Festival Cities.

Birmingham is not much of gala city, judging from the absence of de- corations on occasions that would seem to call for a display of flags and bunt- ing" said a new conner who had lived in Louisville the greater part of his life.
 Tn Cincinnati, Louisville and other cities in that section business houses and residences are profusely decorated for music festivals. It is a beautiful custom and makes a good impression on strang- CTS. Ten or fifteen years ago l was in the little city of Petersburg, Va. during festival week and all the streets were gay with streamers and notices of well come. 1 was told that the business men never thought of allowing the festival time to come without getting out the red, white and blue. l have never been in New England but I am sure Worcester always decorates for its music festival. It is too late for Birmingham to do any thing now in the way of putting on gala dress, but in the future it might be well for the citizens to take up this question. It would be worth while.'

he is dumping lot of stuff that sells well but has no other quality that comments it, What to do under such circumstances Is perplexing the best librarians and students of social uues. tions. When writers are trying to make books that have the selling quality alone, and when literary clubs and young people generally are striv. ing to see who can read the most of such books in given time, the pro blem gathers difficulties.
 MT Carnegie's three-year rule-that is to say, no current novel should be purchased for a public library that is not three years old, meaning thereby 1t shall not be purchased at all. has been amended by MT. Putnam of the library of Congress, who proposes to cut down the period to one year. Ev- idently Mir Putnam thinks the novel of the day will in a years time be so dead 1t could not become deader, and no one would think of buying it.
 MT. Foster of the Providence Public Library, one of the best conducted institutions in the land, comes to the rescue with a new proposition He would restrict the purchase of current fiction to fifteen or twenty titles an nually. He purchased but seventeen in the year 1901, and his library did not lose either in popularity or effl- ciency. MT Foster is however a re- markable librarian. By putting for ward attractive lists of essays, biogra- phies and travels he has succeeded in cutting down the per centage of f1c- tion to 56, including juvenile books. It is when the circulation of fiction rises to 80 or even 90 that students and capitalists become alarmed, and especially is this the case when these high per centages rarely include such books as the Mill on the Floss "A Tale of Two Cities" or Vanity Fair"

ONE OF HIS CORRESPONDENTS.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 Some of President Roosevelt's cores pondence amuses him not little by its Individuality and frankness
 A boy friend wrote him the other day that people around his neghborhood were quoting the President as saying to person who had got worsted in strug- gle and was inclined to complain: What ever else you do, don't squeal!" The boy wanted to know whether the President really said this. He added that he had submitted the question to his teacher, who had assured him that the quotation could not have been genuine because the like 'squeal," which Is not refined"
 The whole letter was thoroughly boy ish. even to the spelling and punctuation and had evidently not been dictated, or even supervised by any other person. With this notion of sustaining discip- line MT. Roosevelt could not, of course, contradict the teacher by admitting that he did say "squeal," or by insisting that the word was 'refined.'' So he chose the pleasant subterfuge of diverting his young correspondent attention to an other admonition.
 Do you play football?' he wrote. "If so. here Is a motto for you: Don't foul Don't finch. Strike the line hard. !"

Foundries of the Country.

At the opening of the present year lthere were 4615 iron foundries in the country. Pennsylvania easily leads the lisk of States, possessing i721. The small foundry is still very much fin evidence, and perhaps always will be. It is near consumers, and large foundries cannot for that reason crush if
 In the South. Alabama, having 76 foundries. ds outranked by Virginia only which has 79. In the Southern States as d whole there has been gain of twenty per cent in two years 1r,the number of foundries.
 Thirty-three cities have twenty or .more foundries each. These cities .are the 5oundry ,centers of the coun- dry. Chicago is at the top, closely fol- lowed by Philadelphia, Pitsburg, Brooklyn, Cleveland and Milwaukee. Birmingham holds a creditable place in the Hist, haying IS iron foundries iana brass foundries. No other Southern city apepars on the list nn- Hess indeed Louisville be considered Southern town.
 The South is weak in stovemaking, and especially in the malleable iron 3ndustrys there being but one mallea- lble plant in the South, the one at Chattanooga. Anniston is, however, Ge have one soon. Tennessee makes anere stoves than any other Southern State, but this section does not make its own stoves. The total number of feundries is however increasing in the South, 1t now has 656, as against $50 two years ago. A like gain in the ne&t two years may give us more stove factories and a due proportion cf other foundries.

The Smallest Microbe.

"The smallest microbe yet known Is said to have been discovered by MT. o. Voges of Buenos Ayres," remarked a physician.
 Tt is muah less than the influenza bacillus. and only just discernible when magnified about l5oo times. The work of the smallest bacterium In this troubled world is to produce deadly abscesses, known in South America as monguea, in cattle. with thi. soacial characteristic the hotter the climate the more fatal the infection. A further peculiarity is that if the abscess is opened in its early stages of the disease is arrested and the animal saved. Minuteness of the germs of disease is no particular advantage to the victims; the influenza microbe make up for it's dim minutiveness by overwhelm ing numbers"

Unnumbered Houses.

There Is an ordinance requiring all houses in the city to display their num- bers but there are hundreds of residences that have no numbers on them. and this neglect on the part of the owners or occupants causes letter carriers much trouble" said the postmaster
 There are some blocks with several houses in a row that have no numbers In sight. It Is hoped the city authorities will look after this matter.
 Another trouble in the delivery serVlce arises from the fact that many business men and families who remove from one location to another fail to notify the post master of the change. Postoffiee em- ployes and carriers have trained memor- les but they cannot be expected to re- member every thing or to find people when they do not know where to look for them. If men who move would only think to leave their new address at the postoffice there would be few letters un- delivered.

The Rubaiyat.

There is a new translation of the Rubaiyat and the author Is Frederick Baron Corvo,' said a member of a lit erary club
 Whether Corvo has translated his yer sion from the original Fitz-Gerald or from some other author does not appear. My own belief has been for many years that there never was any such person as Omar Khayyam, but of course that is not the general opinion. It seems that in order to make a new version of this al- legged Persian poet it Is not necessary to know single word of Persian. This was shown in the case of the version prepared by MT. Le Gallienne. There is a consid- erable mystery attached to the Omar cult and perhaps not the least myst erious thing about 1t is that so many persons should accept the alleged Omar as a sort of inspired prophet

MORGAN ON PRIMARIES.
pm the Mobile Register,

From the Mobile Register,
 Writing to the Standard of Daphne re- garding the popular election of Senators John T. Morgan, senior Senator of the state, lays down this theorem as to prl- maries
 The principle on which primary cleo tions are based is that of careful scrutiny of candidates by the people with an elec- tion to follow, in which that examination is repeated. As too, careful an examina- tion cannot be made into such matters, the principle is correct In government
 It is right to say that this was not writ ten as a comment upon the question of primaries recently raised in Alabama. but the abstract principle could not be better stated than has been done by Senator Morgan. We need now more than ever in the history of the party a careful scru- tiny of candidates, and an honest express sion of the will of the people. If we do not get it, the party will be disrupted. 1t Is idle for the leaders to think they can endorse and perpstuate old methods and retain the confidence of progressive people: We are living in new era; and If this fact Is not quickly recognized there VII be 8 rsXelytiea,
