of the civil governor of the Philippines
and the reports of the heads of the eX-

Governor Taft says the year was one
of much suffering among the people of
the Philippines, on account of short

the future as bright as IL might be, he
believes we are beginning an era in the

A ROYAL BOOK BUYER.
The Purchase of Diderot's Library
by Catherine III. of Russia.

Empress Catherine II. of Russia was
a great reader and lover of books.
One of her services to letters in Russia
was the purchase of the libraries Of
Voltaire and Diderot. She was a warm
friend and admirer of these French
philosophers, and their work interested
her because she was eager to learn new
theories of politics and government.
Voltaire's library of about 1000 vol.
umes is now a part of the Russian i'm
perial library in the Hermitage palace,
and in the hall devoted to it is Hou-
don's statue of Yoltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase of
ereditable to her tact and her generos-
ity. Diderot named G15,000 as the
price of his library. Catherine H. of
fered him E16,000 and named as Il CON
dition of the bargain that her purchase
should remain with Diderot until his
death. Thus Diderot, without leaving
Paris, became GATHERINGS librarian In
his own library. As her librarian he
was given a yearly salary of f1,000.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her IL
brary suffer through the negligence Of
a treasurer's clerk and that she should
send him the sum that she had set
aside for the care and increase of her
library for fifty years. At the end of
that period she would make new ar
