A dixpatrh from Londou aiiiioiincos the death at tlio use of 73 of Mr. U. E. Mudio, tho founder of tho largest und most famous circulating library in tlio world. The event has removed from London life one of its convictions s, a man who for more than half a century was the means of contributing to tho intellectual pleasure of tho En-glish reading classes, and with whom dis-tinguished nerssonases like Thackeray. ' tlif Mercantile, Cooper Union nr 'Wom-en's Library of New York, the Pmiih-Bonia- n or Congressional in Wanli inert on, or the British Museum itself, the hum-blest and tlio highest enjoy an eiju.d privilege. It is only necessary to be and the intellectual treasures of tliij world are at your command. Naturally the diversity of books is-sued to readers varies according to the conimunif y. Cosmopolitan New York absorbs almost everything. On the east side of the city the taate i nns to novels and light literature, with hen; and tilers a grnblK-- r in (let per soil. On the west side the borrowers seem to prefer liisto-- i ries, reminiscences and travels, while there is a largo contingent of people who, living by brain work, though not strictly literary, emU avor to keep pace with everything new or suggeslivo in tho world of letters, from tho last ro-mance to tho highest development of scientific exploration. A rough estimate lias placed the value of books thus publicly circulated in the United States at $4I,)0,KI0. Figures cannot lit) moro eloquent than these in demonstrating tho intellectual tendency of the people. Felix G. de Fontaine. A number of literary friends, whose social circle was wider than his own, at once became patrons, and through their influence the enterprise began to be j widely known. His little establishment became a sjiecies of headquarters for liteiry folk, and with the widening tast es of hi patrons its dimensions grad-ually increased. The sagacity shown by the enterprising founder in the choice of books finally began to attract tho at--I tention of the general public. Thack-eray, it is Baid, was greatly delighted when ho heard that the library had taken a largo number of copies of 'Esmond," wittily remarking when tho information reached him, "Oh, Wans!" referring to the fact thatBrad-- I bury & Evans were the novelist's pub--i Ushers. Dr. Livingstone, tho African ex-- ! plorer, frequently consulted Mudie with regit rd to the publication of his travels. 'Print thousands!" said the library man; and to Livingstone's gratification his "Travels in Central Africa" became one of the most popular books of the day. Another good story of this period of Mudie's career is told. One evening Lady Ashburton gave a brilliant recep-tion. Among her guests was Mr. Mudie, whose name was then 1850 just bocom-4n- g known. During the evening he found imself standing nu.ir fiixlvle. who at age in Search of Sir John Franklin," 8,fl00 copies. Figures iike these Illus-trate the literary tastes of tho people. The variety of tastes is likewise indi-cated by tho library issues of works of fiction. The demand for (teorge Eliot's novels was something enormous, and Gcarecly less so is the eager desire to read everything that has received the stamp of1 popularity on either side of the At-lantic. The history of circulating libraries is in part a history of the intellectual prog-ress of a people. The first one of a pub-lic character was established in England by Kev. Samuel Fancourt, a dissenting minister of Salisbury, about the year 1710. In .America Benjamin Franklin may lie regarded as tho progenitor of this useful medium of thought, since as early as 1733 he put in operation what ho descrilies as "the motherof aU the North American subscription libraries," and it exists today in tlio Philadelphia Library company. To Philadelphia also belongs the credit of having the first absolutely publis library from which books might be borrowed under certain restrictions. It was endowed in 17'J. Since that time r.imilar libraries have been instituted in all of the large cities of the United States, while of private circulating li-- I braries the name is legion. Tho public library of Boston is one that occupies the first rank. Its organi-zation not only occupies, the central building, but several branches in subur-ban towns. The total daily book de-livery is upward of 4,000 volumes, and the clerical force employed is 130 per- -' sons, of whom more than two-third- s are women. In order to tako books away the applicant merely registers name and i address, whereupon a card is issued on which his name is written, which serves j as his authority to borrow. For delin-quents who fail to return books at the ' right time, or in giod order, small pen-- 1 allies arc exacted, but the loss is shown to be of an infinitesimal percentage, a fact that speaks highly for the character of the applicants. An official table showing the experience of twenty-thre- o ' of these libraries, many of which are free to all tho inhabitants of the towns and cities in which they are located, in-- 4 Sacs &m T Mil mm t'llAltl.f.s i;myvakij .v.i oiTC.