HOW TO PRINT A BOOK.

Cannot BE Taught in an Essay or e
Volume.
How properly to plan or print book
is not to be taught in an essay or even
in a volume as well try TO give a
formula for the painting of picture or
the writing of poem, says the Outlook.
II must be presupposed that the planner
of a new book is familiar with we'll
printed books, that be has some linowl-
edge of the processes Of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts.
Refusal TO seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an extensively il
Illustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the full-page Illus
trationS to be printed in an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard of an
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little for
the illustrations. The binder had to cut
off the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print to single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
understandable method. So treated,
the book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time, wasted paper, increased cost
and bad workmanship could have been
avoided if the author had formed plan
and counseied with an expert.

the Democrat, the cry of persecution was
always raised and the decision was pro-
nounced an outrage on the South. The
absence of such expressions now are
proofs that public opinion in the South
ern States is coming to condemn these
frauds and to recognize the need of honest
elections.
No less significant is the attitude of the
Northern Democratic and Mugwump
newspapers on this Alabama case. Until
recently every attempt to expose frauds
on the baIlot-boX in the South has been
sure to rai.e the cry of "bloody shirt" and
the claim that the Republicans were seek
ing again to awaken sectional prejudice
and strife. This was undoubtedly done to
keep the South solidly Democratic and
prevent the growth of public opinion
there against these outrages on elections.
The change in the attitude Of Southern
newspapers is, however, no more decided
than that i'll the position of Northern
newspapers The decision of the House
of Representatives is approved by the lat
ter and the complete exposure of the frauds
pra.ticed is declared to be the only way of
stopping these outrages in the future.
This changed attitude Of Northern and
Southern newspapers on this question is
encouraging. 1t shows that the subject of
honest elections is no longer considered
partisan one. 1t is coming to be acknowl-
edged as a question which rises above
party and affects the very constitution of
the government itself. If one party is to
be allowed to succeed through fraud there
can be no free government in this country
Honesty must prevail at the ballot box if
the people are to rule. All sections and
all parties should recognize this fact and
unite to make fraud at elections infamous.

Symptoms OF euoK FEVER.
) MtchisaErs MINIS First Experience

= aitchiGaErs MINIS First Experience
with IA Deer.
A Marquette citizen tells the Mar.
quette Mining Journal his experience
with buck fever" He had never tried
10 shoot a deer, and hunting them was
hew to him. After spending few hours
trampirg through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down on log to rest for a
short tine. Now, like most hunters, he
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
Filling the pipe, he smoked for time
without interruption, when, happening
TO turn his head little to one side, he
saw a large buck coming straight
toward him, AS luck would have it,
he had sat down to smoke near deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until be got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While the hunter was watching the APP
preach Of the deer he forgot that he mad
a gun. and that the deer was his meat"
He began to tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and it was a difficult
matter for him to restrain 4 yell Of
fright lie watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then, feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that it
lay on the ground near his feet. By
the time he had picked it up the deer
was out of range, and then he discov-
cred that in his excitement he had bit
ten the mouthpiece of his pipe in two.
lie was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on, as it seemed to him that he was
the game and the deer the hunter.

New York, Feb. lS.-R. G.. Dunn's Re

The dreadful disaster to the Maine much

affected business. Only in the stock mar

OTHER speculative market was affected.

British Exports for 1887.

From the tables printed by the London
Economist" Of the exports of British
manufactures for the year ended with
December, 1897, total decrease Of 2.4
per cent. appears as compared with 1896.
The largest decreases are in cotton piece
goods, 1915 per cent. wooden fabrics,
III worsted fabrics, 1913: carpets, 49,
wooden and worsted warns, 14.5; jute
piece goods, 7.3 linen yarns, GO; linen
goods, 81 silk manufactures, 5,S; re-
fined sugar, 203; boots and shoes, 1872;
arms and ammunition, 22.S earthen-
ware, 8.
Among the principle items where an in
crease Of exports is shown over 1926 is
English wool, of Which large quantities
found their way to America, duty free,
under the wilson German tariff, 113.S per
cent; leather, a.; Goals, 90; iron and
steel, 80. But for the extra large increase
in the exports Of wool the per centage Of
decrease would be very much larger than
"a. The falling OIL in the exports of cot
ton piece goods amounted to SIG, $50, 10,
while the gross decrease in exports for the
year was SOS. $50, 900.

