STATE HOUSE.
Demand Now On for the Winter Read
ing Matter.
Undertakers Want Registration Law Simila,
to That Required by Pharmacists.

The demand on the State library for
winter reading has already commenced in
good earnest. During the summer there
was almost no demand. Now the can is
on in good shape.
As usual the opening of the schools
caused call for reference books. The
teachers began to look up topics for their
work and then in turn assigned subjects
for their pupils to investigate. On ac-
count Of this one section of the library is
kept busy.
Just at the present time one call is for
books relating to Halloween and if the
calls made are any indication. the city
will have The most general observance of
Halloween that it has ever seen. One
thing sought by people looking up this
subject is old customs and games for the
festival. Unfortunately the library is not
well stocked for an exhaustive study of
that kind but good ideas are being
gained.
But strange as il may seem the great
est demand is for books of fiction. Just
why this is 50 ii would be hard to say I'M
less it is due to the fact that great
many historical novels are being pub
lished, and perhaps people think that by
reading books OF that kind they may get
the same ideas in general way that
they might get through a more exhaus-
tive and possibly less interesting research.
The reading clubs have begun their
winters work and the members of these
clubs are hard at work devoting their
spare time to studying on the topics as
signed
In fiction the present call is for The

in The Christian" this is due TO the pres
cutation of the play at the opera house
a short time ago, and is to refresh the
ticipation OF "Quo Nadis'' which is To be
presented in short time has caused
demand for that book. This of course.
like the demand for The Christian" is
purely local.
Another demand that may be accounted
devote this season TO the Pine Tree STATE,
is that for Maine history. OF late there
has been a great call for books that relate
to the early settlements of different sec
lions. The study of genealogy is giving
more work for the librarians. This de-
mand is probably caused by the desire on
the part of many to join the Daughters
Of the American Revolution and the Sons
Of the American Revolution.

The claims for bOunties on bob cats
that have been killed are already begin
ming to come into the office of the State
treasurer. How the amounts of the claim
will compare with that of last year can
not be said yet but il looks as though the
number would equal that of previous
years.
II is said that there is a possibility that
some effort will be made at the next SeS-
sion of the Legislature to repeal the
bounty. The amount paid as bounty is
81 for each cat. Last year the amount
paid was $1,000 in round numbers. There
is lurking suspicion in the minds of some
of the authorities that some persons are
making q business Of raising the cats
simply for the purpose of obtaining the
bounty as il is considered decidedly i'm e
probab Bile tnat the wild cats can long con-
tinue to be killed off at the rate OF 2oOo
Il wear There is a specimen of the cat
in the fish and game department, but 1t
is said that some of the cats on which
the bountieS are paid are radically differ
ent in appearance from that at the State
House. Since the law does not make the
fine distinction, there is no other way 10
be done than to pay the bounty.

The uudertakers OF Maine are ~oins TO
make a dead sri-that is no slang, if you
please-for some legislation Of their own
this winter ana if their bill isn't buried
in the Legislature they hope that il will
result in great practical good to the pro-
liar to the statues in force in other states.
This registry law will compel all under
takers who wish to hang out their shingle
as embalmers to furnish a diploma from
a satisfactory examination before a board
Of duly accredited Maine embalmers.
They say that at the present time there
are too many men who are palming them
right to the title. With a registry law in
force such as New Hampshire has there
would be no difficulty in sending a body
from one State TO another. and the en-
balmer's certificate would be sufficient
proof that the work was properly done.
To affect an organization 70 work for
this end meeting has been called to
meet at the judiciary committee room at
the State House, oct. "a at 10 A. NJ The
call has been sent to undertakers in al

For years past the department of ed
ucation and the various county exam
liners have been greatly annoyed and
much hampered in their efforts to Sc
cure competent teachers by the exam
ination questions used in public exami-
nations of teachers being obtained in
advance by applicants. This has been
especially common among negro teach
ers. All efforts to find the parties
guilty of purloining the list of ques-
tions have proved futile until recently,
when conclusive evidence was obtained
that there is seemingly Well organ
lied clique in Little Rock furnishing
lists few days in advance to teachers
ia other counties. The parties impli-
Gated are prominent negroes of the
city, some of whom are teachers in the
