subject of the book for which the de- sign is made is another characteristic of Miss Morse. For instance, in mak- ing the cover for "On Newfound River" by Thomas Nelson Page, she introduced dolphins into her designs. s'Marse Chan," by the same author, is ornamented with Virginia creeper; 'Meh Lady," with yellow jasmine; "Our Home Pets," by Olive Thorne Miller, with conventional parrots; "Phantoms of the Footbridge," by Craddock, with pines and guns. An other elaborate and decorative design of Miss Morse was done for recent edition of Charles Reade's novels in octave form. When at Cooper Union Miss Morse took a prize in designing. In an interview with Miss Morse, she said: "The difficulty in book-cover de- signing is the necessity of carrying out theme in all its details in a very limited space. A design should con- tain something symbolic of the subject matter, and no artist can make a thoroughly good and correct design without first reading the book which it is to ornament.
 "The remuneration which one reA ceives for book-cover designing alone is not sufficient to make comfortable living notwithstanding the fact that the best paid workers receive from if teen dollars to twenty-five dollars for single cover, because, though there are many new books issued in a year, com parative1y few of them have new de- signs. Mrs. Whitman is probably the only designer who makes her living wholly by designing book-covers. Nearly all book designers supplement their income by side issues, which, though not so high in the artistic scale, are perhaps more lucrative
 Miss Margaret Nelson Armstrong, the third of the trio mentioned at the beginning, is young woman whose natural ability has been greatly aided by the art atmosphere in which she has lived. Her father, MT. D. Malt land Armstrong, was for many years with his family resident of Italy, and Miss Armstrong's early life was passed in an artistic atmosphere. Her first work was done while she was connect ed with the Tiffany Glass company; after that she made some successful covers for Harper &5 Bros, and later for A. c. McClurg &5 Co.,. of Chicago; but probably her most successful work has been done for Charles Scribner's Sons.
 Her designs are characterized by yer, satility, adaptability and reasonable ness both in ornament and the aolo,. scheme suggested. The publishers are always able to use her designs exactly as drawn, as the design is complete ip itself, showing the kind of material, the color of ink, the distribution of gold, and is made the exact size of the cover of the book on which it is to be used.
 Miss Armstrong's sister, Miss Helen Maitland Armstrong, who is noted for her stained glass window drawings,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-04-28

has made some very successful book covers, notably the design for Eugene Fields Hove Songs of Childhood" and Stockton's "Fanciful Tales
 Miss Margaret Armstrong's designs are so numerous that it would be diff cult to make a selection of those most worthy of mention. The design of 'Trilby' is hers, and also the design for McClurg's Sweet William" For the Scribner's she made cover for Miss Aldrich's Songs About Life, Love and Death" Parkhurst's Birds Calen- dar," Dana's How to Know the Wild Flowers and Bourgeois ''Outre Mer."

Male vs. Female Brains.

Prof. Bishop, of London, was the most violent of the present century op- ponents of woman suffrage, one of his arguments being that the average weight of a mans brain was 1850 grains, while that of woman of the average was only 1,26O. The professor died in 1892, and when his own brain was weighed it only tipped 1,255 grains. five grains less than what he had de- clared to be the female average.

GA book that is a fad will sell under any cover, and the cheaper the better. But holiday books or new editions of old works must be put in attractive bindings or the average purchaser will pass them by unnoticed. The demand for attrae- tive covers with odd designs is in creasing, too, and this has so mag nifed the importance of the designer that some publishers have instituted the practice of permitting him to put his initials in a conspicuous place on the cover, thus giving recognition to the artists who have hitherto blushed unseen and unknown, while the fruits of their labor have gone out to con- tribute to the glory of those who wrote and illustrated the body of the book This seems no more than fair, for if Americans want pretty books, as well as those that are well written, it is right that they should know who the artists are that make them so."
 The field of book-cover designing is being rapidly covered by women. They seem to have a special aptitude for it, and have been remarkably successful. A frequent comment upon the attain ments of women is that they do their work quite as well as men. Until re- gently this has been the acme of the average woman's ambition, but there have always been those who have longed to excel man in his own field,
 To such it will be sweet to hear from the lips of one of the other sex the fol- lowing comment upon woman's work in an important branch of the design ing art: ''It is beyond question that the most successful book-cover designers are women.

