NEW HOME FOR LIBRARY.
Preparations Being Made for the RE-
moval of the Public Library 90 New
Quarters Rooms In the snod-
grass Building Leased

By the beginning OF Dext week the
Martinsburg Public Library will be
snugly fitted ia new quarters. Eve
since the library has been in existence
it has been located on the second floor
of the Flick Luildlng, Public Square,
aud for sometime past the offices OF
the Library Association have been
looking about for more convenient
location.
The desired locatioe, or ct least the
building which came nearest to being
the desired location, was found in the
Snodgrass building, corner King aud
College stl Gets. The two rooms, which
are separated by sliding doors, are
situated in the corner Of the build
ing. and on the first floor, are larger
and have moe light than the rooms
in which the libsary is now located
Therefore the move is considered
good one.
The library's new home is now be-
lug fitted up preparatory TO the re-
novel 1t is the intention to move
the library this week and, if possible,
to have the books properly arranged
on the shelves and everything in order
by the beginning of next week.

Animal Inteiiigenes.

Elephants are among the most se-
verely drilled OF animals. Their intelli-
gence does rot have free play in CON
sequence But all English trainers
agree that there is great difference In
capacity between them and that some
will learn and remember a lesson far
more quickly than others
Cats have very level brains and
are too self conferred and self contained
as a rule TO show the distinctions
which exist between them. Their
strongest instinct is toward IA kind Of
domestic comfort not exactly shared
with human beings, but enjoyed In
their company. TO which the cat per
fectly adapts itself. let there are mis-
ahthi opic cats which make no secret OF
their dislike and contempt for mankind
in general. only come into the house
under protest and would prefer TO sleep
In coal cellar 10 taking their nap in
good society These are the exceptions
in the cat world. but every one has met
with them.
Birds are usually regarded as pos
sessing brains in Glasses" not as indi-
viduals, the origin of the belief being
probably the fact that birds OF one
species usually build exactly the same
kind OF nest. The generalization is not
correct. The same species may have
brains of all capacities.-Lo Spec

WHAT MOVED THE Doof
Remarkable story of Canine In
teiIiGence and Affection.

Among the tales told of the intelli-
gence and affection of our canine
friends by Mrs. Sarah X. Bolton in her
book, Our Devoted Friend, the Dog"
is the story OF Dan. a deerhound owned
by Mr.. L. @. Meachamp of Homer, La.
Mr.. Meachamp was one day going on
a squirrel hunt and. not wishing Dan
10 accompany him, tied the dog to
post by rope. Dan whined and beg
ged, but finding his master obdurate he
at last lay down quietly before his
kennel
1t was growing dusk and time for
the hunter TO return, when Mrs. Mea-
champ was suddenly disturbed by the
winning and barking of the dog, who
had been quiet all day up to that time.
She spoke to the dog, but instead OF
being paciied at this attention he re-
doubled his eXertlons and broke the
rope which held him. Then he bounded
away, over the fence and into the
woods.
He was gone perhaps half an hour
when he came running back, painting
and almost GREATNESS, with his mas
ter's hat in his mouth
Mrs Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and, calling her son, they set
OF TO find the missing man, Dan all
the time bounding ahead and leading
Che way. At length they came upon
Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless in the
woods where he had fallen into a little
ditch and broken his leg
The accident happened. as nearly as
could be reckoned, at the moment
when the dog began to show his I'M
easiness. That he should have had
knowledge Of the accident seems in
credible but his master firmly be-
lieves that he did know it and that it
was because he knew it that he was so
anxious to get away.

PecuIlnr Table Customs.

In a book entitled Domestic Man
ners of the Middle Ages" we are tolC
that in those days dinner tables were
covered by a "nappe." or tabecloth
Upon it were placed large saltcellar,
bread and cups for wine. but no knives
or plates. The reason for the absence
of the knives arose from the common
practice in vogue of people carrying
their own knives in sheath attached
to their girde.
In an early work, written by Lyd
gate-"Rues For Behavior at Table
the guests are told TO bring no knives
unsecured TO the table which can only
mean that each one was to keep his
own knife-that is. the one he carried
with him--clean.

Mixing His Metanhors.

To Lord Rosebery's famous "spade
and wind" metaphor may be added two
or three lapses. not all of which are
mixed metaphors perpetuated by Lord
Londonderry.
In 1896 Lord Londonderry threw the
pouse of lords into roars Of laughter
during the debate on the second read
ing of the Irish land bill by gravely de-
clarlng that this is the reason why
you have failed to settle the Irish land
question i'm the future as you have done
in the past
In the course of the same speech he
concluded Il period with, This is the
Keystone of the BILL are you going TO
kill itg"

uttered in 1897 when speaking once
more on the Irish land question. That

Life consists in a series Of changes of
tissue and the human economy is sim
ply, so far as its material part is con
cerned, a machine and primarily de-
ponds on food as the most important
factor in keeping it in working order.
When it is said that we commence to
die as soon as we are born, il of course
means that certain parts Of the body
immediately begin to perish; their eX
istence is ephemeral; they come and
go. are replenished and decay They
are the dying parts of that system Of
life which may last little while. but
which must eventually yield to the I'm
exorable law of nature. The nails, the
hair, etc. are observable rs an instance
Of this decay. The same rule applies
to every other organ and tissue of the
body, though it is not palpable 10 the
naked eye. The skin is always peoling.
The food that is taken in the one hour
nourishes the system and elects that
which was taken the hour before.

Many OF the smaller and weaker

The larger and bolder ones. like the

and humming birds, migrate foarlcssly

FIND THE SUNNY SIDE.
Try 10 &c, out OF tge Gloom and the
shadows OF Life.

Nothing contributes more 20 the high
est success than the formation OF the
habit Of enjoying things. Whatever
YOUR calling in life may be, whatever
misfortunes or hardships may come to
you. make up your mind resolutely
that, come what may, you will get the
most possible real enjoyment out of ev-
cry day, that you will increase your
capacity for enjoying life by trying to
find the sunny side of every experience
of the day. Resolutely determine that
you will see the humorous side or
things. No matter how hard or I'M
yielding your environment may seem
to be, there is sunny side If you can
only see it. The mirth provoking fac
ulty, even under trying circumstances,
is worth more to young man or wo-
man starting out in life than fortune
without il. Make up your mind that
you will be an optimist; that there
shall be nothing OF the pessimist about
you; that you will carry your own sun
shine wherever you 20.
There is longevity i'm the sunny soul
that eases our jots and makes our
sides shake with laughter.
There is a wonderful medicinal effect
in good cheer Good news and glad H.
dings have magic effect even upon
invalids.
We often see a whole store or factory
or home transformed by one sunny
soul. On the other hand, we have seen
them blighted and made dark by a
gloomy, morose. fault finding person.
