on Porto Riean products other than

the exact width of the book, but one
eighth of an inch longer, top and bottom,
which, in figure > is lettered A. and the
sides b b. The dotted lines on b B show
the size of the book. and proportionately
how much larger the cover boards should
be on the three sides.
From a skin of thin tan leather cut a
piece three-eishths of an inch larger all
around than the size of the boards and
back piece when they are spread about
oue-eighth of an inch apart, and having
glued the inside of the leather at the
center, apply the piece a, then glue each
side in success on and place the pieces
j b in the proper position.
The top and bottom may then be turned
over and glued down 10 the boards A and
b. then the outer edges in turn, taking
care to make a neat joint at the corners.
If the leather is too thick to lay down
nicely where IL is Tapped over. the edges
should be pared off with sharp knife. so
1t IS beveed. and when glued Will grad
ually slope down to the boards.
The lining paper is made by folding a
piece of paper over and tipping 1t with
paste along the side of the fold. 1t must
be applied to the book as close to the crash
as possible, and set after the manner
shown al c in figure !.
Fancy and colored papers may be en-
ployed for this purpose, but good quail
ity of white paper is usually all that Is
necessary.
To fasten in the book apply glue 20
the inside OF the cover boards where the
crash should be fastened by pressing it
down on the glue, as shown in figure 8.
The outside leaf of the lining paper Is
then pasted and pressed down to the in
side of the cover where 1t hides the crash
and makes a finish to che inside OF the
covers.
While the book is still damp place il on
ban

and the next day the book will feel solid

Mrs. White has bred and raised two fine
filters.
She has adopted a rather different
course of treatment for these delicate
creatures than is customary here. which.
in the light of her success, is worthy of
attention Instead of pampering them
keeping them on silken cushions free
from draughts, she has allowed them 20
rough il more or less. They generally ar
rive in the spring, when the climate here
is not unlike their own, and gradually be-
come accustomed to it's changes; at least
they take their chances with the weather
going out for their run every day. For
the rest Mrs. White gives them their IA
vorite diet of rice and fish, with now and
then a little meat and soda crackers.
Their glossy, silken coats are brushed
every day, which with weekly bath suf-
