odds were too great to win, with

SOME LIBERTY LOAN ITEMS

New York banks are said by the New York Times to now hold very small blocks of Liberty Bonds. This is accounted for by the facts that most of these banks received only relatively small amount of the bonds they sub. scribed for, and that they have made sales to their customers of those they did receive under the allotment. The fact that the banks are not loaded down with these bonds is regarded by the Times as denoting very healthy con- dition for the Liberty bond market as it shows that there is popular demand for the bonds.
 The New York Sun says that the astounding leap in the number of bond investors for the small number of bond holders previous to the Liberty Loan Bond sale to over four million subscri. bers to the Liberty Loan, has opened the eyes of the banking world to the enormous possibilities which will un. : doubtedly be at their disposal for plac. ing the second government loan. The people, it states, have been impressed with the advantage of saving and lend ing money to the government.
 Postal savings in New York have been mounting rapidly notwithstand ing numerous purchases by small in vestors of Liberty Loan Bonds. Deposits at the New York Postoffice and branches increased nine million dollars or forty. weight per cent for the current year, and the number of depositorl now number one hundred thirty-fivt thousand.

Repair Mirrors.

To renew the silvering on the back of mirror lay it face downward on a smooth surface and prepare piece of tinfoil large enough to patch the damaged part by rubbing it with mer- cury. Place the patch in position, lay a sheet of paper over 1t, and put on 1t a weight having perfectly flat sur face and heavy enough to press it down tightly. Let the mirror lie in this position for day or two and the foil will adhere to the glass.

sparrows Found Necessary.

The sparrows rear two broods a year in Holland and are voracious eat CTS. So they clear away crowds, of insect pests against which man would be powerless. This was found out in those districts where ruthless massacre of sparroWs had taken place, and where promptly the insect plague as sumed such proportions that all chem ical and other human methods proved of no avail against it. Sparrows had again to be introduced to cope with the nuisance.

Pathetic Instinct Dates Far Back.

It would be interesting to know, if we could, when the first primitive man. Hesitation of the esthetic instinct came to man.

Cut glass probably would break more easily than uncut glass. The pattern in cut glass is cut by means of grinding wheels. Uncut glass pat terms are usually nodded. The angles in cut glass are better defined and sharper. The cutter also may, in some places, drive his wheel a little deeper than in other spots. Obvious ly, the glass at such points would be thinner and more fragile.

LIBRARY BAD NAME
FOR BOOKSHELF

The posSeSsor of books can commit
no greater oftcnse against taste than
to apply the stiff name of library" to
nus collection. says the London Globe.
ON" is thereby unplcasantly reminded
OF dust, of extension ladders and OF
Andrew Carnegie. Libraries are for
serried ranks and calf bound tones:
libraries are for commentators ana
gazet,ccrs and filing experts: they are
not for books or lovers of books. These
last bestow and arrange their possess
sions on bookshclvcs in any old room.
and preferably in a bedroom. But
arrange is not the just word. Book
shelves are distinguished by their lack
OF arrangement. by their enchanting
confusion and Kaleidoscope variety OF
edition. Arrangement is a dull quality
IN book shelves, and is to be applied
only to the uniform editions and bind
ings of libraries. Books on a book shell
should simply occur.
