NEW DEPARTURES FOR THE II
BRARY OF CONGRESS.

BRAR1 DF' CONGfke1ofo.
 The time has come for some new methods in the entire system of legisla- tion on the Congressional Library. What with the vast additional literary machinery made necessary by the new copyright law and the magnificent new building which has cost eight millions of dollars. 1t is now time to lift the whole library out of it's simple and pro- vincial environment into a truly na- tional treasury of universal knowledge,
 Tn 1900 the congress appropriated the modest little sum of five thousand dol lars flor the purchase of such books as may be necessary for the use of con gress at the said city of Washington" :" This was the humble beginning of our national collection of books. But the sailing has not been smooth. Two fires have done their deadly work. Howev- CT. there have been compensations. The library of Thomas Jefferson, who was a wise and tireless collector when rare books could be had in foreign cap itals with ease, was purchased in 1S15; in 1865 the Force Historical Library
 
 Library was absorbed and in 1882 the collection of Washingtoniana was pre- sented by it's illustrious founder, the late Dr. Toner of Washington Then the passage of the law, twenty-five years ago, requiring two copies of eve ry new copyright book and pamphlet to be deposited in the Congressional Li- brary, has added an immense number of volumes, As a result, we have to- day an aggregate of seven hundred and forty thousand in the entire collection. In the spring the removal of these many volumes to the new building will be begun. The space already awaiting books will accommodate eighteen hun dred thousand, and when all available space is made use of forty-five hundred thousand books can be placed easily and in excellent order.
 Few persons have any conception of the magnitude of the new building. The library and it's connecting rooms have one hundred and eleven thousand square feet, or about twenty thousand square feet more than the British Mu- scum. The total floor space, not inclu-

FASHION NOTES.
Tailor Rigs and Notifications.

Some of the most of the most fas- tidious tailor girls are very finnicky in their copying of mems attire, One of these notional women confides to the writer that the reason she goes in for figured and fancy waistcoats with eve ming dress is that otherwise there is no telling a gentleman from waiter at an affair. Of course that settles it, and tailor girls who would not run the frightful risk of being mistaken for a waiter will see to it that with their full dress they wear a white silk bed ford cord waistcoat cut double breast ed. White pique will do if she prefers. For dinner wear white cotton waist coat with shot effects in bright silk.

It appears that wooden pavements blocks are Sk by 3A inches, these be- ing laid on Portland concrete founda- ton; 8 space of two inches is left be- tween the curbstone and the side blocks, three rows of which nearest the curb are laid longitudinally with the curb. and this space is filled with sand until the blocks have ceased expanding
 The blocks are also grouted with Port land cement mortar; are also usually creosoted, though it is not assumed that this latter process really prolongs their

An attempt is to be made in a Massa- chusetts watch factory to replace high priced men in what has hitherto been an exclusive employment with low priced women The finishing work in a watch factory is said to be trade secret. and the possessors of the secret are forbidden by their trade-union rules to teach the process to women. Not withstanding this, some one has been teaching women secretly at the fac tory. For several weeks 8, number of girls have been employed in what has been known as the emergency room, '' which has been shut off from all ob- servation. A number of finishers were taken from the main room and put to work there in order that the girls might observe just how the work was done. There is only one woman finisher in the country, and she learned the secret from her father in Switzerland. The first step has been taken by the com pany in laying off, the men finishers until such time as their services are needed

Business in the Japanese parliament does not seem to be more serious than business in some other parliaments. A whole recent sitting was devoted to considering whether a member had not violated Parliamentary etiquette by at tending the opening in a frock coat, instead of the regulation dress-suit. Finally the offending member was sol- emnly warned of his "indiscretion, :" narrowly escaping being handed over to the Disciplinary Committee for pun Nshment.

Professor Koch, who has been making a study of leprosy in East Prussia, has published his conclusions. He finds that the cases he saw there were not connected. like those in Norway Swe- den, Finland, etc, with the leprosy of the Middle Ages, but had probably been introduced since 1870, through the close intercourse between East Prussia and the Russian Baltic provinces. The Introduction and propagation of leprosy took place mainly between 1922 and 1890, and among the cases examined the death rate was about seventy per cent. Dr. Koch believes that infection is caused mostly by low living, or over crowding in small houses, and to some extent also by the wearing of infected clothes. He found no evidence of he- reditary transmission The duration of the disease is generally from five to ten years.

She had not been to church for two years, but finally at tended an early communion service, where she carelessly deposited the piece of money in the contribution box. The judge, however, decided in favor of the church.
