A man lenrns what make for the particular end ho has la view. A woman tuck away In her memory any Interesting hit of Information, and some day pro- diu-en It, to the surprlao of her mascu line rival. Tills habit make women especially valuable ns librarians. Here I nn ex ample of tho actual north of a scrap of knowledge. A few year ago n shabby old book was sent from n pariah library In Ktig land to be sold by auction In !ndon. It was seven Inches long and live wide. It consisted of thirty-eight leaves of vellum, on which were Inscribed the four gospels. It had four Illuminated Illustrations, representing the evangel ists, each seated on a stool, holding his gospel, and each having a circular gold nimbus. The book wo bought by the Hodle lnn Library for six pounds. Month af terward, when It came to be cata logued, a em was found written on the fly-leaf, containing a reference to the rescue of tho book from the bed of n strenm, where It had been dropped by n cureless servant, nnd where It lay until discovered by a passing knight. Of coune the poet attributed the re covery of the sacred volume to a mir acle. The rente casually referred to the fact that when the book was loat It wns being "conveyed to the king and fiueem "What king and queen, I wonder?" mused the librarian. "Why. a story like that was told of the gospels tielonglng to Margaret of Scotland," said hi woman assistant. Sure enough, a little research showed that there was scarcely a doubt that the book had belonged to Margaret. Queen of Scotland, who died In T003. This book wns fully described by her confessor more than eight hundred years ago. He related Its being loat In the brook, recorered and conreyed to Its royal owner, and used by her for many years. So the worn old book which the Ilodlclan bought for a song Is now one of the great library's priceless treas ures Identified by a girl's knowledge of a queer story In tho life of a queen who was also n saint.

Under the title "A Itllllon-Dollar Mining Camp." the city of Ilutte, Mont, which Is built on what Is probably the richest hill In the world. Is described In "My Huslne-t Friend." It Is Interesting to note how long tho big black butte was the laughing stock of miners who wandered that way In search of gold, nnd nlwnya failed to And It, until at Ust some man, wiser than the rest, selxed ti-tou the possibilities of the In exhaustible supply of copper and the result was the development of the wealthy community which makes merry Industry In the fissured bills and vol leys to-dny. It Is only during the last twenty years thnt Hutte took Its stand with the copiter enmps of the world, and dur ing thnt time It has produced one fourth of the entire supply. So largely doe the world depend upon Hutte thnt, should Its copper mines shut down for n terlod of three months, n copper fam ine would be exterlenecd nnd every In dustry depending on copper would bo paralyxed until Rutto could catch up again. At the three Montnnn towns of Anncondn, Itnsln nnd Croat Fulls, the Intter snld to Imve the greatest power next to Niagara, great nnelters nre busy day nnd night, thus taking from Hutte n small ercentngo of the smoke which has umdo It n strangling town for the unnrcllinnted.
