An unsociai Pedant.

At Trinity, Cambridge, the great Dr. Whewell was the incarnation of masterful unsociability," says MT. Tollemache in his "reminiscences. A Trinity friend told me in the fftfes that WheWelrs evening parties went by the name of 'perpendiculars' be cause the undergraduates were expect cd to remain standing all the time though he himself sat down whenever he chose. It is also related that, being shortsighted. he inspected each man in turn at unpleasant1y close quarters, and it was high crime for any one to speak until he was spoken to. On one occasion under the trying scrutiny an unwary freshman remarked that the weather was fine. Sir replied the pedant, are you not aware that if you have any communication to make to the master of your college you should make it through your tutor3'"

 Well, can show you about the same in the Post,'' said MT. Dubois.

 Following this the board went into executive session. and will arrive at a conclusion later

Studying tne Crowd.
 There doesn't seem to be any diff ference between a crowded train in the morning and a crowded train at night, does t1ere?'' queried a subway traveller of his companion. tfBut l could distinguish one from the other even if I had no fdea of the hours.''
 'tAsk the guard ?''
 .'No. All you need to do is to meas ure the buzz of conversation. Tn the morning, when the crowd is fresh and on the way to business. the conversa- tion is at least ten times in volume what 1t is at night, when the crowd is tired and on the way home. Often times at night I've been in q crowded car for ten minutes without hearing sound save the rattle of newspapers and an occasional cough. That same crowd in the morning would be full of dialogue, punctuated here and there with laughter.

What's the use OF a public library"
This address is to be given under the
auspices of the Library Alliance, OF
which Hoyt Post ia chairman, an or
ganization formed to work for the
erection OF a new and larger library
and the extension OF library work.
This lecture will be illustrated by
lantern slides showing the libraries
and library conditions in other cities
as compared with Detroit. One pur-
pose OF the lecture is to combat mis-
conceptions regarding the mission of
a library.
A pamphlet just Issued by the Ii
brary Alliance Is aimed to Offset the
arguments that a public library dis
seminates only fiction. II is shown
that in 1908 the adult fiction circu-
lated was 53.66 per cent OF the total
circulation and the Juvenile fiction
1879 per cent. The circulation OF the
school libraries was more than one
fourth az great as that OF the central
