WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 1e.
Margins and Bindings.

Should margins be cut by the binder; should
his saerilegious tools invade the loose paper?
M. Lacroix, strange to say, is all for cutting
down superfiuous margins. 1t has always been
suspected that Bibliophile Jacob was an I'M
sound bibliophile. Hehas read so many books,
he has written SO many books that he is
tainted with the heresy of regarding books as
aids to study. He fails to see that loose mar
gins, which catch all the dust are aids to the
student. M. La Fazeliere is more orthodox
IA book which does not retain its full margin
is dishonored,,' he cries; and NJ. Rouyeyre ad.
mits that the passion for rough margins Is une
douce naaniei Motleley, tho old fancier of the
early part of the century, made good thing
out of this Sweet mania" He was not an ed
ncated man, but he had the natural gift of
"Snuffy pavy" in the Antiquary. He could
smell out rare books, and once hit on a perfect
mine of uncut and unbound Elzevirs in book
sellers stall ia Hungary. Mottely bought the
whole assortment, and skilfully raised he price
of Elzevirs in the Paris market. He then
gradually allowed his uncut examples to appear
one by one, and thus did really magnificent
stroke of business. Many of these examples
were burned by the Communists; but, though
good Elzevirs have thus become rarer, the
taste for them has declined. About bindings
M. Rouveyre has great deal to say. They
are certainly very beautiful; some examples at
present to be seen in the British Museum
might make bibliophile throw himself on his
knees in pious raptures. Without sound bind
lngs, too, books cannot be preserved On the
other hand, If a man really means reading, he
prefers cloth or paper. 1t is sacrilege to bold
morocco near the fire, which warps and ruins
the covers Only students who read, like
Boutton and Machiaveli during his exile, in
silk, velvet and lace RIFLES, can afford to work
With books bound by Lortic, Derome, or dug
seuil Others must have one set of books for
use and another for show, and for the almost
religious exercise of contemplative alteration.
M. Firmin Didot almost became poetical in his
remarks about the colors of morocco. 'sLet
red be reserved for books on war, and blue for
naval treatises, as, in ancient timer, the rhap
sodsts wore red mantle when they recited
the Iliad,' blue mantle when they acclaimed
the Odyssey | have seen, in my father
library, q msenifcent'cepy of Barnes's Homer,
the Iliad' being bound in red, the Odyssey 10

great dignataries of the Church. black for
philosophers, ose-red for po6sies Hgsres. The
ornament of the covers would designate books

Fatal Tornado in the West.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April IA dispatch to the
Globe-Democrat. from Colinsvile, about IL miles
from here, says that terrible cyclone from the
Northwest struck that town at 245 O'Clock this at
ternoon, and, taking zig-zag course, with gener-
al direction almost due east through the place.
demoshing ten buildings running about thirty 9TH
ers, and damaging more less seventy-five residen-
ces and business houses. slight rain preceded the
storm, and nearly every one was indoors when the
tornado struck the town. The storm lasted two or
three minutes, and was frightfully severe. From
double tenement house occupied by John Reynolds
and Patrick Donor SOD, years old, of the latter

broken leg. Annie Reynolds was also taken from
the ruins of this house dead and most horribly
crushed. Mra. Jacobs, aged 70 years, and Thomas
Nelson's two children, respectively 10 and 9 years
old, are badly injured.
