In some districts, the new set of library
books contains duplicates of those al
ready held This is vexatious to say the
least, but it is not easy to say who Is to
blame. Supt. Christensen says he will
call for complete lists of books in the
libraries next year and this will reduce
the possibility of having duplicates.
Considerable difficulty is experienced
here in procuring good butter. Strange
to say few farmers make their own but
ter. 1t is not easy to do SO, when there
is not a proper place to place the milk,
so that most farmers prefer buying but
ter and selling the milk. The few who
have butter for sale are overwhelmed
with orders. This scarcity is not par
ticulary noticeable at banquets on fes-
tive occasions, however

From the Youths Companion.
Every act Of an army officer with refer
ence to other army officers or to soldiers
is regulated by inhexible military law
or by equally innexible custom. and many
OF the young men who have recently en-
tered the army from the militia or from
civil life have found this out to their
humiliation. A story published by an
exchange tells how a young first lIeuten-
ant Of volunteers was introduced by an
army officer to a certain major. The
lieutenant happened to be in citizens
dress, which all officers habltaaliy wear
when they are not on duty. The intro
duction was In this wise:
Major Blank allow me to introduce
Mr.. smith. Mr.. Smith Mr.. Blank"
The conversation ran on for a little
while about various matters. and the
major went away without suspecting that
the young man who had been introduced
to him was in the military service.
Well" said Mr.. Smith to his friend, Il

other "In the army every man Is mist-

ant, beginning with the sergeant major

ant as Lieutenant Smith," and when an
officer speaks to an enlisted man Of him
he must also say Lieutenant Smith" If
the colonel or any other officer Of the regi-
mental staff has a message for a lieuten-
ant he calls an orderly and says to him:

RELIEF WORK IN PORTO RICO.
Cash and Food Given Out by the
Government Up to Nov. 30.

cash and Food Given Out by the
Government Up to Nov. 30.
Washington, Dec. 25.-The war depart
ment made public to-day a statement
showing the progress made in relief work
in the Island of Porto Rico between
Sept. % and Nov. 80, 1899
The population of the island is estimated
at 9lS,96. The average daily INDECENT was
&l,OS7 persons, averages weekly sick 1882.
and the average weekly deaths 6s2 .er-
sons The annual death rate was So per
1000 inhabitants, while the normal rate of
deaths was % per 600 inhabitants. The
increased mortality was confined to the
mountain districts, where i'm some local
tiles the death rate increased 300 per cent.
The amount OF cash received for the re-
let OF the suffering people of the island
up 10 Nov. 80. was $18,24. The
amount of money disbursed up TO the date
mentioned was SAT-. Up to Nov. 80 the
total amount of food received TO relieve
the sufferers was II, 162, 7Ss pounds; of this
amount 16,34S5l0 pounds had been issued
up to Nov 30. The amount of unissued
food on hand at San Juan Nov 30 was
6l4212 pounds. 1t is believed that until
February next the demand for assistance
is likely to increase in the mountain dis
trlctS, as the plantains and bananas will
not be ripe for two months to come. The
greatest distress prevails in a locality
where the greatest difficulty is found in
getting to the starving
1t is estimated that not less than 1000
additional tons of food will be required
Four-sevenths of this amount should be
of rice, two-sevenths should be of beans
and the remainder of the amount required
should be either Goldfish or bacon. With
the food already issued and now on hand
and with the 1900 tons required in addi-
ton to that already issued, the total issue
will be %, 162,7SS pounds.
