Another One OF These Very Sudden
Proposals,
Slowly the great steamer steamed from
The dock, Between two stern parents a
young girl In tears stood watching the re-
eeding shore
A hstiess young man rushed out on the
pier and stretched out his arms toward the
ship.
AIasi that parents will be so hardhearted.
MARY" he cried, ''will you be my Wife?
and the sad waves rocked.
A year had passed,
The young man had discovered a gold
mine on Broadway, and was now worth
S59,000,000
He rode to the pier in a fine carriage.
When the plank was lowered the young
lady and her parents came ashore.
''Oh, Aigernon, the young girl cried as
she blushingly laid her head on his manly
bosom, "this IS so sudden!"-N. Y Jour

Fast Book Making bv Machinery

While machinery has not improved the
quality of books, it has at least greatly
reduced their cost, and while rich col
lectors may look with scorn on the crude
output of cheap books, they are doing
a great work for Nopular education. The
| New York Times gives some interesting
facts in regard to recent developments
in this line.
American genius is to be credited with
the modern bookbinding machinery, but
England has always stood first in the
superiority of her hand binding-per-
haps does today-but she has had to
come TO the United States for machinery
with which to keep her bindery equip
ments abreast with the developments Of
the time. In this particular, as in the
production of printing presses, Amer
lea leads the world. 1t is often COM
mented on as a peculiar fact that Ger
many which invented printing, lags be-
hind France, England and the United
States in the production Of books; that
is, in artistic covers and good binding.
France has been at the front in the mat
ter of taste and finish, but has never
euualed England in the strength and
general excellence of binding Neither
country equals the United States in the
development of facilities. 1t is not too
much to say that for speed and general
effectiveness the United States leads
all nations.
There are over 100 bookbinderies in
New York, and nearly half the number
are equipped with appliances for the
highest class of work. The capacity of
these binderies is wonderful. There is
an instance on record where New York
publishing house--and not the largest
took an orol=r ON Monday for cloth
covered 12mo volumes of $50 pages and
actually shipped 20o0 copies of the book
or, the following Wednesday. The type
was set (by machinery for the entire
$50 pages before work stopped Monday
night. Electrotype plates were made so
rapidly that on Tuesday morning sew
eral printing presses were set in motion.
In the meantime covers were being made
in the bindery and by Wednes sdiay morn
ing the binders had the book in hand.
Two thousand volumes were completed
that DAY, ard the edition of 10000 was
entirely out of the way before Saturday
night. While the typesetting and press
work seem remarkable, the craftsmen
understand that the bindery is entitled
to the greatest praise.
