One Source of News.

For many years a certain New. York paper received society and club gossip from man whose identity was con ceaied by clever ruse. Even his checks were made out to his wife in her maiden name. He furnished in formation about the doings and wran- gles in various clubs-Iittle stories in volving people whose names are known by reputation to practically a' readers of newspaper columns. He is said thus to have averaged an income of about S1O a week-not much. E1. enough to buy hats, gloves and cane, He was a most immaculate and ;p. parently prosperous person. It is needless to say that he has never been suspected of this small traffic \ wealthy relative died and left him in dependent. When some such man furnishes the clew to a delectable scandal he has done a stroke of busi- ness that will keep him in small lux urics for months to come.-Whitmar Bennett in Bohemian.

Queer Positions os Hearts.

There is one curious fact which Hs= everybody notices about the common
 finger-long. green catorpillars C. =''' larger moths. Their hearts, instead o. being ill front, are at the back of tAa body and extend along the entira length of the animal. One can see the heart distinctly through the thin sI:in and can watch it's slow beat, which starts at the tail and moves forward to the head. Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncom- mon in the simpler creatures. The earthworm has one, and so have most worms, caterpillars and other era wiling things. Hearts in the middle of the back also are quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to be the natural place Many animals, the lob ster for example, and the crayfish and the crab, WEich have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds, never theless have them placed just under the shell in what, in ourselves. would be the small of the back.-St Nicholas.

CARNEGIE
NAMES TERMS
Upon Which He viii Give Ten
Thousand Dollars for a
Library Building
A SITE MUST Be ARRANGED FOR
And $1,000 a Year Guaranteed
for Maintenance

The Ethical Culture club, which has
in charge the campaign for the build
ing of a Carnegie library for Brook
ings, has received the following def.
mite proposition from Mr.. Carnegie:
That the city council, by resolution,
provide ST. 900 yearly for maintenance
and furnish the building site and
when this is done Mr.. Carnegie has
Sic, 900 for the building.
This is about the same proposition
accepted by other cities which have
the libraries, and there seems to be
no good reason why it cannot be
readily accepted by Brookings. The
matter will be presented to the city
council at its next regular meeting,
and while it is not known what their
action will be, it is presumed that
they will wait until something is done
toward securing the building site.
Way and means will undoubtedly be
found to remove this obstacle from
the path, and from ali indications
Brookings will have Carnegie library
within the next year.
