paradoxical.

Free Travelling Libraries.

For many years Mslvil Dewey. d.
rector Of the New York State Library,
has advocated q scheme Of State distri-
button Of books by the way Of loan to
Institutions and to groups Of taxpayers
on payment Of nominal fee. His plan
includes a system Of central control
and supervision under which small col
lections of popular books are to be sent
from point to point, kept in charge of
responsible persons, and circula ted
freely among the residents Of each To-
cality. The State Of New York made
an appropriation for such 4 system of
library loaning in 1892. and has sp
propr1ated annually since. In the first
46 libraries were sent out; n the Sec
ond, 139; in the third, 212; In the fourth,
81; and in the fifth year, AT. Books
have been purchased to supply the con-
stantly increasing demand, until now
there are nearly $4,000 volumes owned
by the State and available for this pur-
pose.
These libraries are carefully chosen,
BY expect Librarians. and are made up
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1898-04-20

of the choicest and freshest publica-
tlons. A large proportion Of the books
must necessarily be works Of fiction If
the interest Of the average borrower Is
to be- sustained. Care Is taken to pro-
vide only the very best and most
wholesome stories, and to adapt them
to the age and requirements Of those to
whom they are sent. In this respect
the influence Of the travelling libraries,
II not distinctly educational. is at least
uplifting and invigoratlng. A growing
interest in biography. history. eco
nomics, science, anG art has been noted
and fostered by the management. and
many books IN these departments are
continually being purchased and sent
out. Some entire libraries are made ND
Of these subjects, to the exclusion Of
fiction altogether. and the special col
lections sent to study clubs through
out the State are doing a real educa-
tional work.-American Monthly Re-
view Of Reviews.

How 70 Rule q Man.

'You can never tell In advance what
men are going to do" says Aunt Phi
lenda Broadbend in Puck. There Is
a proverb which says that the way to
a mans heart Is through his stomach;
but some men are dyspeptic, and their
inner nature cannot be reached by that
road. You can win one mans everlast-
ing subservience by the successful ap-
plication Of a mustard plaster. should
he require one, and the same action
will make tyrant or a misanthrope, or
both, of the next man. One man can
be subjugated by making him afraid OF
you, and another by making him think
you are afraid of him. You must talk
to one man and listen to another. All
In all, about the only infallible rule re-
garding men folk that l have gathered
from my experience with them is that
the man who before marriage loves
woman the most extravagantly, after
marriage loves her the most econOmi-
cally. The average mans ideal of
wife Is one who knows how to dress on
nothing a year and always looks WELL"

Everybody knows that thirteen
called bakers Dozen" but how cam
the phrase into existence? Well, !
seems that once upon a time the baker
used to give for nothing to the retail
dealer who sold the bread a thirteenth
loaf with every twelve loaves that
were ordered. How this custom grew
up 1t Is hard to tell, except It was to
help the shopkeeper to earn his living a
trifle easier and to encourage him to
take more bread. One explanation has
Il that the custom dates from the time
when heavy penalties were inflicted
for short weight, and that the thir,
teenth loaf was thrown in to mako
sure the weight was right: but this Id
perhaps doubtful, for there is like
custom in the publishing trade, In
which the bookseller usually gets an
extra copy without charge for every
twelve books he buys from the publish
er. In short, we might just as well
talk of thirteen being a 'publisher's
dozen" as bakers.

How to Be Great

We are all born but once. Most Of US
marry but once. We certainly can die
but o7cs. And If we look at life "as a
small bundle Of great things" we shall
certainly not think 1t worth while 10
practice small courtesies. Bot II We
regard 1t, far more truly, as "a big
bundle of small things" we shall as
certainly feel that few things in life
are better worth doing. 1t may never
be in our power to save anybody's life,
make for anybody a fortune, shed lus-
ter upon the family name, die for our
country, or set the smallest river on fire
In any way whatever. But If we con-
scientiously and sweetly give our
selves to the practicing Of small courte-
sies, only the recording angel can ever
set down the good we shall do In our
day and generation to hundreds and
thousands of our fellow creatures In
the course of a lifetime.
Most people despise them as no,
worth doing. Few people perform them
with any degree of consistency or low
Ing kindness. Fewer still are content
70 do them in the best way, unnoticed,
aforementioned, really feeling 1t to be
emphntically a virtue that is its own
reward Yet 1t is a wonder that preach
ers do not urge 1t upon their congrega-
tons from a thousand pulpits.

One OF the Kaiser's Jokes.

There-are many good anecdotes about
he German emperor, and 1t must
owned that they all prove the kaiser
o have no small amount Of humor.
The following, which comes from Mr..
Ehlers, the traveller, Is smarter than
most. The emperor and Ehlers were
college chums from Bonn, and the en-
peror never forgot his old college stu
dent. At Bonn on special occasions
the different corps used to drink to one
another, and the following set form
was always used: The president of
the Palatio corps raises his glass, say
ing: II have the great honor and
pleasure to empty my glass in drinking
to the corps Of Borussia." The presi-
hent Of the latter corps then replies.
"The corps thanks and drinks"
On the birth Of one Of the sons Of the
emperor Bhlers telegraphed him: IL
have the great honor and pleasure to
empty my glass in drinking to the
youngest HOhenzollern." The emperor
promptly wired back: 1.-The youngest
Hohenzollern thanks and drinks."-To-
ronto Chronicle.
