THE POWER OF HOME.
Its Relation to Society and Its Influence
In the Church.

The unit of society is the home. En-
eollment that assumes to be thorough is
not registration by individuals, but
by families. If we We're to say that the
structure of society is cellular we
should have to say that it is the family
that constitutes each separate cell No
man, however entire, is cell. No
woman, however complete, is cell.
There is no Ashed cell except in the
grouping of several individuals bound
by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is
dislocated fragment His female coun
terpart is in the same category. 1t may
not be their fault. 1t may lie in the
necessity of their case. Still, all in all,
it is condition foreign to divine in
tention
1t is to the family, therefore, that we
shall have to look as being the prime
point of concern in all that relates to
the veal of our times and our kind.
The strength and health Of society are
to be measured by the amount of atfec-
Tomato emphasis that is laid on the
home idea, and the wholesomenoss Of
society is simply the sanctity of the
home writ large Homes are each Of
them the separate roots that carry their
several contributions to tho organized
structure of the general life.
All of thi, holds whether society he
considered in its religious relations,
which we know as the church, or i'll its
secular ones, known as the state The
home is the first church, and the home

MARBlNG BOOKS.
The Slow Old Process by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.


Almost ever since the first books were
made the fashion IF marbleizing the
edges Of many of them has been in
vogue. 1t used to be, however, that only
the most expensive volumes - those
bound in full calf and deliberately let
tered-had their edges thus garnished.
but now such finishing is left, for the
most part, for ledgers, daybooks and
other blank books intended for business
use.
Though long before gilt edges were
thought of the ornamenting of the plain
white edges of books to initiate marble
was popular, there has been little or no
change in the process since It's first in
PRODUCTION.
1t is generally supposed that all such
details have come under the stamp of
the bookmaker' 5 art until there is moth
ing left in them to romind ohe Of their
first and earliest days, but not with
marbling. As time has gone ON the pop
ularity of this method of emhallishlng
paper has grown less Consequt
there has been 10 need to devise means
+
There have been some Improvements in
the original methods, but most book
binders still stick to the cid way rs
good enough.
Instead Of books whiZzing through
machinery one after another and taking
on their marhled edges III some mystcri-

A trough about two inches deep is
| filled with gum water, on the surface OF
which various colored pigments have
been thrown and disposed III various
forms with comb and coarse wire tccth.
The cans of liquid paint are ranged
along the sides of the trough, and from
them the paint is taken by dipping into

Bangor Commercial; 1t can be no
secret that the federal treasury officials
are greatly disappointed over the cur
rent revenue collections, Sugar imports
offer the greatest surprise. The receipts
from this quarter increase very slowly
and in the past month or two not at all.
Where a revenue of $1,000, 600 a month
or over was looked Tor, hardly $4,000
600 is being collected. The gains from
the whislley taxes are also disappointing,
and the present month seems likely to
