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. Be it enacted, &c,

4,250,000 Men Under Arms.
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.
