A LIBRARIANS HIGHEST DUTY

AT recent convention of librarians delegate
stated that the highest duty of keeper Of public
library is to guard the books from harm and see
to it that all of them always in their proper
places. A librarian who heeds such advice could
hardly expect to accomplish much good in the COM
munity in which the books carefully pre-
served If librarian has any duty which
should be performed above all others it is to see
to it that as many books as possible not always
in their places. (
Books in public library to be used and used
hard. Precautions, of course, must be taken to
prevent volumes from being damaged without eX-
cuse, but the greater the wear and tear them,
through ordinary usage, the more serviceable are
books shown to be- The existence of plentiful
thumb marks on the pages of book should be
approved not deprecated the necessity for rebind-
ing volume should be welcomed not deplored
The usefulness of present-day municipal
library, conducted as inteligently as the one in
this city, is perhaps not appreciated fully as it
should be by community officials and citizens. Few
other agencies ii any city influence as many diff
ferent kinds of persons, meet as great variety
of needs as the public library.
Delegates at the national convention of librar-
ians declared that their most difficult work was
the guiding of boys and girls in the choice of books.
If it is the most difficult it is also the most impor-
tant. Adults generally have clearly defined opin-
ions of what they want to read, and are able to
select volumes from the shelves without assistance
seldom giving employees any more trouble than
that of stamping their cards. Children, however,
do not take out books with so much independence,
or if they do, they not likely to get volumes
which are exactly suited to their needs. Their
ideas about books are formative and need to be
carefully moulded by discriminating elders. This
duty most often devolves upon the librarian
The place of custodian of books is not so much
to dictate what works are to be sought, and what
to be Stunned, when the borrowers of the books
are men and women. A library needs only to be
kept attractive and good order maintained on the
shelves to fulfill its purpose so far as patrons with
mature Judgments concerned A librarian s
highest duty certainly should not be to keep all
the books in their places. Large circulation with
plenty of wear and tear is far more to be desired

CATARRB Leads
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may be
relieved, but it cannot be removed by
simply local treatment. 1t breaks down
the general health, weakens the lung
tissues, and leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is so successful
in the treatment of catarrh that it is
known as the best remedy for this
disease. 1t purifes the blood. Ask your
druggist for it. Adv.

was compelled to preside in the court George Gordon who stood charged with nigh treason. The chief justice was man so fair and so broad that during the whole proceedings he showed him. self free from the slightest tinge of re- sentiment or prejudice; but at the same time he made no parade of generosity of feeling. There could be no doubt that the acts of the insurgents, during the last days of the riots. did amount to high treason; but the great question was how far the prisoner was to be considered privy to them-for although he had headed the procession to present the petition, and had then been guilty of great intemperance of language by which the mob were excited to violence he had afterwards attempted to control them, and had actually offered to as- sist the sheriffs in restoring traifquil- ity.
 Luckily for him he was defended by an advocate who on this occasion gave full proof of those wonderful powers which afterwards rendered his name so illustrious, Lord Erskine.
 In summing up the case the chief justice left two questions to the jury: First, did the insurgents intend by force to compel the repeal of the stat ute passed to mitigate the penalties to which Roman Catholics were subject :? and the second did the evidence clearly prove that Lord George Gordon had participated in this intent by calling such an assemblage to present the pe- tition of the Protestant association, by meeting them at St. Georges Fields. by leading them to the house of commons by addressing them when they were in possession of the lobby. or by any other part of his conduct.
 Lord George Gordon was acquitted. To have convicted him upon acts so indirectly tending to a levying of war. or compassing the kings death. would have been establishing very danger 0us precedent
