Russian Lady of Title Who Pur-
chased the Libraries of Vol
taire and Diderot.

Empress Catherine II. of Russia was
says the Philadelphia Ledger. One
of her services to letters in Russia
was the purchase of the libraries Of
Voltaire and Diderot. She was warm
friend and admirer of these French
philosophers, and their work interest
ed her, because she was eager to learn
new theories of politics and govern
ment. Voltaire's library of about
1000 volumes is now a part of the
Russian imperial library in the Her
mitage palace, and in the hall devoted
to it is Houdons statue of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase of
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t
is creditable to her tact and her gen
erosity. Diderot named 915,0GO as the
price OF his library. Catherine II.
offered him $4,000, and named as a
condition Of the bargain that her pur-
chase should remain with Diderot I'm
til his death.
THUS Diderot, without leaving Paris,
became GATHERINGS librarian in his
own library. AS her librarian he was
given yearly salary of $1,000. One
year this salary was paid. Then
Catherine wrote to her librarian that
she could not have him or her library
suffer through the negligence of a
treasurers clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set
aside for the care and increase of her
library for so years. AT the end of
that period she would make new ar
rangements. A check for 425,000 ac-
cOmpanied the letter.

How to Seal Letters

1t is often very desirable to know
how to seal a letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact
Steam or hot water will open enyel-
opes closed with mucilage and even a
wafer A hot iron spirit lamp dis
solves the sealing wax, an impression
In plaster having been taken of the
seal BY the combined use of wafer
and sealing wax, however, all attempts
to open the letter otherwise than by
force can be frustrated. All that is
necessary Is to close the letter first
with small moist wafer and to pierce
the latter with a coarse needle 1.-THE
same applies to mucilage), whereupon
sealing wax may be used In the usual
manner. This seal can neither be
opened by dry heat nor by moisture

SCHOOL Boards may now establish
trade schools in Wisconsin. A law to
that effect has been adopted by the leg
islature. The law provides that the
school board of any city of Wisconsin
may inaugurate such school by giving
legal publication, and if no demand is
made for referendum to the people,
the board can proceed to establish such
a school and make a special assessment
of not over a half mill. If the question
is referred to vote of the people then the
school viii depend on the outcome of
the vote so taker at special election
The school shall not be maintained
unless it has an enrolment of thirty
scholars. Wausau public schools have
their manual training and now if the
people want it they can have the
trade school and the boys may be
taught trades and become skilled work
men without being obliged to go away
from their homes. Today, there are no
better equipped schools in Wisconsin
than are in our city. Those who so
desire may be taught in all the CONNER
cial branches, become expert Steno.
graphers and typewriters and book
keepers, experts in handling tools, etc.
Now IT the trade schools become q part
OF our educational system, there is
opportunity for every boy or girl of our
city 10 secure advantages that will be
of lasting benefit to them.

Co EmnloYa Act.

The new co-employe act which was
recently passed by the state legislature,
went into effect yesterday. 1t provides
that railroad companies shall be liable
for all injuries, whether resulting in
death or not, sustained by employees
sabject to the provisions of the act re-
garding contributary negligence on the
part of the employee, and covers defects

In every action under this law the
following questions shall be submitted

the person injured guilty of negligence
directly contributing to the injurys
IF answered in the affirmative, was
the person injured guilty of any negli-
genca which directly contributed to the

If answered in the affirmative: Was
the negligence of the party so injured
slighter or greater as contributing
cause to the injury than that of the
company or any other officer, agent,

A wards in Beauty Quest.

