How properly to plan or print a book is
not to be taught in an essay or even in a
volume. AS well try to give formula for
the painting of picture or the writing of
poem. 1t must be presupposed that the
planner of a new book is familiar with
well printed books, that he has some
knowledge 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 illus
trated quarto before page was put in
type, by ordering the full page illustra-
tons to be printed in an improper position
on the leaf. In disregard of another pro-
test from the topographic printer, he in
sisted 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 lit
tie 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 un-
workmanlike method. So treated, the
book barely passed acceptance. The lost
time, wasted paper, increased cost and bad
workmanship could have been avoided il
the author had formed a plan and counsel
ed with an expert. l.. Dc

Found by Saul.

In 1864 regiment of Confederates
from South Carolina were marching
North to join Lee. While in North
Carolina they camped one day on two
opposite hills, between which road
run. 1t happened that an old Metho-
dist preacher, strong UniOnist, lived
in that vicinity. Early the next morn
ing the Preacher mounted his mule
and trotted down the road, meaning to
pass through the camp to show his con-
tempt for the 'rebels." He was very
old man, with stern face and long,
white beard, which, taken with his
white hair, gave him the appearance
decidedly patriarchial.
"Hullo, fellows, here comes Faith r
Abraham !" called one soldier to com
rade on the opposite hill, as the old
man rode between them.
"No, he isn't" shouted back the other
she's Father Jacobw
The old parson stopped and shook the
finger of sCorn at the laughing soldiers.
81 am neither Father Abraham nor
Father jacob" he cried A knot of
soldiers gathered about him.
"Well, who are you, them" persisted
deny you are out of the Old Testament
somewhere"
The old man rose in his stirrups and
waved his hand toward the camp in
comprehensive contempt.
ayes, | am out of the Old Testament
sure enough" he roared. "I'm Saul
the son of Kish, looking for his faith er's
asses, and I've found hem."-Argonau ut

THE ESCALOP.
How 1t Comes About That Beds of Them
Are Discovered In Long Familiar Waters.

How 1t Comes About That Beds OF Them
Are Discovered In Long Familiar Waters.
1t may be source of wonderment to one
not familiar with the habits of the escalop
to read, as he does at intervals, that great
bed of them has been found--as, for in
stance, recently in Great South bay-in
waters that are well known, that are con-
stantly fished and that have been regular
ly fished for years. The wonder is that
the escalops there were not discovered be-
fore. The fact is that they were not there,
and the explanation of that Is found in the
fact that the escalOp has the power Of
locomotion. The oyster in the early stages
of It's existence is a free swimmer, but
from the time that it attaches itself to
something and begins to grow into it's
final and familiar form, which it does
when it is still very minute, it remains
fixed. The escalop, however, Is able to
move about, and sometimes it comes to the
top of the water. 1t could do this easily
in four or five feet of water it might reach
the top from two or three times that depth.
1t is sometimes taken in nets, the escalop
being off the bottom and higher above it
than the lead line of the net in which it is
| taken.
The escalop moves itself by expelling
column Of water from its shell. 1t can
open and close it's shell freely 1t takes in
water, which it forces out again against
the surrounding water. 1t moves about,
and beds are found in various places, and
escalops bedded here today might be some
where else tomorrow. Fishermen taking
cscalops and holding them for the market,
If they keep them in the water, put them
into crates with Stats close enough tOgeth
er to keep them in. There is IL story of a
man not yet acquainted with the habits Of
escalops who, fishing for them one day.
planted them as he gathered them in the
water around stake, where they would
keep in good shape and be all together and
handy to take up when he wanted them to
carry to market in the morning But in
the morning when he went to take them
up every escalop was gone.-New York
