The day before I had injured my ? foot slightly by stepping on a sharp piece of wood which protruded from a fallen tree. There were still some unused strips of cedar bark in one side of my lean-to, so I made up my mind to try my hand at a pair of moccasins. Using the heaviest of the bark I wove a sort of foot covering. As I m wove I fitted them to my feet. I know ~ I had a better fit than thousands of civilized women who walk the city streets in shoes with high heels and pointed ends which squeeze tneir toes all out of shape. ^ For ties I wove strands of bark. which I tied over my Instep. They were clumsy to walk in at first, but I soon got used to them, and they were a protection to my feet. I made several pairs. While I was finishing off my first moccasins I heard a rustle in the * bushes down by the spring. I peered through the trees and saw a red deer going down to drink. I made a slight motion, and immediately her head shot up. She had seen me. M I watched her a moment, and then, as if not interested, I went on with my work. After a short time I lifted my head and looked again toward the spring. She was still gazing straight at me, standing transfixed. Then I beheld an interesting thing. Farther back some distance in the open timber was a white fawn, as immovable as her mother. The fawn was a little beauty. So still did she stand that she looked as if she were chisled out of pure white marble. w I turned DacK 10 my worn agum, uui I saw the red deer move slowly on to the spring. The little white fawn, however, did not budge. As I looked again at the old doe she scarcely paid any attention to me. * She knew that I would not harm her. But the fawn wasn't quite so sure. "How are you this morning, old lady?" I shouted down to her. Up shot her head like a flash. The fawn wheeled about, and bounded back a few paces; then, seeing she was not pursued, turned again and became once more statuesque. "You aren't scared of me, are you?" I went on. Then I turned away my head and made believe I was very busy. Presently the animal began ? drinking. Then she leisurely joined the fawn and together they disappeared. At almost exactly the same time the next morning the pair appeared at the spring again. As before the deer watched me closely for awhile, with one ear forward and the other back p The Author1* First Shoes Made of the Inner Lining Bark of the Cedar. ward. The white fawn kept closer to its mother today. As the days went on, they came with marked regularity. And it got so I could walk about the camp and talk with them while they drank and fed around the spring. They were great company! The 0 white fawn was a beautiful creature. Such animals are freaks of nature and are the most persecuted inhabitants of the forest. Their conspicuous color is a mark for every other animal of the woods, as well as for the hunter. W The regularity with which animals come to the places like this is most remarkable. In the days that followed I had many interesting conversations with these woodland creatures. Even the white fawn had grown used to me. There is something more to tell about these animals, but just at present I want to describe how I obtained a welcome change in my diet. Monday it had rained on and off, but Tuesday it began to clear and get colder. I left my lean-to early in the morning on another exploring expedition. I followed the trail of least rem sistance, striking off occasionally into the tangles and deadfalls to cut off a bit and then winding back to the same game trail, which I knew turned in that direction. When I say "I knew," I do not mean that I had seen it before, but I could tell when such a trail would swing to the right or left by the lay of the land. I made another turn in the trail, which led down a little incline toward another spring. I caught sight of a fox slinking off into the bushes just beyond the spring. I gave a little squeak to try to bring him back, but he was too far ahead. So I kept on down to the spring, where I rested on a fallen log. I picked a spruce bud and began to chew it. I chewed buds and barks a great deal during my two months in the wilderness and I feel sure that for ^ this reason alone I was able to go for long periods without eating solid food. There is unquestionably a great deal of nourishment in these things. I chewed the alder, cedar, maple, birch and the bark of the mountain ash. ^ I also ate roots which were tender and palatable. Kvery one knows what goldthread is. There was a lot of this in the woods. It is nourishing and healing for the mouth. Sitting there on that fallen tree, I : WILDERNESS KNOWLES & Co. was suddenly aroused by another rustle in the leaves. It was a spruce partridge. I had seen partridges many