Library Costing $200,000 in Tenement Dis-

trictErected toMrs. Reid's Memory.

A beautiful library, surrounded on sll sides by

tenement houses. Is the memorial which Peter Reidof Passalc. N. J.. has selected for his wife, JaneWatson Reid, who died Severn 1 years ago. and thePtatlstics of the year during which It has beenopen show that It could not have been put any-

where where It would have been more appreciated.

The tenements are occupied mostly by foreign-

ers from all parts of Furope, and as soon as they

realized what the library had been erected for. theybegan to take advantage of Its privileges, manifest-ing a literary taste far In advance of th« Amerl-crna who ordinarily patronl«e libraries. They do

not tnke to light fiction, but want history, scienceand thßt sort of thing, making the. circulation of thebooks In all classes except flvtiongreatly abore theaverage In New-Jersey.

Icontinued givingan object lesson, "you Justtake the brush this wny. and paint up and downeach board, and that is all thera is to it." Biddy

WSARXED IN THKIR YOUTH.It Is curious what a wonderful hold habits and

Ideas acquired In early life have on people, even In i

their middle age. One would think that the manychanges and multitudinous cares and Interests that ;

absorb them, would entirely efface any childish jmemories, especially when, as is often the case, jthey are quite unimportant, and have no moralor even, particularly intelligent meaning or ln-flu'aco.

"You will laugh when Itell you what gives me ;

tlsa most uncomfortable feeling of prodigality and ireprehensible waste, in the household." said a Jmatron of mnny years' experience, "and that Is Iwhen I sea the candle end* wasted. Ican standanything bettor than that. Itell the. mutds always

to put fresh candles In the bedrooms, nnd to keep |

th» burned ones for kitchen and cellar use, and jalso for their own candlesticks. When Ifind, |despite all my directions, they often throw awayperfectly good ends when they clean th« candle-•ticka. It makes me very cross, and yet. In mostthings. Iam rather easygoing. Itall comes frommy having lived with an aunt for a few years, whotaught me that It wus h slntul waste to throwaway candle ends."

"Iknow JiiHt how ItIs." lnuj?hed the henrer. "forIfeel exactly the same way about rubber bands,

th« careless way they are snapped off i\ pare.or roll of papers arid thrown aside positively pulnsme. When 1 was young, rubber bands were ex-pensive, and Iwhs always tol.l to tak« care ofthem, and the Impression has remained Intact tothis day, although now, of course, there is no rea-son for it.""Ihavo always noticed." said a younger woman

wtio wn pre««i:t, "how It vexes older people whenyou cut a string. Instead of untying It. Isupposethat Is also the result of tradition. They look uponth« former ai a waste of good material, whlla Ilook upon the latter ns a waste of good time."

"It always annoys Tne to wee people take morebutter than they are going to use," acknowledgedan old woman who was one of the party, "and Iknew that feeling is entirely due to the nursery

rules when Iwas a llttlft child.""And only think." added a matron of fifty,"what

a creature of routine Iam. Why, Ialways end upmy prayers at night with 'God bless papa andmamma, and make Anna a good girl," nil going to•how thnt that habit is one of the strongest andmost enduring characteristics of our nature."

AMERICANS AND FICKI,ENESS.

"Ifind that Amerirans have a curious admixtureof qualities." remarked nn Englishwoman who laon a visit to the States. "In some ways, and Imust say In their best ways, they are pre-eminentlyAnglo-Saxon, with all the Btrong underlying fineprinciples and good sense that characterize thatstrain of their composite make-up. On the surface,however, Ifind them almost as volatile and fickleas the French. Take the various sports, for Instance—

how different the Knglish and Americans are inthis respect: Englishmen never givnup their games:they keep them in their respective places, Hndthey are permanent fixtures, while Americans takeup whatever happens to be the fashion with thegreatest enthusiasm, play the one game almost ex-clusively, carry it lo the point of excelling, andthen, for no apparent reason, drop it almost en-tirely,nnd turn their enthusiastic endeavors towarj j

something else. Tennis and golf are Instances ofIthe kind. At one time Iwas told the former went

Ialmost completely out. while golf ruled paramountat every chlb. Now Rolf, they say. is no longer

j fashionable, and tennis has had a great revival.j "As you say you are fond of polo." said an American '| woman to me th« other day. "you should have comaIover last year. Every one writs polo mad then, butj now there Is a sort of reaction, and ItIs not nearlyas popular.' Now that Just shows the trend oftheir minds -Just its certain men play polo, others

In Italy there once Jived a wloke.l man nam*dB»f|Q, who owned miles and miles of beautifulvineyards, but who would not i>ay the peasantsworking in them enoujsU wages to enable them tobuy food.

You may be very mire that Borgo as not lovedby th* i>oor men snd women and little childrenwho tolled during the long, sunny hours. In orderta fill his baskets with ( luMfr upon cluster ofthe beautiful purplo fruit. But Borgo did not carewhether they llk"d him or not. so Ion? as he con-tlnufd to grow rlch*r every year.

Among the peasants In Borgo's \-lney«'d thereworked a little girlnsmed B^ttlna. who wss com-
