BOOK BINDINGS.

1t is related of a certain famous editor
that whenever he was handed copy to
read the first thing he did was to turn
to the last sheet ana blue pencil out the
last sentence without ever reading it.
He did this because lac said any one
could write an article, but 1t took a gen
ius to know when to stop. Rarely was
he wrong-the article always read better
after his doctoring.
Writers of books are afflicted in the
same way. Their closing sentences are
nine times out of ten as superfous and
awkward as the extra good byes ladies
indulge in when trying to break away
from each other.
Taken at random from books which
have been published this season, one
finds a remarkable array. In Gilbert
Parker's "When Nalmond came to Pom
tiac" the last sentence runs:
Their figures agains; the setting sun |
took on strange FURNISHED radiance,

WHY PEOPLE 60 MAD.
An Analysis of the Cases Of Many
Thousands of Victims.

Rarely can one find more depressing
story of human ills than that which is
told at the sixth annual report of the
state commission of lunacy, recently Civ
en- out by the state printer in Albany,
says the American Medical Review In
the table showing the causes which sent
I6,2oS people TO the county asylums dur
ing the six years covered by the Stats
ties may be found some curious states
ments. Thus in spite of the supposed
deleterious influence of cigarette smok-
ing, but one woman and one man were
driven insane by the habit, but excessive
smoking of tobacco in other forms sent
10 men and 3 women to the asylums.
One woman became insane through the
extraction of her teeth and one girl lost
her mindthrough fear of punishment.
An incorporate desire to acquire knowl-
edge forever stopped the studies of 20
men and II women. Overwork broke |
down the minds of 252 men and 42o
women. Intemperance in alcoholic |
drinks accomplished the undoing of |
I,227 men and 2I2 women. No other
cause claimed so many victims among
men. Besides these there were some
100 who became insane through drink
with some other cause. and
is curious fact that one of these was

The opium habit claimed II men and p

THE HOUSESMlTHs' STRIKE.
A New Trade That Has Sprung Up Within
Few Years.

rev 1edrS.
The strike of the Housesmiths' union,
which now threatens general inter-
ruption of building in New York city,
is indirectly due to the fact that science
and invention have recently produced
the new industry of converting iron in
to "house timber. " A new trade has
been the result. Employment is being
given to an increasing number of me-
chanics who are to structural iron what
carpenters are to woodwork, what ma
sons are to brick and stone. They are
called housesniths.
Within the past ten years the business
OF manufacturing iron and putting it
in place as the framework of business
buildings has assumed great proportions
and developed still greater possibilities
The fireproof building supported by a
structural iron frame il already the
business building of the cities. 1t will
be still more the building of the future.
Progress is often unnoticed until it
develops such friction as is a result Of
the relations between members of the
Iron league, who supply the iron frame
work for modern buildings, aud the
housesmiths, who put it in place.
lnconvenient as such friction is, it is
an indication of the remarkable growth
in the building trade which has taken
place so recently that the public has
hardly had time to realize it New
