How to Open a New Book
BY a Practical Bookbin6er.

Hold the book with its back on g
smooth or covered table; let the from
board down, then the other, holding
the leaves in one hand while you open
few leaves at the back, then few at
the front, and so 60 on, alternately
opening back and front, gently press
ing open the sections till you reacl
the center of the volume. Do Thu
two or three times and you will obtair
the best results. Open the volume
violently or carelessly in any one
place and you will likely break thu
back and cause start in the leaves
Never force the back. If it does no
yield to gentle opening, rely upon il
the back is too tightly or strongly
lined.
A connoisseur many years ago, al
excellent customer of mine, wht
thou ht he knew perfectly how t.
handle books, came into my oflic,
where had an expensive binding jus
brought from the bindery ready to b.
sent home. He, before my eyes, tool

ing the leaves in each hand, instead o
allowing them free play, violentl!

" How beautifully your bindings

broken the back of the volume, and i

NEW STYLE MONEY ORDER.
A Great Improvement Over the Old Form
Of Blanks.

The new form is somewhat smaller
than the order now in use. Its di-
mansions are about those of the ordi-
nary bank draft. 1t has two adjunets
the advice, or notification to be
sent by the issuing to the paying post
master, is a reproduction of the order
through the use of carbonized pape r
(the manifold process), and a peceipt
for the amount, to be furnished by the
issuing postmaster to the RENTER.
On the back of the order separate
space has been provided for the
stamps of banks through which it
may be passed for collection.
The advantages of the new form
are many. Through the process men.
toned (the carbon, Or manifold pro-
cess), the order and the advice are
produced simultaneously. BY the
same operation the essential particu-
lars of name of payec, date, amount,
and place of payment. as written in
the order, are duplicated, or repro
duced, and made to appear in the
advice precisely as in the order. The
liability to mistake is thus greatly
lessened. and a saving of time effected.
Discrepancies between order and ad.
vice, which, by entailing additional
correspondence and causing delay in
payment, have heretofore been o
source of annoyance to the depart
ment and postmasters, as well as to
remitters and payees, are prevented,
and absolute uniformity between the
order and advice insured. The des-
patch of advices, which hitherto have
not been made out until after issue OF
the orders, will also be accelerated.
The receipt, which is to be furnished
by the issuing postmaster to the re-
mitter, showing the number and date
of the order and the amount for which
issued, is also, in the main, a repro
duction, by the carbon process, of the
writing and stamping on the order,
hence must necessarily agree there
with. The adoption of u receipt has
not hitherto been practicable. 1t will
tend to popularize the postal money
! order, supplying more than all else
what was needed to make it, in the
estimation OF the public, a perfectly
satisfactory vehicle for the transmits
sion OF small sums. Possession OF the
receipt will give the RENTER feeling
OF security. On the back of it he may
make, for his own convenience, a
memorandum of the name and adj
dress of the person to whom the re-
mittance is made and the purpose for
which it is sent. Production of the
receipt will greatly facilitate reference
to the records if it become necessary
for the remitter to make application

for duplicate order or inquiry as tc
whether the original has been paid
and here again a saving of time will
be effected.
The postal money order system
from a small beginning in 1864, when
the number of money oder post
offices established in the United
States was 419, has grown to be one OIL
the great indispensable agencies OF ex
change. There are now about 10000
such offices. The number Ct domes
tic money orders issued in tie United
States during the past year was over
3O,OOO,OOO amounting in value to
$2l0,OOO.OOO. 1t is expected that on
or about January LIST next the fec
charged for money orders will be ma.
terially reduced.

THE MAN From BOSTON.
Indifferent In al Topics Until the Stranger
Called Asuinaldo Gezsbu.

A good story is told of q man in q
street Car who wanted to be sociable
and endeavored to enter into CONVEX
sation with a sour-looking, side
whiskered, cold-eyed, precisely dressed
man along side of him. The social
cuss started in with the weather and
and was decidedly snubbed; he then
tried the Dreyfus case, with the same
result, countered off on the base ball,
said it was rocky road to Dublin but
the sour fellow said he had never been
there; the arrival of Dewey met the
same fate as did Bryan and the silver
question, McKinley's candidacy, the
Cuba and Philippine policy and sew
eral other topics. Finally he opened
up again with:
"Seem t be havin' some trouble
roundup up that cheap gezebu of a
blatherskite, Aguinaldo, down there
in the Philippines, amt they?"
The sour-visaged man bridled.
Blatherskitew he exclaimed, turn
ing haughtily upon the fat-faced man
"You don't know what you are talk
ing about. He's the champion of ar
outraged people, and you'll find thai
when the iron heel of the popular vot'
is placed upon the neck of the Ad
ministration that is responsible TO
this Infamous persecution of mel
struggling for their liberty that"
But the fat-faced man had reaches
his getting-of place. AS he clutchet
the stanchion, preparatory to hopping
off, he looked the sour-faced maj
square in the eye, grinned, and asked
"Hey, mister, how are things u
around Boston, anyhow"
With which Parthian dart he 60
off.

IT is often desirable to insert screws
in plastered walls, and it is found hard
to make them hold. The hole made
by the screw should be enlarged, and
the edge of the plaster thoroughly
moistened with water. Then fill the
space with plaster of paris and press
the screw in the soft plaster. When
the plaster has become hard the screw
will be held very firmly.
