The Slow Old Process by which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.
Almost ever since the first books were
made the fashion of marketing the
edges Of many of them has been IN
vogue. Il used to be. however. that only
the most expensive volumes - those
bonnd In full calf and elaborately let
tered-had sheir edges thus garnished.
bat cow such finishing IS left. for the
most part. for iedgers, daybooks and
ether blank books intended for business
use.
Though long before gilt edges were
thought Of the ornamerting ct the plain
white edges o. books to initiate marble
was popular. there has been little OF no
change ;E the process since It's first in.
production.
1t is generally supposed that all such
details have come under the stamp of
the hookmaker 5 art unit. there is roth.
ing left in them to remind enc of their
hrst ana earliest days. but not with
marb.ing As time has gone OF the pop.
a.arity of this method of embellishing
paper has grown less. Consequently
there has been 10 need to devise means
by which it could be more speedily done.
There have been some Improvements in
the original methods. but most book
binders still! stick to the old way as
good enough.
Instead Of books whizzing through
machinery one after another and taking
on their Znarbled edges in some mysteri.
Gus manner. as might be supposed. each
book is taken by hand separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together.
into the liquid that marks their edges
with the many colored little veins. be-
fore the covers are put ON.
A trough about two inches deep is
filled with gum water. on the surface of
which various colored pigments have
been thrown and disposed in various
forms with comb and coarse wire teeth.
The cans OF liquid paint are ranged
along the sides Of the trough, and from,
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long. soft hairbrushes that ars
held over the water and allowed to drip.
One color is put down right over the
other. and the wide. coarse comb drag
ged through them. The books are cx.
tremely dexterously dipped into the wa
ter. and the colors adhering to their
edges are set by dashing cold water over
them. But one of the three edges at q
time can be marbleized and set up on
end to dry before the book can be han
died again for another dipping. Thus
the variegated edges Of books aud mar
bled papers for the sides aud covers oi
them are produced.
The process may seem . little slow,
but it answers all the needs that thu
bookbinder finds for it.-St Louis Re

Nopoleon's Manners,

Napoleon was rude. His manners
were coarse. and when at table he ate
az fast as he could chew and swallow,
shoveling the food into his mouth with
his knife and using his fingers whenever
they came into more convenient en-
ployment. When talking to his officers,
he often. as friendly favor, pulled
their whiskers or pinched their ears.
To women he was almost invariably Of.
fensive. sometimes uttering language so
coarse as to bring a flush of shame to
their cheeks and the tears to their eyes.

ST. PAUL, June S.-The three suits
brought by George H. Hastings, as attor.
ney general, against Oliver Ames, George
Smith and Henry L. Higginson, individ.
ually, were dismissed in tho United
States circuit court for want Of jurisdic.
ton. In announcing the decision Judge
Thayer handed down long opinion Gov.
ering the history Of the case. The ques-
tion Is one Of freight rates in the state of
Nebraska. which were covered by . recent
law regulating such rates. Action was
brought against these defendants to test
this law. and they were charged with Sc
curing the property Of others without
giving a consideration Of value in return.
Must Go to tho supreme Court.
This charge was based on the statement
that these defendants in securing the
freight under the laM9 of Nebraska were
crowding out other competitors and in
that way gradually securing their prop
erty. The circuit court in the district Of
Nebraska held that the charge was true
and from that decision an appeal was
taken to the United States circuit court
of appeals. where IL has now been de-
cided that the question, being one of con :.
stitutiOnal construction, should be passed
upon by the United States supreme court.
The case Is therefore dismissed for want
Of jurisdiction.

Perhaps the most notable tendency
which Brooklynites display In speaking Is
that Of putting an sound on every word
ending IN or aw. Eight Of ten people you
hear say mommer and pepper and the
idear, also lawr, sawr, jawr, etc. Another
popularity commonly encountered is that
attending the pronunciation of oi in such
words as oil, point, etc. Oil as given by
Brooklyn people Is not quite so bad as orl.
but comes pretty near 1t, a sort Of sound
being introduced.
On the contrary, when the sound Of r
shouldn't be distinctly heard 1t Is fire.
auontly omitted in such words as world,
first third, pronounced woild, foist and
thoid. This popularity is, however, more
characteristic Of New Yorkers than of
Brooklyntes. The Latin prefix per in per-
spirntion and in perhaps is often pro-
nounccd as though 1t were pre-, ms prespi-
ration and prehaps. In fact, 1t was only
the other day that professor in the boys
high school, an English teacher and doc
tor of philosophy, was heard to remark
that prehaps' somsthing was So" Some
other mistakes frequently made arc carous-
el for carrousel, again for agen, ben for
been and sassy for sauoy.
The worst barbarism, however, Is prac-
tlced In pronouncing proper names. Who
but Brooklynite would have the courage
to pronounce Schermerhorn as Skemma-
hornf Elevated railroad guards, whose
chief duty it is to call out the correct
names of the stations will invariably cx-
claim Ellum place and Norstand avenue.
Have we no better way to honor the mem
ory of those two great men. Putnam and
Lafayette, than to call the streets named
after them Pootnam avenue and Layfay-
cite avenueP Or is 1t because Brooklynites
do not know who these men wereP Ger
tainly it cannot be on account Of their
ignorance of history, because these mis-
takes occur not infrequently among people
seemingly we'll educated. Brooklyn Ea-
