Dead Works,

A noćrot was let out at the annual meeting of the London Library by Bir Edmund Gosse. It may even have been disturbing to the many authors in the audience to learn from this distinguished critio what it is that the great Library does with books that have ceased to interest anybody. The Library, it seems, koops what Sir Edmund Gosse. called "a Lethe chamber from his ac count it would, be described more accurately a purgatory-in which obsoleto books are kept for a time

The German Payments.

Figuros furnished by 'Mr. Par- ker Gilbert, Agent-General for Reparation Payments under the Dawes plan, show that during the first ten months of the first year's working of the plan (down to Juno 30) the total revenue re- ceived for reparation purposes was 754,291,883 gold marks, or £37,764,614, says a Paris message. Payments in kind amounted to 344,910,000 gold marks, or nearly half the full totul." Of this amount, 278,223,956 gold marks represented delivery of coal, coke, and by-products, while a further 65,356,000 gold marks, was repre- sented by the cost of transporting those commodities, these two

DR. HOWARD'S RELEASE.

STAFF OFFICER TO BE SENT

AS HOSTAGE.

Peking. September 14.-Chinese authorities are planning to send a staff officer to the bandit camp as hostage for Dr. Howard, according, to a telegram to the Legation from Harbin. It appears that the bandit, chief who expected to arrive at Hunchuan last week in order to enter into final negotiations for the release of Dr. Howard has changed his mind-Reuter.

The London Library never sells took. The really worthless books; it seems, are banished to. the Seychelles Islands as gifts to the Carnegie Library there. A library of worthless books is an entertaining idea. One rather envies the Natives of the Sey- chelles Islands.

Lord Balfour was in the chair at the meating. A saying worth remonboring, came from the famous surgeon Sir John, Bland- Sutton, who in proposing Mr. Kipling's election as vice-presid- ent described the Garden of Eden narrative in Gonosis as

a jungle story." What will Dayton, Ten- nessee, say to this?

ABOUT A SHANGHAI BABY And Baby's Own Tablets.

No matter whether it be in London, Paris, Toronto, New York or Peking, Baby's Own Tablets, the Canadian children's remedy, prove a real friend once they are introduced into the home.
