Precious Library.

Mr.. G. NJ. Bowman of Logic, Fife
Scotland, proprietor of the entailed
North Fife estate of Logic, who recent
ly died, possessed library under
most particular injunction for its pres
ervation. 1t consists of many valuable
editions of the classics and a valuable
collection of engravings, and under the
entail the heir is prohibited from lend
ing the books, but is bound to keep
suitable room for the library in his
house, and to allow free access to 1t
to the neighboring gentlemen there to
read and study. He is also bound to
have a basin with water and towel
that the books may not be soiled with
unclean hands, and women and chill
dren are expressly prohibited from
having access to the library.

Cars Strenuous Life.

Although the car of Russia Is not

them. For year he has been living
in a small house, from which he and
his staff direct the movements of his
vast armies. He lives almost as sim
ply as the meanest of his soldiers, rises
at six o'clock every morning, and
works, with intervals only for his meals
and an occasional walk or motor ride,
often until the small hours of the morn.

KEEP ON COLLECTING HEADS
In Spite of Strenuous Efforts to Wipe
Out Barbarous Custom, 1t Con-
tinues in Existence.

The head-hunting Igorotes of Luzon,
whom Uncle Sam has almost broken
of this bad habit, are not the only saw
ages in the world who delight in col
lecting specimens of the heads of their
enemies. The head-hunters of the
great Island of Borneo are so given to
the practice that, so far, nothing has
been able to make them give 1t up, and
villages will make war on each other
for the express purpose of getting
heads with which to decorate their
houses.
In Java and Sumatra, also, there are
tribes of head-hunters, who carry on
their savage warfare continually,
fighting more for the sake of taking
heads than for any other reason.
In the little-known regions of east
ern Peru and Ecuador there exists
race of Indians who kill their enemies
with poisoned darts shot out Of blow
guns, and these also are head-hunters.
They not only cut off the head OF
fallen enemy as trophy, but they cure
it by a secret process after removing
the bones, and it shrinks until 1T is not
larger than a doubled-up fist.
The Peruvian and Ecuadorian gov
ernments have forbidden the sale OF
these heads, in which the Indians used
to do a considerable business with
strangers, and have made laws against
head-hunting, but the wild Indians
with the blow-guns and poisoned darts
do not care much about laws, and still
pursue their revolving practice.

EXISTS ONLY IN MEMORY
Little Red sohooIhouse" Is Now One
Of the Things That Belong
to the Past.

"The little red schoolhouse" was a
rallying cry in more than one national
political campaign of recent years, and
government bulletin issued n week or
so ago had a long article about the
Insanitary conditions of "the little red
schoolhouse." We are warned to pre-
serve intact "the little red school
house." to clean up and scrub out and
paint "the little red schoolhouse," and
so ON.
And, Notwithstanding all this propa-
ganda about 1t, who in this part of
the country has ever seen or knows of
the existence of 'red schoolhouse,"
little or big, unless 1t be one of red
brick? The phrase Is intended to em-
brace schoolhouses in the country dis
tricts but there is hardly red coun-
try schoolhouse in Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, or any western state. Most
of the buildings are white, some are
of no color at all, except a weather.
beaten silver gray, and there are
few log schoolhouses, and maybe
somewhere there is a red one.
Possibly there are few scattering
red schoolhouses in the country dis
tricts of New England and the East.
That is where the phrase "little red
schoolhouse" originated. With true
Yankee thrift they painted them red,
just as they painted their barns, red, be-
cause red was the cheapest kind of
paint. The country boys and girls of
century ago and later were taught in
little red schoolhouses, and the phrase
'little red schoolhouse" crept into print
and the oratory of the hustings. To
say that man was graduated from
the little red schoolhouse meant that
he was self-made man who began
at the grassroots.
To speak or write of the preserva-
ton of the little red schoolhouse meant
reference to those homely virtues
and simple tastes of the country, free
and unhampered by oppression of
either church or state. And the slo-
gan, 'little red schoolhouse," has come
down to us and is a part of the Ian
guage, long after the little red school
house has disappeared.
