Talk of New Grounds.

With the Country club entering up
on its last season in the present quar-
te-s there has been considerable talk
during the past few months relative
to new grounds, and it can be readily
seen that steps will be taken at the
meeting Monday night for the pur-
pose of Investigating desirable and
accessible locations. President Saw
yer was of the opinion Saturday that
a committee would be appointed to
take this matter in hand, with view
to Immediately financing such pur-
chase as could be made Already sew
eral active members OF the club have
made trips into the nearby country
and consulted land owners. The re-
ports received thus far are very fay-
orable and members nave little aDpre-
hension regarding the situation. There
are several sites not far from the
present golf course that are desira-
BILE, while there are number of acres
well up the river that could be OBJ
tanned, but members concede that it Is
too far distant. However, the fact that
new grounds will haze to be obtained
will give the new board considerable
work during the comii,S season, as it
is planned to have the 1911 season fol
low the 1910 season without delay
that might be occaSioled in this mat
ter For this reason many of the pre-
liminary arrangements will be taken
care of during the present year, and
by the present board or special com
mittee.

The annual report of the city
librarian was presented to the council
at its last meeting. The whole report
goes to show that the library is APP
preciated more then ever by our citi-
Zens. There were 10 1913 volumes
loaned for home use during the year
ending July 81, 1910. or these Z, 325
were taken by adults and 3,OO3 by
children. At the end of the year
there were 1, 100 borrowers OF which
97G were adults There were CSC
volumes added to the library last year
making total of 2, TAG books on the
shelves. The receipts during the year
were 81, 428. SO and balance was left
on hand at the time the report was
made out of 1886. 40. A large part of
the library's income is collected in
fines for books kept longer than the
rules allow The total amount of the
fines collected last year was $32. 66.

titled to great deal of credit for the
prompt manner in which acted under

Jondou's Chinatown.

New York is not the only great
city outside of China itself which can
boast a Chinatown of its own.
Within twenty minutes of the
Bank of England are to be found
narrow lanes and alleys that for pic
turesqueness and oriental character
are almost equal TO the streets of the
land of the yellow man" itself.
Limhouse is the home of John
Chinaman in London. There, with
in stones throw of the great docks,
are to be found rows of narrow
streets containing small but clean
shops, over which are to be read
such names as Wah-hup, w. Shing,
Ahon, and Lum Gut Wah, supple
mented by quaint inscriptions u
Chinese characters which, beinC in .er
preted read thus: Prosperity by
honesty" and Righteous prosperity"
are the notices of the occupants -

The Kniser,s Rhinoceros.

The Emperor Menelik's present to
the kaiser of a rhinoceros and a lion
is gift with much precedent to
support it. Shortly after her acces-
sion to the throne Queen Victoria
received from the Sultan of Morocco
a lioness, a leopard, pair of ostrich
es, and a pair of gazelles, duly de-
posted in Regents Park. Apart,
moreover, from their personal gifts
TO each other, the soverigns of many
countries have contributed from
time to time to the public and pri-
vate collections in Great Britain. To
the menagerie which formerly stood
on the site OF the National Gallery
the Duke of York presented a Wild
cat from Bangalore. the King of
Ashantee a leopard, and William ~.
an emu. To the gardens at Regents
Park the English royal family has
always been an abundant contributor,
in addition to the rulers for the
time being of Russia, Italy, Portugal,
Egypt, and other countries,-Dundee

A Story OF Fires.

Figures collected by the Ilternat
ional Society of State and Municipa,
Building Commissioners and Inspect
ors show that every week, on an
average, fires in the United States
burn up three theatres, three public
halls, twelve churches, ten schools,
two hospitals, two asylums, two "col.
leges," six apartment houses, three
department stores, two jails, twenty
six NOTES.-THE fires at seashore re-
sorts this summer will raise the hotel
average-140 fiat" houses, and H.
600 single dwelling houses. Such a
record of waste is bad, but it is not
surprising in a land of wooden build
ings. Moreover, many of the build
ings destroyed would nave been torn
down if they had not burned. A
countryman who suffered from a
slight fire said he had lost two houses
and three barns if you counted the
dog houses, the chicken house, and
the COW shed. In such lists as the
foregoing a house is house, be it
ever so worthless, and a college
may call itself so even If it occupies
but three rooms and does most of its
business by mail.-The Youths Com
panion.
