I know something about the circula-
ton of books, said Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle recently. | know what millionaires
read, what bankers read, what states
men read, what authors and artists
read, what clergymen and college pro-
fessors read what the cultured women
of the country read. The Bookloyers
delivers to the homes of these people
over 6,D00 900 books year, n good deal
more than half current fiction. The In
fuence is simply appalling, but 1t Is
good influence. These people represent
largely the strenuous life Of the coun-
try. They are the men and the women
who are making the country, its brains,
its sinews, its genius, its motive power.
They can be trusted with new book.
They can do their own testing in other
things. and why not in literature? Why
should not the people who patronize
public libraries have the same privi-
lege?
The public library is gradually ceas-
ing to be a circulating library and Is
rapidly talking its place among educa-
tional institutions Of the academic type.
The leading spirits among the librari-
ans are college men whose whole point
Of view is educational and encyclOpe-
die. All thought and all knowledge and
all fact are being tabulated and card
indexed. The card index idea has be-
come q library craze.

Browning and Carlyle.

1t is interesting to imagine the sem
sations OF the fanatical Browningites
who were forced to listen to Sir Ed
ward Clarke's recent address on Eng
lish literature. Robert Browning, he
declared, was the Carlyle Of poetry,
and he could only hope that two-thirds
of what he wrote might be forgotten.
Carlyle tried TO debase English as
much as he could possibly do; yet his
lives Of Schiller and Sterling were
written in as pure and beautiful Eng
lish as could be found. But Frederick
the Great was a calamity to English
literature. In the same way Robert
Browning wrote those delightful pieces
christmas Eve" Easter" and Men
and Women" but how he ever per-
suaded himself to write "The Red Cot
ton Nightcap Country" was mystery.
His poetry would be enjoyed for gen.
eratiOns to come-but in volumes OK
extracts, not by those who attempted
to read the volume Of his works.-New
York Tribune.

Bind Masseurs.

"a brand ne occupation for The blind
and one in Z hich they will excel the
seeing is beginning to be taught in the
asylums," said physician in the Z. !
adelphia Record. This is the occul
ton Of the masseur. The blind, W
their delicate sense Of touch and with
their soft, supple hands, take to mas
sage as a duck takes to water. Mas
sage you see, doesn't require eyesight,
for the masseur's busy hands hide from
him what he is doing. 1t requires just
those qualities that in the blind are de-
veloped to an excess, an ability to see,
as it were, with the fingers. l know q
blind masseur who practices in New
York. His work is a revelation. No
seeing man or woman l have ever met
could come anywhere near him. The
massage, as you know, is becoming
more and more popular daily. We are
getting more and more masseurs, and
soon, am glad to see, good proper
ton Of these men and women will be

One of the more intelligent and sue
cessful Hungarians on the east side in
New York has an original theory as to
the cause OF prosperity in the United
States. 81 say that the prosperity OF
America is due largely to its children.
In my country parents do not allow
their boys and girls to work until they
are grown. They support them and
teach them trades. Here in the United
States the children are put to work
when they are twelve or fourteen, there
by relieving their parents and adding
largely to the comforts Of home. If l
should try to carry on my business
alone, | should be unable to make ends
meet. But have the help Of my wife,
my three sons and my five daughters
The ten Of us are getting rich together.
By and by we shall divide up and all
have a snug little fortune"

MODERN NEW YORK.
Gold Works wonders In Many Places
In Gotham.


A man with an enterprise Of only
modest proportions, say, involving the
expenditure Of about $j,000,0OO, excites
very little attention in New York these
days. A week ago distinguished Cath
olic clergyman came from Toronto with
q plan to erect a cathedral that would
excel st. Sophia in magnificence and
overtop the tall dome Of st. Peters.
The aura Of this splendid dream made
New Workers blink a little, but they
took this project as matter of course.
Now once more is the "newest and
biggest" thing in the world planned for
New York, says correspondent or the
Pittsburg Dispatch. This time 1t Is
hotel. 1t is to occupy the historic site
once occupied by the old Brunswick.
which, by the way, was in its time the
biggest and grandest and finest and
everything that had ever happened.
Rubbing his eyes and trying for mo-
ment to catch up with the swift march
of events, the average New York man
discovers that the New York he knew
yesterday is a dead and buried city, as
obsolete as Herculaneum. If he on
Tuesday turned in at doorway which
on Monday had opened to him its hos
pitable arms, he stumbles Oh the ruins

very likely blown sky high into the
rafters Of another new skyscraper or
whose very existence he has never
heard.
From this eminence he looks down
upon a city wrapped in devastating
cloud Of soft coal smoke and gasps,
"Is this New York; 1t is not-at
least it is not the New York Of New
Workers Where only the day before
yesterday stood an ancient city, the
metropolis of complacency, pleasing
and pleased with itself, is now sprawl
ed an endless, inchoate mass. At ev-
cry corner something is being torn
down to make room for something else,
which is to be the biggest thing on
earth.
Half dozen hotels are under way
in Manhattan and a dozen or more
theaters, every one of which is to make
new record for size and splendor.
What is to be the end? Already the
Waldorf Astoria is a mere roadhouse,
the Metropolitan Opera House a roost
for owls. Delmonicos and Sherry's are
coffee stands. All belong to the dingy
past Of day before yesterday, and New
York lives in the atmosphere of day
after tomorrow

Some OF the editors are preaching
sermons to the parents OF the state
about making the home happy so as
to keep the children in nights and
out of mischief. Most parents have
their hands quite full with the BUSH
ness Of obtaining the home and pro-
viding for the expense OF running il.
They have no time or strength left
with which to entertain and divert
the youthful fancy. In such cases a
trusty strap or even a slipper, welded
by a judicious hand, win be found a
satisfactory substitute. The children
of today do not lack the pleasures oflife
half as much as they do proper disci-

Parents fail to perform their fun
duty when they provide and maintain
a home for their children, and the
deficit is not wholly made mp by
welding the strap. Such parents
were better childless, and such chill
dren were better parentless.
