FACTS AND FIGURES
Second Annual Report Of the Butte
Free Public Library.
THE NUMBER OF BORROWERS
Librarian Davies Completes a
Statement That s of General In
terest- statistics for Refer
ence-Financial Accounts.

A great deal of valuable information
is contained in the second annual re-
port of the Butte Free Public library,
which will be presented to the board
of trustees this evening by Librarian
John F. Davies. The library completed
its second full year April 1 and Mr..
Davies completed his report yester-
day. The following facts and tables
are taken from the report:
During the year 1S95-96 the library
was open 304 days for the issue of
books for home use and the reading
room was open 356 days. The number
of book borrowers cards issued from
the opening of the library to April 1,
1896, was 1863. OF this number 1878
had expired by limitation and 237 had
been Cancelled by guarantors or sur
rendered by holders. The total number
in force April /, 1896, was 3,159. of which
number 3,123 were secured by guaran-
tors and SO by a cash deposit. Eight
hundred and thirty-six cards have been
filled and new ones issued in their
place, while 124 have been lost and re-
placed at the expense of the holders.
The practice of issuing a duplicate card
for the use of books in standard classes
TO such members as desire this further
accommodation was inaugurated on
March 10 and had been in operation
three weeks at the closing of the books.
During this time rs such cards were is
sued.
During the year several copies of cur
rent issues of Century, Harpers, ST.
Nicholas and Scribner's magazines
have been purchased for the home use
of patrons. A small beginning has
also been made in the binding of the
stores of magazines and pamphlets be-
longing to the library. The first num-
Der of a bulletin containing the latest
additions ITO the library and the be-
ginning of a supplement to the printed
catalogue has been issued. These new
features have been received with much
favor and have added greatly to the
usefulness of the library.
The number of volumes in the library
April /, 1895. was 1872. During the
year $50 volumes were added by pur-
chase, 1S6 by the binding of magazines
and 1.4S6 were received as donations
making the total number of accessions
2,25S. This number diminishes by 1876
volumes worn out and condemned and
II volumes lost and paid for makes
the total contents of April /, 1896, ~. 423
The most considerable donation of
the year consisted of the entire law
library of Hon. Moses Kirkpatrick
which on his death was turned over to
the library by his widow. This collec-
ton consisted of $40 volumes and fills
place for which the library had no
other provision.
The following table gives the CLASH
fed contents OF ehe library at the be-
ginning of each of the last three years:

were collected on 5.306 of the 5,3I3
books which were kept out over time;
IL fines on books returned when over
due were unpaid on April /. OF these
have since been collected and the 9th r.
will soon be paid. The average time
beyond that allowed by the rules that
the 5,313 delinquent books were re-
turned was less than 3 days. On April

book borrowers. 26 of which were over

good. 1t would certainly add nothing
to the output OF our gold mines. 1t
would not stop gold from going abroad
when needed there; it would bring no
gold into the country, it would add
nothing to the aggregate supply any,
where, and the scarcity OF gold would
threaten our finances just as it does to-
day.
The truth is, gold is sCarUe every
where, except in a few great banks.
Silver has been demonetized, the de-
mand for gold greatly increased, and
the whole OF the world that has
adopted the gold standard is strug.
Cling madly for the limited supply.
Prices have fallen about one-balf and
the end is not yet.
This is the real trouble, but the
goldite would make people believe
that an evil OF this kind can be over
come by the simple expedient of
changing one kind of paper for
another, and giving the banks com.
plete control of our finances.

What Then9

The following pertinent questions
are asked by correspondent Of the
New York Sun. The communics-
tion is signed Banker" which shows
that some good can even come out Of
Nazareth.
When the greenbscks have been re.
tired, what then? What kind of law
full money will be available for the 25
per cent. reserve fund OF the banks?
Gold!
Where will the gold come from to
settle the international "balance OF
tradeW From the banks!
Then what will become of the gold
reserve OF the banks, and what will
then become of the banks when their
"gold reserve" is exhaustedf And
how will the suspension of specie pay
ments by the banks affect the public
mind?
There is now about 5000, ,0OO, 600
gold in the country available for the
25 per cent. lawful reserve, and more
than $4OO,OOO,0OO is needed. Where
shall the banks get all this gold 'FRONT.'
These are pertinent questions which
our Don Quixote and his faithful
Squire have not grappled with.

found that we had been despoiled of
our property, that We had not even a
part interest in our own children !;
that the shameful laws concerning the
cage of consent" left our daughters
when mere children at the mercy OF
vile wretches, and from agonized
mother hearts has gone up the cry,
Brothers, We don't want to be repre-
sen.cd that way, and wo won't be rep
resented that way. With Gods help
we are going to get the ballot for our
selves" Yet, according to our own
showing, we have accomplished some
thing with our petitions. Yes, when
after untold expenditure of labor, time
and money, We have succeeded in get
ting the petition presented and backed
by voters. But, brothers, we are tired
OF this laborious, roundabout way. We
are convinced that from every point OF
view it would be better that we vote
ourselves.
The women OF the land could never
be induced to work for their own
emancipation merely. Even if they
had sought the ballot for this purpose
alone they would not have been self
seekers of worse character than were
their patriot fathers Of 1776; but now,
by very large majority, they are ask
ing the ballot for the sake of "God

Working by the Eye.
New York Ledger


The advance in the accuracy oil
workmanship in machinery is one ol
the remarkable features OF manufac'
lures. Formerly il a shaft could be
made right within one thirty-second
OF an inch all was we'll. Indeed
under old processes this was as fine q
degree of correctness as the eye could
perceive. But this was altogether toe
far from perfect to answer many pur.
poses, and mechanics set about devils.
ing some means to insure more abso.
lutte accuracy. One of the first sug.
gestions that the eye was less reliable
than the fingers came from the fitting
of certain cylinders with plugs. II
was found that number OF plugs
could be made all precisely alike so far
as the eye could judge, but the veriest
novice detected q difference in their
size the moment they we're applied to
the hole for which they were intended.
1t is said that now the difference OF
one five.thousandth of an inch can
readily be perceived by the most mex.
perienced person.

