By way of excuse for summoning the no.

fact that "the oppressive heat of the sum-

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
CITY Observation-Disclosures
CAL AND RELIGIOUS BOOKS.

The District Public Library has recently
received requests from several other large
municipal Libraries for copies of the 1904
District directory. In making their request
these libraries have always offered in ex-
change the 1904 directories of their home
cities The calls for the directories OF
the principal cities of the country are so
numerous that 1t is greatly to be desired
to make such exchanges. II Is not ordi-
narily practicable with the library's lin
tied funds, to purchase the directories Of
other cities, and certainly not their latest
directories. However. in most cases the
next to the last directory will answer every
purpose. In order to make these exchanges
friends of the library who can spare their
last years local directories are asked to
give them to the library. If desired the
library will send for copies offered.
An information desk has been established
in the entrance hall of the library. with an
assistant In charge, who Is to act as read

slant inquiries at the return and issue desks
for general information about the library,

of rotation, which is the only method by
which all the resources of the library can
be displayed on open shelves. these SUBJ
jects will now be retired and works on
philosophy and religion substituted for the
scientific books. while foreign literature
will be represented by works in French.
Although these books are all grouped un-
der the broad headings of philosophy, re-
full to mention a few of the subdivisions
which occur In these main classes. They
comprehend books on psychology, logic,
ethics, theology. history of religions, folk
lore, religions of different races and coun-
tries, Bible study, Bible criticism, lives of

THE FAIR MAID OF GRAHSTONES. BY
Reulah Marie Dix. author of The
Making of Christopher Ferringham.
&c New York: The Macmillan Com
pany.
Miss Dix has closely studied the cavalier
roundhead period. as her past performa noes
attest. out of the abundance OF her re-
search and sympathy she now produces a
story which. while not intimately related
to the contest between the kings men"
and the parliamentarians. owes its chief
situations to that great schism. A young
lOyalist. gentleman volunteer. Is taken
prisoner when Colchester. long besieged by
the roundheads. surrenders. With his COM
panlonS lie Is confined In a church and there
fights a mighty bout with guard who has
brutally kicked a wounded man. 1t is not
until Jock Hertherington has Knocked his
man out with a skul-cracking blow that he
discovers that he has championed his worst
enemy. an elder cousin of the same name.
AT critical moment arrives a messenger
asking for the dying cousin. To save him
self from probable death young Jock pre-
sents himself as the wanted man and there
upon becomes involved in an intricate pri-
waite intrigue.

tempered spirit. His essay is plea for
that dissertation of the man and his works
which Wilde's literary admirers have since
his death been urging upon the reading pub
lie. A bit Of subtlety occurs in this pas
sage, following a comment upon the cir
cumstances of Wainwright's punishment:
There is something dramatic in the
fact that this heavy punishment was infiict-
ed on him for what. If we remember hS
fatal influence on the prose of modern
journalism, was certainly not the worst OF
all his sins
The other essays in this collection are ad-
mirable examples of Wildes cunning OF
phrase making. his keenness of observa-
ton and his general pose toward all the
elements of life.

Russia has lost her railroad from

they have won an honorable and q

which is or very soon will be epoch

victory, it was snatched fron. s..s..-
by the civilized bullies of Europe.
Individuals can be inglorious and con-
temptible, but nations can outdo
them; and if Russia is now bitterly
expiating her share in the iirfamy
that was then visited upon Japan she
is only reaping as she has sown and
as she richly deserves. We need
hardly observe that chapter in history
will never be repeated, not even If all
the Powers sought TO participate in It.
I'VE hope now for peace. and a
lasting peace There has been moth

sea or by land, not even excepting
Stoessel's glorious resistance at Port
Arthur, which leads us TO believe that
her further resistance TO the arms of
Japan can be seriously or usefully
