Kindness builds ap;<lb />abuse destroys. Kindness wins ;<lb />abuse defeats. Kindness _ pro-<lb />duees love; abuse produces<lb />hatred.

They find that books<lb />printed on pulp paper have not as<lb />long a period of existence as those of<lb />former times. If the book is much<lb />used it soon assumes a ~~dog-eared�<lb />appearance and its ordinary life is<lb />but a year or two. If it is but rarely<lb />read the heat of the library seems to<lb />act upon the leaves, rendering them<lb />brittle, andin a few years rendering<lb />the volume worthless.<lb /><lb />~~] find the most trouble with the<lb />German books,� said Librarian<lb />Whelpley, of the public library, the<lb />other day. ~~Nearly all of the books<lb />secured by us from Germany are<lb />printed on pulp paper, and they<lb />donTt last as long as the books of the<lb />olden time. They first commence to<lb />get brittle on the edges. The reader<lb />unconsciously tears away a part of<lb />the broken edge of a leaf and before<lb />many months a new volume looks as<lb />if it had been in circulalation as<lb />many years as it has months. The<lb />German manufacturers of pulp paper<lb />do not seem to be able to make as<lb />good a grade of paper as the English<lb />and American manufacturers. Prob-<lb />ably the American pulp paper is su-<lb />perior to that manufactured in any<lb />other country. Our manufacturers<lb />seemed to have acquired a degree of<lb />perfection in their articles that none<lb />of the others approach in any de-<lb />gree. They use more clay in the<lb />manufacture of the paper than the<lb />others do, and that renders their<lb /><lb />paper heavier.<lb /><lb />*~But even at the best the life of a<lb />pulp-paper book is not a long one.<lb />A man beginning as a boy a collec-<lb />tion of them would probably find,<lb />when he reached three-score and<lb />ten, that his earlier collection had<lb />been seriously injured by age, and<lb />that the pages were so brittle that<lb />they could not be handled without<lb />breaking. I can cite one case of a<lb />book printed on English pulp paper<lb />in this respect. It was a copy of<lb />Matthew HenryTs commentary on<lb /><lb />a: the Bible. It had been in the library<lb /><lb />thirty years or so and but rarely<lb />At the end of that time,<lb /><lb />tinder, so brittle had they become.<lb />~~Librarians have a great deal to<lb /><lb />®%i contend with in prolonging the ex-<lb />pi istence of a boo<lb /><lb />,� continued Mr.<lb />Whelpley, ~~that the uninitiated do<lb />not dream of. There is always a<lb /><lb />B| certain amount of heat in a library,<lb />iwhich has a damaging influence on<lb />RI the paper in books and their binding.<lb /><lb />It 18 hard to believe, But itis a Fact)<lb /><lb />that since the introduction of elec-<lb />tric lighting in the library we find<lb />the life of our books prolonged. This<lb />is because the electric lights give out<lb />but little heat and no gases. The<lb />excessive heat of gas lights and the<lb />gases they throw off after combus-<lb />tion did sad damaye to our books<lb />and their bindings.
