rich, but never glaring. and always in

text Perhaps the most striking fact IS
of the wonderful way in which they used
gold In the initial letters. All the missals
in the library have illuminated rubrics
and initials throughout, and the original
bindings were usually oak boards covered
with ornamental embossed calf. A later
Illuminated work is De Relacion de Los

doza, a Spanish narrative reciting the
rites and ceremonies Of the Indians OF
Mechuacan province, Mexico. The Illus
tratlons in this are somewhat crude and
lack the good taste Of the missal. II
must have been difficult for the artist
to conceive the forms and faces Of his
subjects. for they certainly are unlike
any Indians to be seen In this generation

of the priest, Hidalgo. whose devotion,

Republic Is Esta blished.
The last viceroy was deposed from

Iturblde, the establishment of the Re.

reign of Macmillan. another revolution,
and then the election of the present great
ruler. Porfirio Diaz, whose administration
of more than quarter OF a century has
been the most peaceful and progressive
Mexico has ever known. In these long
years of Diaz's reign he has looked to
the future, and, anticipating the time
when he must lay aside the cares OF OF

It seems to the unbiased observer that
the Library Of Congress has its fame sim
ply through its superb decorations. The
thousands who yearly flow in a wonderful
food through its bronze doors do not, as
a rule, see the real treasures Of the Ii
brary. They wander through the corri-
doris. study their guide books with COM
mendable zeal for the understanding Of
! the paintings and emblems on the walls,
visit the reading-rooms and stare with
| species Of inane curiosity at the throng
! Of readers enjoying the uneXcelled facili-
1 ties of this home Of the nations thought.
| The marble staircase is admired, but
/ few find their way TO the copyright Office,
| the department which is the primal pur
pose of the building, and not one in twen-
| " ever visits the manuscript division,
| where a collection as fine as any In
America is 10 be found.
The manuscript room is purposely located
out of the ordinary way of travel Admis-
sion to il is quite informal, however, and
under easy but careful surveillance of the
| attendants, may be handled the priceless
papers and books that represent the best
thought of this and past ages. The room
may be reached through the map divi-
sion, or by means OF the main reading
room, and hence through the auditing
rooms and the catsloguing and repair
department.
Kept in SteeI-lined Safes.
The manuscripts and books are kept IN
steel-lined safes with combination locks.
also in steel-lined cases, cabinets, and
filing drawers. The reader is supplied
with large tables and book rests, where
the heavy missals and other large vol
unes may rest without wearing out the
patience and firing the arm of the stu
dent. There are more than 5000 pieces
OF manuscript and 1900 volumes depos.
tied in the Library at the present time.
! During the past year thousands of ac-
questions have been made TO the division.
Among the highly valued documents is a
gift from the Hon. W. W. Rockhill of a
Chinese manuscript entitled THE Mirror
OF the Army Storehouse or Palace" a
song in sixteen sections by Ting-Huai. 1t
is beautifully engrossed on heavy pink
paper, folded in screen-shaped folds. and
each page is surrounded by an ornamen-
tai border, and the whole is incased in
a green brOcsded satin cover.
How MSS. Is Repaired.
/ Many or the Garner manuscripts are
so worn as to be impossible of use with
out repair. This branch OF the work is
important for it achieves the double good
of preserving the papers and keeps their
in such repair that the public can handle
them without damage or detriment. The
mode Of repair is quite difficult but is
generally successful. Two employees CT
the government are regularly detailed
for the purpose and are constantly al
work. The process OF repair is as fol
lows:
The first stage is TO dampen the paper
so the creases and turned edges mas
be smoothed cut. Next, the manuscript
is dried and placed between heavy boards
and submitted TO heavy pressure. The
original roughness. is prevented by this
process. The paper is generally kept
between the boards for : period OF
