 Let the librarian be relieved of all the burden of copyright business. He should have supervision of the books which are in existence, not of the legal izing of nascent books. That business no more belongs to him than to the Patent Office or to the Treasury. The present librarian, Hon. A. R.

PITY TR Y POOR.

How to help the poor is a problem that is being tackled in earnest by many earnest people. One of the latest and most striking charitable notions comes from some ministers in Boston. This notion recognizes the great truth that the poor must have fun if they are to be happy. And it is also believed that the fun of the poor people must be some like the fun of the people who are not so poor that an. effort must be made to help them to have fun, There fore these Boston ministers are talking about healthy entertainments for the people, in other words theatre for the poor. There is," said one speaker at the conference. plenty of talent to be had. College students and the young men and women in society would prob- ably be ready to volunteer their ser vices In amateur theatricals. This is a practical way of weaning the masses from base and sordid influences
 If cats laugh, here is chance for them. A theatre for the poor devoted to amateur performances would be quite as holy a show as it's pious pro- motors would expect it to be. But 1t wouldn't help the poor It would drive them to drink and deeper discourage ment. And 1t would also raise Cain among the pious performers in it. Amateur theatricals are not usually good for those in front or on the stage. What the poor want is the real thing. If it is not thought best to give them at least regular continuous per formance" it is cruel and hopeless to try to cheer them with amateur theat- ricals. Pity the poor, and don't chuck amateur theatricals at them

NOT 4 BUCKE1-sHOP YICTORY.

The decision of Judge Horton of Chi cago in the case of Wiley against the Western Union Telegraph company has been generally accepted as a victory for the bucket shops, but it now appears that it was not intended to be so taken There was no evidence that the com or using the market reports illegally, but for aught that appeared on the rec ord he was a reputable business man, entitled to receive the markets over the wires, like any other citizen. The plain tiff was being supplied with the market reports in the usual way by the tele- graph company. The latter undertook to remove the instruments and detach the wires, and the plaintiff obtained an injunction restraining it from so doing At the hearing before Judge Horton on the motion of the defendant to dissolve the injunction all that was alleged as
 ground for the motion was that the Board of Trade refused to let the com pany furnish the quotations to this per son. Great care was taken by the com pany to conceal the fact that the plain tiff kept bucket shop and used the
 quotations illegally. If it had alleged and proved that fact the result of the case would have been very different. | All that was shown was that the Board of Trade claimed to have entire control
 own pleasure who should have the re- | ports and who should not It was this
 point, and this point alone, that Judge Horton passed upon. He admitted that | the Board of Trade was a private cor i poration and could make rules and reg ulations for the government of it's mem-
 bers, but that the public also had rights
 connected with the business transacted
 on the floor of the exchange. The mem | bers of the board not only buy and sell | their own produce, but they establish l
 l the price of the produce raised in all | the surrounding country. For years
 the board has disseminated these prices
 as fast as made throughout the coun-
 try, noting every change as it occurred
 during the hours of business, and the business of the country has adapted it.

 Having established such a custom the
 board has now no right to wholly de-
 prive the public of the use of such
 market news for all legitimate pur-
 poses.
 The question of furnishing the mar
 kets to the bucket-shops as such did
 not arise in the case, and, if it had Judge Horton very clearly intimates
 that the decision would have been the
 other way.

QUESTIONS FOR YOUNG MET


 If you treat your mother without much thought, do what she asks as you feel inclined, and not if you do not feel so inclined, she is naturally gfieved, and that may hurt you; but coming afterwards to think it over and realizing that she has. perhaps in the last fifteen years done a good deal for more for you than you have for her, there is a suggestion of disappoint- ment, to say the least, in yourself that you should so far forget yourself as to act so to one whom you not only have the greatest affection for but one whom you know should have the great est attention and regard you can be- stow
 If you scoff at some one's religious views, or make fun of the "old-fash- toned ideas of others, very likely you are in the right as to the idea in mind, but you cannot fail to realize after wards that perhaps 1t was a bad piece of business when you failed to give the other person credit for little sense, and the general result is a lack of pride in the incident.
 The feeling resulted from all these situations is much the same, and 1t goes by the name of loss of self-respect. It is lack of pride in what you have done and no one can be on the road to the formation of Q bad character who has not begun by falling to call himself to account for such matters; no one can really go further on this road so long as he maintains this self-respect When an occasion requires its use it should be ready at hand. When there is a chance to hit a man under the crowd, if this self-respect gets in it's work quickly enough, you are safe; but there needs to be constant training to put it into such good condition that it can be used on any emergency no mat ter how sudden that may be. And this self-respect Is just as easily trained as is your body for its coming trial in the hundred-yard race. Train it as you would anything else and it will invar- ably cary you over difficult places. But | it gets "out of condition" easily, and you will miss it at the most important | time. .--Harper's Round Table.

speot, Who Is the poorest man in the world to-day? The poorest man l know is the man who has nothing but money-nothlng else in the world but money-only money" Thus said Mil lionaire Rockefeller before the young mems Bible class in the parlors of the Fifth avenue Baptist church in New York, He also said: Live within your means" If l had my choice to- day, I'd be a man with little or nothing but 9 purpose in life" Know just what you receive and how you spend it." My opinion is that no man can trust himself to wait until he has ac- cumulated a great fortune before he is charitable. He must give away some money continually" MT. Rockefeller began with a small income, but gave penny every Sunday to the Sunday school For one year his clothes cost him just S9.09 That same year he gave away S5.5S.
 We do not suppose that MT. Roche- feller got rich by giving away more than half as much each year as his clothes cost him, and he isn't becoming poor now by giving away millions. But, all the same, he gave the young men some good advice, Most of them would be glad to be in position to talk so sensibly to struggling young once a young man with little or nothing but purpose in life, but he was so arranged that he couldn't stay so. He is now very rich and seems to be some what dissatisfied

life after they have been laid, On the completion of a pavement the common practice is resorted to of covering it with thin layer of very fine gravel in order to harden the surface and make it less slippery. In Rome, on the other hand, pavements of stone blocks cut in a truncated pyramidal form are in fa- vor, the tops of the stones being about five inches square and tapered down to S1a inches square, the depth being some seven inches: these blocks are very carefully dressed, and the pyramidal shape enables the blocks to be easily removed in case of repairs.
