BOY SCOUTS PROVE
AID TO LIBRARIES iMiss Andrus Tells Library Pupils of the Benefit of Children's Clubs. That up-to-date librarians are not (concerned wholly with catalogy, clasigification and other technical processIts was Illustrated very forcibly in two lectures before the special students at 'the public library commission summer i i school for librarians today. The lec,'turer was Gertrude E. Andrus, of Seattle, and the lectures were on Boys' Iciubs and Girls' Clubs. Miss Andrus Stold of many interesting experiences of Iher own as children' librarian In ! Pittsburgh and Seattle and of the exjperiences of others engaged in similar fwork. ; "Boys are naturally gregarious," jaaid Miss Andrus, "they always organ!ie In some way. If the instinct to orjganize is directed along right lines, jthe result is a beneficial club of some sort. It may be a literary society, deIbating club, a single reading club, or ia club of some other kind, in which reading is a sort of by-product. If the Instinct is not controlled a "gang" is likely to be the result." i Considerable attention was given to !the Boy Scout idea, and it was pretty universally agreed by all the librarians present that the Boy Scout patrol Is an excellent kind of club, from the library point of view. It recognizes the boys natural instincts and puts them to use. It teaches good conduct and right thinking in a sensible sort of way without the least indication of preaching. At the same time it requires on the part of the scout the acgeneral information, a large part of which can only be obtained from books. This is where the library omes In. Many times the library, by organizing or helping to organize Boy Scout Patrols, is able to make readers land students of boys who have never .before acquired a reading habit for (anything but Diamond Dick and the jPenny Dreadfuls. But the best kind of library club is the simple reading club, one that has unlimited membership and is lead by the librarian or her assistant. The organization of such clubs is unquestionably within the scope of a librarian's duties. There are other clubs not so closely related to library work and Ireading as these, which can be made of (service to the library and which will help to further Its ends. Frequently p;he organization of a boy's club out of funnily youngsters will solve the probilem of discipline in a library, and it jls a good deal better, Miss Andrus Ithinks, to take time to bring about (such organization, than simply to send tb.e disturbers out of the library. One tmethod helps the boys, the other (drives them away. , Although she is a suffragett of the toctive variety that is a real voter of (Seattle, who knows already for which presidential candidate she will cast iher ballot in November Miss Andrus imade some remarks about women and :,glrls that might be unpleasant to the hvomen organizers. In the first place, she said girls are individualists. Everykhing is translated into the personal relations. Team work is impossible. iSecond, it is hard to make an appeal jto girls; their interests are narrow. At rthe age when boys are interested in everything under the sun, girls are concerned only about boys and clothes. Consequently a girl club is a more difficult proposition than a boys club. jBut there have been some successful jgirls clubs, interested in travel, social work, philanthropy, etc., which grew out of the librarian's suggestion, and fwhose work was largely with books tend reading. Miss Andrus closed by giving a long list of stories that were popular with Children when read aloud. f THE RISE OF NEW YORK. It Dataa From tha Time That the Eris, Canal Waa Opened. If we seek the original creator of landed wealth In New York we must look over the beads of Astor and the Goelets to De Witt Clinton, the man who In 1S25 pushed to completion the Erie canaL Up to that time New York waa not Inevitably marked out for the American metropolis. In 1S00 Philadelphia was actually a larger city, and Baltimore, with Its splendid harbor and its Inland river communication, confidently expected to grasp the nation's commercial leadership. But the Erie canal changed the situation In a twinkling. It placed the city in communication with Inland New Yorkan agricultural empire in Itself, whose wealth had previously flowed by way of the Susquehanna river to Baltimore and New York became the seaport for the agricultural states bordering on the great lakes. Until the Erie canal was opened It had cost $88 a ton to transport wheat from Buffalo to Albany. With this new waterway the cost fell to something mors than $5. A string of cities, several of which became large ones, sprang np along its course, all tributary to New York. Burton J. Hendrick In McClure'a Magazine. Unconscious Bravery. ! At a place called Anghin, about forjty miles south of Bangkok, a China I man and his wife cultivated a small i sugar cane plantation. The man bad been greatly annoyed by having his cane eaten by his neighbors' buffalo calves. Coming home one evening just ; at dark, he saw what he thought wai . one of the marauders at work on th cane. Stealing silently op behind it, , he- struck it a mighty blow with a 1 heavy club. The animal dropped without a sound. The Chinaman told hit wife what he had done and added. That calf will steal do more of my cane." In the morning he found that the "calf was a full grown tiger. He had killed it by breaking Its neck, Just .as the woman of Nam had done. And f John was so much impressed with hit own narrow escape that he took-te bis bed and was sick tevavwek.--Xeettai

