OUR POLITICAL REPORTS.

The statement in the ADVERTISER
report of the last Mechanics I'm
ion meeting, that "the secretary
did not have the names of the ex-
ecutive committee" should be sup
plemented, as the Elele reminds
us, by the statement that he did
not have them with him, merely.
Our report was meant in this
sense, and we cheerfully make the
explanation.
The same number of the Elele
AYERS that our report of the pre-
vious meeting was "fauIty." AS,
however it does not appear in what
particular it was faulty, it is not in
our power to make any correction.
The accuracy of the ADVERTISER re-
ports is best vouched for by the fact
that a free use of them is made by
our contemporaries, including Ka
Leo and the Elele itself. Ka Leo
has copied our report of a meeting
of it's own party, striking testi-
monial to the spirit of fairness in
which our reports are made. AS
our accounts of public meetings are
necessarily abbreviated, they must
of course be more or less imperfect,
or "faulty." 1t is always difficult,
and sometimes impossible to give
an adequate notion of a speech in
a brief condensation. We ac-
knowledge fallibility and welcome
every BONA FlDE correction.

lamps and goods for the holi-
days, and yet not a weak spot
in all the long lines. In varie-
ty Of styles, in completeness of
assortment, it's as if we had
just unpacked the boxes and
had not waited on ever so
many hundreds of buyers
better than that, we've had
such proof of what your choice
will almost surely be as to
make the gathering of styles
doubly strong at those points.

It would be marvellous, in
deed, if an overlapping of
lamp stock, such as we have,
were without spots of excep-
tional price-interest. We mean
that no lamp prices anywhere
shall be more favorable toyou.
AS a rule, the same quality
would cost you more in any
other store. But for all that,
there are lamps that for one
reason or other-good 6myimg

price-tune. You'll be interest
ed in them if you like things
that are exceptionally nice.
Next to lamps Cut Glass
has had the attention of the
buyers more than anything
else. This little fact shows
two things: We bought the
right quality. We bought
what yom wanted. In the
whole lot there is nothing
prettier than the one single
olive dish we have remaining.
1t was sold to a lady the other
day as a gift to a friend but it
proved a duplicate and we ex-
changed it for something else.
There is only one and it won't
remain with us long. Perhaps
while you are reading this
some one else who got up
earlier than you is on the way
to the store to buy it. If it is
sold when you arrive we will
try and convince you that
there are some other pieces
among the lot that are just as
rich in cutting as the olive dish.
It's hard to decide where there
are so many elegant things as
our glassware case contains.
Some physicians tell us that

MAKING A BOOK.


tno ordinary NOvel-Ihe Scfentiuc BOOB
Manuscript, Electrotyping. etc.
How is a book made: Well. it depends
upon what kind of book it is. An or
binary, every day novel is made in this
way: First the manuscript is received at
the literary department of the publish
ing house to which it is sent, and is
quickly consigned to the mercies, tender
or otherwise, of a corps of readers, num-
bering IN a large publishing house say,
half dozen. A favorable opinion of
majority of the readers viii in most
cases determine the value of a manu-
script, and if it receives that then neg0-
tiations are entered into with the author.
Often royalty is paid, and as often, per-
haps, the manuscript is bought outright.
OF course this depends largely upon the
authors reputation, if he has aSy, and
upon the kind of books he has written.
For instance, more risks could be legiti-
mately taken by the publisher on an
author who has previously written books
which had sold well than upon a novice.
As naturally, also, there is larger sale
for book on a popular subject than for
one on scientific or abstruse subject.
Sometimes the author pays for the
electrotype plates from which the book
is printed, but this is not done very often,
for authors are not rich as q class. The
manuscript having been accepted and
carefully edited, and negotiations for its
use having been successfully concluded,
1t Is sent to the composing room and then
divided into ''talSes," as they are called,
among the compositors. After it is set
up proofs are struck off and sent to the
author for revision. Sometimes he gets
three sets of proofs before everything is
all right. From the galleys of type cleo
trotype plates, from which the book is to
be printed, are made and these are fitted
into the presses and the printing begun.
Ii large first edition is wanted a large
number Of presses are set to work, and
vice versa II a small edition.
As the book comes from the presses it
is sent in certain quantities to the drying
room, where the paper and ink are thor
oughly dried. From the drying room it
goes to the bindery and is bound. The
biggest expense connected with the maxi
ing of book is probably the cost of cleo
trotype plates Few publishing houses
issue but one book at time, for by pub
fishing several together expressage and
other incidental items of expense are
saved. Many publishers count the second
edition of book nearly clear profit, all
the expenses having been reckoned as
coming ON the first edition. The illus
trations on the covers of books are mostly
made by artists whose sole business it is
to do that kind of artistic work. To O
publishing house like Harper's, for in
stance, q special corps of these artists is
attached, and they are paid good sal
aries. If a scientific book is to be pub
hshed, instead of sending the manuscript
to the ordinary corps of readers it is sent
to a scientific man whose reputation as
All expert in the particular science in

