Mr. Putnam belongs to the celebrated Putnam family, publish ers of books, the Detroit News states. He tried to be a lawyer and knows the law, but his fondness for books caused him to give up the legal pro fession and he now presides over one of the greatest institutions in the United States and is a better-known inan than 90 per cent of the lawyers in the country. Mr. Putnam takes as much pride in the collection o f music in the library o f congress as he does in anything else connected with it. When he became librarian in 1899, 250,000 pieces of music were cata logued. The collection has since grown to- 800,000 pieces and there is scarcely anything that was ever written or published in the way of music in any part o f the world of which there is not a copy in the library o f congress.

The son John is a section hand and a good one, Mrs. Doyle declared. She herself has had some little experience at toil, one of her first jobs being that of cook with the American forces in the Mexican war. She wa* then 16. Mrs. Doyle was bom in 1830 on the banks of the Illinois river, near Beardstown. “ Grant and I>ee and McClellan were lieutenants when I joined the army,” she said. “ A fter the war I was transferred to New Orleans on recruiting service. Then I went with the soldiers to California. Next I went to Nebraska, and afterward to Wyoming I don’t take much with this truck o f men army cooks. No man can cook as well as a wom an.

But there are algns today that France Is changing. One o f the great est signs o f late has been the revolu tionary and radical pronouncements o f such an authority on hygiene as the celebrated Professor Cartel of the Parts Academy o f Medicine, who Is now advising his fellow countrymen to forgeh the aged traditions. The professor points to Americans and Britishers to uphold his “ radical" contention that one may drink water In plenty, eat Ice cream, breathe plenty o f fresh nlr right around the clock and. In fact, do all the things In France that Anglo-Saxon foreigners do In their own countries.