Playing Card Figures.
st. Louis Republic


There are but few persons, even
among the historians, antiquarians
and students in general who have the
lerst idea of the significance of the fig
ures on playing cards, In very early
times the four suits represented the
four principal trades followed by the
people and the figures on the cards
were supposed 10 be symbolic OF the
same. The heart was the symbol of
the choirmen or ecclesiastics, and in
all early packs, besides the figure Of
the heart, each card also bore a rude
picture of q monks cowl or of his
cloak and crooked staff.
Some of the authorities say that the
cut OF the early monkish cloak was in
the form of heart, and that the fig
ure used to-day is but a representation
of q picture OF that portion of the
old prelate's wearing apparel. The
"spade" is really pike or spearhesd
and was originally the trademark Of
the soldiery, typifying the nobility of
that very important branch of ancient
industry. The artisans in general are
represented by either mason's arch
or by diamond.shaped roofing tile.
The former, being somewhat unhandy
to properly figure, gradually gave
way to the title, which is still used and
called q " dimond" because of it's shape.
The farmers, or great class Of sgricul-
tural laborers, were given their symbol,
which was originally wheat head or
sheaf of wheat bound up with COM
mon straw band. As clover gradually
became the chief forage grass Of the
agriculturists they adopted a single
sheaf of that plant as their card
symbol. A figure Of this useful species
of trefoil is still used and is called q
"club." but why no one knows.
The four kings were originally
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charlie
magne, representing the four greatest
monarchies. Authorities differ as to
the queen, but the preponderance of
the evidence is in favor OF the opinion
that they are Argine, Judith, Esther
and Palles. The knsves are supposed
to be rude ciracatures of ancient Ms
sassins or general all-round williams,
whose names have been lost in the
many centuries that cards have been
used in games of chance or amuse-
ment,

100000 and gazed once more in awe at

OOO,OOU and gazed once more In awe at
the swelling total of Christmas cost.
| Christmas toys! To be sure they
must not be forgotten. Ten millions
at least of little ones figured in this.
The head of a mammoth toy house
pondered when he was asked what the
Christmas toy trade amounted to in
the whole.
"Well you might put 1t down at a
dollar family on the average. Some
spend $l00 and some ten cents, so it is
hard to estimate the amount of the
total expenditure"
did not put the figures at dollar
a family. 1 put it at fifty cents. 1t
looked more modest, and even at that
l got total OF some $l0,000,00O.
Next saw some big dealers in jew
elry and novelties. such as are in vogue
IS Christmas presents, and again the
figures we're astonishing. Putting the
various estimates, the smallest ones at
that, together and then adding them
I could not get the total below $l0,-
100000.
But large though the sums of money
that are spent, they are not too large.
The figures have quoted of the cost
OF Christmas in few directions, foot
ing as they do upward OF $50OO0,0O0,
are but part of the whole sum spent at
the Christmas times, and even il we
we be in no way sentimental about
Christmas we cannot deny that the
spending of so much money at such
time hurts no one and helps the COM
munity in general. The individual
will hardly feel the dollar or so that
he may spend, but when 20,OOO,00O or
100000 spend such a sum the
amount is worth considering. Itgives
work for months before Christmas to
vast army of workingmen and wo-
men in shops and factories where
Christmas goods are made. 1t gives
the farmer q chance to make up for
bad year with Christmas market sup
plies. Even the bare.legged country
lads may earn money for stout shoes
and warm jackets by gathering Christ
mas green's and berries. 1t stirs trade,
it stimulates human feeling, it sets the
blood running red in the veins OF men
and women of right mind. 1t is
time whom the poor are helped, the
miserable lifted up, and even the GRIM
inal is made to feel that he has not
ceased to be man; while thieves for
the time forget to think that the get
ting of money is the purpose for which
man was put forth on earth.
So what if the cost of Father Christ
mas does cost us a round hundred
million and good bit more. His visit
is worth the money and twice as much
more.
And the work OF Christmas! Why
it is all a pleasure. The hardest OF it
is as light as the touch of fairy's
wand!

Do NOT visit the sick when you are
fatigued or when in a state of perspir-
alton, or with the stomach empty
for in such conditions you are liable to
take the infection. When the disease
is very contagious, take the side of the
patient which is near to the window.
Do not enter the room the first thing

How 1T HAPPENED.-TheN New York
World notes the fact that in the six
States of New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Kentucky 100000 Democrats, CON-
pared with the last Presidential poll,
did not vote at the late elections.
The Republican pluralities Of these
States aggregate $4,000. So the
Democratic stay-at.homes exceeded
the Republican pluralities by 133, ,000.
