the subject of the preservation of
State reports by libraries. The paper
contains so many interesting points
bearing upon the matter that we pre-
sent ii in full herewith:
In the whole field of literature there
IL not another class of books that has
been SO little understood and so poorly
appreciated as state publications,
usually styled public documents
These works consist of the reports of
the departments and institutions of a
state. They are usually regarded with
contempt and rdicule by the unthink-
ing, and with indifference by librarians
The prejudice and Indifference against
these publications is largely due tn
our ignorance of their contents and OF
the numberless uses to which the facts
contained in them may be put. This
ignorance is due 10 several different
causes. Tntil within the last twenty
years. these publications were bound
IN unsightly volumes and no order of
sequence and no grouping together of
kindred subjects was observed But
the most fatal defect was the utter
want of any table of contents or sub
ject index. At this day of easy things

Chinese DupIicity.

A south sea islander said of his race,
"As soon as we open our mouths lie
is born" The Chinese acknowledge
without shame the same Of themselves.
1t may be true among western nations
that "the affairs Of life hinge upon con-
fidence" but in the east, and especially
in China, they hinge upon suspicion.
There are few Chinese who attach any
Importance to keeping an engagement.
Most of them are like the man who,
being accused of having broken his
promise, replied that it was Of no con-
sequence, as he could make another
just as good. The Chinese say that
one should never refuse a request in an
abrupt manner; on the contrary, he
should grant it in form, although with
no intention to do so in substance. "Put
him off till tomorrow and then until
another tomorrow. Thus you comfort
his heart" they say.

FRENCH THRIFT.
Examples Found In the Parks ana
open Squares of Paris.


There is no better place to study
French frugality than in the parks
and open squares Of Paris. Go to one
OF the secondhand fairs held on the
outer boulevards. What in other coun-
tries would be cast aside as useless is
here exposed for sale, having been
carefully sorted over by ragplckers,
whose sole support is the rubbish
which you see-brollen china, bits of
glass, pieces of stone, old nails. old
pots and pans, old shoes, old combs
and brushes. Docs woman need a
cup? Has she broken a saucer? For ?
cents she can replace them. Is her lock
broken, her key lost? Behold a thou
sand from which to choose. The poor
students may find their books, mothers
their children's shoes, says Donohoe's
Magazine.
Each house in Paris is provided by
the city with a large box. Into this the
servants throw all that is not needed
by the family, whether of food or raj
ment Every morning the chiffoniers
or ragpickers are privileged TO search
through these boxes before the con-
tents are carted by the city to distant
fields, where the refuse is employed in
fertilizing the soil. From the homes Of
the wealthy the poor receive many ar
ticles Of real value. Fifty thousand
ragpickers, say the statistics, realize
$4,000 daily from their pickings.

nIeht ana LED CIGARS.

1t is not always because a cigar is
badly made that the wrapper curls up
and works off, says the Tobacco Work
er. 1t Is often because a right handed
man IS smoking left handed cigar. A
cleft handed cigar" Is one rolled by the
makers left hand, for all cigar makers
must be ambidextrous. A piece Of to-
bacco for the wrapper is cut on the
bias and is rolled from left to right on
the filler. The other piece for reasons
of economy is then used and must be
rolled the opposite way by the opera
tors other hand. Hence a smoker who
holds a cigar in his right hand, some
times twisting it about rubs the wrap
per the wrong way and loosens 1t.