times before. I knew it would be easy to catch this bird. The spruce partridge is the tamest bird in the woods. It is easy to catch them. They seem so stupid that a man can nearly walk over them before they take flight. ' VV line X i Cttiiii-u me uiiaiiwa ui suing over and picking him up were remote, I knew of another almost sure i way to get him. I made a slip noose of cedar lining bark, attached this to the end of a stick, and, cautiously approaching the tree on which the partridge was perched, I carefully held the noose out in front of him. He moved to one side, but made no effort to fly away. His curiosity was aroused and he began to watch the noose intently. As I brought it a little nearer without the slightest hesitation' the bird stretched his neck forward and ran his head into the noose and was caught. There is nothing new in this method. Every old woodsman and guide understands the process. During the weeks that followed I Willed several nartrideres with mv bow and arrow. I made some arrows out of hornbeam slivers. Then I ground some small stones into arrowheads and lashed them on to the notches on the ends of the sticks with cedar strands. On the other end of the arrow I put feathers from the blue heron. These feathers made the direction of the arrow true. Altogether I got about ten birds during the experiment by means of the noose and my bow and arrow. Since coming back to civilization some one has asked me if I didn't have difficulty in picking the bird clean. I had to laugh at that. A partridge doesn't have to be picked! To prepare a partridge for roasting all you have to do is to make three ( movements or the hand, xn iaci, one movement will do it. First you take hold of the back and breast of the bird and tear it in two. In one hand you will find the breast and legs and in the other a lot of skin and feathers. Pull the skin down over the body and throw it back. Having disposed of the back, head and entrails, you will have left the legs and breast, ready for roasting. After I had done this I raked over my fire and placed the bird on a crotch stick to roast. In spite of having no salt that partridge tasted better by far than anything else I had had to eat in the , woods. 1 I have mentioned the lack of salt , ?lmoa nlrpflrK'. but haven't KOTIP , into details about its not affecting me. I missed it and missed it greatly, but ( purely from a palatable standpoint. ( The lack of it seemed to have absolutely no effect upon my physical con- ( dition. I didn't really need it. From , what I observed I should say that the ] use of salt is nothing more than a < habit. It is used, in my opinion, not j because the system needs it, but because it makes food taste better. i Animals in their natural haunts are forced to go without salt indefinitely. | I believe their greediness when they ( do find it in the salt licks is due to the | taste rather than to the actual need < of it. i The following day was Wednesday, - * ^ J ?l.;~? 1-wl.?\? the 13th or August, anu my un umaj. 1 shall never forget that day. It was one of the hardest of all I spent in the forest. It was hard because of the memories that passed in endless array across my mind. Armed with birch bark reports and sketches, I started for the cache on the outskirts of my domain, where I had made arrangements to leave such things for the outside world. This cache was known only to two guides, who came there once a week at sundown. I always made it a point to visit the cache early in the day, so I would be far away by the time the guides arrived for the birch bark I had left. The secret hiding place was located 1 in the twisted roots of a blown down 1 spruce. No message was ever put in for me. 1 I had given orders to the guides not to 1 do this, impressing upon them that anything whatever left for me would 1 spoil my plan of keeping absolutely out of touch with civilization. Soon after breakfast on Au,. 13, I , went after some birch bark down at Spencer lake. I had crossed the Spencerail and was following the western shore when I heard something ahead of me. Looking through the bushes, I saw a deer and a fawn feeding. I was just about to speak to them when I saw a wildcat sneaking along a log which hung over the water. I stood still and watched. The cat was watching the deer, although evidently it didn't see me, for in a moment it backed down the log to the shore , again and sneaked off. All at once a scream?an unearthly scream behind me?brought down my attention from the skies. I never heard a scream like it before. As I ran back in the direction of the sound it came again, this time to my right. I turned and went in that di- , rection. After a time I heard it once more, louder and more terrifying than , before and apparently on the left side , of me. There was something horrible about it! Presently through the fallen treetops I saw two eyes. They disappeared in a second. Again I heard the rustle under the treetops lying on the ground and. jumping down, I rushed around to one side. There lay the little fawn on its side, panting and bleeding. As I drew nearer to help her to her feet the frightened creature staggered up and ran a few paces. But her strength was gone, and she staggered and fell. ( I looked around for the mother deer but she was nowhere to be seen. In a few seconds the little creature scrambled to her feet and staggered into the thicket. I had arrived in time to see the wildcat measuring the distance between the fawn and the thicket beyond. Going on through the trees, I reached the shore of Spencer again. The first thing that caught my eye there was the mother deer and the fawn swimming the narrows. They disappeared in the woods on the opposite shore. (To be Continued). FACES UNFAMILIAR Personal Appearance of Many Historical Characters Unknown to Us. In the search for a portrait of Thomas Willett. the first mavor of New York, the committee from the City club visited nearly every print dealer in the city in addition to scores of private collectors of America. But there was no portrait to be found. Any one who has ever attempted to make a collection of the pictures of the big men of early New York soon realizes that there are many blanks. For instance, of the four Dutch governors Peter Stuyvesant is the only one of whom we have a correct portrait. Of Peter Minuet, William Kieft and Wouter van Twiller there is abso- < lutely nothing accurate, although various caricatures have appeared from time to time. in ImiA O oHIl ami _ x lie; oaiuc to u uc ui a- oiiu mv/ic cuunent New Yorker, William Bradford, ( the first printer, who founded in 1725, | the New York Gazette, which was the first newspaper printed in the prov- ; nee. Bradford was so prominent a | man and so active for years, both in Philadelphia as well as in New York, i that it is rather surprising not to i lave something worthy of being called , i true portrait. If there was, perhaps s fiis features might be on the tablet j ?rected on the site of his printing of- ] Ice, now of the cotton exchange, at < Hanover square. i The lack of an authentic portrait of ] Nathan Hale, the martyr spy of the \ Revolution, is somewhat better known ilthough the sculptors MacMonnies, j Partridge and others have not allowed | :his to restrain them from depicting < the features of the young soldier in ( stone or bronze. Of Colonel Ethan Allen there is no known portrait, and < the same is true of the doughty war- ( "ior, General Nicholas Herkimer. i One of the heroes of Bunker Hill, i Zfol. Richard Gridley, has left no por- ( trait. He was the artillerist and en- j ?ineer who built the fortifications the i light before the battle. Other promi- i lent Revolutionary fighters of whom i 10 pictures exist are Colonel William i Ledyard, the defender of New London, who was killed by a British officer : when Ledyard surrendered the fort; I Gleneral Thomas Conway, leader of the i lotorious cabal to depose Washington ] from the command of the army in i 1777; Colonel Seth Warner, who was , prominent in the attacks on Ticondemea. and Crown Point and in the bat- i Lie of Bennington; General Seth Pom- < ?roy of Massachusetts, and General i Samuel Holden Parsons, one of the < board which tried Major Andre and i was appointed by Washington as the j first judge of the northwest territory. No accurate portraits exist of two of ] the lifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, John Morton of i Pennsylvania and John Hart of New i Jersey, although a portrait which is i said to be that of Hart hangs in Independence hall in Philadelphia and is salil 10 nave ueen piiiuit-u iiuw a > lature. There is nothing extant of the fathpr of George Washington, Augustine i Washington, nor have any portraits been discovered of Colonel Hall, father of Mary Washington, mother of the i general, or of John Dandridge, father of Washington's wife, Martha Washington. A portrait which a great many col- i lectors of old New York material would give a good deal to obtain is that of Samuel Fraunces, the West Indian tavern keeper, whose best known house was the old Fraunces' tavern, now owned by the Sons of the Revolution, restored since they purchased it a. few years ago to its original condition. It is on lower Broad street, on the corner of Pearl street, and the famous long room in which Washington took farewell of his officers has been restored as closely as possible to its original form. There is no portrait of William ; Cunningham, the heartless keeper 01 the provost jail in a corner of City Hall park during the Revolution. Betsy Ross, the celebrated maker of the first stars and stripes, has no portrait, i Captain Miles Standish is among those ; who have left nothing of their personal appearance, nor is anything known of the intrepid French explorer Joliet, who traced the sources of the Mississippi. 