Miss Browning was taking notes in order to cull the best points from the best branches and combine them in the building of the branch libraries which Indianapolis is to have. - I ""inspected" the branches from the viewpoint of the public, and found many things which appealed to me in many different branches. Of course, we found the usual quota of Hoosiers in these libraries. At Pratt. Institute, Brooklyn, we found Miss Mary W. Plummer, director- of the 'Library School. Miss Plummer hails - from Richmond, Ind., and has the honor of being the head of the most celebrated library school in the United States.

Miss Swayne is irresistibly funny and kept the audience in a roar all the time she was on the stage. Mr. Schmidt is a New Castle boy and all expected him to make good, because they knew he could do it. . The parts of "John Alden and "Miles Standish" were sung by Ira Law and Allen Grimes, both of Terre Haute, who appeared in Prof. Taylor's production when It was given there. They are both all that can be asked in the characters and have excellent voices. Frank Pence, the well known local basso, was "Governor Bradford" and filled the bill. G. C.

PHONE 1121 OLD MISS MOON III A TOTAL ECLIPSE This Will Occur on Thursday And Will Be Very Plainly Visible. SUN IS TO HIDE ITSELF ON THE SEVENTEENTH OF NEXT MONTH THE GIVER OF . HEAT WILL BE IN PARTIAL SHADOW MUCH INTEREST. Washington, May 31. Two interesting spectacles in the astronomical world will occur during the coming month. These events will be eclipses of the moon and the sun, the former on June 3 and the latter on June 17. The moon will rise totally eclipsed and its totality will last about an hour, while the sun will only be in totality near the North Pole. Of chief interest will be the lunar eclipse, which will be -visible over about half the earth.On June 3 the moon will emerge from the total phase at 9 o'clock, Eastern standard time, and will leave the shadow at 10:14 p. m. It continues in the penumbra or partial shadow till 11:21 o'clock, p. m., but this latter phase is not an interesting one. Farther west the moon will rise later and emerge from the shadow at 8 o'clock, central standard time. According to the astronomers at the Naval Observatory here the next recurrence of the sun's eclipse will be one which will increase in magnitude at every return during the eighteenyear period until a maximum i3 reached, after which it will decrease. The solar eclipse, which occurs on December 12 next near the South Pole, is decreasing periodically, and will shortly disappear from the earth's surface. The next eclipse of the sun which will be observed in totality in this country will occur June S, 1018, and will be visible from Oregon to "Florida. How Ke Knew.

MRS. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

When Mrs. John Quincy Adams took the reins of the Washington social life as mistress of the White House, she was accepted as a natural leader, and her wit and personality, which had been acquired in foreign courts, made her a general favorite. Mrs. Adams was the last of the women of the revolution, for the presidents which followed here were the product of a different period of history, and their wives showed other in

In spite of Mrs. Adams's general adaptability to the social surroundings and her great enjoyment of its functions, still her greatest desire was to be done with the responsibilities of the White House and retire with her husband to a quiet life.

"Doctor," raid the soldier, "whatdoc3 that mean?" "It means death." said the surgeon calmly. How long can I live?" asked ths soldier, whose mind was perfectly clear. "Until I remove my finger," said the doctor. The snlJier asked for pen and paper, wrote his will and an affectionate letter to his wife aud when the last thing was done said quietly: "Let it go!"

SCHOOL FOR MOTHERS. An Institution Which Gives Needed Instruction to Young Wives. A train out of the Grand Central tattoo. New York city, for Hartsd&Ie recently carried some interesting passenger. They were tenement bouse mothers, some of them scarcely more than girls, and each had a two-weeks-old baby In her arms. Tbey weqe for the most part factory girls who bad jumped from the workroom into marriage and knew little about taking care of babiesv The faces of the bable were white and wan. Occasionally children of two. three or maybe four years tagged at the heels of the mother. Had you asked the women where they were going they would have said To school," not to a school like tbote Dear their city homes to which the older children go, but to a school for tenement mothers which George H. F. Schrader has started up among the bills of Hartsdale. New York state. It Is called Caroline Best, in memory of Mr. Schrader's mother. It is not only a sanitarium where young mothers can go to rest and recuperate; it is also a school where the Ignorance that kills some o.000 newborn babies each year in th New York tenements can be overcome by knowledge of a scientific sort. It was two years ago that a cottage was secured among the hills of Hartsdale for the establishment of Caroline Rest. C4BOUX1 BUT SAXTTASnW. , Here some ten young mothers were domiciled and cared for. Amid healthful surroundings tbey grew well and strong again, and their babies thrived. Now the cottage has been replaced by a picturesque English structure which accommodates thirty . mothers and their children. There Is a wide veranda where the convalescing mothers may sit beside the big clothes basket a in which, comfortable sod happy, the babies rest. As you enter the houpe . there Is a reception hall In which on dull days, before a cheerful fire In the big fireplace, the mothers can sit. A sun parlor is another feature of the place, and there Is a nursery for. the older children. It is the schooling which these jnothers get that is to help tbem most. There Is a well defined course followed by the pupils, a curriculum as carefully planned as that of a normal college. On the day a mother arrives with her baby she is simply allowed to rest and adjust herself to her new surroundings. The next morning. If she Is able, she gets her first lesson, which consists of bow to wash the baby. "You must remember," explained the nrtrw in charge, "that many of the mothers who come here are little more than girls themselves and have gone right from the factory into their own bome and motherhood with no more preparation than a child. One young mother I have here now Is only fourteen, and you can imagine bow much be knows about bringing up ber child. "The first thing the mother is taught Is the use of the bathtub and basin. It seems almost Incredible that It should be necessary to teach this, but you know in many of the tenements the use of the tub Is not considered necessary. "After learning bow to wash the bathtub and other utensils the mother Is taught to bathe and dress the baby nnder supervision. She is instructed In the care of the Icebox in which tbe milk is kept and sees how nil the dishes used to prepare the baby's food must be sterilized. Freparing the barley mixtures and food comes next It happens very frequently that a young mother cannot come to Caroline Rest unless she brings some of tbe younger childrea with her. - So hese. tbe runabouts, as tbey are called, are also looked over, and if any trouble exists it is used as an object leson for the mother, so that she may avoid a repetition of It in the l:ttle new baby she brought with her. -One of the 'matures of Carc"m F.est Is that the time of tbe motber'f eta; is unlimited. She can remair two, three or six weeks, as the need mty be. and some have remained threr months." Pitted Dates and Cheese Are Delicious Pitted dates masked with creaa cheese which bad been mixed wit) minced nuts were dressed with mayonnaise and served on lettuce leaves at t luncheon party recently.

' When sewing many women place a' needle In tbe machine and use that one needle for all kinds of work with all ' kinds of thread, from No. 90 machine thread to tbe very finest.
