LIBRARY GAINS VALUE
Many Valuable Accessions
During the Year.
REPORT TO CONGRESS
MR.. PUTNAM REVIEWS WORK OF
TWELVE MONTHS.
Sunday Opening a Remarkable Sue
cess-Interesting Statistics Present.
ed-The Jackson Papers.

Herbert Putnam. librarian of Congress.
today submitted to that body his annual
report. The activities Of the year that
may be Indicated by statistics are set
forth in several tables embodied in the
text or appendices. These include state
ment Of the appropriations and. their
expenditure, the number of books, maps,
manuscripts, prints, &c., added to the
several collections. the number of pieces
catalogued, classified and located on the
shelves; the number of catalogue cards and
of other publications compiled, printed and
distributed during the year; the number CT
visitors and readers and the recorded use,
and the volume of the copyright business.
THE progress of the library. which is
more significant" says Mr.. Putnam, can
not be expressed In figures. 1t consists in
the gradual perfection Of its equipment and
of Its service. in a development of its col
Iections appropriate to- its purpose as
library for research, and in a wider adver-
tisement and acceptance of its functions as
national library, with a duty to the en-
tire country"
The total expenditures on account of the
library during the year, including the care
and maintenance of the building and
grounds. were $654, 041.23
Copyright entries during the year num-
bered 97,9I9. and the revenues from the
office In fees amounted to $6S,S74.5O. The
fees from copyrights are covered into the
treasury and not applied directly to the
maintenance Of the copyright office. They
form regular revenue of the government,
however. giving net revenue over the d.
rect expenses of the office.
In addition to cash fees the copyright
business brings each year to the govern
ment. tn the articles deposited, property to
the value of many thousands of dollars.
During the past fiscal year 49, 140 such
articles were received. whose value of
course. far exceeded the amount Of the net
cash earnings.
The contents of the library at the close
of the fiscal year were as follows: Printed

A Very Busy Time.

Saturday night, although 1t
poured down rain, Wells street was
a perfec; jam. filled with people OF
all classes shopping. Ladies with
new hats were numerous and the
milliners must have had an elegant
trade, even early Sunday morning
hats were delivered. The sale of
potted plants and cut flowers was
the largest ever known in the his
tory OF the city. The dealers In
flowers ordered and rc ordered and
were sill unable to supply the
trade. The merchants were all
busy, and although very tired, they
woe big broad smile ofprosperity
and kept their stores open until
nearly midnight. People can talk
as they will, but S!stersyllle was
never so prosperous as 1t Is today.

The Doctrine Of Monroe.

The powers grit their savage teeth and
swear it Is sham;
They hurt their wild invective at our
watchful Uncle Sam;
They call 1t Yankee impudence," "un-
mitigated gall"
And hot as pepper from their lips the
wordy droppings fall.
The kaiser gives his war mustache full
many nervous pull
The earth is SCARED by pawings of dis
gruntled Johnny Bull.
The croakings of the Frenchy frog join In
the tale of woe.
But none of them dares monkey with the
doctrine of Monroe.
The editors across the seas use vitriolic
ink
In jotting down for public print the fiery
thoughts they think:
They work themselves into a sweat of
frenzied holiness while
They throw their puffballs at the wall in
idlotic style.
Their people read the sizzling words and
gnash their teeth In rage;
Their blazing eyes almost burn holes
right through the printed page;
Anathemas from heated lips in sparkling
torrents flow,
Yet not a hand is raised against the doc
trine of Monroe
Meanwhile your good old Uncle Sam sits
in his easy chair
And reads the mouthings of the press
with an unrufied air
And strokes the drapery on his chin and
smiles serenely at
The fuss they're kicking up about a little
thing like that
He calmly smokes his good cigar but in
his eyes we see
A twinkle fraught with meaning to the
sons of liberty;
1t says that if barking dog should dare
to bite he'll show
The sort of backing that's behind the
doctrine of Monroe

WILL SEND $4OO FREE.
To Each Reader Franklin
Miles, NJ. D., LII B., the
Wealthy Chicago Specialist,
Will Send $4.00 Worth of
His New Individual Treat
ment Free.