1 Others of more or less note of whom , there are no portraits are the old English dramatist, Christopher Marlowe; Richard Savage, another well known English dramatist, who died in 1743; Marquis Duquesne, from whom Eort Duquesne, now Pittsburgh, got its first name from the French: George Clinton, royal governor of New York from 1743 to 17r?3 and father of the British general in the Revolution, Henry Clinton; Colonel John Henry Cruder, General Oliver de Lancey, Governor William Tryon, General John Forbes, Baron Dieskau, General Robert Howe and Bourrienne, Napoleon's famous secretary, who wrote an excellent life of the great French emperor. ?New York Times. The Main Question.?A man was arrested on the charge of robbing another of his watch and chain. It was charged that he had thrown a bag over his victim's head, strangled and rubbed him. There was so little evidence, however, that the judge ciuickly said: "Discharged!" The prisoner stood still in the dock, amazed at being given his freedom so soon. "You're discharged," repeated the Judge. "You can go. You're free." Still no move from the prisoner, who stood staring at the judge. "Don't you understand? You have been acquitted. <5et out" shouted the judge. "Well." stammered the man, "do 1 1 have to give him back his watch and chain?" FOOTSTEPS OF THE FATHERS As Traced In Early Flies of The Yorkvllle Enquirer NEWS AND VIEWS OF YESTERDAY Bringing Up Records of the Past and Giving the Younger Readers of Today a Pretty Comprehensive Knowl- I >dge of the Things that Most Con- ' cerned Generations that Have Gone Before. I The first installment of the notes , appearing unaer mis neaaing was published in our issue of November 14, 1913. The notes are being prepared by the editor as time and opportunity permit. Their purpose is to bring into review the events of the past for the pleasure and satisfaction of the older people and for the entertainment and instruction of the present generation. SIXTY-EIGHTH INSTALLMENT (Tuesday Morning, May 14, 1861). Editorial Correspondence. Sullivan's Island, Friday Evening, May 10, 1861. Dear Enquirer:?Your first semiweekly issue came to camp yesterday evening; and every one so far as we have heard, is pleased with the change ?regarding it as an evidence of enterprise, and of a desire to meet the wants of a reading public. We are disposed to compliment its tidy and graceful appearance. Gen. Beauregard has issued orders for no one to be granted a furlough to go home until his return. So, for the present you may look for no more of us in York. The immediate cause of this order is, we presume, the blockade of this port. The Niagara, the largest and best provided man-of-war belonging to the United States navy, is expected tomorrow; after which time no vessel will be allowed to enter the port of Charleston, while those now in the harbor will'be given a reasonable time to depart. It is not expected that this will lead to a fight between our forces and the blockading vessel. The onehorse movement is simply designed to shut off Charleston from the commerce of the world! We had the pleasure a few days ago of visiting the city again; and employ- ( ed ourself with visiting the museum of Charleston college, the Orphan home, and the offices of the Courier and Mercury. To speak of these institutions? for they are all essential institutions of the city?as we should, would be a tresspass both upon our time and your space. Almost every object to interest the curious or philosophical student of nature, can be found at the Museum, from the tooth of the Mastodon or jawbone of the whale, to every variety of animal, fish, bird, rock, mineral or precious stone. The visitor can always spend an hour here of unflagging enjoyment. The Orphan house at once appeals to and excites the noblest sentiments of our nature. The house is a large fourstory building, and the grounds are laid off and cultivated with an eye both to usefulness and elegance. In the foreground a venerable statute of William Pitt attracted our attention. We believe this distinguished Englishman had something to do with the founding of this institution. There are 360 children?230 males and 130 females?under its fostering care. We were shown the "prison" where they are kept for a week and fed on bread and water, if they run away. We were also permitted to pass through the sleeping