The Librarians of the Middle Ages.
From Harper's Magazine.


The librarian was sworn into Office on the
holy gospels as became one whose duty it
Is to furnish to those who have need the
food and weapons of the soui-for so
they used to call books. Books are the
nourishment OF the soul" Gays one abbot.
speaking OF the library of his convent; and
another says, las the armory Is to the cas-
tie. the library is to a monastery" The
very name librarian. 'armarius.' derived as
II Is from the press. cupboard or almeric
in which the books are kept. is precisely the
modern word almoner-as the alnoner
serves from his cupboard food and drink
for the needy so the librarian deals out
books. which are the food and drink of
the soul.
In the beginning the librarian was. Curl
ously enough as 1t sounds at first, the pre-
centor or choir master. but the exp,ana-
tion of this is. in fact. simple enough; since
the first books were the service books kept
in the apse-cupboard In the church the
precentor was naturally charged with their
care and when the collection grew by the
addition of other books he kept charge
until the growth made subdivision of labor
necessary.
The ordinary duties Of Librarians are often
laid down wit great minuteness In the
monastic rules. they differ greatly In de-
tail. but not much in essence from those
books. keep and know under their sepa-
rate titles" frequently examine carefully
to prevent damage from damp. dust. mice
and moth worms" and repair them when
damaged. He must lend books to the
brethren. enter each loan carefully in his
register. and see that sufficient deposit Is
left for It's return, or proper bond given.

Here they are sold in glass jars by Swed-

They are served as a sauce with meats and

Where True Heroism Is Found.

Prof. William James OF Harvard Uni

he was questioning with himself whether

the very moment. he looked from the car
window and suddenly got sight of a num-
Der of workmen performing some task on
the dizzy ledge OF an iron construction at

his mind a sense of the everyday bravery

day OF battle and In desperate adventures
but also in building every bridge. or in the
ordinary y-by-day service of the world

What Herculaneum Offers to Arch
aeology.

Prof Charles WaldsteIn, in Harper's Magazine.
The city Of Herculaneum contained
many splendid villas. and herein it differed
from Pompeii. Pompeii was a common
place provincial town, devoted exclusively
to commerce: it was not the resort of
wealthy and cultured Romans 1t was
essentially illiterate. No manuscript can
be proved to have been found there. 1t
is true wax tablet with writing has been
found; yet this contains-receipts of auc-
lions. Herculaneura, on the other hand.
was the fayorite resort of wealthy Ro-
mans, who built beautiful villas there,
as in our times people from modern Rome
settle for the summer at Sorrento and
Castellamare. We have reason to believe
that the Balbi, Agrippina, Servilia, the
mother of Brutus and mistress of Caesar
Ptso and many others had their Villas at
Herculaneum. Not all these prominent
Romans were specialists and their houses
must have contained libraries with the
standard works Of classic literature--fhe
poems OF Sapho. the whole works OF Me-
nander. the missing tragedies OF Aeschylus
and Soph0cles and Euripides the lost
books OF Ivy, and perhaps notes bearing
upon the earliest periods and the origin Of
Christianity. The prospect Is 80 vast and

fragments, and. above all. entire legs of q
pair of trousers that the great man had
worn. The thriftiest Scot might be tempted
by a genuine button from Bobbie Burns
breeks. And SO the Partisan who told his
concierge, three years ago, that he had ac-
quired a genuine Victor Hugo pair for 80
francs has been doing very well ever since.
Buttons were sold to worshipers at a
franc a head: pieces of cloth at prices ac-
cording to size. and whole legs at 100 francs.
Unfortunately, an expert with memory at
last revealed the fact that Victor Hugo
did not wear trousers with large checks
worthy of the stage Englishman, such as
these appeared to have been. Two or three
people also compared notes, and found that
each of them had a whole right leg Now.
Victor Hugo was not Manxman. as other
great writers are. Nor did he wear 800
pairs of trousers-the total sold by the
business-lfke Partisan. according to his con-
cierge. In consequence. tourists may now
pick up Victor Hugo trouser buttons and
whole legs dirt cheap.

Hope Of Furthering Self-Education.

While the press bears dispatches Of the
ever-fresh disasters which the Russians
suffer at the hands of their little brown
enemies, while the nations watch with
anxious interest the ever-growing evidences
of strife and disorder within the czars
domain-there comes from st. Petersburg
news that cheers with its optimistic indica-
ton of sanity and hope in the breast OF at
least one of that disaster-ridden people.
Count Tolstoi, the apostle of reform and
peace for Russia, has taken another step
looking to the education Of the ignorant
masses and has opened in St. Petersburg.
with branches throughout the country,
stores to supply the schools OF the poor
people with books at the cost of manufac-

means to do more, TOlstoi has perfected

large sums Of money he has donated, VIII
place In the hands Of the utterly ignorant
peasants the first rudiments Of that educa-
ton which can effect their uplifting. 1t Is

a grand old man. Had Russia few more
Tolstois and few less Won Piehyes she
might not today be cutting an abject figure

New York Swedes Home Loving and
Too Scattered to Support Them.
From the New York Sun.
Few Swedish restaurants flourish in New
York. The many thousand Swedes In tie
city are widely scattered in little colonies
throughout all of the boroughs, and few of
these little groups are able to support a
restaurant devoted especially to their ma
tive cooking.
Brooklyn has lorg had a considerable
Swedish population. and the best known
and most distinctive Swedish restaurant is
in that borough. Elsewhere there are
Swedes who keep restaurants. and some of
these serve on occasion characteristic Swe-
dish dishes, but they find it necessary to
conform to ordinary public demands in the
matter OF cooking. One Swede who has a
restaurant centrally situated in Manhat-
tan entertains many of his fellow coun-
trymen, but serves for the most part. just
such dishes as one gets in a hundred other
restaurants all over town.
One reason Why II is difdcult to keep dis
tincttvely Swedish restaurants going in
