Gently observed. This celebrated library
was founded by st. Charles Borromeo.
Archbishop Of Milan. 1t was then a
library of $1,000 volumes; but to-day 1t
contains 10000 volumes. He placed in
1t a remarkable collection of goddess and
palimpsests. and also many works Of art
OF great value. He had agents. friends.
and assistants in all parts of the world,
who were on the lookout for treasures to
enrich the collection. These, once de-
posted In the Ambrosiana, were guarded
with the utmost vigilance.
Speaking of libraries, the fact has been
brought out, relative to a certain dis
cussion about old books. that the library
OF ST. Francis Xavier's Church at Vim

Church. contains some of the Oldest and
most valuable books in Indiana and VI