rooms, the romping room, the bathing rooms and the library, and everywhere the pleasant and sweet faces of the children greeted us at their work, or studies, or play. We were especially gratified at the cleanly and cool appearance of the dormitories, and the cozy little beds ranged in rows and covered with spotless white or checked counterpanes. After touring through the house and imbibing the ideas of order, neatness, innocence, diligence, industry and humanity suggested, we gave a pocket full of candy to our fine little guide, j and left; satisfied in our heart of hearts that the Orphan house is one of the most enduring monuments of praise to the city of Charleston. As for the Courier and Mercury, they rank by common consent?the one for its news, the other for its politics, and their able advocacy?with the first class papers of the whole country. We are obliged to both offices for kindnesses, which were all the more agree- j able inasmuch as neither knew they were accommodating "one of the least of their brethren." It is in illustration of that hospitable and courteous treatment of strangers for which Charleston is so justly famous. Sullivan's Island is four or five miles long, and in no place more than onehalf or three quarters of a mile wide. The seaward beach is all sand, as smooth almost as glass, and when the tide is down, making a margin from 50 to 100 yards wide, is a delightful place for evening drives or promenades during the summer season. It is a place of considerable resort. The village of Moultrieville, occupied chiefly by summer visitors, is about ihe size of Yorkville. The Moultrie house, which is ^ open only through the hot weather, will accommodate 500 persons handsomely; and was built expressly to meci me warns 01 mose wno resori here for health and pleasure. Let these facts be reflected on by any of our friends who may do us the kindness to i feel anxious for our health if we remain here. The Broken-Bone fever prevailed in Charleston last year; and, it is said, that dreadful scourge, the yellow fever, k is its invariable next-year's sequence. ] If this be so, the city will be infected f this summer. But the island is free. A 4 native case, we are told , was never known here. Two tomb-stones at the j cemetery are marked "Died of Yellow j Fever," but these cases were imported. The city, too, has taken every possible k precaution to stave off the plague. Rig- ( id quarantine regulations will be put ^ in force, the first of June. No suspect- l ed vessel will be allowed to go up to t the wharves, without previous inspec- f tion by the port physicain. We hope r and pray that while Lincoln blockades us by sea, the yellow fever will not cut us off from the up-country. 1 We saw a sight yesterday evening * on the beach which reminded us, rather comically it is true of the celebrated * "bull fights" in the tournaments of f Spain and imperial Rome. Two bovine belligerents?one a great, long-horned brindle, the other a milk-white, thickset, spirited little "muley" without horns?encountered each other on the sand, and fought amphibiously for about two hours. Quite a party of volunteers collected around them, and they were soon nicked "Our JefT" and "Old Abe." "Old Abe" fought with a stubborn tenacity of purpose, worthy of his hard-headed prototype; while "Our Jeff' administered his "pushes" with a vigor and directness, which made the powerful horns of the former entirely useless. We all looked upon the bellitrerents as admirably Dersonl Tying Abe & Co., and Davis & Co., and their pitched battle as ominous of the Issues of our present struggle. We hope the length of the fight will not be typical of the future. After a two hour's heat, "Our Jeff," worried with the stubborn persistence and "severe" inactivity of his antagonist, and further ;xasperated by two dogs at his heels, ?ave "Old Abe" a "lunge out" which whirled him around, and then a blow n the side which sent him full tilt imong the volunteers, scattering them n every direction to make room for lis flight! Even this catastrophe to ;he drama may possibly be repeated ?re long in Loncoln's sudden departure sonje night from Washington. We think, however, for the present it least, that both the north and the south are inclined to act on the defensive. The north under the ruse of proacting Washington, is collecting, armng and drilling an army of subjuga ion. The south is preparing to aeiena >ur homes and firesides and her soil 'rom invasion. Neither is ready to go 'orth "conquering and to conquer," and >oth wish the prestige of fighting an inemy who has assailed them. The :onsequence may be no battle until ater the 4th of July when the northern :ongress meets. The action of this body vill go far to