EARLY ENGLISH BINDINGS.
An Edinburgh Man Who Executed Some
Beautiful Work.

An Edinburgh Man Who Executed Some
Beautiful Work.
During the reign OF Elizabeth the
fashion in binding underwent a consid-
cradle change, the graceful simplicity
of the early work, with its rather severe
and restrained ornament, giving place
to a heavy, over-decorated style, in
which a superabundance of gliding hid
poverty Of design, says the Athenaeum,
This style reached its height In the
bindings produced for James l., which
were commonly dotted all over with
fowers-de-luce or thistles- while the
corners were filled with a heavy block
of coarse design. During the reign OF
Charles the bindings were, as a rule
copied from French work and the de-
signs carried out with very small tools
but though foreign influence wal
strongly felt at first, the English bind
ers soon struck M a line Of their own
and Samuel Mearne, the binder to
Charles H., produced some admirable
work and seems To have introduced the
quantity shaped panel which gave the
name to cottage binding to a certain
class Of work. At a little later date
an Edinburgh binder whose name is
unknown, but whose work is easily dis
t~inguishable, executed some marvellous
pieces Of work ON very dark green
morocco.

In the great majority Of cases the
furnishing Of bedrooms is left to
chance. That is, the different articles
Of chamber furniture are arranged in
the separate rooms. as convenience
dictates with such regard for congrui-
ty as is possible: or perhaps COM
plete chamber suites are purchased
from the dealer and little attempt is
made to go beyond this. II either
course is followed, the result may be
comfortable. but will scarcely prove
satisfying, or artistic, in the aesthetic
sense. OF late years rather more at.
tention has been bestowed upon the
bedrooms, and we have adopted the
"boudoir' together with the furnish
ings that the name implioA for my
lady's chamber" But "boudoir" too
often means a room stuffed full OF
dainty and fragile bric-a-brac, useless
ornaments and hangings. This style
of treatment might be permissible for

HOW INDIANS ARE NAMEn.
why Their Titles Are Constantly Bcina
Changed.


AS the Indian child grows he COM
mits acts from time to time each Of
which gives him n new name. For eY-
ample, he may see a bear and run
screaming to the tepee. says the Re-
view OF Reviews. The folks laugh at
him and call him Runs-from-a-bear
Later on he may become the possessor
Of an unruly pony which he fears to
ride and becomes known as Afraid-of-
his-horse. Or, he may mou a horse
from which another Indian has been
thrown, and he then is spoken Of as
Rides-the-horse. Further on he be-
comes a great hunter and kills I've
bears. and they call him Flve-bears,
and when he Stays another his name
changes to Slx-bears. He may per-
form a valiant deed In battle and ride
his horse through the camp OF the EN-
envy, for which he is dubbed Charges
through-the-camp. During a conflict
he may kill one OF the en-
envy. II his victim Ii the only one
slain he is called Kills-the-enemy. But
II others fall the one he has killed
must be described as K~ills-the-one-
with-the big-knee. II he braids In his
hair a yellow feather which he has
plucked from the tail Of an eagle he
may be called Eagle-tall. Eagle-feath-
er, Yellow-tail or Yellow-feather. II he
gives II to his friend he will be named
Gives-feather, but II he refuses to part
with II his name will change to Keeps
his-feather. Or he may obtain his
name from some other object. II he is
accustomed to ride what Is commonly
known as a calico horse. he may be
called Spotted-horse, but II his horse
has n short tail he will be known as
Bob-tail-horse. The chances are that
he will be known by all the foregoing
names. His enemies In the tribe will
continue to speak Of him as Long
ears. transformations, or Afraid-of-
his horse, while his friends will call
him Ridesthe-horse, Six-bears OF
KiIls-the-enemy. For this reason II
occurs that II you speak Of the Indian
in the presence Of certain members o
the tribe and call him Six-bears the,
will laugh at you and say: THAT no
his name; his name Runs-from-a
bear" But II you speak Of him to Ger
tain others as Transformations the!
will scowl and say: THAT not hi

Hence II will be seer that the Indiai
names are nothing, a delusion and
snare. and the practice Of convertini
them into English appears eminentl
unwise. II Is certain that the nam

Apropos Of the arrest OF q young wom-
an In New York for having run over
a man on Fifth avenue, the writer Of
this paragraph wildly recalls his expe-
rience In the same city and on the same
avenue some time ago, says the Boston
Herald. 1t was on a wintry day In Feb
ruary INT the sloighing was good. A
barge drawn by four spirited horses
and filled with a merry sleighing party
came gliding down the avenue. the
horses In full gallop. At one OF the
crossings the leaders struck the young
man from Boston. who was thrown fat
on his back. the four horses passing
over him on the run Before the horses
could be stopped the barge had partly
passed over the PROSTATE body OF tho
young man and he was pulled out from
between the fore and aft runners. There
were screaming and faintihg among
the crowd who witnessed the spectacle.
but luckily the young man had no
cause to join In the shrieking or swoon-
Ing. He had gone through his frightful
experience without mourning a scratch
or a bruise. On regaining his feet a
policeman rushed up and shouted:
This Is an outrage, sir. Shall | arrest

Young man from Boston. ANY man
who can drive four horses and a barge
over me without injurlng me deserves

So Large It Took Three Weeks to Move
1t Fifty Feet.
An unusual feat in the transplanting
line was accomplished recently here,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. An elm
tree fifty feet high and with a trunk
eighteen inches in diameter, with roots
and all, was moved fifty feet. The tree
Is the property Of Mrs. william Thaw
and stood on the line OF the Beechwood
boulevard, where II traverses Mrs.
Thaw's property at Fifth avenue, near
Shady avenue. Mrs. Thaw desired to
save the tree. and Contractor John
Eichleay undertook to move 1t. A cir
cular trench was dug around the tree
at a distance of ten feet from the trunk.
AZ a depth Of six feet the workman
e~Acavated under the tree, bracing the
earth above with timbers. The mass
of earth, twenty feet across and six
feet deep, in which were imbedded the
tree and its roots, was then boxed In
with planks. Screws were placed be-
meath, the whole mass raised and
placed on rollers and moved fifty feet
to where a great hole had been pre-
pared for it's reception. II was lowered
into place, earth filled in as the screws
were removed. and 1t stood as firm az
II II had grown there. The tree was
maintained in an upright position by
the weight of earth at the roots. The
whole mass weighed seventy tons. The
work occupied about three weeks and
a number of photographs Of the tree
while in transit were taken.

The sensation that followed this re-
mar'kable climax was not soon stilled,
but when quiet was at length restored
everybodys attention was attracted TO
the prosecutrix. She had never lifted
her face from the time the defendant
had mentioned the dead boy. She was
still sitting with her face concealed
lost in thought, and 1t is likely that
she never knew the conclusion of the
defendants statement. She looked up
at last impressed by the silence and
seeing the court gazing toward her as
he fingered his books and arose wearily
and unstcadily.

The defendant came down from the

black a moment. Then he bent over
her, but the only words any one caught
were "Cooney" and little Tom" He
patted her shoulder with his rought,
sun-burned hand. She hesitated a mo-
ment and then, drawing down her veil,
she took his arm and in silence left the
courtroom. There was a sudden burst
