opr Trade With china.

Compared with our vast trade with
Europe, that with China will never be
more than drop in the bucket. The
Chinese trade is not now a dollar per
capita and it is safe to say that it
will never reach the double of that
majority The fact is that the peo-
pie are very poor. They raise barely
enough of the necessities of life TO
live on. They dwell in novels. They
have little live stock. and man is the
ordinary beast of burden. says ex-

sitication, which has been used, though
Cntailing a vast amount OF work at the
start, IS very complete and provides for a
continual expansion OF the library with no
further work than the simple cataloguing
Of The new books procured. -Four sets Of
cards have been made out-authors, titles,
subjects and juveniles and the 1000 in
the authors set have been printed by Mr..
Cloues by hand. There are about $500 OF
the title cards, 1900 of the subject cards
and 800 OF the Juveniles, all alpha beti-
cally arranged. The accession case, in
which these cards are kept, holds $1,000
and is now about dne-third full. Seven or
eight thousand Of these cards have been
written by hand, and four or five thousand
by typewriter, and, considering the
amount Of labor involved, the work has
been accomplished very expeditiously. In
a week or ten days, the library will be open
every week day except Thursday.
