A curious little building is situated at Pineblufi'. N.C., and is believed to be the smallest public library in the world, Pinebluif is only a small place with a population of fewer than 100 in Summer, and when the ladies of the village decided that they ought to have a public library, they found themselves without a building suit- able for the purpose . Finally. a gentleman offered them a band stand which he had built in the hope- that Pineblulf would soon be- come a city. and the offer was accept- ed with thanks. By giving enter- tainments and so on, the ladies Were anle to raise funds to purchase mater- ials to fill in the openings of the band stand. and generally fit it up into a snug little building. Over 500 books have been given and the tiny library, of which Pineblufl" is very proud. is now in full working order.-â€"VVide \Vorld.

ThlS is not done to kill germs. but to des- troy all animal and vegetable life in the soil so that weeds will not be springing” up along with the flowers and worms eating their way thmugh the wooden boxes. The sterilizing plant consists of a large bin with steam pipes running through it about four feet apart. A- long these pipes there are holes every few inches. The Soilâ€"which is sod. plowed up and left to decay for a year â€"is dumped in. Then the steam is turned on for half an hour. At the end of that time the process is com- p1et_e(_l. “It’s simple enough,” said Charles E. Heite, as he explained the process. “But ene thing: has to be avoided. If the soil is heated too much it becomes uselers. Some of the elements are de- stroyed by excessive heat.”--Kansas Uity Star. It was recently reported from Ger- many that there was a little town within the Empire in which there were no taxes. The town possessed benefactions, the revenues from which enabled it to pay its way without the intervention of the tax gather-er. Cutting down trees and selling them is sufficient to provide a livelihood for these simple people. whose tastes are so modest that, they may be termed bv some uncivilized.â€"-London Globe. France never likes to be outdone by anything German, so a Paris conte1n~ porary has set itself the tasx of find- ing a parallel. Something more than a parallel has been discovered. for not only are there no taxes but the timbers on the communial lands are sufficient to grant each person a small annulty. This happy land is Montmarion, in the Midi. There are seven electors in the hamlet. so to a- void anything like rivalry the seven retnrn themselves to the local council. TERRIBLE NEW WEAPON N. Y.

The matter is settled by the following despatch received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the (u‘rovernor-(u‘renera]:-- “Simâ€"I have the honor to transmit to your Royal Highness a copy nfa letter in regard to the flag which should be used by private persons who are British subjects. “I should be glad if you would be good enough to cause the public to he informed that, the Union Jack is the national flag of Canada. as of all other parts of his Majesty’s dominions, and may be flown on land by all British subjects and that of the red ensign. with the arms of the Dominion of Canada in the fly, is intended to he used only by Canadian merchants vessels.” A country doctor. reti’u-ning from a visit in the small hours of the morn. ing, in the time of the. body snatchers. had to pass a secluded burial ground. in which a deceased patient had been interred the day before, When he reached the wall he. saw a horse and trap standing unattended on the road outSide. Looking cam iously over the wall he saw that two men had just disinterred the. coipse. Standing in the shadow of the wall. he saw thrm bring the body and place it in a sitting position on the seat of the trap. So that, when they drove awav, the body which they had wrapped in a dark clock, would in a dim light look like a third man, sitting between the. other two. Then they got over the wall aâ€" gain to fill in the grave. The doctor lifted the body down from the trap. laid it under the wall and seated him- self in its place. After a short time the two men got over the wall again, threw their spades into the back of trap, seated themselves one on each side of him, and drove off. Presently 'one of the men said to the other; “the body seems to be warm still.” The other replied : "So it is.” Then the corpse said, “\Varm ! And if 3011 had been where I have been for the past twenty-four hours you would be warm too!” The two men leaped with a vell out of. the trap at opposite sides and ran for their lives. WHAT IS THE BEST Lady \Varwick leads off with ‘Marry at any age, so long as there is any real love.” Mme. Sarah Frand says that “the ti me to marry must vary accord- ing to temperament." “Mrs. Kendal. confesses that her own views on mar- riage are strange and weird. “All should marry in their own class of life, their own professions,” declares the famous actress. “They may be happy. but when they marry above their position or below it the world suffers as well as themselves.”_ A number of well known men and women conuibube their opinions of what, is the “11ght age for marriage.” ‘leuv .1 Mme Bernhardt would say to' the man : “Look for a, wife who will be your companion.” To a woman : Seek a, man whom you can trust to be a sympathetic protector.” Lack of Marl, at Shallow Lake \Ve understand that in the crmx-sze of a few days the plant of the Canada Portland Cement ()0. at Shallow Lake will shut, down as to the producing of cement: for a short space of time. \Ve believe that, owing tn the high water- on the lake, the men have been unable to g:L out after the marl.

To suit the t-avnh-y. five inches was taken off the rifle and the reach uf tho- infantx-v soldier with the bwynne! was thus shortened.

A change of considerable importance will he made in the calibre, which in lbe new lifle will he .276 instead nf .393. An advantage in velocity is expect- ed from this change, as the bullet will be lighter.
