whist was adjourned indefinitely.

The United States government is an
extravagant book publisher. About
eighteen years ago it began the com-
pilation of the records of the Union
and Confederate armies, oficially
known as the Rebellion Records. More
than one hundred and twenty volumes
have already been printed. as a cost
Of nearly three million dollars, and the
series is not yet complete. Few per-
sons would question the historical
value of this great work. but many
might doubt the wisdom of so free q
distribution of the volumes at public
expense. In country public libraries
the books are rarely used enough to
pay for the space they fill. In Lisbon,
N. H., for example, the librarian re-
lates this incident: A small boy stood
before the hundred massive volumes
and said, my! wouldn't like to read
themw The permission was speedily
granted. The boy took one Of the
books from the shelf, but for some rea-
son did not carry 1t away. That"
