The first annual institute for librarians
of the state of Vermont was held in
Burlington from July to 3, inclusive. An
instructor. Miss Harriet r. Peck, of Glov-
ersville, n. Y, and class of 40 librar-
ians from all parts of the state, composed
the institute, which was held under the
direction of the state commission. The
success of the institution was marked.
The librarians profited by their technical
instruction and formed many pleasant as
sociations which afford the hope that a
similar institute may be held in the coming
year with an even larger attendance. A
spirit of enthusiasm was displayed at this
institute which gives ground for the be-
lief that the public libraries of Vermont
will gain greatly during the coming year.

Return to Old Conditions.

BY reconstructing the old domestic
hand loom for use with power a weav-
er near Chemnitz has opened the way
for a considerable return to textile
manufacture in the home, not only in
Saxony, but in other localities where
electricity provides cheap power on a
small scale. The new loom is built al
most entirely Of wood 1t requires a
space of 1919 feet in length, seven
feet in width and ~ feet in height;
weighs $500 pounds and one-halt
horsepower is sufficient to run it. The
jacquard apparatus has been ingeni'
ously applied so as to make unneces'
sary the ordinary heavy lifting box.
This household machine is very quiet
in operation, sells at $50, or about one
fourth the price of an iron mechanical
loom, and the cost of weaving in the
early experiments has been less than
half of that with the factory loom. II
is to be adapted soon for weaving
manifold thread instead of the singie
thread OF the first model.

the woman he has waited years to
wed had dice while crossing the
ocean to join him in the home he
had made for both.
The girl, Priscilla Hcwison, OF
White Haven, England, was stricken
with peritonitis soon after the ship
sailed. So rough was the sea that
the ships surgeon found it impossi-

Great Britain, made up a liberal

brought to New York for b'-!al.
