Don't Like the Plan.

There is quite a good deal of unfa-
vorabIe comment heard, upon the meth
Cd of circulating the books of the
public library among the patrons of the
institution in an irregular way. and if
the practice is true, it hardly gives a
square deal to all. A popular book will
be taken out in the regular way, 1t is
said. and then exchanged between the
friends of the one procuring the book
without consulting the librarian or the
patrons OF the institution, who obtain
their books as ordered. The practice,
while not harmful. is irregular and
hardly gives the patrons an equal
chance of obtaining the fiction of the
day.

he saw herd of seals off the coast of
Crete-a sight which he had never seen
before or since. The situation was
delicate, but 1t was STAYED by the
chairman. who rose Immediately to
express the thanks of the meeting to
the admiral for his interesting rem

Of a pile of stones near the water

awhile and then pushed out some
thing on the water, which proved to
be bunch of moss. The wind took
1t into the middle of the lake and

surface. Having watched his venture
for perhaps ten minutes with appar-

neared the ducks without arousing
their suspicious, our friend began to
collect another and larger bunch of
moss, which he allowed to float in the
same direction, but this time he swan
behind it, taking care to show only his
eyes and nose above water. Just as
it was passing the group of ducks he
made a sudden dive, pulled down a
bird and swan back to shore under
water. Arrived there he carried the
duck to the pile Of heather, where his
wife and daughter were no doubt
waiting to enjoy the fruits of his la
