ington, and the New York Public Lib
rary have more than million each.
Foreign libraries have even more. The Biblio-
theque National, of France, has 100000; the
British Museum has 2,O0O,000; and the Imperial
Library, of St. Petersburg, has 100000. Some
of these institutions have collections of manu-
scripts, but nearly all of the volumes mentioned
above are products of the printingpress.
But however wonderfully these vast treasures
of knowledge may appear, they sink back into the
commonplace when we read of the Libraries that
were accumulated by the ancients. When we
consider that every volume in Of those ancient
libraries were carefully written by hand, we are
fairly staggered by the fact that the Aexandrian
than seven hundred thousand volumes, two CEN
turies before the birth of Christ
All preceding collections of which we have
any record are eclipsed by the Alexandrian Lib
rary, founded by Ptolemy Softer, B. c. 290. 1t
was designed by him for the use of an academy
Of his institution, and was contained in the
Bruchion, where were 400, 900 volumes; to which
Philadelphus added the library in the
Serapeum, which was augmented until it num-
bered 100000 volumes; making the Alexandrian
Library to consist of 10000 volumes
The Alexandrian Library was often plundered,
but maintained its bulk by new accessions until
A. d. $40, when it barbarously destroyed by
the Saracens by order of the Calf Omar.
This. noble collection, which had now num-
bered nine hundred and thirty years since its
foundation by Ptolemy Softer, was distributed
among the four thousand baths of Alexandria,
and supplied them with fuel for six months.

AN AIR OF REsTFULNEss.

Porch furniture comes next. Roomy rockers,
low chairs, and at least one round table with a
shelf underneath give the porch air of practical
restfuness not to be obtained otherwise. One
of the most delightful porchcs ever saw had a
great double seated green reed swng-like sofa
hung up-suspended at one end The cords, Of
course, were fastened to the ceiling. and IL took

It is said that to dry the hair very
rapidly after a shampoo nothing is better than
to rub eau de cologne or pure spirits Of wine into
the scalp, and then brush or shake the locks
about in the air.
The use of cornmeal bags in the bath is very
good for the skin. Use thin cloth and fill them
two-thrds full of bran, oatmeal, or cornmeal,
bits of toilet soap, and a small quantity of pow
dered orris root
An excellent lotion for bunions to be applied
with camel's hair pencil every day, is made
of two drains of glycerin, two drains Of carbolic
acid, and two drains of tincture of iodine. Ten
der feet simply ruin persons sweet disposition,
but 1 think you will find bathing them every
night in warm salt water and changing your
stockings every morning will help, this condi-
ton. Or they may be bathed in camphorated
oil.
This exercise will reduce the size of the hips.
1t is said to be excellent: Lie extended on the
floor, supporting yourself by one hand while the
other is placed upon the hip. While holding this
position raise the body gradually from the floor
until the whole weight is supported by the hand
and feet. 1t is comparatively easy to- get the
body from the floor as far as the knees, but to
bring it up to the full extent just described is not
easy at first. 1t should be tried first on one side
and then on the other.
To prevent falling tresses have the ends of
your hair singed or trimmed carefully, give it a
thorough shampooing and commence treatment
with the following tonic, rubbing it well into the
scalp with the tips of the fingers with little
wheel-like movements: Tincture of nux vomica,
one ounce; spirits of rosemary, two ounces; aco-
hol, two ounces Apply several times a week
to the roots of the hair.
A good curling fluid is made of three teaspoon
fuls of ounce seeds to pint of hot water Pour
the water the seeds, allowing the whole
to stand for several hours. This muncilage may
be thnned with water or cologne, and few
drops of violet or any other essence may be add
ed. Use about two tablespoonfus of cologne for
this mixture You may moisten the hair with

is provided with one or more small
- "smmering" burners; to use the ordi-
HsyW nary burners for two hours stew
is sheer waste Of gas.
If you are convinced that the gas
range is used wastefully and unnecessarily at
times when the kitchen fire would do all that
is required (supposing that the gas range is
merely an extra convenience) have the pipe con-
hsctine it with the meter provided with a key,
and keep the key under your own eye. This does
not mean you are to grudge your servant the use
of ito do so would cause her to leave at once
but she is much less likely to use the gas
range to excess il she has to ask for the key
each time.
II there is a constant smell of burning when
cooking is going on examine the burners-they
are probably filled with sediment from boil
overs" of yesterday. This especially applies to
the woman who keeps her gas range in the back
kitchen, for unless that is an unusually light
place. it is difficult to see sufficiently well to
keep the burners perfectly clean.
For the woman whose troubles arise from the
odor of cooking, the remedy lies in having a
small nine between the range and the chimney
to carry off the odorous gases. large bowl
of water placed near will also help to prevent
odors of cooking penetrating the house.
The smell of gas when rubber tube is used
(no leak being apparently is usually caused by the
tube itself having become saturated with gas
New tubing is the only remedy.
The lighting of the burners is a very simple
matter if properly understood. Turn on the gas
for six full seconds before applying the match;
this permits the air to escape from the pipe and
makes the burner show clear blue flame from
the first. If white flame appears on first
lighting, turn off the gas Immediately and try
again The dull roaring sound means the gas
fame has leaped back inside the supply pipe
When having the gas range put in be sure to
see that the supply pipe is large enough to allow
sufficient gas to enable all the burners to be
used at the same time. This is very necessary
it is annoying to discover you can't boil two
kettles when the oven is in use. See also that
the oven is large and commodious and that
there is plenty of room on the top for boiling,
irving. etc. It is poor economy to use gas
range that is too SMALL
These are simple enough remedies certainly,
hut one can't expect one woman to know every
thing, and these suggestions may help.

1t mas come TO pc generany recog-
nized that a change of administration
always involves a change in policy
which hinders permanent advance
ment in any department of school
work. Frequent changes are detri-
mental to the schools. Mr.. Cotton has
begun work along definite lines and
Is only asking now for time to carry
II out. He is pleased to submit his
record to careful scrutiny. Educators
throughout the entire state support
his claim that a longer period than
four years is necessary for carrying
out any well-defned plan of education.
Three terms cover a period OF six
years only, which is not long tenure,
broken as 1t is by two campaigns.
Mr.. Cotton's thorough equipment
for the position is commencing him
to people generally. He has had ex-
perience in every phase Of school
work as student, teacher and officer.
AS student his work was done in the
district school. township high school,
Spiceland academy, State Normal,
Butler College and University of Chi
cago. He was a teacher in district,
town and city schools. Ee was super
intendent Of He county six years
and deputy sta superintendent six
years. BY reas"l Of this long and
varied experience he is in close sym.
pathy with the duties of his Office
From Butler he received B. A. degree
from the University OF Chicago the
Phi. B. degree, afterward meeting the
requirements for his Masters degree
