THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. r- FURNISHED FLATS TO RENT. IlicKiit VKilution In tits Haiti Film ltuf liii'nx In Nnw York. A recent vtirlatloo of (he real estate business In Now York haa bwn the putting upon the market of furnlHhml flats. Household furniture suitable, for the requirement of ordinary flats ts now abnormally cheap. The , big Michigan concerns havo almost revo lutionized the furniture business, and it U poHHlble to equip a email Hat at almost nominal coat. Some enterpris ing Individuals, taking advantage of this, hire from a landlord either a wliolo house or so many of its flats ad may be vacant, for the term of a year or more. The house or the flats are furnished In cheap but substantial style, and then tenants are advertised for with the result that It Is often easy to secure them for furnished apartments where unfurnished (lata would be a drug In the real estate market. There Is a large Bohemian class In New York made up In part or artist, singers and actors, who have occa sion to remain here for perhaps a month or two at a time, seldom longer and a furnished flat meets with near ly all their requirements. Again there are many persons who have not money enough to furnish a flat as they would' like, but who do not object to pay ing an additional sum per month for a flat already furntBhed. Tho new system has both Its good and bad features. Many disorderly persons seeking the protection which, n flat gives them, and which they could not receive or expect either in a hotel or in ordinary furnished rooms, pay liberal prices for a furnished flat in a building where no embarrassing questions are asked and no trouble pome regulations are established. Tho great majority of the new furnished flats of this order are in the central part of town, and they yield to tho real estate speculators a very large profit upon the money invested In fur niture and fixtures-. Among the good featuros of tho present furnlbheil flat system Is to be put at tho head tho item of protect ing from breakage. It is an old say ing that three removals are as bad ns a lire, but actually they are a great) deal worso, for against loss by fire there is prndually some recompense from insurance., whereas from losses by breakage la moving there Is none. The damage to furniture, more es pecially to the fragile ornaments which are a familiar part of every New York flat Is very great, and this Item amounts to considerable in a year to those of a roving or dissatis fied spirit something not unusual among the tenants of small flats la this city. A familiar figure In many of the cheaper flats in New York is the in stallment plan collector, who Is a fre quent and unwelcome visitor. Persons furnlFhlng their own flats on the In stallment plan are haunted by the epectaele of this callous and unsym pathetic intruder, whereas those who hire flats already furnished are freed from the annoyance. In some parts of the city where the competition for flats is no longer active, landlords have found It profitable to furnish their own flats. The system of furnished flats is a natural outgrowth of real estate conditions In New York, and it is claimed by real estate agents that it pays very well. New York Sun. Snrirlc,l tt'ft Old Mnn. Richard ltot deposited 705 In the Bowery Savings Bank between 1835 and 1849. Between 1S33 and 1S35, $753.89 was withdrawn. When the last draft was made the depositor's book appeared to be overdrawn. $1. There were due Hoe, at that time, however, dividens amountlug to $100.01, which had not been entered in his passbook, and the bank really owed hliu a balance of $99.01. Tho balance went on accumulating dividends uutil 1875, when it became a dormant account, and ceased to draw Interest. The amount then duo Roe was $313.25. Efforts were made with out suo eta to find him. He had be come very poor, was too old and feeblo to go to work again, and was friven a home by his sons at Rutherford, N. J. Roe always intended to repay the $1 he thought he owed, but never did so. President Townsend, of the Dowery Savings Bank, in looking over the books the other day canto across Roe's account. A new search was instituted and Roe was found at Rutherford. He was told to tall at the bank with his old account books. Shortly afterwards he did so, accomcanlod by his grand daughter, seventeen years old. "I suppose It's about the dollar I owe your bank that you want to see mo," said the old man, addressing Mr. Townsend. lie was astonished when told the facts. "GuesH thcHe batik people know what's right," he said to his grand daughter. "I never was much, on rlthmeilc." He pocketed the $345.25, shoolt hands with the bank officials and re turned homo. New York World. "Hermit on the Riinnhlick." A Vienna correspondent writes to the London Standard that the famous Peter Leshner, the "Hermit of the Sonnbllck." whose solitary residence of seven years at an altitude of over ! ten thousand feet in charge of the ob servatory Instruments on that moun tain, was described some time ago, Is dead. He married in January, 1894, and soon afterwards quarreled with the Vienna Committee which supports the Observatory, and was dismissed. He took to tho profession of a moun tain guide at Ruuris, but was always In low spirits. His European notori ety caused him to look down upon the guides, peasants and foresters, who were his daily companions, and he soon camo to bo detested by all his neighbors. Kar and N'wfi Jnvfeli. According to an aid Spanish history of the conquest of New Grenada, the wearing of ear and nose Jewels was a privilege of rank among the nattvos. This was geuoitilly the cafe among all savage tribes, and Its prevalence is the sclent Iflo reason for the atavism which leads American woman to piorce their ears for rings long after they have abandoned the practice of stick ing a pin through their noses to in dicate tuolr high 'aiding in aocluty. LIBRARIES OF THE WORLD. Now Ynik'n I'nalllnn Shoulil Ilia I'rnpnat C'unmtllilulliin lln l rt rtnl, It has been assumed by some per sons that tho proposed consolidation of i ho Astor and Lenox libraries with the Tllden Library would arsuro to New York a library larger than that po:i!vsod by any other city. This Is iv nil.stnk. The Astor Library, Incor porated in 1849, has 250,090 volumes; tho Ienox Library, incorporated In 1870, has 70,000 volumes, and the be quest of Mr. Tllden, It Is computed, would permit the purchase of 200,000 volumes without duplicating the booka in the possession of either the Astor or the Lenox Library. This would bring tho total of books In the throne Institution? to 520,000. But the Parla Library, which, in respect of the num ber of volumes, stands at the head ot all others, has now 2,100.000 booka The Imperial Library In St. Peters burg has 1,000.000 and the Munich LU bniry has glO.000. The Royal Library in Berlin has 800,000 and the Dresden Library 525,000, so that New York, un der the proposed consolidation, would rank seventh as compared with Eu ropean cities. At the present time New York does not rank high for libraries, even, among the cities of the United States. Tho Boston Public Library, started by, the benefactions of Joshua Bates, a Boston banker, who lived in London, and aided afterward by George Pea body, has 597,000 books. Mr. Bates' contribution was $50,000, and the cost of the land and building of the Boston Library Library was $305,000. The Chicago University has a library of 380,000 volumes. The Newberry Li brary, on the north side near Lincoln Park, has 175.000 volumes. Both are exceeded by the Congressional Library In Washington, established In 1802. It contains 395,000 volumes and 150,000 pamphlets, and the present rate of In crease is 15,000 volumes and 0,000 pamphlets a year. One of the boasts of tho conductors of this library, rich er than any other in American books and books on American subjects, la that it is one of the very few fire proof libraries in the world. Following New York, should the proposed consolidation be effected, among the libraries of Europe would come the Royal Vienna Library, 450, io volumes; Copenhagen Library, 4U0, (iOO. library of the Vatican in Rome., 350.000, and the library of Oxford Uni versity 300,000, besides many valuable manuscripts. Tho Importance and utility of a library Is not, of course, to be gauged wholly by the number ot books on its shelves. A well-assorted and Judiciously mado collection of 200,000 may be of much greater value than a collection of 2,100,444 Indis criminately chosen. In Europe much, importance Is attached to various edi tions cf a standard work, whereas in tho United States editions count for little; It is the book Itself which is re garded. Now York may not stand as high as some foreign cities in respect to the total number of books In any one li brary, but, on the other hand, the op portunities for general reading are very widely diffused. The Mercantile Library has 240.000 books, the New York Historical Library 100.000, the New ork Society Library 90.000, the Columbia Collge Library 100,000, the Malmonides Library 40,000, the Cooper Union Library 35.000, the Young Men's Christian Association 42,000, and the oung Men's Christian Association 42, 000, and the Mechanics' and Trades men's Library 95,000. There are In all the libraries of the world exclusive of private libraries and bock store collections 40.000,000 volumes. In 1815, exactly half a cen tury ago, the numbir of volumes in all tho public libraries cf the world was 20,000.000, so that In the last half cen tury tho number of books may be said to havo doubled. This Increase Is In grout measure due to Ihe remarkable cheapening. In the ensr of