IN MEMORY OF JOHN HAY
University Library Gift OF Friends.

Providence, July 12-"To my mind
John Hay is the finest flower OF our
civilization" the late President Nc
Kinley once said. Thousands Of Amer
leans who came into personal contact
with the distinguished literary man
and statesman whose death was re-
GREETED a short time ago shared that
feeling. To hundreds of thousands of
other Americans who have forgotten
neither Mr. Hays achievements in
the public service nor his literary
masterpieces-for what school boy
has not detained Jim Bludso' or
Little Brooches" Fit is nee sssarily
of interest that an enduring memorial
is about to be erected through the
gifts of some twenty-five gentlemen,
friends of Mr.. Hay and his Alma
Mater. These friends had already sub
scribed $4,000 when Mr. Andrew
Carnegie subscribed $4,000 more,
and the memorial will soon he erect
ed.
Very appropriately this memorial
will take the form of university Ii
brary, the plans for which have just
been accepted by the corporation of
Brown University. Honor will thus
be done not only TO an individual but
to the general conception of the res
possibility of the educated man IN q
democracy. Mr.. Hay throughout ms
long and useful career was always a
scholar, in the productive, not in the
pedantic sense. Literature he follow
ed professionally only as ne con-
scientiously could. His interest in pub
lie affairs and his sense of the duties
of citizenship were such as to pre-
vent his devoting all his energies 70

WHO POSED FOR OUR COINS?

The question is often asked: Who
was the original model" reference
being to the feminine face en- some
very old or some very recent coin. In
the MAJ. there have existed but few
originals Of any of these coin Inca
ments and the reason is simple:
Coin designers very rarely use a
model. Excepting in cases where alb
solute portraiture is demanded, as
in the coinage of European coun-
tries with its likeness of reigning
monarches, the heads to be found on
coins, both ancient and modern, are
mere fancies Of the designer, idealized
femininity typifying some such SEN
timent as liberty, equality, industry
and the like.
On our own coins of every denomin-
alton, for century and half, only
pear. These are Martha Washington,
Lady Hamilton and the young Irish
woman of New Jersey who posed for
the new st. Gauden's double eagle.
But even in this last instance the
features are not altogether those of
the model: indeed no artist engaged
upon an ideal work ever portrays the
model as she exactly is for something
of spiritual quality must go into the
making of every artistic idealization.
Examine all our American coins bear

led lady of 1892 (which after all is

problem was TO provide accommoda-
lions for 200 readers, 100000 volumes,
rooms for various special libraries
and for study. and for the different
branches Of the library administra-
ton.
The requirements have been full
filled in accordance with the modern
idea in planning libraries and mu-
seums OF inviting the public to make
use of the treasures of literature and
art. There was a time when a librar-
ian of Harvard college announced
with satisfaction on a Saturday after
noon that every book but one was
back on the shelves and that he was
sending a messenger for that one.
The newer point of view is 20 make
the literary collections as accessible
as possible. 1t viii be noticed that
in the John Hay library the rooms
visited by most users of the library
are on the first floor. Practically all
the rooms open to the public, in fact,
except the large exhibition room, are
on this floor. The administration Of
the building is conferred on the YER
teal series OF rooms of which the
catalogues room is midway, and
these rooms are connected with one
another and with the stack by lift
and by stairs The stack will contain
some 250.0O0 volumes, and $4,000 vol
umes will be contained in other parts
of the library, Ii is expected that
pneumatic cleaning will be installed
throughout the building. The depart
ment libraries will be accommodated
in the old building, which win COM
municate with the new and thus make
available to readers in either build

Effect of Water, Wine, Beer and Whisky

The general drinking of ardent spir-
its is unquestionab1y a curse. 1t
causes many diseases, and it fills pos
terity with dipsomaniacs, mur1erers,
idiots and other kinds Of degenerates.
The evils of excessive drinking have
brought even the moderate indulg-
ences of temperate men into disre-
pute. The cry now is, not temperance
but prohibition. Yet moderate drink
iag of light zines or of ''nut'brown
ale" is not harmful, and it is often
beneficial. When one is worn out and
really needs stimulant, a mug or
two of ale. or pint Of claret, may be
drunk without any narcotic effect But

powerful stimulation of whiskey, and

No one should drin any alco-
holic liquid whatsoever during the
day; but at night. when the energies
are tagged, a moderate quantity of

drunk during or after dinner. When
mental labor has to be done in the
evening, however, very little of any
kind of stimulant should be INDUCED
in.
It is said that wine. and especially
matted drinks, stupefy the brain.
Probably they do; at all events they
sometimes make one sleepy. But is
