So that, larce as the John Carter Ttrown collection is with its nearly is.rtt'ft volumes, much remains to n ■ done, with the co-opera i ion of .scholars and collectors everywhere to Five it that transcendent importance which was the orictr.r!oy's Idea. The habit of furnin.c: over valuable works to this li brary, on the principle that it can make best use of them, is an established one among collectors. In the latest report of the librarian a larce number of re- »* ..,..n acce-sior... b.v Rift are reported, along- with the purchase of many treas ures of urive value. The John Carter Brown collections arc thoroughly accessible withal, as everyone finds who wishes to consult Ihe volumes in a beautiful building at the southeastern corner of the middle campus of Brown University.

The city of Kingston, which is re ported destroyed, was rich in history dating almost from the time that Christopher Columbus first set eyes upon what he considered was a part of the East Indies. It was founded by a handful of sturdy refugees who hao lost their all through the destruction of Port Royal I in 36S", at that time the chief city in all the Antilles. Within the land-locked harbor, just back of old Port Royal, Henry Mor gan, than whom no fiercer pirate ever roved the seas, used to make his ren dezvous after a successful voyage over the Spanish Main. Here, too. it was that he paid off his men, and cleft the skull of . many an unfortunate who dared take umbrage at the small pay ’for their lives of pillage and death. It was front the harbor of the King ston of today that this samo bucca neer performed that marvelous feat of daring wherein he and his wild crew stoic up under the guns of the fort that frowned from the heights of Port Royal and. cutting the cables of His Britannic Jiaiostv’s frigate, let her drift to sea while the crew slept When tlie crew awoke It was to find the mur derous pirate and his men in charge, the hatches battered down and His M*1esty*s sailors prisoners of war. Today a visitor to the Island of Ja maica. i" he gazes far into, tlie pel lucid waters of the bay. may see a mystjc city crumbling away, the por- poi-as p'avlng through the belfries of a church spire on the one hand, the sun- fish swimming leisurely through what was once a habitation of man, and here and there f.he flying fmh hurdling their wav in the shoals over the bat tered walls of the old fort. It was in 1C02 tha: the first earth- auoke known to history shook into the sea the cirv of Port Royal. It was then tb.- ti' -', fii nnclal ci'y >f the Antibes. The shne’t came earlv in June There we. in the citv at that time probably - re-, . ns. The shock came at ndd- .1 'v. when the ;i art was aflush with life and trading: when the Ctribs had brought into the market niace their loads of bananas and nines and man goes ami oranges. Xature Is lavish o'" her goods oil this island. Men has little to do but reap the reward. Xo snot on earth is more fruitful than that section immediately contiguous to the citv that is now reported destroyed. Upon T '"nt dav long ago there ea^e i terrific shock, and ere many of the thousands who were in the" market place could reach safety Port Royal eye Ped Into the sea. Such '= o,- c.at the ealamitv gathered * --' at is now Kingston. It was sever ■ 1 miles in'e-d. at t'-*e farthermost point of the pretty harbor. Here they camped and worked tin'll thev lwd rea-»d "imm- selves another citv. fairer and greater ,nd r’C'er than the'" old home Tn ITT’, age'" In 1724 and for the third time in 1751. the city was swept bv hurricanes that tore warehouses and dwellings from their foundations and hurled them like chaff for many miles: but there was always left stand ing a vestlee of the new city—enough to give men a new courage to rebuild and a new desire to beautify. The is’’ml grew apace in wealth and crops and prosneritv. It was looked upon by (treat Britain as her favorite colony. It was pot until 1732 the* the i hand of fate was aagin. laid heavily upon its people. On the night of February S. 1702. a l!t*le fire was discovered on the out skirts of the citv. There was hur ricane wind blowing. Th* 1 ci’y was built l-’r**e!y of tpo resinous w ods of rernl thousand dav. until t^orp had been nr’iif on the bill, rfar from the habitations of men. r.n.non new mounds of eiay. 1 Of the rest of the hfstorv of King- < ston it mav.be said that it has figured I largely of 'ate in the attempt to have J the Island of Jamaica annexed to the l United States. There were debates In i the local assembly halls upon this sub- ; joct. Years back, when the blacks revolted ; against the Government of Great Brit- .! ain. Kingston was the heart of the re bellion—the Maroon Rebellion. It was j there that the proposed confederation j with Canada was denounced and voted | down: it was the scene of the famous ; regimental riots of 1S01, when, at the I race course one day, the troops mutin- ; ied and did murder: it was there that, in ISO”. Kingston celebrated her fifth : anniversary of birth as a city by de claring for the abolition of slavery— 1 about fifty-four years before Lincoln’s i proclamation. At Kingston were wlt- ! nessed the executions of Paul Bogle ; and the maroon. George William Gor- j don for encouraging the black rebel lion. There the British Government j first tried Government ownership * of ! railroads. ; And it was to Kingston that Secrc- | tary of War Taft and Admiral Walker ! went, in 1904, to consult with the Gov- ! ernor and the Colonial Secretary, with ; a view to securing Jamaica laborers to i dig the Panama canal j The city of Kingston is located on | the south coast of the island. The . harbor is one of the prettiest and ! safest in the world. Then another thing about home life, i Do not become n gruir'l r—ffiere is ; nothing so irritating to the people you live with as a continual ’’finding fault’* * with anything and everything. One should I alwavs lock on the chee.rfnl side of life, { 'oi-gettlng all its little unple-sautuess-s. | always ready to enjoy everything—and | don’t oh! please don’t be bored!’ Do i you know it is onlv lazy, indolent pconlo I who are bored! It is a terrible word— j I always shudder when I use it. You ; must always be ready to help those a round you: you must al wa VS he busy— r.ot fussily busy, but quietly; there” is a great difference between the two. Yon should not w>j- "Oh. I’m so so busy just now." when any one rsks you what you are doin’*. People should s"c you are busy without vour telling them so. chicken on Sunday for dinner, roast beef on Monday, roast mutton (mas querading as lamb) on Tuesday, chicken fricassee again on Wednesday, roast pork on Thursday, fish on Friday and corned beef on Saturday. There's never any variation of the routine. As for the cooking—well, it isn’t like yours, mother. Aft*’r dinner some of the boarders go into the parlor for a while, and usually there is a little music. Occasionally Madame G.. nvho is a voice culturist, and our star boarder, sings something in Italian. I am told that she used to be an operatic singer, but I think that must have been a long time ago. I can't even guess how old she Is. for she might be almost any age between 20 and 60. She has a fat. wheezy pug. who wears a pink ribbon sash (not around his neckl in the house, and a cloth coat ami little cloth boots when he goes out. It's true—every single word of it! Rut it's bedtime, and I must be up with the early birds in the morning— si goodnight, mother mine. MARGARET. I THE LOCAL MARKET.