decide whether the war s to be long or short?bloody or not. Rev. H. H. Durant?one of the most loquent preachers in the S. C. conference?has been appointed to, and has iccepted the chaplhincy of our reginent. He came down last night to the ;lty, and win, we suppose, preacn ins Irst sermon to us on Sunday. Very cordially. Our Corporal. (To Be Continued). THE USE OF SLANG. Each Social Level Has Its Own Choice Phrases. Everybody knows, or thinks he cnows, exactly what slang is, says a -.ondon letter; but few would be able o give off-hand a definition in two or hree words. To say, as one dictionary loes, that it is "low talk" or* "a lanjuage of the lower classes" is incor cct, for Society with a big "S," has its >wn characteristic slang. The army, navy, stock exchange, ?ven the theological colleges, could :ompile a fairly large dictionary of .'!* ir several slang terms. The fact is ilang is a sort of irregular verbal coinige which certain sections of society lnd useful?in some cases interesting nerely as a relief from the starched " r.9 o/?o/lamln raonoptn hili X V aiiKU?i&t; ui auauviiuv ?, is when the Bishop of Oxford horriied William Cory by saying "Let me lave a squint at" the plans of a spire vhich the bishop of Salisbury was :ontemplating. At Oxford, as most persons know, he undergraduates have a curious :ustom of shortening words and tackng on "er" at the end. Breakfast is jrekker, lecture is lekker, sitting room s sitter, bedroom is bedder, rugger md soccer are rugby and association 'ootball. Jesus college for some untnown reason is still further corrupted, becoming Jaggers, and the Maryrs' Memorial, erected in memory of itidley and Latimer, becomes the Marner's Memugger. "Wekker" is waistcoat and the nornintr rollcall is the "roller." Money is naturally the subject of nuch slang, and is variously known as 'blunt," "oof," "rhino," "chink" (very ?xpressive), "the needful," "the ready," itc. Coinage has its slang terminol)gy, a six-pence being a tanner? jrobably from the gypsy word "tano," ittle?a shilling a "bob," a sovereign t "quid" or "a thick 'un." A slang word which has lately over un English-speaking countries is 'swank," and there has been much liscussion about its derivation. The vord itself is old, having been used 'or generations in Scotland, with the neaning of "supple, lisom," springy, ipt for work. Burns uses it in this lense. But the current slang meanng is "to swagger, boast," and some tymologists, derive it from the Gernan "schwanken," to waver, sway rom side to side, as a person with iU'ncrtrorintr tni i t This, however, Is rather improbable, 'or "schwanken" has for the most part sther connotations, rather in the di eotion of lightly hovering than of swaggering. It is more likely that "swank" is a :omposite word, invented by compounding "swagger" with "rank," 'pink" (high jinks), "pink" (of coniition), or some such word, on the principle of Lewis Carrolls portmaneau words, snake and shark amalganating in "The Hunting of the Snark." Thieves have a large slang vocabuary because they tind it useful to lave a language of their own. In Hen ey and Farmer's dictionary the slang synonyms for "thief or "swindler" >ccupy three closely printed columns. Police magistrates became linguistic xperts in this department. The late Montagu Williams once isked a prisoner how he had spent some money which he admitted having stolen. The reply was: "I 'ad a point >' mahoiranv. two doorstops and a stinker, that was a steever; and then a London mystery and a slice of spotted dain, and that's how I spent the iprat." (Stout, slices of bread, penny :igar, threepence; sausage, current oaf, loot). "I understand," said Wiliams; "seven days." It has been said that there was no dang in any European language until he middle of the fifteenth century, vhen Francois Villon wrote his balads in a Parisian thieves' lingo. Hut his is not to be taken very literally, 'or slang must always have existed nore or less. A farmer living near Brentwood, i England, went to a moving picture ihow in that town during a visit and earned by a picture shown on the , icreen that a fire had in his absence , lestroyed the stables and sheds at his , arm.

