Ancient Rome's Libraries.-The
libraries of ancient Rome were i'm
mense and splendid. Lucullus.
whose name is associated with table
luxuries, expended much of his wealth
on books. His library, says Plutarch,
had walks, galleries and cabinets
open to all visitors" Julius Caesar
proposed to open this library definitely
to the public.
How were these vast libraries, in
addition to the book shops, filled?
With his trained staff of readers and
transcribers, a publisher could turn
out an edition of any work at very
cheap rates, and almost at a moments
notice. There was no initial expense
Of typesetting before a single copy
could be produced, no ruinous extras
in the shape of printers corrections.
The manuscript came from the au-
thor; the publisher handed it over to
his slave, and if a book of modest
dimensions, the complete edition could
be ready, if necessary, within twenty
four hours. Actually, then, books were
produced and sold more easily and
quickly in ancient Rome than they are
i'm modern London.-T. P.'s London
Weekly.

Honesty Extraordinar

Honesty Extraordinary.-A traveller
writing in an Italian magazine says
that the Swiss canton of Ticino Is in
habited by the most honest folk it is
possible to imagine. In most OF the
Ticinese villages, the writer says, the
oldest inhabitants do not remember
any case of thieving,. however petty,
within a lifetime. Lost objects when
found must never be taken away; they
must be left where they were dropped
or placed in a conspicuous position so
that the rightful owner can find his
property more easily. The case is
cited of an American woman tourist
who lost her purse on an excursion in
the Val Capriasca. The purse con-
tained gold coin and a jeweled watch.
Upon returning from her trip she
found the purse with its contents in
tact on a little heap of leaves, so
placed that it could not fail to attract
her attention.-New York Sun.

tions Now at War.
The trouble between Turkey and
Italy which eliminated last Friday af'
ternoon in a declaration Of war al
Rome, dates back to 1878, when with
the making Of the treaty concluding
the Russo-Turko war, the powers are
understood to have agreed to permit
Italy a pacific penetration Of Tripo-
H." Turkey claims that this right has
been respected ever since. Italy has
colonized Tripoli until her interests In
that African province are very great
She has asserted. however, that heI
subjects have been mistreated by the
Ottoman authority and constantly dis
criminated against. Frequent disputes
have arisen but the prolonged negoti-
ations have never resulted satisfac-
torily to lily.
At the time that the Franco-Ger-
man differences regarding Morocco
were acute, Italy turned her attention
again to Tripoli and in subsequent ne
gotiations with Constantinople sci
forth that many outrages against heI
subjects had been perpetrated and fol
which no redress has been made. She
assumed a decisive attitude and pres
emily began the mobilization Of hel
army and navy.
Italy's standing army in 1901
numbered approximately 225,O00 mer
and $4,000 officers, but a far greater
number could be put in the field ir
case of necessity. The italian navy
consists in vessels commissioned, built
or building, fifteen battleships, nine
armored cruisers. seventeen unarmor-
ed cruisers and gun vessels, thirty-siS
destroyers, an equal number OF first
class torpedo boats and twenty-five
submarines. In the naval force there
are approximately $1,000 men. AS a
whole the Italian navy is generally
ranked fifth among nations. AS sea-
men the Italians are skilled and in
genuous They have constructed some
remarkable war vessels.
Naval lists show that Turkey has a
fighting strength of nine coast defense
ironclads. five protected cruisers. six
torpedo vessels. one gunboat, twenty
one torpedoboat destroyers, twenty
seven torpedoboats and two subma-
rines. AS compared with the greater
nations this array is a negligible guam
tity. The nominal strength Of the
Turkish navy is 929 officers, 10000
sailors. besides about 5000 marines.
The empire is divided into seven
army corps districts and there are two
independent divisions at Medina and
Tripoli respectively. The total fight
ing strength is close to a million men

Musselmans are liable to military SER

almost hissed. You have opened a
door for me into my enemy's strong
hold, but you must do more-much
more! You are to conquer the man

suits he has heaped upon me; you are
to make him my spoil, and yourself the
heiress of Greylock Woods. You are
to snatch away the great expectations
of Sir Gervase, the English heir; you
are to give me riches, ease, power, and
to be my obedient daughter, with no

cult, perhaps dangerous, but you can
do it, and you must!"

satisfactory.
The starting of the clover aud
alfalfa may need some special
preparation, as manuring and
sowing without a nurse crop,
aud introducing some of the
germs that live on the nodules.
Get small piece started and
that will help you get the wheat
farm in condition.
Leave it in grass 3 to 5 years.
Every year SOW more grass and
also piow up some sod. This
new land will be in fine condi-
ton to grow large crops.
BY this procedure the work
on the farm will be reduced and
the returns increased, and the
land put in much better shape
than is possible in continuous
grain growing. The work that
is saved on the hay land should
be used to give the land more
thorough tillage.
Do not delay sowing some
grasses, as the longer the land
is cropped to grain the harder
it is going to be to get tie
grasses to start.

Too Much Work.
w. G. Palmer, Agr'l Editor.

w. ~. dlucI, AYR 6ultOT.
TOO much work" is a remark
that meets one on nearly every
farm. The writer has often
heard the same 'emark at
Farmers Institutes. And es-
pecially when new methods are
advocated. It is a real serious
problem. However, it must be
faced and solved too. As long
as the land was new spreading
over large number of acres
was in many cases profitable.
That time has now passed as
the results in half farming now
too often result in crop failure
or 80 many wild oats and weeds
in the grain that it makes a
man ashamed to take them to
market. Half farming with
such results simply wastes
work. Some better method
must be worked out.
What to be done. What is the
man to do who has more land
than he can work thoroughly?
One solution is to sell a part of
it. That, however, is not what
most land holders want to do.
Another solution is to COW a
part of the land to alfalfa, Glow
er or some grass as timothy,
bromus or slender wheat grass.

THE FADING CT FRIENDSHIP.


Art thou cherished fr end, forgetting
Is time our treasured friendship cheating
Art thou, like ships the distant sea-
Fading away from ou first fond meeting?
Sweet was the music of evenings cleaning,
And sweet the strain or its mrthful tune
Dear were the scene of our hearts fond roaming
Where landscapes ling in the days of June
Beneath the shade of palm trees waving
Where roses bloom AMI the myrtle vines
We feel constant fr ,tfu craving
For the love of those our soul entwines.
Weaving wreath of thorns and flowers;
Preparing ourselves FIR furture years,
By building hopes on the golden hours
That reward hear with pensiye tears.
From crowded street. where hundreds hurry by
look to the window cbove, in vain;
Like searching for los stars in the sky
Thinking perchance she may return again.
But autumn's days ard nights pass swiftly
Drifting and drifting like sands of the sea;
Beautiful days that forever gone,
Leaving no trace of her friendship for me-
Winter winds have lashed the tall trees bare
OF the bright foliage they early bore
And leaves that laden with soft sweet air
Have drifted away to return
Little by little sever the ties
That bound together with bands of gold
Deeper and deeper between lies
The abyss of sorrow can't unfold
Fading of friendship like fading of leaves.
Teaches the story of mystry and dream
Sowing is follow'd by gath'ring of sheaves,
AS we drift adown lifes turbulent stream.