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS.
Why Ws Tie a String Around a Finger to Remember Something. We speak of the association of ideas. We do not associate ideas in our mind, but we associate - the mental picture of things of forms and colors and other material qualities. We can form no conception of an abstract quality, as goodness, except in its association with a material thing. Every thought must have a material basis, and it is retained In our mind through association with some other object, the picture of which we have retained. There are some things so closely bound up in our existence or that have been reproduced so often that no effort is required to instantly recall them or reproduce them in our mind. Our name, our birthday or something that we know by heart and can repeat without an effort, are examples. Most things require an effort to recall them, and we recall a number of things and try to find one with which the thing we seek is associated. . In tying the string around the finger we associate the idea, the deed or the thing that' we want to remember with the string or knot. As this Is frequently seen, we frequently get the association between the string and the thing we want to remember, and this serves to recall it. New York American. A Visit From tha Bayleye. The servant at No. 1 told the servant at No. 2 that her master expected his old friends, the Bayleys, to pay a visit, and No. 2 told No. 3 that No. 1 expected to have the Bayleys in the house every day, and No. 3 told No. 4 that it was all up with No. 1 and that they couldn't keep the bailiffs out. whereupon No. 4 told No. 5 that the officers were after No. 1 and that it was as much as he could do to prevent himself from being taken in execution and that it was nearly killing his poor, dear wife, and so it went on increasing and increasing until it got to No. 33 that the detective police had taken up the gentleman who lived at No. 1 for killing his poor, dear wife with arsenic and that it was confidently hoped and expected that he would be executed, as the facts of the case were very clear against him.

"Men for generations have proved what the ballot cannot do," writes Anna Steese Richardson in McCall's Magazine. "Capable, even" brilliant business and professional men. armed with the ballot, have not been able to keep cities clean and healthful nor to run them economically and honestly. "The so called experts or officeholders, voted Into place by these clever men. have become, like unguided, unsupervised servants in an unguarded kitchen, slovenly, dirty and often dishonest The woman with the ballot will dlscover.that she must follow municipal servants into the municipal kitchen and see that her orders are obeyed. "At times she may even have to roll np her sleeves and tackle the work in her own efficient, unwavering, housewifely fashion. Let her refuse to do this and she will find that the ballot in her hand, as in that of her husband, her son or her brother, does nothiug for her city, sex or family." Learning.

RINGWORM
AN EASY AND VERY SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. Try thia Remedy at Our Risk. You know what ringworm looks like starting as a little circular patch of tiny pimples, which dry up into scales and are followed by another crop on the outer edge, thus enlarging tho ring all the time. It may be caught from other children, and from dogs and cats. Tincture of iodine is the old remedy, but we have a better one now Saxo Salve, our new skin remedy. Apply Saxo Salve a few times (as directed by the book in the box) and the ringworm vanishes. Saxo Salve so saturates the skin with its powerful, yet soothing ingredients, that the ringworm parasites are destroyed. Of course, Saxo Salve has many other uses. All kinds of skin eruptions and disorders, eczema, barber's itch and tetter yield to Saxo Salve. It is a wonderful remedy and we guarantee it most positively. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond.
