PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
Among certain authors of the
present time there is great rivalry as to
who can cover the maximum of paper
with the minimum of thought
Since the editor of Public Libraries
has given expression to tho above criti
cism it seems worth while for us to give
it some consideration
It is true there aro reams of paper
covered on which there appears no
thought and nothing to stimulate
thought The authors of ouch books
must have settled with their commer
cial conscience only and on tho ground
that thoy are producing some of the
best sellers of the season Their
spiritual conscience only must be uneasy
ordormant We are thankful however
that there are some authors of the
present time who are writing not mere
ly to fill space but to give to tho world
the best their minds can produce Such
writings are A Summer Hymnal
The Divine Fire The Sky Pilot
Tom Grogan The Blue Flower
Mrs Wiggs A Singular Life The
Son of Royal Langbrith and others
Novels Yes and love stories most
of them Emerson himself has said
All mankind loves a -lover and the
story of faithful love will always hold
its charm Penelope unravelling her
web at night to prolong her weaving
until the return of Ulysses is one of the
oldest of love stories but it has served
as the type for many another We get
some of our best ethical teaching from
fiction and the influence of much of
our fictitious literature has been for
good and many novels have their
message setting the world to thinking
and often times proving themselves
prophets of the progress which follows

Depth of Cyclones
From the study of clouds an official
of the United States weather bureau
concludes that ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
to east are not more than two or three
miles in depth although their diameter
is many hundreds of miles In other
words their motion does not affect the
upper regions of the atmosphere In
the case of hurricanes this authority
finds that the depth is greater amount
ing to as mueh as five or six miles
But higher currents blow directly
across the cyclonic and anticyclonic
areas which produce storms and fair
weather at the surface of the earth

MULAI HAFIQ
Now Moorish Ruler Who Is a Bono tf
Contention In Europe
rilncc Mulnl Hafid of Morocco caused
a note of discord In the concert of the
powers In his efforts to upset the
throne of his brother Abdul Aziz the

MUIiAI HAFJD AND THR ENTRANCE TO ONE
OF THE SULTANS PALACES
has assumed leading international in
terest It Is not that the world hi gen
eral cares so much whether Morocco is
ruled by one brother or the other It
is bound to be ruled badly in either
case But the powers of Europe agreed
upon certain policies with respect to
Morocco at the Algeciras conference
and Mulai having come along and tak
en the throne aAvay from his brother
the situation is somewhat cuinfud
dled so to speak in consequence
France has eyes on Morocco and Ger
many has eyes on France The kaiser
is jealous of French interference in the
affairs of Morocco and it was this in
part that made it difficult for the pow
ers as represented in the Algeciras
conference to agree on a policy which
would assure their respective commer
cial interests in the empire of the
Moors and keep its principal ports
open for business with the world with
out giving the French too much to say
about ruling the domain The agree
ment which was reached was supposed
to have adjusted the matter satisfac
torily but now that Mulai has defeat
ed his brother in several battles and
practically established himself in pow
er tho peace of Europe is again threat
ened by the question of how when
and where the recognition of the more
powerful of the two contestants for
the throne should be accomplished
Abdul Aziz who of course ought
now to call himself Abdul Aswas hav
ing served about sixteen years as sul
tan Is loath to give up the job which
in spite of its attendaut dangers has
afforded Mm considerable sport Lie
has amused himself a good deal with
bicycles cameras automobiles and oth
er novelties of the age and his brother
Mulai who claims to be more orthodox
in the Mohammedan faith proclaims
all such things Christian deviltries
Mulai has succeeded in replacing his
brother in the affections of the Moors
iu part by representing that Abdul
Aziz has fallen from grace However
even Mulai fell once when he allowed
himself to be photographed a proceed
ing contraiy to the teachings of the
Koran He only permitted a likeness
of himself to be taken on the under
standing that no copy of the picture
should be made public in Morocco
which goes to show that like many
other people he thinks it not so bad to
in if only you are not found out

