PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
The library has recently purchased a
set of books which it is hoped may
prove useful to those who are studying
for civil service examinations The set
comprises three volumes of The Civil
Manual Vol 1 Arithmetic Vol 2
EDgliBh and Allied Subjects Vol 3
Geography and Spelling They are
such text books as are used in business
colleges for civil service preparation
and contain practical exercises and
sample sets of examination questions
They give information of value to one
preparing for the examinations and we
hope they may be much used for self
improvement by those who have not
been able to take so complete a course
in the subjects as they would like
The Chippendaleeby Robert Grant
is one of the best new novels we have
received It is a study of old and new
Boston It is very analytical in its
characterizations and the reader is in
terested from the first in the antagon
isms between the two elements the
traditional and the progressive conflict
ing everywhere in the business and
the social circles alike One follows to
the end with growing sympathy in the
gradual assimilation despite the major
and minor obstacles and rejoices in the
consummation when true love overcomes
cold conservatism and rank radicalism
and he lays the book away feeling con
vinced that the old and the new will
live happy ever after as all good story
book people should
While maDy of the new books could
never be called anything more than
a story The Chippendales is
rightly entitled to be named a novel

Worss Than His Own
A gentlemun who owns one of tho
finest estates In the north of England
while In his gardens one morning no
ticed one of the laborers very badly
clad und asked him
Have you no better clothes than
those Mat
No In troth yer honor worse luck
replied Mat
Well call at the house this evening
on your way home said the- gentle
man Ill leave an old suit of mine
with the butler for you
A few days later when showing a
party of visitors through the gardens
he was much annoyed to see Mat look
ing if possible more a scarecrow than
ever
Why are you still wearing those old
clothes Mat he asked
Sure yer honor theyre the best I
have replied Mat
But did you not get the suit I left
for you the other day asked the gen
tleman
Indeed an I did thank yer honor
kindly replied Mat but sure I had
to lave them at home to be mended

When Baseball Was an Infant Industry
It was a crude game but merry In
theory the pitcher was there only to
give the boys a chance to soak the
ball First bound was still out The
unfortunate catcher handling a heavy
lively ball without mask glove or pro
tector stood up near the bat when
men were on bases If he had the skill
and courage The early guides recom
mended him to do so when he could
Had not the pitcher been restricted to
an artificial throw scarce a catcher
would have lived to tell the tale
Many catchers took everything on
first bounce and managed at that to
prevent much base stealing Base run
ning also was in its Infancy Smith
says the Spirit of the Times caught
a remarkable game having but five
passed balls scored against him Here
and there we get a glimpse which
shows how crude it all was what a
matter of hit and miss natural force
In the fifties Dicky Pearce shone with
out a peer as an infielder He used to
stop grounders with his hand and foot

It Is a safe rule in this world to look
carefully after the details of your own
property Be sure your title deeds are

your property The wonder Is that
with all the confidence reposed In
financial matters there are so few def

it easy for some one to get your prop

persons to acquire anything and they
should be careful to the last degree in

Britains Greatest Precipice
Writing to the Newcastle Journal In
regard to the drowning of three bird
catchers at St Kilda a correspondent
says the wild fowls of St Kilda find
nesting places that enable them to bid
defiance to the sportsman nud to the
most daring of bird catchers There
is for example the precipice called
Conagher the same being far and
away the greatest precipice in the
British Isles the deepest perpendicu
lar precipice It rises from the sea
level to a clear height of 1220 feet
Consider that a man might jump froir
the top of Conagher into the sea with
out getting a scratch by the way