The loss to the By Auriol, in Brooklyn Eagle. Home life for girls, if well ordered, ' is the best training of character and ; the severest test of good nature. Girls nowadays are not satisfied to ; live quietly at home; they have a call ! to go out and work Ip the world. : Now, I wish to say nothing against going out and working. We should all have some settled work in life, to take up our thoughts with other things be sides our own little cares and troubles, fancied or otherwise, which naturally occur if the mind has no other thoughts to dwell upon. But remem ber. "any longing for higher things or regret for the past which produces restlessness, discouragement and in action in the present is surely an undi vine discontent.” But though it may be necessary for so many girls to find work for them selves. there are still a great number who have to remain at home, and it is about them wo arc going to "talk” this week « After Leaving School. When girls have finished their school room days, and when that im portant time has arrived for "putting up the hair.” then other duties. come to take the place of the geography, rending and spelling’ books, and it Is then that the voung girl must stand forth in her true colors. Whatever were her faults before, they were always magnanimously put down to "school girl awkwardness.” All stupid little habits were excused by saving: "Oh, So-and--'o will outgrow that: at present she is only a little school girl.” But when once she has bade good-by to the inky desk and the copy books, then the eyes of her elders are turned toward her to see in which standard she will now take her place. Then come into practice the rules of home life. A girl who has pleasant manners at home will naturally be pleasant and agreeable to outsiders. For a true gen tlewoman manners should not be put on and taken off with our Sunday-g.;- to-meeting frocks and hung up with them in the cupboard at home. They should always he worn, as a becoming and graceful garment, neither pro nounced in style nor attracting the vulgar gaze, but modestly worn and seen only by the careful observer. Be Tactful and Tidy. It is in your home life where your character shines forth. You should be: ' Quick to perceive a want, Quicker to set it right; Quicker in overlooking Injury, wrong or slight. There always is. and no doubt always will be. among the home circle little troubles and irritations, cross words s imetimes. and perhaps now and then ill-natured remarks. But the lines of care and irritation may be smoothed awav by the gentle hand of tact. Cul tivate tact at home. tVith a large number of brothers and sister* the tactful member may impede the com- . ir.g catastrophe of stormy words, and turn the flow of conversation into more congenial channels again. Girls are rather apt to think that ■ "anything will do for at home.” Any- ommended ine to a boarding house she i used to know. ’ Well, the lady who conducts it told i me that her price for the cheapest room in the house—a top-floor back hall room—was $6 a week. It is never j vacant. But she said she had a friend who might be able to accommodate" mo for So she sent me here, where I found a skylight room on the top floor, which I finally obtained for $4.50, though the landlady wanted $3. There is no outlook, of course, as the skvlight Is the only window there is. There is no heat, either, but the landlady, who is really a nice, kindly woman, has lent me a little oil stove, which I light when I need it. The oil I have to buy. and it costs 19, cents a gallon. The room is kalso- mlned, and the furniture consists of a small bed. . bureau, washstand and rocker—all mid and rather worse for wear. Also, there is a piece of old carpet which serves for a rug. There is no clothes closet, but behind the door is a shelf with some hooks In it and a chintz curtain tacked along the edge, and there I hang my frocks and coats. Xext to the board bill comes carfare —60 cents a week: and there is ab solutely no way of avoiding that ex pense, because the office is "way down town, beyond walking distance." Most of the girls in the office buy their lunch, some getting it from a n'ait who eon’es around every morning and others going to a cheap restaurant nearby. But as X can’t afford to do cither I take a sandwich with me from the house, and eot it at my desk. Then I go out and fill in the rest of niv lunch pa thy between emplovpr and emplove and then compare the remits with those that are effected by a force of p’p'i who look upon their’employer as their natural enemy rather than their friend. It is a well-known fact that a susnie- wlll do more to dlsrimt a commercial or manufacturing establishment than al- niost any oiher influence. The lack of confidence, that he shows in his men to impart itself to them and the effect is quickly shown In their work. Fesrlng to speak to one another, or act naturally when he is present, thev make up for lost time during hi* ab sence. and more time is lost than could easilv he computed. Moreover, the knowlerls-e that their efforts are not appreciated tends to act as a wet blanket upon their ambition. If they work it is not because they are anx ious to accomplish anvthing that is praiseworthy, but merely because they know that a certain amount of labor must be completed within a given tune if they are to continue to draw their pay.
