saged into semblance of the elasticity
OF their youth and a fraction of the
strength of their prime are the kinds of
books that occupy honored places on
the shelves Of the Library of Congress
as a part Of its many gift collections.
The books given to the library come
from various quarters of the world. some
OF them, indeed. have been disinterred
from the very bowels Of the earth itself.
For example, take the Schiff collection,
or that part of it which was gathered
through the efforts of Ephriam Deinard

manuscripts and religious works. Some
OF them have been resurrected from
graves where centuries before they had
been tremendously buried. Other works
in the collection come from vaults in the
synogogues of Jerusalem and adjacent
cities. and their plight was such that in
some cases heroic treatment was neces-
sary to restore them to a condition where
they could be handled.
First Of all. such collection must nee
essarily be fumigated. Damp tombs and
musty walls leave their marks. When
collection is being fumigated. the books
are set on end in rows on shelves and
left partly opened. SO that the fumes

its youth.

Most Of this work is ordered by congress-
men. A request will come In for a special
leather binding. a marble edge for the
leaves and other and similar improve
ments.
The work done by the bookbinders on
these special requests Is frequently cop
led by Independent firms throughout the
country. It is a sort Of national stand
ard of efficiency.
The rooms in the government printery
are marvels Of light and coolness. In
some of the upper rooms the impression
is gained that the work Is actually being
done al-fresco At night long lights that
give a peculiar bluish-white illumination
are turned on and the rooms made as
bright as they are during the day. Among
the employees there is little complaint of
eye trouble. despite the character of the
work.
In the room where the pages of books
to-be are sewed together the work Is
done entirely by women. The little ap-

The three general authorities of the
printery are the public printer. the dep

The first mentioned has general supervi-

and employees and Is the court OF last
resort on questions Of management. pur-
chase of materials and all other matters
The second Is more particularly inter-
ested in the management of the building,
including the purchase of all supplies.
To the chief clerk falls the duty of SUI
pervising the personnel Of the office.
The only feature of the printerys work
which Is not done in the big building at
North Capitol and H streets Is the color
and map work. and the employees are
confidently looking to the time when this
branch of work will also be included in
the routine. Reproductions Of photo

self out submissiVeIy and ioyously.
He has built temples for her and
placed her, like a deity, upon pedes-
tai.
One would have to be a god indeed
to be able to bear such benuf1ections
and idolatry without being pulled up
with monstrous egotism.
Woman is but poor mortal and
she is paying the price of her deifica-
ton. Her feelings are blunted and her
soul impoverished while her jewel
box is enriched. All that the man
offers her she accepts, impossible, as
if it were her right.
To her it seems perfectly natural,
that man should slave from morning
till night in order to satisfy her ext
gencies. 1t is she who condemns him
to chase wildly after millions and bill
lions. For her sake he created the
Trusts. The gold which he extortiates
from groaning multitudes he deposits
at her feet. - T.
And all this he does without a
word. For conversation he has his
business connections, his political
friends, his club comrades. Woman,
he esteems, is worth more than that,
she is too precious a being.
Her he looks at fixedly with adj
miration and desire. He is always
ready to take out his check book for
her.
Thus it is evident that their COM
partnership can be nothing but most
material one. He wishes to enjoy, she
to shine Their union is limited to
the domination of the senses and van
ity. 1t is not mutual penetration,
mingling of the souls.
The American woman especially
has va OI1n notion that fhorn iS