One of the most remarkable places
In Europe of which no tourist on pleas

Antwerp has been known for genera

afflicted with insanity in all Its forms
live there and have a happy being as
the guests of the Inhabitants who
know by experience how to treat the
unfortunate ones In the streets In

to treat the demented people The
dangerous ones are sent to another

wonderful how considerate careful

A RACE ON ICE
The Skates Th2t Got Away and Those
TharWere Recovered
Thackeray oftce asked one of the
men who let out skates on the Ser
pentine whether he had ever lost a
pair through the omission to exact a
deposit and he replied that he had
never done so except on one occasion
when the circumstances made it al
most pardonable
A well dressed young fellow was
having his second skate fastened or
when he suddenly broke away fron
the mans hands and dashed to the ice
The next instant a thickset powerfu
man was clamoring for another pair
He was a detective in pursuit of ht
prey and a very animating sight I
was to watch the chase He was aw
he had boasted a first rate skater and
It became presently obvious that he
was running down his man
Then the young fellow determined to
run a desperate risk of liberty The
Ice as usual under the bridge was
marked Dangerous and he made for
It at headlong speed The ice bent be
neath his weight but he got safely
through
The sheriffs officer followed with
equal pluck but being a heavier man
broke through and was drowned
His skates said the narrator of
the incident I got back after the in
quest but those the young gentleman
had on I never saw again London

The Salt Sea Legend
There Is a legend in the Norse scalds
which explains why the sea is salt
The bountiful Frodl whose mythical
reign was a golden age Indeed pos
sessed a quern or hand mill which
ground out gold and peace but which
would grind out stores of anything de
sired by its owner Two giant maid
ens ruled over by Frodi were the
grinders In an evil day a sea rover
came upon the scene slew Frodi and
carried off the quern and the two
giant maidens who worked it When
the sea rovers vessel was right out at
sea he ordered the maidens to grind
salt At midnight they asked if they
had not ground enough The sea
rover angry at being awakened from
his sleep commanded them to grind
until morning Now the giant maid
ens naturally enough worked very
quickly so as they went on grinding
the load of salt grew so heavy that It
sank the ship and now the sea will
continue salt forever
Looked Too Far
There was an English farmer a
Somersetshire man who once owned
a telescope The old man remarked
to a friend afe a local race meeting that
the gentry nowadays had glasses for
both eyes and added that he had had
one once for one eye a right good one
it was but now it was no use at all
no not to nobody
Why not asked the friend
Well he said it were a good one
I could see miles wi en I could see
plain fhe steeple of the church five

borrowed en and he tried to see the
steeple of tother church ten miles
off and tried and tried and couldnt

Old Manx Banknotes
Speaking of the curious Maux bank
ing lore of the past the Liverpool Post
says that a singular state of affairs
was exhibited In the Island at tho
close of the Napoleonic wars Trade
was brisk money was more freely ad
ventured and all sorts of private per
sons began to Issue notes There waf
no occasion whatever to have sterling
against them AH you had to do was
to get some one to take them and pass
them on The fashion grew till even
the humbler traders Issued card
promises to pay the values most in
circulation being 5 shillings a shilling
and even sixpence Once an advo
cate from Castletown went to Peel to
collect a judgment of 330 from the
coroner of Glenfaba This worthy paid
him 2704 card notes many of thein
worthless They took several hours to
examine and count and their trans
port was an item of extreme difficulty
Finally they were put into a big sack
half shaken to one end and half to the
other and the whole slung over the
back of a horse The lather of tho
horse soaking through spoiled nearly
half the cards
Clearing the Atmosphere
In his capacity of dramatic critic
Mr J Comyus Carr the author wrote
a notice of the play of Charles I in
which Irving played under the man

order perhaps to find the opportunity
of Informing the critic of his disap
proval the manager Invited him to a
supper at the Westminster club on the
second or third night of the produc
tion When he thought the fitting mo
ment had arrived Mr Bateman led the
conversation to the point at issue and
emphatically banging the table with
his fist declared In the loudest of
tones that he did not produce his plays
at the Lvceum theater to please Mr
Comyns Carr There was a moments
awkward silence which Mr Carr con
fesses he did not feel quite able to
break but which was released by a
wit of the company with the happy re
tort Well dear boy then you cant
be surprised if they dont please him
