 MT. Stewards earnestness is shown in a later work on the subject, which haa not yet appeared. "A don't worry cir cle," he says, may be large or small. Any family may agree to resolve itself into a don't worry circle, and many are doing so. On the other hand, mem bers need not even live in the same place. There is one circle of three members, two of whom live in New York and the third in Michigan. They study the scientific principles of the subject and help each other by corre- spondence Usually members live in the same town and have regular meet ings."
 It has been suggested that school teachers form circles and that the prin- ciple be applied to their work in the schoolroom.

BIG PRICES PAID FOR BOOKS.

justifies the enormous price Quaritch sets upon 1t. It was among the earliest products of Gutenberg, who is one of the persons credited with the invention of the art of printing from movable types. This is a vexed question, but the Bible itself is undoubtedly authentic, 1t having obtained it's name through the accidental discovery of a copy by De Beere in Cardinal Mazarfh's library at Paris. Probably this is the Syston Park copy which Quaritch purchased some years ago. At the famous Brayton Ives sale, held in New York in 1884, immense excitement was created by the purchase of another specimen of this rare work for S14,S00. A contemporaneous ac- count of the sale says: ''The circum- stances under which this copy was pur- chased, it's acknowledged rarity, the various surmises concerning it's value and the report that it was about to re- turn to England, gave special import ance to the sale. Although it has six teen leaves in fac-simile, its condition, height, purity of vellum, it's illuminated letters, have given it worldwide repu- tation. The story of 1t is brief Mir Brind1y bought it in Europe. At his sale in 1884 the late MT. Hamilton Cole pur- chased it for $S000, Mir Ives at that time being the next highest bidder. When the Syston Park copy, badly cropped, was purchased by MT. Quar- itch for ST ,5OO and offered to MT. Ives at a small advance he immediately decided to purchase Mir. Coles copy"
 Whether even this enormous sum was the highest ever paid for a book is ques tionable, for a French authority claims that $50 900 was given by the German Government for a missal presented by Pope Leo x to King Henry VIII of Eng land, along with a parchment confer ring on that sovereign the right of as- suming the title of Defender of the Faith, ever since borne by British sov- areipuS

2 The question as to the highest price ever paid for a single book is one which hasIong interested bibliomaniacs-people who are not in any way to be con- founded with bibliophiles. The biblio- maniac is merely a collector-somew would call him a crank-who looks upon a book as. he would upon a piece of blue china, a thing to be valued only for its rarity and not for it's contents. The bibliophile, on the other hand. is a reader, a man who looks between the covers, but is not, as a rule, rich, and therefore the records of phenomenal prices have little to say of him. In the world or biblio- maniacs the prince is Bernard Quarftch of Piccadilly. the famous London book seller, who for years has bought and sold the highest priced editions. Time was when Quaritch, starting as re- tail bookseller on his own account. was willing to sell a volume for the humble sum of cents, but to-day, nous avons change tout cela. Quaritch's catalogue, just issued, is in itself an expensive af- fair ranging in price from S1 9 to 8, according to the style of printing and get-up A glance at the volume shows that Quaritch nowadays does not deal in cheap editions. The lowest priced book on his list is folio copy of Cicero, printed in Venice, for which he asks OILY Stos T ACAil lAAio oNAAA N'AS RiASCS AehA5O up to $26, ,250 for copy of the Psalter- fum Latinum, on vellum This is said to be the second book ever printed with a date. The year is that of 1459, and the magnificent typography of the work, combined with it's age, gives it this all most fictitious value. But Quaritch, ac- clstomed to handling big figures, does not think the sum at all excessive. Next on his list, at price of S25 0G0, comes a still older Bible, the famous Bfblia Lat ina, or Mazarin Bible, dated 1454-56, the first book ever produced by typog- raphy.

QUEER FREAKS OF WIND STORMS.

