A new and a widening feature in
library work has been introduced in
the public library of Cleveland and in
the Cambridge Mass public library.
It is that of looking up references
needed by members of various literary
societies or clubs, and systeAatizing
the same by cards. In Cleveland
clubs deposit their programs for the
years work with the woman in charge
of this departments whose assistants
look up the subject-matter in advance,
thus greatly facilitating the prepara-
ton of club papers. The board has
also set apart an alcove to be known
as Club Corner for the special conven-
ience of club members, men and wom-
en-. It is filed with cases of books
most called for by clubs-histories,
travels, etc. The same line of work
has been carried on in Cambridge in
connection with the Economy club, a
society of about seventy-fve young
men, who meet once a fortnight to
discuss economic and political ques-
tions. The club issues a prospectus
at the beginning of each of its two
terms, giving the subject to be con-
sidered at each meeting, the subjects
of one OF more essays, and the res
olutions upon which there will be a
debate. The librarian and his assist
ants follow this list, and for the two
weeks preceding each meeting keep
a selected list of books and hack mum
bers of periodicals designed to fur
nish the information needed on the
subject specially reserved for til
members of the club.

of courages good habits and brains
looks at himself in glass
and wonders if he possesses any
of the attributes of embryonic great

sink Merrimac, if he will be the
idol of all the people. Without such
ideals as Hobson to look up to our

The Berlin Germany Reichsanzei-
ger.has published an official statement
of the finances of the kingdom of
Prussia which is of great interest in
many ways. 1t shows Prussia to be the
most prosperous Industrial state in
the world, and explains how it is able
to meet the heavy charges imposed
by the political and military situation
of Germany. With population of
about 80, 900, 900, the public debt of
Prussia is rather more than $50 per
capita, or about S1,625, 100000. 1t
has been increased by $3.50, 900, 900 in
the last six years, but of this amount
only about $25, 900, 900 was expended
on unproductive work. The cost to
the state of the whole debt is only
$50, 900, 900 year, while the net rev.
enue received from the public works
and state properties is over $l35, 600, :
600. The net revenue of the railways
belonging to the state, which in 1880
81 was only S23, 900, 900 during past
years has averaged close on S75, 1000, :
600, and for 1S9S-99 is estimated at
$109, 500, 900. The state domains and
forests yield an average of S12, 500, 900.

The theme Of all his speeches has been
a reunited country. He has lived to see
the South land as passionately devoted
to the stars and stripes as ii was to the

been paean Of grateful thanksgiving at
the consumation
"Reunited-one country again and one
country forever; proclaim it from the
press and pulpit teach it in the schools ;

and feels it it cheers every heart, North

every American home; let nothing ever
stain it again; at peace with all the
world and with each other, what can
stand in the pathway of our progress
and prosperity? '

beliefs, let us be thankful that we have

American, whose heart beats in svmpa-

there Is something good in store Tor US
things have at last changed. There ii
