the origin of the customs of yelling
Of women, burial of the dead, religious
ceremonials and rites, etc.
The population of Tunis was given
as 10000 Moslems or Arabs, $4,000 ma
tive Jews, 10000 Italians. $4,000 French
and several thousand Maltese. Among
the most attractive of the pictures
were types of these varied inhabit-
ants showing ten or more representa-
tive individuals, each with his or her
popularity of dress and racial char
acteristics.
The ancient city of Carthage was
also described with enough of its
history to bring up wildly the old

More Room the Great Lack.
Mr.. Trumbull continues:
There is but little to add to this re-
port unless it be the frequently re-
peated statement of the wants and &C
tual needs of the library. Among
these. more shelf room, involving more
money, becomes more and more appar-
ent. and / might say insistent, as time
goes on. BY the continued exercise of
rigid economy the expenses have been
kept at the same low level as for the
past six years. This state of things
must necessarily continue If the libra

demands which have been made upon
it during that period.

Religious Rites Carried to Frenzy.
At Kairowan, Mr.. Johnson was priv
LEGGED to visit the interior of one of
the mosques and to watch the full
progress of religious rite which takes
place every Friday afternoon through
out the year Here the Religious fren-
zy is carried so far that the devotees
even swallow scorpions, snakes and
glass, and allow themselves to be
pierced with rapiers or swords. The
description was most realistic and the
audience was intensely interested in
every word.
other ancient cities visited were
Ell Diem, Roman town of over one
million inhabitants in the second cen
fury; Gabes, one of the largest GASES
in northern Africa; Gafsa, very rich
town ON account of it's great phos-
phate mines; Matmata, the home of
the Troglodytes This peculiar peo-
pie are cave jewellers. who live in
great holes in the earth. in order to
be cool in summer and in winter free
from the winds. At some very ancient
time these people dwelt in caves on
the tops of the hills, but have since
gone down in the valleys and built
their homes in caves around one great
hole in the ground. whichfis approach
ed by tunnels from some distance.
From so to $50 people live in one of
these holes in the earth and there are
about 5000 inhabitants in the chief
town.
The lecture closed with MANY very
interesting views of the Sahara
desert, with great stretches of sand
large caravans of camels, groups of
Bedouin wanderers. GASES, some with
400 600 palm trees and covering an
area of 1900 acres.
Additional Pictures Shown at Request
of Audience.
AFR Johnson is to be congratula ted
on this unique collection of views and
experiences and the ability to describe
them in a most entertaining fashion,
says Gloucester exchange. At the
close of the lecture the people were
loath to leave, and even after half the
audience had departed upon urgent
request the lights We're again turned
off for the showing of some pictures,
which had been omitted to save time.
A most entertaining bit of the many
pleasures of the occasion was the priv
ilege which Mr.. Johnson gave the au-
dience of viewing closely an antique
Phoenician ring dug UP in his pres
ence near Carthage in the process of
the excavation now going on under
the white Fathers or "Peres Blancs'
of st. Louis on the site of ancient
Carthage.

President Aiken's Statement
In his report to the citizens of Nor
wich President William A. Aiken says:
Recent personal visits to public libra
ries in the state of Massachusetts, con-
firm my long entertained opinion that
our circulation of books in your homes
is much larger than that of the aver
age free public. library. in proportion
either to the population within the
area of circulation the number of
books in the library, or its financial
resources.
Sound Financial Condition.
The treasurer's report shows d sound
condition of the finances. All the assets
of the library are productive of regular
income through judicious investment
and watchful care. The note indebted
ness, made necessary by the incidental
expense of making the library free to
all. has been steadily reduced and
within the next three years will be en-
tirely eXpunged if the town appropria-
ton as at present is continued.
However none of the money app1fo-
priated by the town has been or will be
used in the cancellation of this indebt-
edness, which is paid entirely from the
income of invested funds. thus leaving
the town appropriation applicable only
and always to the current expenses
Wide Circulation.
One feature of the librarians report
is worthy of special note. viz, that the
circulation of books in your homes has
never but once been as large as this
year: the previous year slightly ex-
ceedad it. But the decrease approx
mately corresponds to reduced circula-
ton of fiction, accompanied by an in
crease in that of more solid reading
tendency 10y no means unsatisfactory.
More Space Imperative.