Honest Elections Gaining Ground

Philadelphia Press
More than ordinary significance at
taches to the decision of the House of
Representatives last week to unseat the
Democratic claimant from the Fourth
Congressional District Of Alabama and
give his place 70 the Republican contest
ant. Tile proofs of fraud were clear and
decisive and would have convinced any
impartial tribunal of the fact that the
election had been vitiated by the grossest
ballot-box stufing and false counting.
But similar cases have been decided
before on proof just as clear. This time,
however, there has been none of the
clamor from Southern Democratic news
papers which for thirty years past has been
invariably raised when a contested seat
case from the South was decided against a
Democrat and in favor Of Republican.
No matter how palpable the fraud on the
ballot-box was or how unjust the claim of

REPUBLICAN, VICTORY.
BY Standing Firmly to Principle the
Party Can Garry the Next Congress.

Party Can Garry the Next Congress.
Boston Journal Rep
solicitude is felt among many Republi-
cans as to the result of the approaching
elections for Congress The existing Re
publican majority is not large, and sur
vey of the field discloses not a few districts
now represented by Republicans which,
by reason Of dissensions or mismanage-
ment, are likely to be menacingly close'
From the Republican point of view the
situation is at least sufficiently serious to
demand reflection, while our political OPP
ponents are already, in Imagination, select
ing Speaker and apportioning committee
appointments.
For our own part we believe that the
Republicans, by effective work, cannot
only control the next House, but can Sc
cure a majority in sufficient number Of
Legislatures to give us an actual majority
in the Senate after the 4th Of March next.
But it is question for Republican leaders
to consider under what conditions the Re-
publican party will be best equipped to
enter 4 confessedly important and possibly
critical campaign. Shall it enter the con-
test with the record of brief but barren
session Of Congress, with the important
questions Of legislation shelved and no
positive results worth mentioning, beyond
the passage Of appropriation bills? Or
shall it resolute!y carry through or, if it
cannot carry through, make determined
and obviously sincere effort to pass, such
measures as the annexation of Hawaii, the
bill for the restriction Of immigration and
bill for currency reform, going at least
as far as the recommendations made by
President Mckinley? All of those ques-
tons are embodied in the platform upon
which the Republican party won its great
victory in 1896 Shall the party enter the
Congressional campaign Of 1898 without
making an effort to carry Quits promises?
THIS is a question worth considering by
all who remember that not alone party
supremacy, but possibly also the national
credit and good name, may depend upon
the result.

WASHINGTON's BIRTHDAY.

Abate your tolls, We faithful sons;
Commemorate the day
On which our Washington was born,
With patriotic lay,
This day noble son was born
To set his country free,
And give the world leader in
Its quest for liberty.
No titled minlons heralded
The young child's birth,
His name was not recorded then
Among the great of earth.
His loyal father named hm George,
In honor of his king,
ue knew not that his sovereign's ears
Should hear bis praises ring.
His father sowed some cabbage seed
So as TO spell his name;
But mighty deeds have writtenit
High on the Shaft of fame.
We sometimes doubt the Ratchet tale
They told on little George;
But all admire the noble man
That knelt at Valley Forge.
His faith in God was firm and strong,
He sought Fathers care,
And hum0ly bowed his hum bic form
Before the Lord in prayer.
His manly bosom swelled with pride,
He knew and loved the right,
And when his hand found aught to 10
He did it with his might.
He did not trust in chance or luck,
But honest, faithful work;
And no one worthy to succeed
Will any duty shirk.
He boosted not Of royal blood,
But Was q leader born,
Whose leadership none seemed to doubt,
Whose name none dared TO scorn.
This plain, majestic, silent man
Of modesty and worth
Has won an honored place and name
That do not come by birth.
Aud when the guns of Lexington
Re-echoed through the land
Oar dauntless host of volunteers
Called Lin to take command.
His sword was never drawn except
In freedoms holy name;
His goal was human liberty,
Not honor, wealth OF fame.
A foeman worthy of their steel
His adversaries found,
Who looked upon his native land
As consecrated ground.
Three years they fought 'gainst fearful odds
Nor sought one sword its sheath,
But every freeman raised the cry
Of victory or death"
Our Congress met and solemn4y,
The fourth day of July,
Declared this nation should be free
Or all her sons would die.
His hand designed the stars and stripes"-
Oar proud red, white and blue"
And set a star for every state
In field Of azure hue.
Through storm and flood, through shot an(
This banner was unfurled, shell
ana our GOlullDlI SlOON tllOlIS
The nations Of the world.
Before the French and Colonists
The British flag went down,
And peans rose from gallant hearts
In front Of old Yorktown.
Full seven years in conflict fierce
Out hero bravelv spent,
And then a nations gratitude
Twice made him President.
"The first in war and first in peace"
Poms forth from glade and glen,
And first in patriotic hearts
OF all his countrymen.
Upon hundred battle-felds
He led our legions brave,
And now cold glory fondly waves
Above his honored grave.
"The father Of his country" rests,
His faithful work is done,
But on his natal day we sing
The praise Of Washington.