A COURSE OF OX
Try It as an Antidote For tho Ills of
the Strenuous Life
In the choice of motor power allow
me to suggest the cx The horse leans
forward to pull and cvvn helps himself
nlong by bobbing his head He jerks a
load out of a hard place by plunging
bodily against the colhir stopping and
lunging again lie strains through a
hard place and then starts suddenly
forward at his release He works him
self Into a lather and you if you arc
the right kind of persou cannot help
feeling for him and assisting him with
toward stress and strain
The ox does not bob a horn He sim
ply journeys and the load goes along
When he comes to a tough place his
pasterhs do not bend dowu he does not
squat to pull he does not pinch along
ou the toes of his shoes he seldom
blows and he does not know how to
sweat He does not exert himself at a
patch of woven soil and then hurry up
when he is past it The chain becomes
stlffer and the yoke sits solider to his
neck and that Is all There is no sign
of effort The earth may grit its teeth
and crunch as It swallows the plow but
the ox stalks on his way With the
share deep or shallow or lifted entirely
and hanging from the axle whether
he Is plowiug earth or air it makes no
difference to him His most ponderous
task Is still himself and ho heeds no
incidentals
He is out for a stroll He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
kuui ui un iij ins iuuuuil j iiiu IS
ged to his outstanding rump bones like
so much spar and tackle and he goes
along by interior leverage Inside his
old woman hulk is the necessary en
gine work and he will neither go slow
er for this thing nor faster for that
There is much about him besides his
disposition that is sslf contained He
Is the antithesis of the automobile To
ride on his back is a cure for indiges
tion to iAq behind him As a rest for
the mind A course of ox is an antidote
fior the ills of t4ie times Charles D

A BRIER PIPE
Get One That Is Smooth Inside the
BovI Says a Smoker
A collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color of his brier
wood pipes and pretends to know a lot
more about them than auy ordlnarj
smoker spent half au hour In a tobacco
shop making an addition to his already
large collection
Some pipes he discarded because of
the grain in the wood There was too
much stripe or too much birdseye he
remarked When he found one which
suited him he put it aside until he had
gathered three or four which appar
ently were all right and then came his
final test to pick out the best of them
all
He held each with the bowl toward
the light then slowly rubbed his little
finger inside Two he discarded then
repeated the operation with the others
until only one remained out of the dis
card That one he boucht
Want em smooth inside he ex
plained A brier pipe roughly fin
ished inside the bowl isnt worth both
ering wuu i wouldnt taue one tor a
gift wouldnt take the trouble to try to
break it in for it will never be any
good It wont cake up right and itll
never be nice and sweet
Ive got a theory that when the in
side of the bowl is rough all the little
edges and pointe of wood char and
burn the first time you smoke it and a
burnt pipe is no good Thats why I
always take a pipe that has a bowl as
smooth on the inside as on the out
Then it doesnt char but cakes up
evenly and gets good in a little time
Maybe the theory is wrong but it has
worked out well in my own experience
and some of my friends who have tried
It agree with me New York Sun
One Industry of the Pesky Ant
Out in Burma and the far east where
sandalwood is worth its weight in sil
ver the pestiferous ant is a valuable
assistant to the loggers of that precious
timber The hard and fragrant heart
wood alone has value but as the tree
grows this valuable heart is overlaid
by a soft and worthless layer forming
two thirds of the trunk When a tree
is felled and cut into lengths the log
gers let the timber lie At once the
ants begin work upon the soft wood
which is sappy and sweet enough to
attract them In a few weeks less
than a month in the case of the largest
butts the ants deliver the heartwood
free of all the worthless sapwood

Tricking the Hens
Chinamen have a way of tricking
hens so that they assist in the hatching
of fish Fish eggs are carefully placed
in an eggshell which is then sealed
and placed under an unsuspecting hen
In a tevr days the spawn is warmed
into life and the contents of the shell
are then cast into a shallow pool where
the sunshine completes the work

Mrs M J Wyatt Minden Nebr
says For eight years I suffered from
acute attacks of backache brought on
by a disorder of my kidneys My con
dition was such at times that I was
hardly able to stoop and to go up and
down stairs was an action attended with
much misery If I exerted myself a
dull aching across my back would be
come so acute that I would bo forced
to lie down and rest The secretions
from my kidneys were also too frequent
in action and annoyed me a great deal
I became tired and languid was restless
