She proved to be- | charged out, but could not be recovered. Quick Cures manners, made a regular practice of Being caught at it one day and accused by the librarian, he put on an air of great dignity, hotly declared that he was insulted and walked out. But the magazine the lawyer had stolen was | found thrown down in the entry, and he At the New York Mercantile Library a young woman was discovered leaving the rooms with one book, which she was en- titled to, in her hand, and five others long to a well-to-do family and was am- ply able to buy all the books she could need. The late Dr. Willlam F. Poole, who had charge of the Chicago Public Library, declared that many clergymen had, as regards books, an imperfect appreciation of the laws of meum tuum. He had found ministers more remiss in returning books than any other class of men. He did not intend to reflect on a noble and sacred profession by charging the dere- | lictions of the few upon the many, but he believed the truth about the matter should be told. He had had unpleasant | experfences with men of that calling, who, | after stealing books from the library, had removed the book plates and library | stamp and covered the tvolumes with | heavy paper, carefully pasted down in- side the covers. This statement seems to be borne out by the record of the Union | Theological Seminary, at New York, in its dealings with ministers and theolog- | ical students. According to the librarian's | report, the seminary hus lost a thousand | volumes, taken out and not returned. | This, of course, included what were The long history of the Merdantile Li- brary of Philadelphia furnishes many strange cases of this form of petty lar- ceny. At a certain perfod in the some- what checkered career of this time hon- | ored institution a number of valuable | | books were missed from its shelves, and | | means were taken to detect the culprit. | This led to the discovery that the thief | was a physician in the most respectable | rank in soclety, and more than fifty vol- umes were found upon the shelves of his | private library and recovered. Other ex- amples of kleptomania in persons of ac- | cepted social position have astonished the | custodians of this library from time to! | time, but the means of preventing such | thefts has not vet been discovered, | It may be gathered from these many cases of library depredations that they | are very common, that perpetual Vflzll-i ance is necessary in order to guard the | books and that in nearly all cases some form of punishment would be wiser than pardon. In many cases of detected theft strong appeals are made by the culprit or his friends to save exposure by public proceedings. These appeals are commonly made not so much to avoid paying fines | impoged by law as to avold the disgrace attached to publieity. It is probably true that in the majority of cases such in- fluence has been strong enough to over-| ¢ome the determination of the library authorities to let the law take its course. Unfortunately, the consequences of such lenfency seems to encourage the extreme- ly lax conception of the sacredness of public property entertained by so many men and women of to-day. -—Ph(\ndelphi& Record. e No Chance to Signal Mars. Ireland’s great astronomer, Sir Robert Ball, has just reached his' sixty-third year. It is true that he has been astro- nomieal professor at Cambridge for a de- | cade, but he remains a thorough Irish- | man still. His career as an astronomer dates back to 1865, when shortly after leaving Trinity College, Dublin, he was placed in charge of the famous private observatory established at Parsonstown, Kings County, Ireland. When the pos- sibility of signaling to Mars was under | discussion he pointed out that if a flag of the size of Ireland was waved from a pole to match there was just a ghost of a chance that an astronomical Mar- tian might perceive the ghost of a flutter on the earth.—New York Commercial, —_————— Much interest has lately been aroused in London by two surgical operatiéns which have resulted In a marked change of character in the patients.

Of course, I cannot say how the negro feels about the things I have in mind, but it seems to me that they should be inclined to offer some kind of show of resentment. The negro has individuality. It is striking, even poetic, in some of its respects. What is sweeter than char- acteristic negro melodies? Split up into ragtime, syncopated, drawn and haltered, its natural beauty is marred. The negro dialect is rich. musical and limitless in both comic and poetic possibilities. But, my! my!

Did you ever hear a negro say ah for I? Well, per- haps you have but this is the rare ex- ception. The negro generally sounds the ‘1, and sounds it thinly instead of broad- ening it into the sound of ‘a.’ For in- stance, ‘I's gwine’ is a very common way the negro has for beginning a sentence meaning ‘I am going.” The expression as a rule is thin and sharp—T's gwine." This peculiarity of negro speech is not only overlooked by the jingle builders who have flooded the market with ragtime songs; the dialecticians who are seeking ; to preserve what beauty there is In the language of this interesting race by giv- ing the negro a lasting place in the lit- ‘erature of the country have fallen into the same error. peculiarities of speech and change the character of his musie, and you take from him all that is humorous, poetic and all | the finer emotional shades, all the tints | and colors which run the wide range be- tween light-hearted comedy and the deep- Er shadowing of the tragic.”"—Washingten tar. sistently used by negroes instead of ‘am | again showing the ne- | Rob the negro of his| One of the Old Man’s Best.
