"A common wash-stand may be trans
formed into an attractive piece of
furniture for the sitting.room by en-
ploying a now style used in decorating
the tops Of little tables. The upright
sides and back Of the upper shelf must
be removed and the top covered with
pretty cretonne, attached without
wrinkle. 1t must be neatly and smooth

transparent varnish. Several coats will
be required, until a finished surface is
presented, which does not suggest that
tho pretty decoration is due to any
textile fabric. Tho legs may be painted
with gold paint and vanished with
white varnish or finished with enamel,
as desired.

ANCIENT LIBRARIES.
Before the Discovery OF Printing, DooA6
Were Very Large and Heavy.

Before the Discovery OF Printing, BooA1
Wers Very Large ana Heavy.
The discovery Of the art Of printing
wrought many curious changes; but in
no respect was the Transformation moro
striking. perhaps, than In the appear.
ance Of library interiors. So long a.
books were written by scribes upon
leaves OF parchment 1t followed of neces-
sity that matter which might now be
compressed iato small duodecimo filled
what is called . folio-a book Of the
shape and size Of huge ledger.
SO heavy were these folios, that the
wits Of tho day asserted that ladies read
books which they could not lift.
1t WAS customary to ornament only
tho upper cover, and in order to show
tho carving, chasing and enamel work,
the book was invariably laid upon its
side.
To protect the work Of tho silversmith
or carver, the work was usually encased
in thin leather cover. called its
''farel," the edges Of which met in
front OF the book. where they were tied
together by leather thongs, so that all
dust and dirt might be excluded.
To distinguish one book from another,
the title was written upon parchment
tag which was fastened to the thongs Of
tho farel or to the metal clasps often
made use OF It was not unusual, also,
to inscribe the title upon the clasp itself,
or even upon the front edges of tho
book.
From what has been said, 1t will oc.
cur to the reader that the first thing to
meet the eye upon entering one of these
old book rooms was line upon line of
books, lying fiat upon tho shelves with
their front edges turned outward-a
very different sight from that presented
by modern library. with its shelves of
books all standing on end with their
backs brilliantly ornamental.
lut tho makers of these old folios did
attempt to beautify the edges Of their
books. This process was termed
''gauffcring." The book was placed in
press and the edges were gilded, after
which delicate tracery was worked
upon the edge by indcnting 1t with a
steel die struck by a small hammer. In
other cases symbols and verses were
painted in bright colors upon tho front
edges; SO that, after all, the appearance
of one of these old libfarics was not
quite so drcary as might at first be sup.
posed.-Youth's Companion.

eALzAc's METHODS.
/" Figaros Tells How He scribblsd
srAanr WarnAAaamW

f" Figaro Tells How He Scrubbed ON
"Cesar Birotteau." {.
Balzac's method of working was &C.
centric. Belgravia says that when he
had we'll considered the subject upon
which he proposed to write he would
cover some thirty or forty pages with
ideas and phrases These he would send
to the printer, who returned proof sheets
pasted upon large sheets Of paper. Tho
work was then corrected.
On second reading the forty pages
grew to hundred, and 30 on, while on
the proof sheets new lines would start
from the beginning, middle or end of a
phrase; and II the margins were INSULT
cient other sheets werc added, until at
last the work was satisfactorily COM
pleted. A specimen of Balzac's proof
has the appearance of geographical
map with its rivers, estuarics and lakes,
or perhaps it even more closely resem-
bles complicated railway system in
which the lines cross and recross each
other in q manner that would almost
bewilder Bradshaw.
The most graphic description of this
rcalist at work is to be found in an
article in the Figaro of December Is,
1887, called 1.-The Misfortunes and Ad-
ventures of Caesar Birotteau Before His
Birth" 1t would appear that Figaro
promised tho book for December Is,
and Balzac only began it on November
II. Tho printing press was prepared.
Balzac Immediately sent in two hundred
sheets, ''scribbled" in five nights of
fever. every one knows how he
writes," says Figaro. "It was an out
line, chaos, an apocalypse, Hindoo
poem. Tho timc was short; no
ono could mako head or tail OF tho writ
ing, butit was transposcd as nearly as
possible into familiar signs. Tho author
sent back the first two proofs pasted on
enormous placards.
"It was frightful. From each sign,
from each printed word, shot a pen
stroke, gliding like sky-rocket and
Ghrsting at the extremity of luminous
fire of phrases, epithets, substantivcs,
underlined, crossed, intcrmingled.
erased and superposed. Its appearance
is simply dazzling. Tho office
was far from gay. Tho type-setters
beat their breasts, the presses groancd,
the proof-readers tore their hair" Tho
proofs were sent back seven consecutive
times; and then ''few symptoms Of
excellent French" appeared, and there
was observed certain connection be-
tween the phrases; but tho day-Do-
cember 15-was fast approaching. and.it
was felt that tho book would never ap-
pear. But Balzac and Figaro kept their
word with the public, and Cesar
Birotteau" saw tho light on tho date
agreed upon. 1t was composed, written
and corrected fifteen times by the au-
tkor IL twenty days. In letter in
which - speaks of an attack of ncu-
ralgia no says: ~ wrote Caesar Birot-
teau' with my feet in mustard; am
now writing Les Paysans' with my
head in opium.''

1t is tavorite paradox of some that
the greatest dandies make the bravest
soldiers. as many take pleasure in re.
peating that great men have usually
had email persons. These opinions
spring from that love Of finding or maxi
ing wonder, which is one of the most
tenacious principles in human nature
and is the cause Of half the error that
exists in the world. The fact seems to
be that brave men have been, in gem
eral, neither dardies nor slovens, but
simply neat and cleanly, though, Of
course, there are exceptions Of both
kinds. Groat men. also. have been.
In general. neither little nor big.
though there have been many Of both
classes. Size has nothing to do with
tho question; and the middle-slzel class
has produced the greatest number OF
geniuses. simply because it's the most