The wind in a frolic sometimes pro- duces very curious and unexpected results, even in Britain. where storms have not the violence of those experi- enced in tropical countries.
 Some time ago a landowner in Lan- arkshire possessed a very fine forest of venerable and sturdy trees, of which he was inordinately proud. Time after time an enterprising wood merchant made him tempting offers for the timber, and as often his offers were repulsed with scorn. But pride goeth before fall, and one stormy night mighty wind swept over the district. and when morning came, in stead of the stately forest. the aston ished landlord beheld only a tangled mass of trunks, branches, and roots mixed up in inextricable confusion.
 This was bad, but there was worse to come. Thinking to make the best of matters, the owner resorted to the wood-merchant and offered him the timber on his own terms. Picture his astonishment and chagrin to find that the merchant now refused to accept it even as a gift, as the cost of clear ing the ground from the effects of the storm would far exceed the value of the wood.
 The same storm produced a still more surprising effect on neighbor- ing estate, where path, about twen- ty or thirty yards wide, was entirely cleared of trees, while those on each side stood unharmed.
 But the queerest pranks of wind are played in towns. Recently a severe wind swept over one of our large cities, and did considerable damage to many of the buildings. In one in- stance, a stack of chimneys crashed through the roof of a house, and, fall- ing immediately in front of a bed, walled in the inmates so securely that,
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-16

though unhurt, they had to remain prisoners till dug out by their aston ished neighbors.
 4 somewhat similar accident once led to very peculiar effects in the As size Court at Worcester A stack of chimneys fell through the roof of the Nisi Prius Court and put an effectual stop to the business for the time be- ing. The Judge (Mr. Justice Wilmot) was unhurt, but four out of the five barristers present were injured, though not fatally
 One of them, a MT Aston, with great presence of mind, slipped under the ta ble and escaped unharmed, while another, MT Moreton, was damned in by the rubbish and had to be dug out Less fortunate than the legal lumin- aries, the crier of the court and five others were killed, while many people were injured in the mad rush to get out of the falling building.
 The most interesting result, how ever, that ever followed a great storm is that which still stands and defies the force of the elements at Plymouth. The great breakwater was originally planned with the seaward face laid out at slope of one in three When the work was well advanced a storm displaced a large portion of the work. and altered the slope to one in five. The engineers, not profiting by the lesson, again altered it to it's former slope, and again some years later Nature, in the form of furious storm, reduced it to one in five. This time the lesson was not without it's due effect, and to this day the great breakwater remains a lasting testi- mony to the engineering skill of the forces of Nature.

 So now all you have to do is to buy a copy of MT.

THERE is more newspaper talk in
foreign countries about Germany in
terfering in the Philippines, for the
purpose Of saving them to Spain.
This is rot. Germany will not be
likely to interfere, and if she does,
she will wish she hadn I. Her naval
history is no better than that of
Spain, and she will do wisely in let
ting the United States alone. If
Germany were in the place OF this
country today she would permit no
Interference, and none would be
thought of by this country. Hence
the United States will not be
swerved from her purpose by any
vague threats on the part of the
kaiser. Neither will the newspaper
talk in France or Germany cause
any timidity over here. Conscious
of the integrity Of its motives and
of its position, this great republic
fears no foreign foe 1t would be a
sorry day for Germany if she should
interfere between Spain and the
United States. But there is no
danger of interference. German
subjects in the Orient may irritate
our people, but they will not be
carried beyond the danger line and
the fate Of the Philippines will be
decided by Uncle Sam without any
interference from without. - Sagi-

THE London Times, commenting
on the fall of Santiago, says: The
Santiago negotiations are honorable
to both combatants and their sue
cess will probably be due to the
statesmanlke concession of Wash
ington to send the Spanish garrison
home. The prospects of rcganing
their native land is naturally CRATE
full to wearied troops, and this stroke
Of policy will probably have a great
effect on the garrison at Havana.
There is not the slightest doubt that
troops possessed of such great fight
ing capacity as the Americans have
shown could at any time stormed
Santiago. Happily, a useless sacri-
flee of life has been averted. The
direct gain to the United States
from the capitulation is small, but
the indirect results are important in
the growth of mutual respect be-
tween the two nations and the lesson
to the Madrid government that it
may now abandon hopeless atti-
tude without loss OF military honors.
The whole Santiago campaign con-
firms strictly TO the experience OF
the past. The American navy has
displayed conspicuous ability. Tor
pedoes have played a less important
part than was anticipated, and it
may be hoped that over-water dis
charges on board cruisers will now
be abandoned, II indeed these craft
may not be exempted from the in.
cubus OF the torpedo. Judging
from the American experiment at
Santiago the prospect OF lombard
ment from invisible naval stations
over cliffs will not be very alarming