-- ho looked at the aco of DO. Dickens, D'Israeli, Gladstone, Cobden, Oarlyle, P.right and other leaders of pub-lic opinion claimed moro than a passing acquaintance. It must not be inferred, however, that Mudie wtis tho originator of the circu-lating library. The institution dates back to tho Middlo Ages, when vo read of stationers "who loaned books on hire," but he developed tho idea and bronght the system to a degree of per-fection that even in America with all our facilities wo have not been able to surpass. It was Mudie's own passion for books that suggested tho formation of his library. Even as a lad ho was an om-nivorous reader, and eagerly devoured the contents of every volume that fell into his hands, although works of his-tory, travel and philosophy engaged his Bliecial attention. How he was induced to enlarge his opportunities for obtain-ing books, and thus became the medium of supplying others whoso tastes Were similar to his own, is best told in his own word;;: "In 18-1- the circulating libraries were doing a flourishing trade, but dingy places they were, and tho trash they supplied was well suited to tho tastes of the Lydia Languish, and Lady Slat-tern Loungers of the day. Seldom could I get a book that I wished for, and I was fain to buy what I wanted. Tho idea suddenly struck me that many other young men were in sim.Tiir cas-- with myself. 1 had by this time accumulated a number of books, so I determined to launch out a library on my own lines." With this plan in view Mr. Mudie first placed his modest collection in tho window of a small shop in l.U.iomsbury square, now Southami n row. and gave it the name of "Mudie's Select Library." j a r.oorcwnnjf op frankmn's tdif:. once singled him out and looking him full in the face said in his brusqnest manner, with his broad Doric accent: "So you're the man that divides the sheep from the goats! Ah!'' he went on, giving strong emphasis to his words, "it's tin awfu' thing to judge a man. It's a more wfu' thing to judge a book, for a book has a life beyond a life. But it is with books as it is with man. Proad is the road that leadeth to destruction, and many tiiere be that go in thereat, and narrow is the way that leadeth to life, and few thero bo that find it." Mr. Mudio held his ground Ixddly enough when thus attacked as the man who had Bet himself nj as a censor librorum. "In my business I profess to Judge books only from a commercial standpoint, though it is ever luy object to circulate good books and not bad ones." An idea of the magnitude to which tie business has attained may be in-ferred from the fact that since its foundation nearly 7,000.000 volumes have been purchased for tho use of sub-scribers. During a busy season the av- - erage number of books issued aud re-issued is loO.OoO a week. Of popular works an edition of or.e or two thousand is required to meet the demand. For in- - stance, on the appearance (if "Macau- - lay's History" 2, copies were put in circulation; of "Livingstone's Travels," 3,000 copies; of "Idylls of the King," 1,000 copies, and of McClintock's "Voy- - THE OLD PIlir.AlVKI.l'lMA LIBRARY. dicates that out of a total circulation of 6.747,3-1(- volumes o:dy .I.OCst were lost through borrowers, while il.OSl) were worn out in honorable service, a lass of two-tent- of t per cent. Other public libraries in the United States are modeled on the plan of that in Boston, and mauy of them, like those of Worcester, Ma.ss. ; Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, including several in New York, are open to Sunday readers. It would much space to de-scribe in detail the various institutions, and in fact they are so nearly alike that, save in matters of wealth, size of collec-tion and architectural features, descrip-tion is unnecessary.

In tho old settlers' room the por-trait of Long John Wentworth was pointed out to her. Now, the late Mr. Wentworth was far from tpirituelle, and at the first glance tho princess, with a little start, exclaimed, looking at a circle of friends, "Do show mo a big sticker! I havo heard so much about the Chicago pig sticker." Tho gentleman flushed a little; there was an "audible Kilt nee," ami her hostess rel ied, "Prin-cess, yon nro on the arm of one." Chi-cago Letter.
