an assistant district attorney In New

,erowina Inverted Trees.

A foreign railway company has
solved the plan of getting good shade
trees in short time, though they may
be small. These trees are so arranged
that after two years time they will
give as much shade as trees I'm the or
binary way Of setting out would give
that are fifteen or twenty years old.
Tho company gets a small elm tree,
preferably digging this. roots and all,
from the ground. The tree then Is set,
the top part being set into the ground,
and the roots are left in the air The
tree then grows, forms roots on what
origlnallyAwas the top of the tree, and
the original roots that now take the
place Of the branches begin to leaf out
and form complete foliage very quick
ly. Beautiful specimens Of such in.
Verted trees are to be seen by the foun-
tains in Kenslngton gardens, London.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY
PROVES USEFUL TO
AMERICUS PEOPLE
CITIZENS HAVE time TO READ
Statistics Show That Its Field
is Broadening

In the mad rush for the dollar mod
ern American cities are apt to forget
that such a thing as a book ever ex-
listed. But this is not the case in our
hustling little city of Americus. Sta
tistics compiled by Miss Virginia Gum,
the efficient librarian of the local Car
negie library, show that the people of
Americus have time to read books, and
that they make the best of their op-
portunity.
During the month of August 1889
books have been borrowed from the Ii
brary, and over $50 persons have Wis
tied the reading rooms to consult the
reference books or look at the pictures
in the magazines. This shows an in
crease of 10 over the month of July
for during that month 450 people used
the reading rooms.
The slogan Of the modern breakfast
food, Tell us what you eat and we
will tell you what you are," is familiar
to all. Turn it around to Tell US
what you read and we will tell you
what you are" Here goes in an effort
to determine what the people of Ameri-
Gus are.
While the children of the town have
drawn out $50 books during the month
of August they have not all been fairy
stories, as some folks would believe
In fact II of the little readers have
taken books on sociology home with
them, and twelve histories have been
perused by them. The other figures
show that they have read 275 books
of fiction; 1 book on fine art; on
useful art and 1 on religion.
The grown people of the town have
read fiction almost exclusively; 750
books of that class have been drawn
out; copies of general literature; 4
of history and l ON socialism. The
rent collection has been called into
play 120 times.
All in all the report shows that the
library is growing in popularity with
the people of Americus. Miss Gum
is to be congratulated on her efficient
work as librarian.
