It is said that a novelty in books is to be issued under the title of “Invalids’ Libra- ry.” Each volume is “to be printed on a long strip of paper-covered muslin, so that a patient can comfortably unroll it and read in bed, thus dispensing with the at- tendant fatigue of holding a heavy book. Why go to all this trouble and expense? Why not buy from the publisher a copy of the book before it is stitched for binding? In this way a handful of pages can be taken up at a time, and they are so light that it would be no effort for the weakest invalid to hold them. Another advantage of these unstitched sheets is that all the family can read the book at the same time. Let one get the start, and the others can follow on. I gave some of these unstitched pages to a friend once, and she was de- lighted with the arrangement. The pages open out readily, and have little or no weight; and then, she said, “it is so amus- ing for all of us to be reading the same book at the same time.” The suggested Invalids’ Library would be expensive, and I do not think that it would be as practical as the plan that I propose. ++ Before and After. From the Indianapolis Journal. “I remember,” said Mrs. Wickwire, im- pressively, “you once said if you had the world you would gladly lay it at my feet.” “Oh, ‘did I?” asked Mr. Wickwire. “Yes, you did.

The Chinese establishment at 314 Penn- sylvania avenue northwest was raided last evening by policemen from the sixth pri cinct, and a game of fan-tan found to be in full blast. As a result the proprietors, Moy Ting and Yun Sing, were placed under arrest, charged with maintaining a gam- bling house, and a number of celestials taken into custody as witnesses. In Judge Miller's court today Attorney Sillers ap- peared for the Chinamen, and the hearing was postponed unul Friday next. The game was in progress in the rooms over the general store of which Quong, arg Lung & Co. are the proprietors. For several weeks past the police have sus- pected that gambling was carried on in the building, and Detective Hartigan kept an eye on the place. Yesterday morning the detective received a “tip” that a game of fan-tan and a lottery drawing would be in progress during the evening, and there- upon a raiding party was orgamzed, con- sisting ef Acting Sergeant Langiey, De- tective Hartigan and Policemen Newkirk and Haynes. Shortly before 10 o'clock the quartet dashed into the hallway of the building, sreauly to the surprise of two supposed snuinels, one on the sidewalk and the other at the head of the stairs. The latter uttered a shout of warning, and when the raiding party entered the ‘front room ail was found to be in confusion. One of the inmates grabbed a big pile of greenbacks i dashed through a rear window, suc- ceeding in making his escape. Six Others were rounded up by the policemen, and a collection of gambling paraphernalia and $57.40 in cash taken in charge to be used in evidence. _A large crowd assembled as the arrested foreigners were loaded into a patrol wagon and driven to the siation. There the wit- sses gave thelr names as Loo Gong, Hong How, De Foo, Sing Ling, Aw Buc and Ging ‘Fong. Friends of the alleged samblers scurried about and succeeded in securing their release on collateral and bail. ‘The same establishment was raided about nine months ago, but because of a scarcity of evidence no conviction followed. eens ILVER MEN WON. Llecting Delegates to the Kentucky Demecratic Convention. The free silver leaders in Kentucky are jubilant’ over their sweeping victory throughout the state Saturday. Accurate returns show 670 silver dele- gates elected to the state convention Wed- nesday against 24 for gold. The silver men carried every congressional district in the state except the fifth, which is the Louisville district. The western end of the state, including the first, second, third and fourth districts, did not send a single sound money delegate, ard for that reason the leaders, who have consulted with Senator Blackburn, think it will be proper to make a western Kentucky man chairman of the convention. Senator Blackburn will probably be made temporary chairman of the convention Wednesday. ———-+ The Olney School. ‘The closing exercises of Olney School took place last Friday evening at 1827I street. A drill with dumb bells was led by Miss Marion Wiison, followed by feet exercises, led by Miss Patty Stanton. The anvil chorus was executed without a flaw, led by Miss Ethel Lockhart. Miss Marie Barnes was the lead- er of some difficult movements with the dumb bells. This was intermingled with pretty marches. Next in order the pupils waltzed in with wreaths of roses and went through a drill of swinging movements. Little Miss Grace McMillan Jarvis then led the most graceful of all dances, the stately minuet, which was executed with so much skill it won loud applause. Miss Patty Stanton was successful in leading the Dei- sarte pantomime. A beautiful dance around the May pole closed the exercises of the calesthenics class. Certificates to those pupils who successfully passed their exam- inations were then presented. Miss Marion Wilson received a silver pin as reward for not baving missed a single day during the entire session. Miss Barnes and Miss Stan- ton were on the roll of honor, having at- tained a high average in every examina- tion, and were presented with gold pins. Miss Addie Hall was honored for perfect deportment during the entire session, and also received a gold pin. After a dance the picasant entertainment came to an end. eae Death of Mrs. Atkins. Mrs. Elenor Calvert Stuart Atkins, widow of Rev. Addison B. Atkins, D. D., for many years rector of St. John’s P. E. Church, Georgetown, died at her residence, 1417 20th street, in this city, yesterday morning. Mrs. Atkins belonged to the well- known Stuart family of Chantilly, Va. She was a great granddaughter of Richard Henry Lee, president of the First American Congress, and on her mother’s side was connected with the Lees of Arlington and the Calverts of Mt. Airy. To many of the older residents of Washington Mrs. Atkins’ death will come as a personal loss, for she endeared herself to a large circle of friends by her unselfish life and kindly thought- fulness of others. The funeral will take place from her home on 2th street at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon; the interment on Wednesday morning at Christ Church cemetery, Alexandria, Va. ——__ Light for a Bird’s Nest.

From the New York Sun, Close to Buffalo bayou ran City, and in the Teche s of Louisiana, a passenger on a Texas Central train pointed out a ditch fall of water hy- acinths. They made a bed half a mile long of grcen wax-like leaves studded with up- right plumes of pale lavender blossoms. This was a month ago. He told me how, in the summer of I891, he and itis wife nod been stopping at Monte Sano, In northern Alabama, and had found there a lotus pond containing, besides the lotus plants, a few water hyacinths—both brouzht from a dis- tance. He lived in New Orleans, and to his home in that city he shipped some of the hyacinths done up in moss. They mul- t’plied so rapidly in his gardea in New Or- leans that they had to be thinned out, and the discarded plants were thrown into the recommen money received beyond Mc gar sec m ash barrel and then into a ditch in the country. A year later they were noticed along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, and in two years were abuniant all around the lake and in all the waters that em into it. In three years hunters an? yac ren returning to the city brought wonder- ful news of the spread of the plant, and de- clared that it impeded navigation in some of the bzyous. Great beds of the w. plant, gorgeous in the springtizne with warm cloud of color, floated in all the i yous and reached in ribbons along the creeks and branches. It is found now that serious hindrance in damage to any interest, because spread they constantly break aj the detached masses float out into and into the ocean, where navigat they will offer no navigation them in the guise of lavender islands. They do not take root in the soil, but float and subsist upon water. peo- ple of the guif coast are still astonished at this visitation, and are wondering what has been its cause They have not yet learned to utilize the flowers for decorative purposes, or to cultivate and sell them to lovers of nature's ornaments. The boys who peddle Cherokee roses, jessamine and Lilies gtill pass the wild hyacinths by, but in time they will know better, for the leaf is almost as beautiful as the blossom, and that is very beautiful indeed.
