CARNEGIE MAY GIVE us
A FREE LIBRARY BUILDING

space. 1t has fine property where its
building is located, and it has consid-
erable endowment, but it has neither
the means to erect larger building
nor sufficient endowment to maintain
greatly increased library.
Ordinarily Mr.. Carnegie, where he
contributes to a public library, gives
ten times as much as the community is
willing to devote annually to the free
public library. But in the present in
stance, it is hoped that he can. be in
duced to give more than this. If the
present Library Association were to
sell it's present library property and
combine the returns with its endow-
ment, it could have nearly 100000
for an endowment fund, which of itself
would be a good start. With liberal
appropriations for the support and
maintenance of the library itself, and
with say 100000 for building from
Mr.. Carnegie, public library of which
the community might well be proud
could be established.
With such building in prospect the
question of site is one that is of
Importance. The Capitol grounds
where the bungalow now stands has
been suggested. A building located
there would correspond in location with
the Archives building on the Waikiki
side of the grounds. The building
would be architecturally handsome and
entirely suitable to the site. 1t would
be easily accessible from all street car
lines 1t would be in harmony with the
Charles Mulford Robinson plan for the
Identification of the city.
1t begins to look as though a worthy
public library was within measurable
distance of realization.

HALF-TRAINED SERVANT.
The Right and Wrong Way TO wash
Glass

There are right and wrong methods of
washing glass which makes all the differ
ence where its brittleness is concerned. a
common mistake being that of rinsing
several pieces OF glass together in one
basin, too hot water being poured on the
top. and the fact ignored that after re-

repeated dipping In warm water. a thor

TO lay folded cloth at the bottom of the
basin in which she washes up china or
glass. while If tuEblers and carafes are
placed 10 dry on another cloth folded in

COIN IN ITS DECADRNCE
Tickets Rapidly Taking the Place
Of Real Money.
Use of Credit Appliances Is Carried
Much Further in England Than
in the United States.

Attention has been called to the grow
ing tendency 70 get along without money
IN the actual transactions Of everyday
life In Washington. for example. a per
son may supply himself with street car
tickets for which he may pay a check.
I hese viii provide him with transporta-
ton about the city for month. He may
procure a meal ticket az restaurant
which viii enable him TO get Lis food
without the use Of any money for a
week or more.
He is provided with tickets on the steam
railroads for a long journey from home.
and If he goes abroad the letter OF credit
does service largely in supplying him with
funds for necessary expenses
In fact, the use OF the representative
Of money is al the time being brought
more and more into use, and it appears
that in England the practice has been
carried further than in this country. if
the testimony of a press writer from Lon
don is 10 be believed He says that a
notor-cab company there has installed
the practice Of issuing books of tickets. so
that the posSessor can at any time sum
mon one OF the company CdDS, ride as
far as he likes. and pay 50 many coupons
for the registered number Of miles which
he can read. How the practice has spread
in other directions this correspondent sets
forth as follows:
Even now II is possible 10 ride in
trains. tubes. and tramways with cOu-
pons or season tickets: 10 pay hotel bills
with coupons. 20 have an announcement al
a barber's shop. In Soho there are cer-
tain restaurants where customers can pay
50 much a month for daily lunch or din

adjustments in London. on the south
