BOOK MEN DING.
Miss Avis Morrison Gives An Interest
ing Demonstration.

Miss Avis Morrison, formerly of the
city library, Springfield, Mass, gave
a demonstration of book mending,
Monday morning and afternoon, in
connection with the summer library
school, now in session at the State
House.
She first gave some general instrue-
ton as to what books should be re-
paired, what ones rebound and what
ones discarded, and then repaired
books loosened from the bindings; re-
placed loose plates, signatures and
single pages; mended torn pages and
put new backs on books whose backs
were torn or missing. The class did
the actual work on each sort of books,
after Miss Morrison had finished her
demonstrations.
Ralph X. Jones, librarian of the
University of Maine at Orono, will
lecture 'at $3.50 p. NJ, Tuesday. on
Some Business Phases of the Libra
rian's Work" Mr.. Jones is an enter
tanning speaker and the management
hopes many outside the class will at
tend.
The registration at the summer
school was increased by one for the
last week, Miss Grace r. Gilkey, Dark
Harbor.

A successful salesman for hard.
ware line of goods had novel way
last season OF exciting ut least .
momentary interest In his prospective
customers In the now territory he had
been given. On entering the Office OF
his prospect his first remark was:
"Mr. Smith. We are both business
men with whom time Is money. |
only ask for three minutes OF yours.
as l can OILY give you three minutes
OF mine. Let's be sure we keep to the
limit"
Thereupon he pulled from his peck
ct quickly and placed on the desk Of
his nearer. wei, within his vision and
reach. peat little article OF the samo
shape as and patterned after the we'll.
known hour glass. but containing only
sand enough to require three minutes
for its passage from the upper TO the
lower compartment.

was engaged all day upon some i'm
portant work In my Office. and had
had no occasion to see Monsieur Bots
segur since a word or so when he
came In at ten o'clock. My attention
was called to the affair finally by his
stenographer. Monsieur Netterville,
who came to me for instructions. He
had finished the letters and the am.
bassador had not returned TO sign
them. At this point I began an in.
vestigation. Monsieur. and the further
went the more uneasy grew.
Now, Monsieur, there are only two
entrances to the embassy-the front
attendance from nine in the morning
until ten at night, and the rear door.
which can only be reached through
the kitchen. Neither OF the two men
who had been stationed Mt the front
door had seen the ambassador since
breakfast, therefore he could not have
gone out that way. Comprenez? II
seemed ridiculous, Monsieur. but then
I went to the kitchen. The chef had
been there all day. and he had not
seen the ambassador at all. inquired
further. No one In the embassy. not
a clerk. nor servant. nor a member
OF the ambassadors family had seen
him since he left his Office"
Again he paused and ran one hand
across his troubled brow.

Eyeslght and Efficiency.

A large percentage Of the workmen
whose efficiency decreases with mid.
die age owe their declining earning
powers to their eyes. Most persons
experience a change In vision after
they pass their fortieth birthday, the
common trouble being an Increasing
tendency toward far sightedness. In
not few manufacturing plants there
Is an organized inspection Of eyes. In
the best.developed systems the eyes
Of all employees are examined by a
skilled specialist. The more common
practice, and an effective one, Is to I'm.
sist upon an examination when a
superintendent or foreman finds rea.
son to suspect that something Is
wrong with the eyes. II is not un-
common to see a workman holding n
blueprint or a piece OF work far from
him In order to see II better. Such
condition naturally slows up the
man. Clear vision Is large asset. es-
pecially where work requiring pre-
cision is involved.-Iron Age.

long before he could get around the

were never clean. What an existence!