work is entirely original and novel, and
some of the American artists have al

of the Hawthornes. Something in the
performance of these handsome English
women is so attractive that wherever
they have appeared in this country they

The climax of spectacular realism is
reached in the fourth act of SLAVES of

plosion, which is followed by most
thrilling fire scene, and then the flood

TIE GOLD MOVEMENT.
Tlta Talk of nm Early bond Issue Has
Practically Died Out.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Reports to the
Treasury department show that $3.50, 600 IN
gold was Withdrawn yesterday from the
sub treasury at New York for export, and
that $250,o0o in gold was deposited by II
Rochester, N. Y, bank, which offsets the
Withdrawals, leaving tho true amount Of
the reserve ut the close of business $685.
$50 52s.
Under normal conditions the treasury
gains some gold nearly every day, as banks
in hll of the sub treasury cities prefer to
exchange for notes any small amounts Of
gold they may take in over their counters,
especially IL their coin reserve is in no
need of replenishing. During the last few
weeks the aggregate of these deposits has
been considerable. Several offers of small
amounts have been made lately with the
stipulation thnt the department pay OK
prussage both ways, but as there is no ap-
preparation for the purpose these offers
have been declined.
II Is said ut the department that the
most generous offers of gold nearly always
come from the banks in Chicago and st.
Louis, and when gold is tho scarcest these
banks always come forward and express a
willingness to help out. At New York
yesterday s436,0O0 in large United States
notes were deposited in exchange for small
notes to be shipped to number Of points
east, south and west.
The talk Of AN early bond issue has died
out here, the opinion among officials be-
ing that while President Cleveland will
protect the national credit when in dan
ger by any means within his power, the
present situation Is n OF such as to call for
amy action on his part.

A AHARMONIOUS MEETING.
Result of the Republican Conven-
tion at Saratoga.
NO LOCAL OPTION FOR COUNTIES.

Tho Platform Demands the Enforcement
of the Sunday Liquor Law aud the Pre-
Eervation of the Bnbbath-No Eniargo-
ment Of Tho State Committoe.
SARATOGA, Sept. tS.-The state Repub-
lican convention closed its session last
night after following very closely the work
mapped out ty its leaders. 1t named this
ticket for presentation to tho people of the
State In November next For secretary of
state, John Palmer Of Albany; comptroller,
James E. Roberts of Erie; state treasurer,
Addison b. Colvin of Warren; state en-
gineer, Campbell W. Adams of Oneida;
attorney general, r. 4. Hancock of Onon-
daga; judge of the court of appeals, Celora
X. Martin of Broonle.
The platform demands enforcement Of
the Sunday liquor law and preservation
of the Sabbath. Governor Morton's wise
and patriotic administration Is also in.
dorsod, and his candidacy for president
formally launched Tho platform further
sets forth that the demands of the people
in the city of New York have been granted
in reform legislation.
After the opening session there appeared
on the horizon cloud of discomfort that
grew so rapidly that at o'clock the fate
OF the state officers scanned to be sealed
against denomination. The trouble arose
over the contest for seats in the First dis
trict, and hinged on the seating of the
contesting delegation headed by Congress
man Mahaney.
With everything apparently running
smoothly the leaders were suddenly con-
fronted with the statement made by Stats
Committeeman George Urban, Jr., and
Senator Persons that II the Mahaney dele
CATION was seated tho Eric county delega-
tion would leave the convention and Mr..
Roberts name would be withdrawn from
the convention, thus breaking the slate.
When the convention met the committee
reported against Mr.. Mahaney. 1t was
learned that the vote was IS against and
Is for, the deciding vote having been cast
by Mr.. Wheeler, of Utica. Thus was the
catastrophe averted.
The next nearest approach to break In
the plans came when Warner Miller in.
troduced his resolution for the protection
OF the American Sabbath and the carrying
out of the excise laws. The leaders who
had proclaimed against any excise action
accepted the situation and the result was
that all friction ceased.
Action on enlargement of the state com.
mittee was tabled and local Sunday option
for counties was also killed.
