A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every HnIr
There are various rumors and tales
floating about own among those in the
s1siness concerning some wonderful ma.
chinery over on the west side of the city
in a certain monstrous bookmaking es-
Establishment.
The novel machine" is a large wei
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed on, but arranged to take curved
s~lectrotypes Of each page of a book in.
stead of a single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders, or
each Of which Ia pages may be screwed
and a. the long strip of paper goes
through, first n side is printed and thel;
the other, making it possible TO print esS
pages at every revolution. The strip Of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink. is cur, folded and
brought together i'll the shape of a small,
volume. with the edges all trimmed. Tv,
cry time the great cylinder goes round a
novel is printed. folded and trimmed. and
5000 Of these are turned ont every hour,
while. If it Were necessary. 1000 or 5000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to a little III chine that looks
like a sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in he back of each.
The stitched volumes re then carried to
the covering machine. where they are put
side to side in a long eeding trough. AT
the end Of this is a title compartment
large enough 10 tax d book. carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are "A series Of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain move, along each one re-
ceives a book. A the book proceeds a
wheel running IL a gluepot p esses
against its back. smearing ii with glue.
A little further along there is a pile of
covers that comes up a. just the right
moment. leaving a cover sticking to thn !
gluey back of the book. /
In this way 30 books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty +,
of these paper covered novels
are thus turned ont every two weeks. and

Mental Emotion and Jaundice.

The connection Of simple jaundice
with sudden mental emotion is generally
admitted. Such facts as the following
are not uncommon: A young woman be-
ome yellow at the discovery of her
misdeeds; another OH hearing that her
fance was killed: a young man on being
discharged from office because he had
not grown tall enough.
Simple jaundice is often followed by
acute yellow atrophy. which is also
known to be directly CAUSED by shock,

there early in the winter, the party spent
the entire time cruising around the coast

only Of his colleagues of the Left. but
also of his adversaries on the Right. He

French Servants and Wealthy Shopkeepers.

VI II "tditby ShOpheepefB
The one extravaganza of dress of the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by a dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume has a degree of style about it
which she is fully capable of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the SO called hour
geois set-the wives and daughters of
.ich shopkeepers and manufacturer
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundres-
of the Bon Marche. was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed in black
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still a
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters Of
the art of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tai
ents in her behalf.-Lucy Harper in
