FOSTERS FAILURE.
The Danger of Getting in Debt Beyond the Reach of Reasonably Quick Assets Demonstrated.

CLEVELAND, O., May 2s.-In response to telegram sent by an afternoon paper Gov. Foster answered as follows:
 Thanks for your offer of space My present mental distress precludes acceptance of your kind offer to any extent.
 My failure simply illustrates the great folly of permitting ones self to be in deot beyond the reach of reasonably quick assets for relief when the hour of difficult borrowing comes. When people are in such condition and the stability of existing financial conditions is shaken, the result is inability to borrow, sus- pension and failure.
 Business is largely done with borrowed money. Confidence in the maintenance of sound financial conditions is essential to legiti- mate lending. That public confidence has for some time been shaken in the ability or ca paoity of the government to maintain gold payments is evident The natural impulse of banks sn such times is to strengthen them selves against some possible and unusual draft. Then comes inability to borrow, de- cline in prices, suspension and bankruptcies follow.
 The country is possessed of enormous re- sources, which are at the command of the gov ernment, and it should say and act in terms and ways that will satisfy the country without am biguity or uncertainty that gold payments will 1e maintained. CHARLES FOSTER.

THE YELLOW METAL.

The Heavy Outflow of Gold from the
 United States to Europe Since January
 Sixty Millions Gone and still Going.
 WASHINGTON, May 30-Since Janu- ary 6O,O00, ,0O0 in gold have been ex- ported to Europe, and the export movement, instead of having abated, seems to have received a fresh inn petus. Most of this gold was taken from the Uuited States treasury, and prac- tically all that is now being exported comes from the same source. In that time the treasury department has sus- tained net loss of S25, ,354, 143, the net total gold in the treasury on January 1, 1893, having been s121, ,26G, ,662, while to-day it is only s95,912.419 The gold holdings within the five months of this year have at times fluctu- ated, but since the lst of May the gold has been nearly always below the limit of the so-called gold reserve of s10O,O ,OO0. As soon as the reserve was built up large shipment abroad would pull it down and when from natural causes or from unusual eXertions on the part of the administration to keep it intact it grew again, another onslaught would decrease it. It is daily invaded to the extent of more than s4, GOO. 900. and ad- vices received show that for the gold engaged for shipment on to-day and tomorrow s3, 200, ,000. the total net gold remaining in the treasury will be bout s93, ,000, GOO, the lowest figure reached since the resumption of specie pay ments.
 In addition to this large engage ment there are reports current here from sources usually well founded that more gold will go out OF next Satur- day, sufficient, it is said, to reduce the gold holdings o s90,000,000.
 Despite these heavy shipments. the treasury officials express the greatest confidence in the ability of the treas ury to restore the gold balance. They point to the fact that there is a gradual and healthy inflow of gold from natural causes to the treas ury, which is only temporarily checked hy the large amounts taken for export. Had such not been the case the export of S60, 0,000, 900 since the first of the year would have left the net total gold in the the treasury at O,0Oo,O GOO, in- stead of as it is stated to-day. S95. .912,- 419. A cessation of gold exports in large amounts is looked for by July 1, as it is understood that the Austrian demand is well nigh supplied.
 peculiar feature in the decrease of gold is that a corresponding increase is shown in the net treasury balance. That balance is to-day S25, 800. .000. or nearly million dollars greater than it was on March 5, when Secretary Car lisle took official charge of this money. Of this amount Sl1 $40, 900 is in subsid- iary coin, and 1l,G5O 900 in national bank Repositories. Both of these items are slightly in excess of what they were on March T.

PICTURES ON BOOK EDGES.
Form Of Decoration Which Is Now Al
most Forgotten.


Of all the artistic branches Of book
making nothing is more neglected in
this day than the ornamentation of the
edges, once considered an essential
element in the get-up of fine works.
While this fancy reigned many famous
collectors, binders and artists devoted
much time and money to perfecting
this art, now almost forgotten, accord
ing to the San Francisco Chronicle.
According to the old mode of book
decoration the volumes were nearly al
ways gilt-edged-that is, the edge of
the leaves were gilded either before or
after the application of the orna-
ments There were three kinds OF
gilt-edging. The first is now known
as fooled edges; the second, gliding
on marbled, painted or colored edges,
and the third. gliding on landscape or
figure painting. The first style orig
mated and was brought to the highest
stage in France during the reign of
Louis MI, and all the books valued
by him were ornamented with his
arms and devices. which were i'm
pressed on the edges. The court fol-
lowed the tastes OF the king. and in a
short time the decoration of book
edges became very popular. Accord
ing to NJ Cruel, an authority On the
subject. the first book known to be 50
fooled" was a book published by Fran
co.'s Tissard. and printed at Paris by
Giles de Cancourt about 1907. It is an
octave volume. bound with the arms
and enblems of Louis NIL. and the or
namentation of the edges was entirely
worked by hand.
The process OF making this class Of
designs is very simple. After the edge
is gilded in the ordinary way, It IS
given thin coat of sizing. When dry
coat of palm oil is laid on to make
the gold adhere, and this is then coz
cred with gold leaf of different color
from the first used. The tools for the
design are then slightly warmed and
impressed upon the edge In France
books are still frequently treated in
this manner. but the decorators are
almost entirely confined 20 books Of
devotion. which are OF such s.ereo-
typed design that they lose all attrac-
tivcress-
The second class Of edge ornament
ing comprises different modes of paint
i2C and coloring the edges beneath or
above the gold and requires much care
and skill TO obtain satisfactory results
One noteworthy example Of this process

Now and then a family is found
where the parents have been animated
with a desire to give their children

the case of one where the children
were numbered instead of named. In
other instances the first name had been

significance of the last name.

to inquire the name, and was told by
the father: "Shady, sir, if you please. 7"