bookmaklng. Ii;tltlri!f:illy this cheapening has serv ed to retard the growth of circulating libraries, for when a novel which costs $1.25 can now be purchased for twenty, five cents, the incentive to subscribe to a circulating library Is much re duced. New York Sun. Mrs. (irvelnjr'a IllKrlpllur. "Whllo I have tho floor," said Amos Cummings, whllo in a story-telling mood tho other day, "I might as well tell a story about Horace Greeley. I worked whh Greeley for years. He always called me 'Asa,' never could remember 'Amos.' One day I went out to see Greeley at Chappaqua about soiuo , newspaper business. The old gentleman saw me coming as he stood looking out of tho window, and opened tho door himself. " 'Como in here, Asa,' ho said, in his high, meuly tones, as he led me Into a fashion of parlor. "I followed him Into the room, and as I was going to remain only a mo ment laid my hat, gloves and cane on a centre table. Greeley nnd I had just Immersed ourselves In a talk when Mrs. Greeley swept into the room Now, Mrs. Greeley was what one might call a spirited woman. The moment she entered the door her eyes fell in dignantly on my trousseau as I'd piled it up hat, gloves and stick on the table. Without a word, and before I could speak to her, she wooped on the outfit like a hawk, and the next mo ment threw them out of the window. "Then she loft the room, without pausing for speech, as one who had taught somebody that the hall waa the place for hats and canes and sim ilar bric-a-brac. I was inclined to got a trifle hot; a man naturally might who sees his hat pounced upon and cast Into the shrubbery. But before I could get up or say a word Groeloy stretched out his hand In a deprecatory, way and cheered me with the remark. " 'Never mind her, Asa; she thought they were mine,' "Afterward, however," concluded Cummings, "when I recalled what Groeley's hat used to look like I had my doubts." Dandelion Tntile.

Miss Clara Barton, the famous army, nurse and director of the Red Cross Society, sold the other day: "I Lave often wondered where the cool cour age of men comes from; where common ordinary men, trained to do nothing llko war, get their nerve; where stran gers to firearms, strangers to foeA, strangers to everything warlike, find the courage to face death as bravely as soldiers did during the war. There were mon. perhaps no more cowardly than others, who from sensitiveness of temperament, suffered more. I do not think mere brute daring Is the highest sort of courage, but one who had the experience that I did among soldiers would readily recognize that there is a great deal more moral force In courage than physical." i I asked Miss Barton If she ever knew a soldier during the war to die of homesickness. "That Is a question by Itself," she replied. "Homesickness, or nostalgia, is a most Important factor in the treat- ment of the sick In hospitals. While I of itself It may not be quite sufficient to kill, It no doubt complicates other conditions. When a soldier, or any person, gets homesick, it destroys the natural Inclinations and functions, and it may destroy the appetite. Even ' an animal may be so homesick that 1 It will not and cannot eat. Thus the j foundation Is laid for other diseases. ; Something else sets in and produce I a permanent or fatal illness. Now, i homesickness is the cause of that. A, soldier may be attacked with some thing else without realizing that he la homesick at all. He Is all right when he is running around with the boys but If he takes . cold and gets sick or some disease attacks him and he finds himself down he begins to think of home, and then nostalgia follows. It either produces Illness or aggravates it. Now, the one important remedy for such Illness Is to send that soldier home. I cannot say that I ever saw a soldier die of nostalgia, but the rwv son that I didn't wits that wherever I discovered that disease was likely to work mischief I urged all the power I had upon every authority I could reach to furlough the patient. When, a man Is extremely homesick he has no desire to live and then no mattwr how skilled tho surgeon he eunnot save him. It ts Impossible." Chicago Rec ord. An Idpnlpnt Lawyer. A lawyer with his client called one day at the office of a gontlman who Is considered to be one of the loading mon of the Philadelphia bar. The lawyer had an important case and he wanted to take the legal big gun In as advisor. He explained his business and said he and the client would be back in the afternoon. "I won't be here then," said the legal giant. "I have an en gagement at 3 o'clock and I won't be here after that hour." "But there Is a $5,000 fee in this for you," explained the younger lawyer. "Can't help It; I won't be here. You will have to come to-morrow." "But my client can't come to-morrow." "Well, I can't break my engage ment." said the senior. After some further talk it was agreed that a meet- ; ing be held that night. That after j noon, having nothing else to do the young lawyer ana his client went to a ball game. The first man they saw Inside the grounds was the great lawyer, who was hurrahing for the "Phillies" with all the vigor of his lungs.. That was his important en gagement. Needless to say the law yer's practico nets him enough money each year to make him independent.