Women's work in bookbinding has
risen to the dignity of an exhibition
of its own in London. Book designing
for covers, illustrating, and even bind
ing to certain extent are not I'M
known to many women in our own
land, but this London exhibit marks
an advance in at least one sphere of
woman's work. Within recent years
women's interest in clubs las
caused large increase in those social
and beneficial organizations, and the
field is still open for Woman's Book
binders club. Under the name of the
Guild of Women Binders, such an as
sociation is already in existence in Eng
land, and the recent exhibit was com
posed of specimens of its members
work. This guild was the outcome of
small exhibition held year ago. 1t
was an experiment, but the idea, com
bined with the artistic beauty Of the
bindings, met with wide approval.
Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales,
and other members of the royal family
were glad to become patrons of this
branch of women's work and gave it
both personal and pecuniary encour-
agement. It's membership is now
somewhat over sixty, and includes
several women whose names have be-
come we'll known as artists in book
binding,

The latest budget of news from the
native kingdom of Tonga mentions
the disappearance of an island in the
Pacific, under circumstances that seem
to lend some color to popular super
stition. On Oct. 10, 1885, the inhab-
itants of the Tongan capital Witnessed
one of the grandest natural pyrotech-
meal displays of the century. Some
80 miles to the northwest submarine
volcano suddenly started operations,
throwing columns of steam and feath-
ers of fire to an estimated height of
1000 feet. When the performance
was over and people thought it safe
enough to approach, it was found that
a new island six miles long, two miles
broad and 300 feet high had been
added to the map of the world. 1t
was christened Falcon Island, but no.
body cared to settle on it. People
who promenaded it's surface had sem
sation akin to walking on pie crust.
Fragile and unsubstantial as it was, it
managed to live for exactly IS years,
finally sinking and disappearing from
human view on Oct. 10, in the year
1898. No matter what the Thirteenth
club may say, if that bold body is still
in existence, which we doubt, there is
something uncanny about that partic-
ular number. London Chronicle.

a Quick Lunch Panic.

Panic has fallen upon the quick
lunch places of New York. From
''beanery" to "beanery" along Broad
way the rumor has spread and
with its spread the hearts of res
taurapt keepers that cater to the
modern purse have grown cold with
fear.
The rumor is that western firm
whose bakery lunch rooms have won
it fame and fortune is about to invade
New York. That is not itself dis
piriting, for rivals come and rivals go,
and some survive year in and year
ont.
The fear inspiring part of the rumor
is that the new firm is to introduce q
new cut in pie, selling quarter of a
pie for fivecent piece.
Every New York restaurant keeper
cuts his pies in six pieces. The cheap
est "beanery" gets its thirty cents for
a seven-cent pie sold by the piece.
But now the nightmare of quartered
pies at nickel quarter drawing
away his customers is ever before the
proprietor. New York Herald.
