A ROYAL BOOK BUYER.
The Purchase of Diderot's Library by
 Catherine If. of Russia

The Purchase of Dideret's Library by
 Catherine II. of Russia.
 Empress Catherine II. of Russia was a great reader and lover of books. One of her services to letters in Russia was the purchase of the libraries of Voltafre and Diderot. She was a warm friend and admirer of these French philosophers. and their work interest ed her because she was eager to learn new theories of politics and govern ment. voltaire's library of about 1000 volumes is now a part of the Rus sian imperial library in the Hermitage palace, and in the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue of voltaire.
 The story of Catherine's purchase of Diderot's library is interesting. It is creditable to her tact and her generos- ity. Diderot named $75,000 as the price of his library. Catherine II. offered him $So,OOO and named as a condition of the bargain that her purs chase should remain with Diderot until his death. Thus Diderot, without 1eav- ing Paris, became Catherine's librarian in his own library. As her librarian he was given yearly salary of $5,OOO.
 One year this salary was not paid. Then Catherine wrote to her librarian that she could not have him or her library suffer through the negligence of a treasurer's clerk and that she should send him the sum that she had set aside for the care and increase of her library for fifty years. At the end of that period she would make new arrangements. A check for $100,OO0 accompanied this letter.

If you have sore feet, tired feet, sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet, smelly feet, corns, callouses or bum ions, read what happened to Mrs. Crockett, of JeffersonvilIe. TIZ DID TT. MT. Crockett says: After the second treatment she walked down. stairs one foot at a time. She has not been able to walk downstairs before in past five years. except by stepping down on each step with one foot at a time. This is remarkable. Send five more boXes."
 No mater what ails your feet or what under heaven you have used without getting relief, just use TIZ. It's different. It acts right off It cures sore feet to stay cured. It's the only foot remedy ever made which acts on the principle of drawing out all the poisonous exudations which cause sore feet. Powders and other remedies merely clog up the pores TIZ cleans them out and keeps them clean. You will feel better the first time it's used. Use it a week and you can forget you ever had sore feet There is nothing on earth that can compare with it. TIZ is for sale at all druggists, 25c per box. or direct, if you wish, from Walter Luther Dodge & Co.,. Chicago, III.