A jain Birds Good Luck.

If Whittington's cat cannot be placed
among well authenticated Felide. many
a man has attained the glory of lord
mayoralty in ways fully as romantic as
those of Wilmington in the nursery tale.
Stephen Foster was a debtor confined in
the Jail of Ludgate, which once stood
over the gate on the hill, a very little way
west of ST. Pauls. There was gate at
which every day prisoner was allowed
to sit to collect aims for his fellows, and
here one day Foster sat. A wealthy
widow passing by gave him money, in
quired into his case, and took him into
her service. He saved his wages, traded
successfully, married the widow, and in
due time became Sir Stephen Foster,
lord mayor of London. In his prosperity
he forgot not his days of adversely, and
founded a charity for prisoners which
was long kept up in the Jail of Ludgate
and commemorated in his epitaph.-The
Century.

Japanese Dinner Etiquette.

When the guests arrive, say for din
ner, the politeness of paradise is turned
loose. With great apparent hesitation
they enter, bowling low with their hands
on their knees if they are men, or drop
ping on their knees and touching their
foreheads almost tothe ground if they are
ladies. The first Japanese salutation cor
responds exactly to the Norwegian "Tak
for sidst Thank you for the pleasure
had the last time l met YOU" This,
however, is but the merest beginning Of
japanese greeting. A conversation some
thing after this style ensues: Il beg your
pardon for my rudeness on the last occa-
sion" ''How can you say such a thing
when it was | who failed to show YOU
due courtesyY Far from It'll received
a lesson in good manners from you.
slow can you condescend to come to
such poor house as this?" 'How can
you, indeed, be SO kind as to receive such
an unimportant person as myself under
your distinguished roof"
All this punctuated with low bows and
the sound of breath sucked rapidly in
between the teeth, expressive of great
empressement. AT last, amid a final
chorus CT arigatos, the guests come to
anchor upon thefloor. Various objects are
handed TO them, to entertain them, Gu
rio or two, Il few photographs, anything,
no matter what, for it is de rigueur in
Japanese etiquette to affect great inter-
est and admiration on such OCCASIONS

The Chinese Nrlnister,s onal.

The Chinese minister was present, ac-
companied by several of his secretaries
and attired in a costume of remarkable
beauty. The silks and fabrics of which
it was composed must have excited at
once the admiration and envy of half
the ladies present. On his head he wore
a cap of mandarin of the highest rank
and a relative of the emperor. In place
of the yellow button which usually sur
mounts the top was magnificent opal
as large as a pullet's egg, blazing with
myriad light and surrounded by circle
of diamonds the smallest of which could
not weigh less than two carats. The
opal would have turned Col. Pat DOMAIN
green with envy The whole headgear
must have cost the minister not less than
$4,000, and he has several others equally
gorgeous and expensive. Hardly the
sort TO leave on the hat rack with the
front door open, are they? With oriental
sagacity the worthy ambassador from
the Golden empire wears his cap in
mixed company, and has the others pad
locked in bonnet box. and carries the
key up his sleeve. Washington Post.

laughter from beginning to end, and the
roles assumed by Ray L. Royce and
Charles Horwitz. in which the songs and
specialties were introduced. caught the
immense crowd and kept the listeners in
a continued laughter. The American
stage to-day does not contain a more

Royce. The take off on Gilmer by Hor-