That DR.. Miles is one of the most sue
cessful and reliable of physicians Is
proven by hundreds of testimonials from
well-known people. One patient cured
after failure of eleven Grand Rapids
physicians, two after having been given
up by six or seven Chicago physicians,
another after nine of the leading doc
tors in New York City, Philadelphia and
Chicago failed. Thousands of testi-
monials sent on request.
The late Prof. J. S. Jewell, NJ D., editor of
the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases,
suits" Prof. J. P. Ross, NJ. D., President of
Rush Medical College, wrote in 1874 "Dr.
Miles has taken two courses of my private in
struction in diseases Of the heart and lungs"
Col. N. e. Parker, exTreasurer of South Car
olina, says II believe Dr. Miles to be an ut
tentiye and skillfu physician in field which
requires tn" best qualities of head and heart"
Col. A. NJ. Tucker late General Manager OF N.

o ofs of the hp ReR
ulars, U: S. A., San Diego, Cal, says: Your
Special Treatment has worked wonders when
all else failed. | had employed the best medi-
cal talent and had spent 5000"
When an experienced and wealthy
physician offers to prescribe free 100000
worth of treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in his skill And when hundreds
Of prominent men and women freely
testify to his unusual skill and the sup
eriority of his New Individual Treat
ment, his liberality is certainly worthy
of serious consideration.
The Doctors new system OF treatment
is thoroughly scientific and immensely
superior to ordinary methods.
AS all afflicted readers may have "a 90
worth of treatment especially prescribed
for each case, free, with ful directions,
we would advise them to send for Copy

TEA ROOT CARVINGS.
Fantastic Wooden Objects That Are
Fashioned In the Orient.

Fantastic Wooden Objects That Arc
Fashioned In the Orient.
The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the far east and are known
as tea root carvings have long been the
basis Of a prosperous industry in the
populous city Of Fuchau. Strictly
speaking, the name is a misnomer.
Some of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks, but the
vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks Of
hardwood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts, pedestal and one
or more human figures fitted to the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from root and the latter from a
trunk. The roots are selected with con-
siderable care. They must be compara-
lively free from dry rot, decay and
worm holes and must possess a rude
symmetry. They are cleaned, scrub
bed and scraped and sawed to about
the desired size; then the artist with
chisel, gouge, knife and pinchers re
moves rootlets and roots until the fig
ure is completed.
The simplest design is three legged
pedestal, of which the base is a rough
cylinder of wens and knobs. Any num-
Der of legs may be used. A curious
specimen seen by the writer in the
Grand hotel, Yokohama; has fifty legs,
while the body has been so treated as
to suggest horny centiped. A second
type of PEDESTAL is the mushroom. A
third type is an animal form, such as
the buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or
dragon.
Nearly always the chisel is guided by
humor or satire. If it be a saint who
is depicted, the look Of piety or suffer-
ing is replaced by leer or drunken
grimace; If 1t be warrior, every limb
and muscle is nodded so as to suggest
decrepitude or n desire to run away.
Quang III, the invincible soldier
prince, is frequently portrayed stand
ing on one leg, with the other extended
like professional rope balancer.-New
York Post.

WATERFALLS IN JAPAN.
They Are Almost Countless and Are
Used as Shr1nes.


The waterfalls of japan are almost
countless There Is one at every turn,
and where there was not one in the
beginning the Japs have made one, for
it is their passion. Every little garden
has q fall or two, and it would not be
considered a garden at all without it.
There are many very beautiful ones in
various parts Of the country, and they
are all of them shrines visited by
thousands of pilgrims every year. They
do not pray to them as to statue of
Buddha, but they first pass up little
paper prayer on convenient rock and
then sit down In rapt attention and
gaze at the falling water for hours, TAX
ing an occasional cup Of tea at little
teahouse which always stands close at
hand.
The Japs are great at making pill
grimages anyway. When man has
reached the age of forty-five, he is sup
posed to have raised a family which
will in the future take care of him.
About the first thing he does on retir-
ing is to start on series of pilgrimages.
Sometimes he joins band of fellow
pilgrims, or, if comparatively wealthy,
he sometimes takes his wife and mi
nor child and makes the pilgrimages by
himself. These pilgrim bands can al
ways be seen moving about the coun-
try. They carry little banners with the
name of their city and district marked
on them, and when they have received
good entertainment at teahouse or
hotel they hang one Of their banners up
in a conspicuous place as testimonial.
Often a band of pilgrims will travel
from one end of the country to the 9th
er visiting every temple and waterfall
In the land.
