 The committee appointed at the an- nual meeting of the NewtOwn Library Association held meeting on Monday evening of this week and discussed at length the law of the state relating to Free Public Libraries and the steps which it would be necessary to take in town. They considered the practica- bility of esta bliShing distributing sta tions in the different centers of popula- tion, and the use which might be made of our valuable library in the work of the High school. They also looked carefully into the matter of the ex- pense to the town and how it would affect the individual taxpayer, as we'll as the help which would be granted by the State appropriation. The con- mittee are of one mind as to the need and benefit of this movement in giving free books to all our people, old and young. But before making report to the Library Association, they wish to find the sentiment of the people on this measure, to get all the suggestions In fact, as this is a public measure, they wish to have the public say how they feel about it and get their advice. A public meeting will, therefore, be held in the Library on Saturday even ing, January 31, at 7.3O o'clock and il is hoped that all who are interested will be present.

these you can buy to save the Sunday baking), homemade candy (fudge, pop corn balls and all that), and doughnuts Hast but not least: doughnuts). You see we are trying to make big success of this, so we are trying to have just about everything that you would think of buying. All the proceeds are going toward the decorating of the interior of our church, and the Endeavor socl- ety wants to take big slice out of the bill. Won't you join right in and help us? Why, yes, the children have al- ready started over the hills.

How can we adjust the relations of capital and labor so that they shall cC- operate for each others welfare and the common good of the people at large? How can we control the vital statistics so as to abate social abuses, and protect the Christian family and home against vice and crime? How can we restrain the greed of gain which results in monopolies and trusts such as deprive the people of their natural rights and rob them of a just share of the good things of life?
 These and many more are the ques- tions of social science which concern us; for good society is the society of good, intelligent people organized ac- ness, and the laws of nature.

SIMPLICITY OF THE NEW POPE

The two Sartc sisters, says London
Truth, who kept house for the Pope
at Venice, will come to live near him in
a convent in Rome, but not as nuns.
He has not spoiled them by worldiness.
They kept no servants, hired no fac
chino to bring home what marketing
they wanted, never appeared in his pa
triarchial gondola, and were lauded by
their neighbors as simple, pious, charit-
able women. Another sister is wife of
an innkeeper in her native village. One
of the Pope's two brothers is a cara
bineer and the other the postmaster
of a district in which he served as let
ter carrier for twenty years.
We should not jump to the conclu-
sion that the Pope is vulgar and his
family dreadful people. English folk
born and reared in such lowly condi-
tons would be. The Anglo Saxons are
the youngest children of European civ
ilization, and have not yet had time
and opportunity to throw off the dross
of barbarism. Italian civilization has
it's roots almost in prehistoric times,
for history knows little of the Etru-
rians. Modern Italy has always in
various ways kept up high standard
of culture. If her robe in the Renais-
sance was bloodstained, it was of mag
nificent brocade, and she valued the

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
Current Shows Tendency to Bifurcatfon Aft.
or Striking

Anent the article in your issue of
May 80, under the heading, "A man
Who Was Struck by Lightning and
Lives" CHS clothes torn into shreds),
I would say says a writer to the
Scientific American, that some fifty and
years ago 1 was witness to the fact
that one Polette of St. Michael de Bel
lechasse, P. O., and then about eighty
years Of age, while in kneeling atti-
tude in the little chapel of Saint Anne,
about a quarter of a mile eastward
of the parish church, was struck by
lightning, with the effect that while
he was only dazed for a while by the
stroke his clothes were torn asunder
all along his backbone from neck to
base of trunk, where the lightning
bifurcated, and thence following the
marrow along each of his legs finally
escaped through the heel Of his boots.
This tendency to bifucation of the
current, from trunk to limbs, when,
as in the human system, the nerves
of the legs exert an equal pull upon
the central column, is further illustrat-
ed by the fact that at Peoria, Ill.,, an
Individual, struck by lightning and
who was otherwise uninjured, except
by being for a moment dazed, as in
the case of old Polette, found that the
electric fluid, after traversing his ner-
vous system from head to foot, or,
rather, feet, had finally passed out of
the soles of his boots. Again, as in
the Polette case, the fact was evil
denced by two tiny holes, one in each
sole, through which the fluid had tun-
neled for itself an exit.
Some twenty years ago the apex of
