LIBRARY AT MANILA.
One for Use of American Soldiers
 and Sailors Opened.
Contains About 4,OOO Volumes, Which Arc Greatly Enjoyed by the Men Need of Funds to Keep
 Library Going.

Mrs. Greenleaf, wife of Col. c. k. Greenleaf, nited States army, has suc- ceeded in opening an American library in Manila, for the use of American soldiers, sailors and citizens in Ma nila.
 There are about 4,0OO volumes in this library, many of them worn and soiled, but greatly enjoyed by both officers and men. About ten papers are sent regularly from the United States, which are read at the library and then sent to the troops in the field. It is the earnest request of Mrs. Greenleaf that copies of papers from every part of the United States be sent to this library.
 While contributions of books and magazines are most acceptable, the financial question is the serious prob- lem which confronts the library.
 The salary of the librarian and the rent of the building as we'll as other expenses have to be met each month, and letter from Mrs. Greenleaf, dated March 29, states that they have only enough money to keep the li- brary open three months longer, at the most. Unless aid comes from the United States they will be compelled to close the library, which has been source of pleasure to the men who are enduring the hardships of war in foreign country.
 The Woman'S Army and Navy league, an organization composed mainly of the wives and daughters of officers of the United States army and navy, have been appealed to by Mrs. Greenleaf, and they will act as her representatives in this country.
 Contributions will be received by Mrs. Marshall Ludington, vice pres ident of the Woman's Army and Navy league, care Gen. M. I. Ludington, quartermaster general, war depart ment, Washington.

APPEAL TO HELEN COULD.
Hundreds of Persons Look to Her for Assistanee-Variety in the
 Requests.

It is surprising the number of per sons who look to Miss Helen Gould to assist them in one way or another. The fact that she is extremely charitable and has millions at her disposal { o give her charity substantial backing serves to attract a great variety of requests.
 These include petitions for wedding dresses, pleas for some trinkets for baby named after Miss Gould, dona- tions for hospitals and ships and town subdivisions bearingher honored name. Some idea of the vast number of these petitions may be gained from the fact that in recent week she received 1903 letters containing requests involving more than sl,54S,5O2. Everything i'm aginable was wanted, from u farm and three cows. a peddling horse and cart, to &,O00.O0 with which to found col ony in Cuba.

AGED SINISTER wEDS YOUTH.
Old, Marries Man of 2S Years.

Miss Louisa Pierce, the aged and wealthy spinster, who owns property in the heart of the aristocratic suburb of Newton, Mass, and Dr. w. H. Barnes, her 2S-year-old lover, have at last suc- ceeded in getting married.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. K. Fuller, of Newburgh, N. Y., at the home of pr. Barnes parents in that city. Dr. Barnes father and mother were witnesses and made no objection to the marriage.
 In a statement Dr. Fuller said that he noticed the disparity in the ages of the couple, and questioned them care fully. Both answered his questions frankly and openly and gave no in dication of trying to conceal anything. Miss Pierce gave her age as 73 and said she had never been married. The doc tor gave his age as 2s.
 Miss Pierces friends in this vicinity are greatly shocked over the final re- suit, as they had hoped to be able to prevent the wedding. Their success in this move in Boston and the publici- tY that had been given the case led them to believe no minister could be found who would perform the cere- mony.

SNAKE STARTLES A SCHOOL.
High-SchOOl Teachers Efforts to Get the Reptile Out Adds to the
 Disorder.

Feminine 'shrieks startled the pupils of the Walnut High school, Cincin- nati, the other afternoon. Some boys had brought snake to school in a box as a geological specimen. They amused themselves during school hours by showing it to the girls in Miss Rice's room, who were according. ly affected.
 Miss Rice heard the commotion, and, finding the box was creating disorder, she conhscated it and tried to throw it out of the window. Her aim was bad, and the box lid flew off. Horror stricken when she saw the snake wriggling along the floor, Miss Rice gathered rp her skirts and fled, while the air wcs filled with cries of terror from the girls as they wildly scram- bled to places of safety.
 When the :oys caught the snake order was restored. sGs9

PRICES SOAR AT PRETORIA.
Economy Being Observed from High OmciaIs DOwn-Busy Time at
 American Consulate.

Late reports to the state department from Pretoria show that prices are soaring in that capital. Cab hire ranges from $2.5O per hour upward. and can scarcely be had at any fgure. Econ omy is universally observed from the highest officials down. The foreign rep resentatiyes at the capital find tha, their salaries are totally insufficient, to pay the ordinary expenses of living. The United States consulate is over taxed. Seven thousand letters were received in one week to be forwarded. Mail packages weighing in the aggre. gate GR tons flowed into the consulate in the same time. Many small sums of money had to be disburSed amoag the British prisoners of war, and, al- together, the United States consul with

An illustration Of the new lights
which science throws upon old ques-
tions is the modern explanation of an
experiment made nearly three cen
turtles ago by the Flemish physician,
Van Helmont. In a pot of earth
weighing 200 pounds he planted a will.
low branch weighing five pounds. He
kept the plant well watered and in
five years the willow had gained 1874
pounds In weight, while the earth in
the pot had lost only two ounces. Van
Heimont inferred that the plants
gain was due only to the water which
had been supplied. Modern botanical
science proves that the gain was in a
great measure due to the carbon alb
sorbed from the air.-Little Chronicle.
