The name of the big library that was
originally organized for the use of Con-
gress. and is now housed in the finest
building ever constructed purely for library
purposes. every now and then becomes a
subject for dispute. The library growing
up as a reference library for members of
Congress naturally took the name Library
of Congress- but there are many reasons
for believing that statesmen early in the
lection of books as a national library and
favored broader name than the one now
given it. When Jefferson sent his library
of 1000 books to Washington after they
had been purchased by the government for
S239D0 he forwarded a catalogue of these

Waddesdon Manor at which the Prince of
Wales met with his unfortunate accident,
is one of the three country seats in Buck
inghamshire owned by the Baron Ferd1-
nand de Rothschild. There are in Hert-
fordshire, Tring Park, belonging to Lord
Rothschild, and Halton. belonging to Mr..
Alfred; but Baron Ferdinand owns, besides
Waddesdon, the Manor House at Win
chenden, and Leighton House, Leighton

don is in all respects a model village, and,
if the jewellers there are not happy and
well-off it is not the fault of Baron Ferdi-
nand VIII, is the kindest and most popular
of landlords He may often be seen in the
village. and at busy times, when any
affair of local interest takes place, he is
always in evidence. Sometimes, with few
friends from the Manor he visits the shops
and makes small purchases; but the game
is a very expensive one, for the villagers
invariably refuse to gi"e him any change.
When a man offers a sovereign, or even
half-a-sovereign, for one pennyworth of
nuts intended for Immediate consumption,
he may well be surprised 10 find his claims
for change ignored. The traveller who
passes through Naddesdon is surprised at
the outward and visible signs of prosperity,

A Very Big Boy.

had occasion to send to town for a suit OF
boys clothes, took the measurements her.
self. She received the following reply:
Dear Madam: Your favor received, but
we regret to say that we have no clothes
such as you want, and we doubt il they
can be found outside a museum with fat
boy. Fifty-four inches round the chest,
twenty-four round the neck, and sixty
round the waist is a little out of our line.
Possibly you might squeeze the boy down
a little, but this would hardly be advisable
for, as you say, he is only twelve. and the
chances are that he would grow with all
you might do. We should advise you to
take the youth to some wholesale tailoring
establishment. A boy with arms sixty
three inches long and legs just six feet to
an inch is a little beyond the capabilities
of this establishment, though we study to
please"

Pets of n Learned Man.

From Youths Companion.
Sir Henry Rawiinson, the great authority
on Persian Inscriptions, wrote his Me
moir' in a summer house overhanging the
Tigris, where the outside heat of 12U de-
grees was reduced to 80 degrees by the ac-
ton of water wheel, which poured con-
tinuous stream of water over the roof.
u For recreation while writing his book,
Rawlinson indulged in petting wild ami
mails. He had tame leopard named Fa-
had, which he brought to England and
presented to the Geological gardens at Cliff
was in England he would visit Fahad. As
soon as the beast heard his cry, 'Fahad!
F'ahad!'' it would rise from the floor of its
cage, approach the bars, and then, rolling
on the floor, extend its head to be scratch
ed.
Once the keeper. who did not know Sir
Henry, on seeing him patting the leopard,
exclaimed
Take your hand out of the cage The
animals very savage and will bite your
do you think so?" said Sir Henry 81
don't think he'll bite me. VIII you, Fa-
had?' and the beast answered by a purr
and would hardly let the hand be with
drawn.
He also had at Bagdad pet lion, which
had been found when a kitten on the bank
of the Tigris-its mother having been shot
and brought 10 Sir Henry. He alone fed
it, and the lion when grown would follow
him about like a dog. One hot day the lion
moped and rejected its food 1t paced the
masters room and he, being very busy
called two servants to take the lion away.
a Inc lion would not go with them, but
drew nearer its master. and at last sat
down under his chair with its head be-
tween his knees.
oh" said he, eff he won't go let him
bide."
The servants went out. and Sir Henry
wrote on. The lion sank from a sitting po-
sition into that of a Lion couchant." All
was quiet for several hours save the
scratching of a pen. When his work was
over the master put down his hand to pat
the pet. The lion was dead.
