 Library's Property

A valuable collection of 15O0 books In German and French has been deposited with the Birmingham public library. It Is known as the c. c.

 The French collection includes beauti- fully bound sets of Maupassant, Zola. Moliere. Musset. Dumas, Daudet and Lott, Littre's 'Dictionnaire dc Ia langue Fran caise," and many readers, grammars and textbooks.
 The terms on which the deposit is made provide for the classification, cataloging and circulation of these books just as if they were the property of the public library. These terms, say the library res.x 1I,r hav md ifrh well serve as a model to other donors.

In . lecture in connection with the Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt" Dr. L. w. King said the spirit which animated the Egyptians in their varied and changing practices toward the dead was based on affection and rcv- erence, but the Babylonian. in the main, was prompted by fear. The Babylonians were probably moro spook-ridden than any other nation of antiquity, and their magical texts made 1t clear that the most terrible class of spirits were the ghosts ot the dead who for somo reason had been unable to enter the underworld. Driven to hunger and thirst. such a .ytost might roam about and fasten on anyone with whom 1t had relations in this life. and it would plague him until he performed the rites that could give peace. It was mainly to lay the ghost and prevent 1t from haunt ing" that the Babyionians were scru- pulous in performing the due burial eites.-London Times.

In MemOriam Of CLIFTON HOWELL.

At the Semi Annual meeting of the directors of the H mmett Grocery company, the following tribute to the memory of the late Clifton was passed.
 In the evening of the beautiful spring day--March 9, 1915, t,e spirit of Clifton Howsll. only son of she late E. C. Howell and wife, took its flight. passing away at his home on Martin aveEue. His body was borne by eight of his close friends to Bellwocd cemetsry and placed by the side of his beloved father. In the reace of a beautiful spring morning they laid him beneath the roses and other flowers 90 beautiful that he loved. frail and fit tokens for those Who fade in the prime of life.
 Born February 4, 1882, in Jefferson county, Arkansas, he was thirty-three years of age. He rose by his own ef- forts to ba success in the business world, and was admired and honored and loved by host of friends, many of whom, both old and young. called him "Tip." for he was of lovable nature. Full of humor, his person. ally charming, he brought sunshine into many lives. His personsl ap- pearance was pleasing, showing in his courteous manners and fine face refined ancestry of which he was justly proud. A large number of friends have missed him. many near relatives have mourned his death. A serious gap has been the inlet of grief into happy home circle. He was generous and true to his friends and his family. all of whom will carry through life the happy memory of dear "Tip" Howell our President and co-worker. We bow in humble sub- mission to the will of the Great God for He knows best.
