museum legend of one reader who, in the interests of fair page, went care fully over certain of Coleridge's mar ginalia with india rubber, and removed eV cry mark. We are wise nowadays, and a correspondent of the "Times" gives an account of a collection which has lately been presented to the Lon
 don Library, whose chief interest for the majority of readers will consist in thA fact that it formerly belonged to Leslie Stephen, who has scrubbed freely over the margins. The books six hundred in number-are chiefly concerned with the English Deists, and every volume is either annotated with marginal notes in Stephens handwrit
 ing or adorned with tiny pencil draw ings of heads of animals, such as cats, monkeys dogs, fishes, rabbits. and so forth. The most interesting of these volumes is apparently copy of Hob bess "Historia Ecclesiastica,' 166sS, on the flyleaf of which three successive owners have noted their opinion of the books in philosophical Latin. The first, who is identified is a good guess with Robert Mars. the philologer, did not thing highly of HObbes's book, which he summarized as "a work so barbarous in style, so confused and obscure in argument, that it neither can be understood nor is worth while understanding. I have not read it through" he naively adds, nor shall do so." The next owenr of the book was Robert Southey, who disagreed with his predecessor. But l have read it through" he said, mot without profit, and indeed certain pleasure. | do not regret reading it through. The book is eminently characteristic of Hobbes. alike in the acuteness of it's reasoning and the harshness of its yer sification. 'To this Stephen added: "I. too. have read it through, and entire ly agree with Southey's opinoin. Hob besii nihil a me alienum putO." Though we may deprecate the general practice of anOtating books, it cannot be denied that in this case a consider able interest is added to a volume that few modern readers would tackle without some inducement.

GOLDEN MARGINAlIA.
Some ScribbIings in Books Which
 Were Not Resented.

We have all been taught in our childhood that it is wrong to deface books by scribbling in them but as we grow up We learn that there are not able exceptions to this rule Coleridge, for instance, was a chartered libertine. quite different from the people who, as Macaulay said when he made Croker so furious by comparing his annOta- tions to theirs, disfigure the margins of novels from the circulating libraries with How True," or Cursed prosy," Lamb tells us that it was worth while lending books to Coleridge, who re- turned them with usury. enriched with annotations tripling their value. Many are these precious manuscripts of his added Lamb, "Gn matter oftentimes, and almost inlquantity not unfrequent- ly, wing with the originally in no very clerkly hand legible in my Daniel in old Burton, in Sir Thomas Browne and those abstruser cogitations of the Greville, now, alas, wandering in began lands. I counsel thee, stYt not thy heart, nor thy library, against s. T. e. Coleridge was aware of the value which his friends-and, for that matter. pOsterity-wOuld set upon these scribbled annotations of his In Lambs Beaumont and E'letcher-the folio which gave Ella and Bridget so much careful calculation of ways and means before it could be carried home in triumph-he wrote: "N. B.-I shall not be long here, Charles. I gone, you will not mind my having spoiled a book in order to leave a relic" In an- other book. which is now the treasure of an American collector, he wrote q shall die soon, my dear Charles Lamb. and then you will not be vexed that have scrubbed your book"

 THE EVENING REVIVAL MEETING.
 Dr. Henry was at his best when he faced an audience which overflowed all the space in the Central Methodist church. Standing room only was available at half past seven. The pre- Jude dealt forcibly and without gloves with the licensed saloon. The sub ject of the sermon was, "Why I Am a Christian" Dr. Henry said that he would speak out of his own personal experience. Very briefly his reasons were as follows: 'I am a Christian first. because l am to live forever Second, because l am a sinner and Jesus only is able to deliver from sin. Third, l desire to have the very best character for my models. The character of Jesus is peerless. Fourth, desire to be associated with the best people in the world. Fifth, because an hol oiiN SlHAtI, Dut SulleieI' The moral risk of not being a Chris tian is too great"
 This evening at 7:3O o'clock Dr. Henry will speak for fifteen minutes on Saloons or Churches: Which ?" The, sermon subject will be "A Great Man Who Lost His Grip"
 The large chorus filled every availa- ble chair on the platform and added greatly to the power of the service.

loads that Kill Dogs.

A large poisonous marine toad which kills cats and dogs is overrunning Bermuda and American scientists are about to start a systematic study of the pest to discover some means to ex- tricate it, says the New York Tribune. A big shipment of live specimens ar rived in New York from Bermuda re- gently and was taken in charge by Prof. Charles l.. Bristol. director of the New York university's biological station on Whites Island, Bermuda. who will have charge of the scientific study. The toads will be studied in Prof Bristors laboratory at the univer- sity. He collected them in Bermuda himself.
 According to Prof. Bristol, this toad, the Bufoagua, was imported into the colony some years ago from the Guianas by a sea captain, who thought it would destroy noxious insects. In stead of accomplishing this beneficial result. the tOads multiplying rapidly, are now common pest-like the mOn- goose in Jamaica. This toad is a hideous amphibian, much larger than any in this country. But in addition to its unpleasant appearance it possess espoison glands on the back of its neck. secreting sufficient venom to kill any small animal which tries to bit it. Many valuable cats and doge that have playfully chased the toads have become inoculated with the poi son and have died.
 This poison is similar in action to the curari, with which South Ameri-
 
 and so paralyze their game. The toad venom paralyzes tfL nerve centers or muscles, and so kills the. infected ani- nal. A few human beings also have been careless enough to get this poison in their eyes. with a resulting severe inflammation and a permanent disfig- uring swelling.
 The habits of this toad have been under observation for some years and the recent growth of the pest has de- termined the New York university bi- olOgists to make a thorough study of the animals habits. The lateness of the season this year was fortunate for this purpose as it enabled the univer sity station to obtain specimens in all stages of growth.
 The specimens brought to New York  are carefully caged and guarded from escape into the local territory. The scientists will devote particular ar tention to the development of the poi son glands and also make complete antlysis of the structure of the toad in its various stages. In this way it | is hoped that data will be obtained, which when put into use, will check their rapid increase and so finally ex- tirpate them from the island. To aid him in this work, pr. Bristol hopes soon to secure an endowment which will enable the university to erect and
 operate a much larger station and ac- l quarium.
 | The scientific investigation of the
 flora and fauna of Bermuda, of which
 the toad study is an outgrowth, was begun as far back as 1897, when Prof
 Bristol visited the island with a party of students, and spent six weeks col
 lecting and studying animal life of the
 sea.

A GUN PLAY,

Night before last a Mexican re- ported to Nightwatchman Easterwood that a fellow countryman had beat him up with a gun. His appearance indicated that something had happened to him for his face was covered with blood. one hand was out of commission and he was otherwise dilapidated. He offered to show the officer his assail- ant and an investigation was made. The man was found in East Tempe and he still had the gun on his person. He was promptly jailed and will be given a hearing today.