- Philadelphia Inquirer. Tunable Writing 1'lld. A portable writing-pad th"at will prove a never-failing source of delight to the fair summer traveller has for a foundation a piece of stiff pasteboard made to tit the top of an ordinary ta ble. To this is attached a strip of green felt, with pendant ends pinked around tho edge, and to each end is rtltched a cross-piece of felt divided into sections, serving as receptacles for the disposition of writing paper and unanswered letters. To the pad prop er strips of felt of varying sizes for the reception of envelopes, postal cards and all the essentials of ordi nary correspondence are fastened with small brass-hen dod tacks; while for securing the blotting-pad four three cornered pieces of felt are nailed at the right distance apart. For the sale keeping of the ink bottle a narrow strip of cardboard, covered with felt, j Is Joined round, and sewn to the cover, a similar contrivance being convenl I ently placed for the rocoption of the penwiper. Tha Lake or lllnod. Every polar expedition and whaling vessel which visits the Baffin Bay re gion puts in at Yaureke Bank, so as to allow explorers and seamen to visit the celebrated Lake of Blood, Of it the author of "My Summer In the North" says: "It Is a lake of consider, able extent, lying only a few feet above the level of the sea, and appears of a deep dark blood red. Care ful examination proved, however, that the water itself was as pure and clear as possible; the red effect being due to the fact that the bottom and sides of the lake, as well as the tew stones which wore scattered about In It, were coated most perfectly with, the red snow plant. In some places, where the water had evaporated, the wither ed red plants on the soil and rocks looked exactly like dried spots of blood." An Actor's MUtaka. An amusing story was told some years ago of E. A. Sothern, a famous wit and actor. Upon a certain even i ing he was invited to two entertain ments, one for children, and the other a reception for grown people. Fond of children, Sothern decided to go to the party given for the little ones, and thinking It would be a great Joke to go Into the parlor on all fours and roar ing like a boar, he did so, much to the amusement of the guests, and his own subsequent unhapploess, for once in . the middle of the room he looked up , and saw that he had made a mistake ( in the house, and had played bear for the grown people and not for the chll I dwfi. Harper'i Touag People, . , , i li "rim Sfnrnih. Thoro are several pretty creature who live In the water, and are classed as "fishes," yet who do not look like the fishes wo usually know. One of tho most common and familiar of them is the starfish. There are several kinds of starfish, some of them being very beautiful, with long, feathery arms. The com mon starfish, which you have doubt less seen. Is a five-pointed creature, his shape, of course, giving him his name. These fishes are soft and flabby while living, but when dead and dried they present a brittle and shell-like appearance. They vary in .le, from tiny creatures an' Inch across to twelve and fourteen Inches In size, or perhaps much larger, but this size la that ordinarily found on near-bj( coasts. The starfish manages to walk along the land by the aid of numbers of tiny feet on the under part of Its body. It not only walks easily, but Is said to stand up occasionally on one ot Its points and survey the scenery, but M we have never seen a starfish do thai we cannot vouch for the fact. Starfish, so naturalists tell us, lira upon mollusks, and are specially fond of oysters. But when the oyster de clines to come out of his shell, in of der to provide a dinner for Mr. Star fish, that gentleman has a way of tak ing him whether the oyster wishes to come or not. Our naturalist says: The starfish lays himself' down on his victim, and, folding his five arms about it, holds it firmly in place. Then he gradually pushes his stomach out through his mouth, and wraps It around the unfortunate oystsr. Whe ther some fluid of the stomach fore as the shell open Is not known. But the result Is the securing of a dinner for the starfish, and the death of the oys ter." One of the peculiarities of the the starfish is that a new arm grows whenever one Is destroyed. Even if half the fish bo destroyed, the missing part will be replaced, as good as ever. , Official Kmblema.
