GETS LITERARY GEMS.
The London Times Wants the EHpor-
tati0n of Rare works
stopped.

The London Times the other morn
ing published n special article asking
If nothing can be done to stop the
continuous Wholesale expectation Of
rare and early printed books and
illuminated manuscripts to the United
States. The article describes another
fine collection of books and manu-
scripts which has just been purchased
by an American gentleman, who does
not wish his name disclosed.
This library consists of 700 items
ench Of the highest interest and value
it was formed TO exemplify the origin
and development OF early illustrated
books, and includes 80 fine examples
from the Caxton press, and the very
choicest manuscripts and printed
books from the late william Morris
fine library, in addition to hundreds o:
other choice examples for which the
collector Of the library secured Europe
for many years.
The formation OF another such col
lection, says the Times, is scarcely
within the range OF possibility.

NEGRO SCARED WHITE.
strange Eject of Terror on the Black
Cook of an Eastern Sail
Ing Ship.

Fear Of death in the midst OF a storm
which threatened to send the schOon-
er Fred A. Small to the bottom Is said
to have changed Herm BlancO, n full
blooded negro, into a white man. The
change lasted three days. Then, so
the story goes, Blanco's natural color
asserted itself once more, and he re-
sumed his place on shipboard as a
man Of ebony, reports the New York
Mail and Express.

he was almost as white as snow"

was towed to dry dock. Three weeks
ago she left Valparaiso with cargo
Of wood. birds and monkeys. Six days

ORDERED THEIR HAIR CUT.
what Happened to Two American
Newspaper Correspondents
In st. vincent

The large corps of newspG per cor
respondents which went down to the
West Indies after the volcano disas-
tiers brought back any number OF in
teresting stories of their adventures
at St. Vincent and Martinique. The
best of these perhaps, is one concern
ing two well-known correspondents
who started to explore the streets
OF st. Vincent town, says the wash
ington Star. One of them went into
a hat shop and the other waited out
side for his companion to emerge
While basking in the hot sunlight
a great six-fOot West Indian negro
came up to him and inquired If he
was from the United States steamship
Dixie. The correspondent replied in
the affirmative, whereupOn the negro
informed him that he represented the
St. Vincent board Of health, and that
the spondent must have his hair
cut Immediately or return to his ship.
The newspaper man smiled scornful-
". The negro did not, but firmly told
him that he must take him back to
his ship il he refused to lose his back
locks. And the negro looked as II
he could do it. At this juncture the
correspondents friend came out OF
the hat store and joined him. The big
negro presented the same ultimatum
to the newcomer, and finally both cor
respondents were escorted down the
1. n ii I,n1th official
As they turned into an intersecting
thoroughfare the trio met with a po-
liceman, and in a twinkling the stall
wart negro had become but flying
black streak away down the avenue.
The two men told the story to the
guardian Of the peace, who smiled
sardonically. "Why, that man is a
barber" he said, land keeps shop

PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Turf 10 Not SO Much Hurt Dy tne
Feet as 1t Is from Soil
Exhaustion.

The question OF removing or repiac-
ing keep off the grass" signs in pub
lie parks has become one Of lively IN
terest in many cities because OF re-
port that the turf in Central park,
New York, is in danger, on account
Of the crowds not being kept to the
roads and paths, remarks the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
Comparison of experiences leads to
the conclusion that it is not so much
the feet Of the people straying over
the grass that has caused the ms
chief as the misjudgment OF the park
management. The turf is perishing
because the soil is becoming exhaust
ed, Other PARIS have for years been
free TO the people, who are allowed
to wander where they please and set
tie themselves down on the cool turf
in twos and threes, and in larger fam
lily groups. Park parties gather and
school picnics bivouac under the shade
Of the trees, while the children romp
and scamper in the open spaces with
no Keep off the grass" signs TO scare
them to the roads made perilous by
swift automobiles or thronged with
carriages. In spite Of all this the
grass in these parks flourishes, the
turf seeming to be the better instead
Of the worse for this usage.
The parks are for the people. The
only way the masses Of the people
can enjoy then selves IS by having
the Freedom Of the grass. The ex-
perience Of other cities, as well as
that of Cleveland, is that under rea-
sonable regulations such use OF the
parks is not injurious TO the turf,
soil in condition to supply the grass
roots with proper nourisnment.

According To n New York dealer
the market Is flooded with Peruvian
panamas. They are woven IN Peru,
Bolivia and Ecuador from the libers
Of the palm, which are kneaded like
flax before they are woven. Then
the hats are shipped To Paris. where
they go through a process which
gives them stiffness and gloss. After
journeying TO Paris the hats are
shipped TO New York and sold for
Sl.75. Some OF them are rebleached

which ease they are sold for Ave dol

purchased in the shops this year for

FIRST SURVEY OF PANAMA.

ing Was Done Untii De
Lessep's Day.

How many Americans know that the
first exploration for the route OF the
Panama canal was made by II. de la
Serna as far back as l527-2s? Many
different explorations followed, and
suggestions from various quarters.
but nothing definite was done until
De Lesseps formulated his famous
scheme. This was opposed by the
United States. Americans then want
ed .he canal to 20 through Nicaragua.
and this plan was favored by Gen.
Grant in 1879. But nothing was done
Says Harper's Encyclopedia OF the
United States: "In 1884 the people Of
the United States and France SUBJ
scribed large sums toward n French
company, beaded by Count de Lesseps,
of SueZ canal fame. which announced
It's intention Of cutting canal
through the isthmus OF Panama" The
subsequent financial catastrophe is
well known. In 1899 the Panama Canal
Company Of America was incorporated
with a capital Of $50, 100000. 1t was
then estimated that II would cost $685.

he said.
"Well, what OF it?" he was asked.
"My pop had SO many wagons he had

ton until the health officer sent for

Ford came and volunteered to take
care of the sick man.
