expedient of placing luggage on the

A BASKET LIBRARY.
Novel Plan Of Circulating Books Tried
az Northampton, Mass.

4 free public library in a basket is
something new IN the library line,
says the New York Sun, but it has
been tried in two or three laces and
has worked successfully. The town
OF Northampton. Mass, has the dis
tinction Of circulating more books
through Its public library than almost
any similar institution in the United
States, in proportion to population,
and the basket library has proved one
of several elements in achieving this
record.
Two young women connected with
the library, enthusiasts in thelrwork,
under the direction Of the librarian,
went out into the suburbs with a
basket Of books one fine day in the
summer, and pumped themselves
down by the wayside, near a large
mill. When the workmen came out
and passed by on their way to their
homes, the young women explained
to them that they could take any Of
the books along with them if they
signed the necessary papers, which
would make them liable in case the
books were damaged or destroyed.
The workmen became interested
and soon the young women found
they had plenty of business on their
hands. They made the trip two or
three times a week, and little by little
the workmen got to look for them.
On the days appointed library
janitor would hustle the book basket
on the front platform Of trolley car,
and near the end of the line the mo-
torman would stop and put it off for
them Right where they stopped the
young women opened shop.
Each day they would receive many
books returned by the workmen and
would lend them Others. Usually
they brought out with them the books
the men had signilied a wish to read.
Sooner or later a small branch library
will probably take the place of the
basket, which, by the way, before the
close of the summer, had grown into
a large and capacious clothes basket.
A prominent Librarian in one of the
cities near New York in speaking Of
the basket library Of Northampton
the other day said:

himself to the officers with the re-

officers complied with his request.
A few hours later, a native who was
badly bruised and cut, came shrieking
into the station and announced that
he had just been assaulted and
robbed. When asked who his assail-
ant was, he named the native who had
been locked up at his own request.
Investigation showed that the second
native had inflicted wounds upon
himself for the purpose of getting an
enemy into Jail. The man he was

A SYRIAN INDUSTRY.
Cultivation of Poplars for Lumber Ex-

The cultivation Of poplars for lum-
Der is an extensive industry in Syria,
writes W. +. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record-Herald. a crop is planted
regularly every year. BY irrigation
the trees grow rapidly, shooting up
like stalks of sugar cane, and are kept
trimmed so that all the strength Of
the sap shall go into the trunk and
none shall be wasted in branches.
You see mile after mile of groves of
chin wasted poplars planted as close
ly as possible. When tkey are large
enough they are cut close to the
ground, shipped to market and the
roots are grubbed out for fuel. There
is great demand for roof poles or
rafters. The houses in this part of
the world, like those in Mexico. are
built of adobe-sun-dried clay. The
walls are erected, poplar poles are
laid across them, covered with brush
and then with mud, which contains
so much clay that with the use of a
little straw it becomes as hard as
brick. The houses may be white
washed or not, according to the
wealth and taste of theowners, They
cost very little either in money or la
Dor, and look as if heavy rain would
wash them away, but some of them
have endured for centuries.
