PRESERVATION OF NEWSPAPERS.

That leading men of the twentieth
century are going to the newspapers
for their history is shown by the activ-
ity of the officers of the British mu-
scum in providing room for the pres
ervation of files of the best dailies and
weeklies. This has been done to a
limited extent for a number of years,
but there came such a congestion that
it was only a question of short. Pc
Rod until the practice would have to
be stopped altogether or some special
provision made for newspaper files.
Many plans were considered and the
decision was reached after much. de-
liberation to petition parliament for
the necessary funds to erect a special
building wherein may be stored news
papers and other printed matter rarely
required for public use,- but which
could be consulted by those desiring to
do SO ION due notice being given -
Such a measure is now before parlia.-
ment, and, as it is meeting with no op-
position, will be passed some time in
the near future.
Due regard for the value of neWspa-
pers is taken at the Congressional Ii
brary, Washington, particular pains
being taken to preserve files of news
papers considered among the classics
OF American Journalism. 1t is to be
regretted that this work of preserva-
ton was not begun earlier. Papers
printed fifty years ago are almost i'm
possible to find in any shape, and even
those of thirty and twenty years ago
are frequently not to be obtained. Now
that the movement for preservation is
becoming general in both Great Brit
ain and the United States it is hoped
the libraries of all cities of size will
keep complete files Of the best news
papers printed in their neighborhoed.

HOTELS ON DESERT ISLE
FOR WRECKED SAILORS
Depots Are Established On Uninhab.
tied Islands for Castaways.

Depots Are Established On Uninhab-
tied Islands for Castaways.
In the Indian ocean, nearly midway
between the Cape of Good Hope and
Tasmania, is Amsterdam island, an
uninhabited and well-nigh inaccessible
rock, sterile, wild and wind-swept.
Yet ships crew that has the mis-
fortune to be cast away upon IT need
not perish, for here is situated one
or the many depots for shipwrecked
mariners which our own and other
governments have dotted about on the
lone places of the earth.
This particular depot, or hotel, has
been established in large cavern on
the northeast extremity of the island,
and contains 1850 pounds Of preserv-
ed beef, 1,125 pounds Of biscuit, 10
wooden shirts, 10 pairs of cotton draw
erS, 10 blankets and one soldered red
box, inside of which are four packets
or matches. There are also cots for
sleeping on, a. cooking pot and a guam
t1ty OF dry wood, while hard by cab
bages and celery grow wild, and fish
and Holsters abound near the only
landing place.
The officers of the French man-of-
war Eure, who established this store
also planted two fiagstaffs, and mid
way between them a cross, with a view
TO assisting possible castaways to To-
cate it. Having landed, the ship
wrecked mariners are instructed to
climb to one or the other of these flag
Stats, from either of which the cross
can be plainly discerned. One of the
arms points directly to two ruined
stone huts, a little way beyond which is
the cavern, the entrance to which faces
seward.
Sixty miles north of Amsterdam ISL
and IS st. Paul'S, another lonely islet
OF volcanic origin, and here also sim
liar work of mercy has recently been
carried out by the same ship. The
depot in this case, however, is in a hut
of rough stones with a matched roof,
which has been specially erected on the
northern side of the crater of the ex-
t1nct volcano whose -incrusted
surface of the island. The provisions
and clothes are similar in kind and
quantity to those mentioned above, but,
as an extra precaution, they have been
packed within thirteen iron-hooped
barrels coated with tar and sand and
secured under a tarpaulin. On the
door of the hut is an inscription in
French: 'Victuals and clothing for
shipwrecked Sailors
France is not alone in this peculiarly
praiseworthy work of mercy. Great
Britain is constantly establishing SINH
lar depots on lonely, uninhabited ISL
ands, the majority of which have at
some period or another done good serv-
ice in saving life, but some of which
remain undisturbed year after year.

The Right Rev. Thomas Underwood

one on himself:
A number of years ago he was going
by train to one Of the smaller towns
of his diocese to hold services. He
was enjoying a cigar in the smoker,
and upon the seat facing him was a
very large valise, containing his clerical
vestments. A drummer sitting back
Of him, noticing his jaunty travelling

w. Weeks, of the department Of pub
lie baths, made a report to the Bor-
ough president, regarding the alleged
charge Of cents made by some Of the
attendants, on some of the bathers.
Mr.. Weeks said that the attendants
only asked the money from persons
whose appearance showed that they
were able to pay. He said the practice
had been SO long established that the
attendants regarded it as legitimate
prerequisite of their positions. He rec
commended Justice tempered with
mercy" and asked that attendants be
given opportunity to redeem the past.
President Canton replied that any city
official who exaets tribute for private
gain should be punished not only by
discharge, but by prosecution. He or

THE CALIFORNIA DUNKARDs.
A Sect THAT strives 20 Live According
90 the Teachings OF the New
Testament.

The Dunkards of southern Califor-
mia live in one Of the prettiest val
leys in that part Of the state al the
foot Of the san Gabriel spur Of the
Sierra Madres-30 miles east from
Los Angeles. They get their liveli-
hood from little fruit orchards and
principally from olive and lemon
groves, says a Los Angeles report.
The central Dunkard town is
Lordsburg, a village Of 1000 people,
with trim but very plain houses,
neatly kept streets fanked by shade
trees, a large college building and a
church, about which the whole coli
ony rotates. One can scarcely mag
inc a more decorous, solemn COM
munity than Lordsburg.
The whole population arises az
dawn, is industriously busy all day
long. never speaking on any subject
but those concerning the colony
thrift, the manifestation of the di-
vine will, the extension Of the sect's
Influence and the Interpretation OF
Scriptural passages. At sunset there
are brief devotional services in every
Dunkard home, and when the meal
IS over, each household gathers
about its head for Bible reading and
religious contemplation. Seldom is
light seen in a home in Lordsburg
after nine o'clock at night.
