,
5000 free Libraries, properly placed,
would suffice for the wants of the whole
English, speaking world.

Sir Arthur Bigge Said to Have Great
Tact
Arthur John Bigge has been appoint
ed by GU On Victoria to be her private
secretary, in place of Sir Henry Pom
sonby, who has been very III for some
time. Sir Arthur Is said to have re-
markable courtesy, talent, and tact. He
was Lieut.-Col. Bigge of the Royal Ar
tillery. when appointed. but the Queen
made him knight as a further mark of
her esteem. Sir Arthur Bigge, X. @. b.,
G. NJ g., comes of an old Northum-
brian family, being the son Of the late
Rev. j. f. Bigge, vicar of Stamford
ham, Northumberland. He is in his
46th year. Entering the Royal Artil-
lery in 1869, he successfully became
captain in 1880, major in 1885, and
ieutenant-colonel in 1898. He served
through the campaign in Zululand In
1S7S-'79, and was mentioned in dis
patches. In the latter year he was ap-
pointed aid-de-camp to Sir Evelyn
Wood. The French Prince Imperial,
when attached to the Royal Artillery,
became acquainted with Lieut.. Bigge,
whose intimate friend he remained un-
til the young Princes tragic death in
South Africa. He became groom-in-
waiting in 1880, and seven months lat
er was appointed assistant private sec.
rotary to the Queen. The ability with
which he performed these duties
marked him out for further promotion
in the royal household, and this was not
long in coming. In 1881 he was made
equerry in ordinary. In that year
Bigge married Constance, daughter Of
the late Rev. w +. Neville.