Next Sunday, July z, The Milwaukee
Sentinel will announce the final awards
made by the judges in the American
Beauty Quest which has engaged the
attention of the readers of twenty seven
metropolitan newspapers of the country
during recent months Handsome half
tone portraits of the young women
honored by the judges will be published
as well as sketches and personal. de-
scriptions of the subjects Since the
result of the Wisconsin quest was made
known, comparisons have been made
from week to week by the people of
Wisconsin between Miss Gabrielle
Worsley, declared the most beautiful
woman in this state, and the women
who have won the honors elsewhere
No little qualification was felt over the
fact that WiscOnsin's representative
was among the six whose portraits were
published June 80, and from whom the
judges will select the one most beanti-
beautiful women selected from so many
thousands is in itself an honor, and one
which the people of Wisconsin fully
appreciate. How Wisconsin will fare
in the final superintendent of awards
remains to be seen, and interest is
naturally aroused to high pitch.
Another point of special interest is the
outcome of the challenge issued by The
Sentinel to the Chicago Tribune, after
the latter had made the claim that Della
Carson, the most beautiful woman in
Chicago, surpassed in charms any other
woman in America. Out of this chal
lenge the American beauty quest de
veloped, but there is still a great ard
natural interest as to which of these two
women excels the other. As both APP
pear in the group of six selected as the
best among the twenty seven first prize
winners of the various states, the ques-
ton can not be determined until the
detailed decision of the judges is made
known. This will be officially an
nounced next SUNDAY, as Web as the
order of the first five awards in the
national quest.

LEGITIMATE DEMAND.
DUE ENTIRELY TO CREED
And IL Feeds Upon the Prosperity
of the Country Towns-A
Menace to the
Nation.

copyrighted, 1906. by Alfred C. Clark-)
AS the years go by we are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question OF trading at home
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions % years ago were
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were "monarchs Of
all they surveyed" SO to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people We're
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
SO much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally, and received good
prices for what they had to SELL They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height OF
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1907-07-02

their ambition, hence the contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con-
tent with conditions of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being q cheap way of
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people, this plan appealed to
them and it was adopted. At first they
operated on q small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added to his adver-
Using fund And so it has continued
until to-day millions of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people Of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermost III the minds or
country merchants for several years
past; some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building up his own
locality. He realizes the fact that if
his farm is to be valuable it must be
farmed in the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences, etc, must be
kept up In the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that farm land
brings much better price when near
to some good town or village 1t is
not hard TO get the farmer to realize
this, for II he ever sold any farm land
or tried to sell any, he knows this to
be fact. Well, then, after he has
to do is to patronize his home mer-
cheats and business men, so they may
BE able to build and maintain good
town.
Public schools are much better In
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population is
most dense, there Is more taxable
property to the amount of territory
covered, hence there is more money
collected for school purposes, and as
q result more and better teachers are
employed. All this is of the highest
Importance to the farmer, as most
farmers who are of any importance in
ing their boys and girls good educa

AT the regular meeting of the Mer-
chants association, held last evening, q
letter written seven years ago by the
late Justice G.. V. Bardeen was read, in
which he earnestly recommended that
a market day be established in Wausau.
The letter is published in another
column of today's issue of the PILOT.
The merchants took action and APP
pointed committee of i've to formu-
late plans and report at the next regu-
lar meeting. Wausau needs the estab-
lishment of such a day when the farm
ers of our county can come in and sell
anything they have and secure their
cash therefor. This question has been
talked about and discussed for many
years Mr. Bardeen saw the need of it,
especially when he had an opportunity
to witness the good results produced
by having such a day in Madison Let
those who have now taken hold of the
question in earnest, see that regular
market day is established here, and
every citizen should work for the sue
cess of the plan, for it will add much
TO the future of our city and county.

FROM BRAIN TO BRAIN.
Hint of the Possibilities Of Communi-
eating Ideas Without the
Aid Of Signs.

A scientific writer looks forward to
the time when ideas will be conveyed
from brain to brain without writing,
speaking, or other mechanical proc
esses, says Cassel's
He points out that writing and
speaking are simply methods by which
we signal thoughts one to another, in
what is really slow and tedious
fashion compared with the speed Of
thought itself.
Experiments have shown that by
concentrating the mind upon some OBJ
Ject for time q man of clear ideas
can, in some cases, impress more or
less definite record of his thought upon
the brain of another.
Here, then, is hint Of the posi-
bilities of the future, when the hui
man brain, being more advanced than
it now is, communication will be large
ly carried on by telepathy-a sort of
wireless telegraphy between minds
