People who delight in good books are
rejoicing in the good work being done
by the AMERICAN Book EXCHANGE. S:
Beekman street. N. u. By introducing
the plan of publishing and selling book:
direct 10 purchasers, instead Of giving
the large discounts usually allowed 10
dealers and agents TO sell for them: BY
working on the basis of the present cost
OF making books. which is about one
half what il was few years ago. and by
printing very large additions, which also
greatly reduces the cost as compared
with small editions, they are able to
furnish books at prices which, to most
people. seem truly astonishing. but
which they say are only reasonable.
They publish as.follows:
Chambers's Cyclopedia of English Lit
erature, vols, l6mo. Price, complete.
paper, 81 90; cloth, 50 90; half morocco.
81 15; half morocco, bound in vols.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE:

On "Wednesday morning about /.

lhackeray.

The personal appearance of Thack- cray has been frequently described. His nose, through an early accident, was misshappen 1t was broad at the bridge and stubby at the end. He was near sighted; and his halr at forty was al- ready gray, hut massy Id abu d int '; his keen and kindly eyes twinkIed som, . times through and sometimes over his spe ctacles. A friend remarked that what he "should call the predominant expression of the countenance was courage-a readiness to face the world on its own terms" Unlike Dickens, he took no regular walking exercise, and being regardless of inc laws of health, sufferel in consequence. In reply to one who asked him if he had ever re- ceived the best medical advice, his reply was, "What is the use of advice if you don't follow it? They tell me not to drink, and do drink. They tell me not to smoke, and I do smoke. They tell me not to eat, and I do eat. In short, I do everything that am desired not to do; and therefore, what can I expect?" And so one morning he was found lying, like Dr. Chalmers, in the sleep of death with his arms beneath his head, after one of his violent attacks of illness to be mourned by his mother and daughters, who formed his household, and by wider public be- yond, which Il ad learned to love him through his admirable works.

Over Skirts,

Har2oer's Bazar says: Deep apron
 over-skirts remain in favor, ,notwithstand-
 ing the introduction of shorter aprons.
 Their style depends on their simple
 drapery, and in 8 measure on their
 plainness, that is, the absence of all trimming. They are caught up very high on the side, indeed almost to the
 belt, by one or two clusters of shirring, or else by 8 single bunch of pleats that are very near together. The back breadth then falls plainly, and hoops at the bottom by reason of it's scantiness, or else 1t IS very wide, consisting of the en- tire breadth of the double-width goods, and has bunch of pleats in the middle to correspond with those on each of the side seams this gives very graceful bouffant effect. Other aprons are se- ries of irregular folds or wrinkles held in place by tape that passes under heath down the middle of the front breadth, to which the under part of each fold is tackled. Still others are merely aprons without any back drapery; these aprons meet under the ends of the bas- basque behind and the back breadths of the lower skirt have then three deep hounces over them from the belt to the foot. The pleated fronts of the skirt are also sometimes put in the apron instead of in the lower skirt. Thus there is broad pleat down the middle of the apron it's whole length, or else there are two or three narrower box pleats. Some times pretty effect is given by having the front breadth of striped or plaid material, while the remainder of the skirt is of solid colored goods. The over-skirt is then shirred down the seams that join it to the plain updraped front, and is bunchily draped behind. Some times there is 8 cluster of lengthwise pleats that form the side gores of the over skirt; /; the fancy is to have these laid in eight pleats, four of which are turned toward the back and four toward the f,ont, meeting in the middle of the gore; then quite near the foot the pleats are not pressed in, but are gathered horizontally in rows of shir- ring

eminiscence of a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadelphia last week, was in his day one of the most noted gamblers who made their trade notorious on the Mississippi river. Although he professed to be "a man of
 honor" he was by no means of the very
 best morals, and he did not object to take advantage of his fellow man. For instance With his friend and accom- plice he would board 8 boat at Louis vile, and, scanning the passenger list, pick out for his victims some old card players of wealth with whom he was personally acquainted. To these people he would go very quietly and say of his accomplice, "There IS man who p lays high, and we can beat him you join with me and we'll do it." The victim agreed, the party was made up, but Watts always succeeded in regulating success the wrong way for his victim, and thus the would-be bitter was often bitten.
 Once he was accused of swindIing in that way, the charge being made in the heat of play by man from whom Watts's accomplice had just won S1O,OOO. els that your opinlon?" he quietly asked.
 'Yes, sir; that's what I think" roared the loser; "you swindled me, and I stigmatize you as scoundrel." The hour was late, and only the watchman and the party engaged in playing heard the charge, but all of them drew back and held their breath. for they were sure "Jack" would take life to wipe out the insult It is said that he had done that thing. "I will give you $5, ,00O right here if you will not make that opinion any further public" said Watts, drawing forth his pocketbook. "No, sir, I do not want the money; you can- not buy my silence with money" Then Watts smiled in his wicked way and held a pistol in one hand and the money in the other, and said quietly, as before " My friend, for the suppression of your opinion I offered you $5,0OO. You re- fused. Now offer you that amount of money and your life. Do you accept ?" The man looked into Jacks cold, steel gray eye and what he read there was convincing. He took the money and his life and kept silent.

An Old-FashiOned Election.

MT. J. W. Barber, of New Haven, has kept, and still keeps, diary which he began Jan. p, 1913. Among the en- tries is the following, that shows, by contrast with the present, an improve ment in the manner of observing an election:
 1914, May 15. Election. Went to Hartford.
 Electlon was three days holiday, beginning on Thursday, when the Gov ernor was inaugurated, and lasting through the week. The country people, for miles around Hooked to Hartford. There were always gathered more or less negroes and Indians, with their squaws, melancholy remnants of dying race.
 The Governors Guards, in their British colonial uniform, red coats and short brooches, always pAraded. Dur ing election, gambling and drunkenness held a high carnival.
 Gambling-tables, with dice and liquor stands, were in and around the State House Square, dancing and fiddling going on naru by, double shutt1s and breakdown"
 Men aud boys moved amid the throng with glasses and hottles of cherry-rum tackled everybody to sell them drink, making dives, half dozen at time, upon the countrymen coming in on horseback, and thirsty from the dust of the roads.
 By noon the liquor had got we'll cir cujated, when more or less fights took place, with pushing crowds, and seizures by the constables, and conveyences to the jall, followed by yelling, hootins, drunken bands.