Milton Robb of Colesvllle, had a thrilling experience, says the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, when a swarm of wild honey bees he was attempting to capture, settled on him after he had dislodged them from the limb of a tree, and two and a half hours he clung with one arm to the tree, forty feet above the ground, while his brother ran two miles for a ladder and help. Robb and his brother, Sherwood, went two miles up the mountain to a tree bearing a big swarm. Milton climbed the tree to the bee limb and began to saw it off, holding the limb with one hand so It would not drop too suddenly. He miscalculated the weight of the bees, for when the limb was about severed he could not hold It with one hand and It swished downward against his body before It broke and dropped to the ground. The queen bee was knocked off and iook reruge under his left arm, which he had flung around a limb of the tree to hold himself from falling. Instantly the bees followed their queen and swarmed on him, covering his left side, shoulder and arm and partly encircling the tree. He did not move for fear of being stung to death or insensibility, as in the latter case he would fall to death on the rocks below. Sherwood Robb started on a run down the mountain. He returned with a ladder and Oscar Hendricks and Elmer Broon. They assisted Milton, bees and all to the ground. There one of the men threw the blanket around him and pulled away as many bees as possible, while Hendricks tore off Robb's shirt with the rest of the bees and told him to run. He could not run, however, and after all the bees had been switched off with towels, the men started down the mountain, supporting Robb between them. A physician had to be summoned, as his face, hands, arms and legs were swollen. Both Broon and Hendricks were stung, but did not require medical attention. THE GOVERNMENT LIBRARY Its Management is Characterized by Perfect System. More than 2,000 libraries, institutions and individuals throughout the United States and abroad are having their books catalogued for them by the government, says a Washington letter. Catalogues of books In the library of congress were first printed in book form. About 1864 cards were substituted. Not until numerous experiments were made and cards of various sizes, texture and thickness were used was the present simple card 7i-12i centimeters, adopted as the "standard size." In 1897 the library of congress, with the support and indorsement of the American Library association, conceived the idea of printing its own cards, and at the same time printing enough cards for any library that might want them. In 1900 a branch of the government printing office was installed in the library, and within a year, cards were being printed for all the current accessions to the library and for all books that were recatalogued from the old cards. In October of 1901 a circular was sent out announcing that the library would sell any card which it had printed or might print. In the beginning orders for cards were restricted to libraries; now there is no restricting whatever. When a volume is received by the library of congress, either by purchase or gift or through copyright, it is catalogued in the latest and most approved manner. If a book catalogued is popular, desirable, or liable to be luunu in oiner nurariw ur purcimaeu by them, from 100 to 1,500 cards are printed for it, and the extra cards are kept in stock. What are called "depository sets" (one copy of each card printed) are now found in more than fifty libraries, chosen for their location, accessibility, etc. A number of bulletins and handbooks have been issued giving detailed directions for ordering cards and the classes of books for which full sets ire available. Thousands of copies of the same book, acquired by hundreds of libraries, must go through the same process in each library. Now all this work and expense is saved to those Institutions. It has been estimated that the cost of getting a single book Into a library catalogue is from 25 to 55 cents. In addition to printing and distributing cards for other libraries, the library of congress has been printing since 1910 a few thousand titles per year from copy obtained or books borpnumii from other American libraries. tt also maintains a number of "traveling catalogues"?collection of cards on history, government documents, agriculture, etc.?that are sent about the country to assist libraries in cataloguing their books. If a card is ordered by number (which entails the least labor), it is 2 cents, and for each additional card 1 cents. The proofsheets which are first struck off cost J25 a year, or 12.50 a month. The entries on these sheets are classified by subject, so that it is possible to order any one class at a cent a sheet. Th?? number of different titles in the collection is approximately 600,)00. During 1913, 45,000 new titles kvere added. The stock of cards now >n hand is more than 40,000,000. The subscribers have Increased from 200 n 1901 to more than 2,000 in 1914. \bout 300 individuals and firms are now ordering cards for bibliographical purposes. The returns to the government from the sale of cards have increased from about $4,000 in the fiscal year 1901-02 to about $55,)00 In 1913-14.
