A PUBLIO LIBRARY. At different times during past years the subject of a public library in Bloomsburg has been agitated, but no permanent results were ever reached. The trouble seems to have been that no organization was effected, and no general united ef fort was made. Without this, a public library cannot be started.and without permanent and continued support and effort, not from a few, but from many, a public library would be a thing of short duration, and would surely languish and die. A public library is unquestion ably a desirable and beneficial in. stitution in any town. This prop osition needs no argument to up hold it. There are in Bloomsburg three literary clubs composed of ladies, the Mosaic, the Century, and the Ivy, and these clubs have united in an effort to start a library. Committees have been appointed and are now at work, and a public tting will be held soon for the Yurpose of discussing the subject, and bringing it to the attention of the people. Whether it shall be a free library, or supported by mem bership fees, where it shall be located how money and how much money shall be raised to purchase a loca tion and books, and how and by whom it shall be managed, are all questions that must be considered. As this move is for the benefit of the public, its success will depend upon the interest manifested by the public. A fe' people cannot and will not bear a burden that should b? shared by all public spirited and progressive citizens. Therefore, when a public meeting is called there should be a large attendance. There is a move on foot to pro cure the old Presbyterian church for a library building. It has been offered by the owners at a reason able price, and for a comparatively small sum it is said that it could be arranged for a lecture room above, and library in the basement. But whether anything will be done will depend entirely upon the spirit with which the proposition is received by the public. Too Much Salt. A medical journal advises against the excessive use ot salt. It is first of all a perversion of taste the condiment destroying the flavor of delicate dishes if too pionounced. Furthermore, it is asserted that an excessive use of salt seriously over taxes the kidneys to remove it, and that many cases of derangement and disease are due to this excessive use. The salt habit, it is added, is easily acquired, and persons indulging them selves soon reach a point where noth ing is palatable that is not strongly impregnated with salt. Section i.

Few peaceable Americans realize to what extent the world is under arms. A trench statistian states that the total number of men permanently under arms is 4,250,000. If universal war broke out there would be 44,250, men ready to take up arms at once. Placed in one line the soldiers of the world could cover the equator right round the earth. To pass along the whole line one would need to ride in a express train at the late ot sixty miles an hour for seventy days. If the soldieis received orders to exterminate the rest of the population they would only have to kill thirty three persons apiece.
