A French woman who is a lover of
books and is willing to spend money
to see them preserved offered prize
two years ago for the best work on
the insects that injure them and the
best way of discriminating the pests.
The prize has just been awarded
to G. V. Houlbert, whose essay, it is
said, is the best that was ever writ
ten on the subject. He finds that
there are sixty species Of insects that
injure books, the worst being the
minute specimen called the anobium

THE sNoWBALLING pAsTIME.

With the coming Of the snow, even in limited
quantities. there will be general recurrence Of
snowballing. Men and boys win throw snowballs at
each other and as is the case every year, some one
will be badly injured. Discussion Of the subject,
then is not untimely.
As is the ease of every other question of public
import there are two sides to this snowballing prop
osition. The men and boys who delight in the pas
time cling to the opinion that ii is only little recre
alton. They believe there is no harm in it and mar
vel at the complaint offered by others. They enter
enthusiastically into the play, and quite naturally
believe that every one else should feel the same way
about it. Those who are opposed to promiscuous
snowbalng do not fancy being struck with the hard
ened balls of ice and spow. When they 90 upon the
street they nervous, fearful always that we'll
directed SNOWFALL may spend its force on the neck
or perhaps the eye. Some men do not like to have
guns pointed at them even if the guns aren loaded
and for similar reason some men do not like to be
made targets for snowballs hurled by reckless en-
thusiasts
Generally speaking promiscuous spowbang is bad
business It's all right for those who enjoy it, but
unfortunately for the rest of u.s. they do not confne
their attention to those who seem to entertain k.
ing for the sport All is fish that comes to their nets
and all pelted alike Last winter several Astor-
ans were quite severely injured by snowballs. One
gentleman was struck by missile and injured sol
severely that he was compelled to remain at his home
for a week o. 10 days; another young man was
struck on the head and knocked down Both gen

became SO general that one actually took chance

are sending into other lands nearly $5000000 worth

but It'll significant fact that American ships carry
less than per cent of exports and inmorts The
tribute paid to foreign ships for conveying mer-
ehandse to and from the United States amounted to
over $100,0000OO last year. Our country is fore
most in all lines of industrial and commercial de-
velopment but it is tagging behind even the smaller
foreign nations in its merchant marine The patri-
otc pride and the commercial instinct of our people
suggest the improvement of our feet commensurate
with our commercial needs.
Without committing ourselves to any definite
plan, we urge upon congress the commercial neces

The American people are not slow, but to the con-
jtrary, are the best developers in the world. They
perhaps have not gone into the shipbuldng business

for their money We hav can idea the Topeka club
is sending out its circular in the interests of the ship

subsidy would help matters to any material extent
