THE ANNiHILATioN OF DIS
TANCE.

How much nearer to each other the
nations OF the world are today than
they were few decades ago. When
weeks and months were required to
get news from across the ocean the
old world seemed to be a long way
on. Now the whole earth is belted
with telegraph and cable lines, and
yesterdays happenings in Europe.
Asia, Africa, South America, Aus
tralla and the islands of the sea are
read at this mornings breakfast ia
Die. Distance is annihilated and the
nations are becoming friendly neigh
DORIS In consequence. The marvellous
change is brought home to the mind
most strikingly upon reading a great
modern newspaper whose telegraphic
news covers the whole world each
dsy-a paper such as the Chicago
which has a yeritable
army OF correspondents in every i'm
portant city. In addition to its own
stan correspondents the Record-Her-
ala mas the benefit of the foreign
news service of the New York Her
aid, famous for its world wide cable
system and for the reliability of its
foreign news; also that of the New
iorK World and the New York Jour
nal OF commerce, besides that great
co operative news gathering organiza-
tioh' the Associated Press.

new uniforms are all made by Amer

be valuable acquisition to the IL

by keeping a standing order with
the big book houses. When it be-
comes known that such collection
is being made doubtless some friend
of the library will present some book
of this kind which he or she may
have to the institution, and perhaps
someone else will donate a little mon
ey to be used in helping to gather
such a collection.
this class it would be interesting to
gather a collection OF another class,
composed OF books of any sort written
by home people. Such list as this
would necessarily be small at first.
but it would grow as time went on
and the country turned out more au
thors.
very old and rare set of works
bearing on the history of the south
west was bought in Chicago few
days ago by the Albuquerque library.
The author of the works is Antonio
do Herrera, the historian of New
Spain" The title of the work in full
is 1.-THE General History of the Con

the Best Accounts the People Could
Give of Their Antiquities, Collected
From the Original Relations Sent to

The set was obtained for $40, and
1t is doubtful II it could be purchased
at all from the buyer. There are a
few other copies in existance, but
those that can be purchased have yet
to be located.
Here is partial list of books that
would come under the class mention,
ed above:

DON'T BRUSH CLOTHES
IN LIVING ROOMS

The use of the clothes brush in the
living rooms of a house Is emphati-
cally denounced In the current issue
of the Lancet as dangerous practice,
likely to lead to disease and death.
1.-The Imagination does not require
to be stretched very far to realize
that the clothes brush might be cas-
lily responsible for the dissemination
of disease" says the expert journal.
Dust is rarely, II ever, free from
heterogeneous, and among them
pathogenic entities have been recog-
nized.
"Dust is, in fact, an enemy of the
human race, a vehicle of disease, and
should everywhere and on every oc-
casion, however trifling, be prevented
as far as means can be employed to
that end.
Clothes, of course, must be brush
ed, just as carpets must be beaten,
but both processes create a nuisance
which is different not in kind but only
| in degree. Just, therefore, as there
are grounds reserved for the beating
| of carpets, remote, as they should be,
| from human habitation, so also ought
there to be in a household conducted
on hygienic lines special room rel
| egated to the brushing of clothes.
"The daily clothes have a large ca
pacity and a singular affinity for dust
which may contain the seeds of a
common cold or a sore throat, or even
of blood poisoning and tetanus, so
that the suggestion that the clothes
brush should be handled in a less in
discriminate way than is usually the
case can hardly be regarded as
chimerical"
