St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-07-30

immensely popular of late years, and
people who, ten years ago. probably
did not know the names Of their great
grandparents, and possibly cared less,
are today porting over old directories,
genealogies, town histories and the
like, in efforts to search up a distin.
guished ancestry.
One would also be surprised at the
large number of people who resort to
the library reading room to spend
their evenings reading works on hyp-
notism, table rapping, theosophy and
kindred subjects. The interest in
such matters is intense and far-reach-
ing, and despite the advanced state OF
learning and science 1t is astonishing
to witness the large number of those
who every evening call for works on
the subjects aforementioned.
The Congressional library, like all
institutions of considerable age, has
quite number of old patrons, per-
sons who have called regularly every
evening for the past 20 or 80 years.
Some of them have been coming to
the library for period which extends
beyond the memory Of many of the
oldest employees and librarians. One
man has called every day for the past
20 years to spend several hours daily
reading poetry. He never reads any
thing else, this being his hobby. An
other old-timer has made the subject
of mushrooms his hobby and reads
everything printed on the subject.
Those who come to prime themselves
full of hasty, ready-made information
for papers, speeches, addresses, ETC.,
are always in evidence. Some Of the
heaviest reading Is done by young
Japanese and Chinese students, who
are making the very best of their op-
portunities. Next the works on spiri-
tualism, ETC., the number Of books
that are read on sociology, social
questions, criminology, the trust prob
lens, ETC., is astonishingly great. The
interest In such things has been on
the increase for the past several years
and shows no evidence Of waning.
Minors under the age of sixteen are
not allowed in the reading room, and it
has long been the policy of the H.
brarian of congress to assist young
readers between the ages of sixteen
and twentysone to a class of good
reading matter. The librarians do all
in their power to increase the use
fulness Of the library as an education
al institution by giving advice, sug-
gestions and information, to the end
of encouraging desire among young
readers for the best and most instruc-
tive class of solid reading matter.
While standing near the desk OF the
reading room one day the writer saw
a little lad Just sixteen years of age
hand in a card for Plato's Republic"
This happened at the close of great
rush on the part Of large number
of young readers for cheap juvenile
fiction. The little fellow did not have
his card made out quite right, but the
librarian attended to that for him with
evident pleasure, putting himself to
no small pains to see that the young
ster was supplied in short order and
with the right translation. When .
boy shows a taste for such literature
there is some hope for him, and he
can always rest assured Of receiving
every attention at the disposal Of the
library and its force.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress

me to try a certain medical college.
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint.
ment began to see signs OF improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled on twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now l can say that he is
entirely cured. and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam
