Dangers In Circulating Libraries.

X foreign medical journal has been publishing facts about the dissemina tion of disease through books from public libraries It is, of course, iapos sible for librarians to ascertain whe>e books have been or to know the condi- tions of families into which they go. X large number of books were examined and were found to contain the bacilli of pneumonia, diphtheria and many other sorts, some of which were harm less. Even new books fresh from the publishers hands were found to con- tain germs. There are very many per sons who practice wetting the fingers with the lips or tongue when turning the pages of books. This is an exceed ingly dangerous thing to do, not only to the person who does 1t, but to all others who may use the book after ward, especially if the person so doing has any form of disease ill the system. Invalids of all kinds are likely to be great readers, and the consumptive or those suffering with cancer may un- willingly deposit on the pages of the volumes they peruse the deadly germs of their own malady

tinue to resist the demand for govern
ment absolutely based upon the will OF
the people. The revolutionary move
ment must continue until they surren-
der that delusion.
Our effort hitherto has been to
force further concessions before the
Donna, which satisfies no body, can
meet. The government is attempting
by means of a mixture of force and
cajolery to keep itself alive until the
meeting of the Douma. But we do
not want to have German conditions
reproduced here. We want an abso-
lutely free government. That can only
be achieved if the people frame the
government themselves. For that rer~
son | reject the Douma and every
other concession granted by the Car
dom, and demand a constituent as
sembly which will make its own con-
stitution for the whole empire.
The real question before Russia to-
dav is whether she herself or the
frightened remnant of the old govern
ment is to frame the political and so
cial conditions of the future. AS
things at present stand, the old re-
cime is to conduct its own funeral;
that is to say, we are to have Douma
Tor Parliament granted from above,
with powers limited by the Emperor.
The franchise is limited; the Douma's
powers are limited; it is grant to
misery
"A useful Douma is therefore an
impossibility
Absolutely. l am convinced that
until the convoking of constituent
assembly has set the seal upon the
peoples triumph there will be no
peace. You must admit that Russia,
classifying all the predictions OF reac-
tionaries here and abroad. has quail
fed for it. In action the extremist of
our revolutionists have shown re-
straint. There has been no class war;
