The revival of hand bookbinding among
American women may be said to have
passed the fad stage Since Miss Evelyn
Nordhoff went over to study with Cob
den-Sanderson seven years ago. and then
came back and established her bindery,
hundreds of American women have turned
their attention in this direction.
Among them the acknowledged authori-
ties are Miss Ellen Starr, of Hull House.
Chicago, and Miss Emily Preston and
Miss Florence Foote, of this city. All
three are pupils Of Mr.. Sanderson, and
it was to Miss Foote that Miss Nordhof
left her bindery at her death, three years
ago. -
There are probably a score or more of
rich women in Now York to-day who have
binderies of their own, from which they
are gradually filing their library shelves
with their favorte books, the binding of
which is, their own handwork and eX-
presses their own individuality:
Mrs Ernest Thompson-Seton has taken
a thorough course in the craft, and can
bind an excellent book. She makes prac-
teal application of her training in oyer

books Mrs. Frederick Gotthold, the ilu-
minator, produces books which are her

art, and then binds the whole in man

For instance in binding a book upon
japan. the art craftsman would not place
Japanese landscape, with Fusiyama IN
the distance. upon the cover. A pattern
in conventionalized chrysanthemums
might be tolerated, though even this is
rather too obvious, land something ratner
more remotely suggestive would be con-
sdered IN better taste.
The first thing to consider by the bind

good book are good sewing and backing,
good headbands. and the quality of open
ing easily in the hand.
There are three feathers which are USED
in nearly all hand bindings. The first is
of crushed Levant morocco. which is the
most beautiful and durable of all, with
a peculiar, soft vevety look not found
in any other leather. Pigskin ranks next
in all:the qualities mentioned. The. Eng
fish binders also use Niger. goat which is

The dictionary defines an anthology as
follows: "a collection Of flowers and
garlands; 9 collection of the flowers OF
literature: that is. beautiful passages
from authors; a collection of poems or
epigrams: particularly applied to col
lection of Greek cpigrams.
And so. It foilows-or ought to follow,
from the title-that this work is collec-
ton of rare nonsense verse. though we
think the word curious should have
been substituted for the adjective
nonsense" which gives one an
unjustly frivolous idea Of the work. AS
a matter of fact. Carolyn Wells is mucn
to be commended for collecting these
fugitive poems. of which there are 2GS.
The verses are absolutely unique. and,
IN a certain sense. are literary curios.
They are. for the most part. metrlcal
eccentricities rather than friVoiltes,
though no little humor CLEANS between
their lines. Now and then they are posi-
lively funny. but ere we begin to smile
we begin to encounter something weird
and satirical. Here are few samples.

The Eippopotamus
His curious name derives its source
From two Greek words: hippos-a horse

But why they cali that thing horse,

Another gubernatorial candidate has
shied his caster into the arena and Is
reported to be canvassing the Fifth
district with energy in an attempt to
surround himself with formidable lot
of support when 1t comes convention
time. The aspirant is ]. p. A. Black,
an attorney and banker of Blooming
ton, and the news comes to Lincoln
from an authentic source. A prominent
resident of the district says that Mr..
Black is in earnest and that he is
making a herculean effort to rally the
Fifth under his banner. He has been
a figure of considerable prominence in
the district for number of years and

with the governorship, and again his
friends have urged that he should be

Mr.. Rosewater assured Rowley that
made no difference, as Mercer had
been in congress ten years. and never
made a speech.
He induced Rowley to come to Oma-
ha to call on him at the Bee building.
and there introduced him to Seth Cole,
as the representative of a powerful
franchised corporation, and to another
eminent politician, who was presented
as the private secretary of the general
manager of one of the railroad COM
panies. 1t was urged that they were
"all for him." and that if he would
only take it they would wrap up the
job and hand 1t to him. Rowley went
home dazed, and it is not yet an

used in this connection or not.
Reports received at Lincoln are to
the effect that c. III. Sloan stands the
best chance of walking away with the
Fourth district congressional nominal
tion. Sloan is having trouble at home
in the person of Peter Youngers, but
his previous prominence and success
give assurance that he can get his
home county without too much trouble.
j. d. Pope of Saline wants to make
another try, but he ran behind his
ticket in 1900, and this fact is being
cited against him. AS compared with
Dietrich he ran ahead in but two coun-
ties, Butler and Polk He defeated
Sloan for the nomination then, and
many of his supporters are lined up
behind the Geneva man. Hainer and
Hinshaw are avowed candidates, and
there will be enough candidates in the
field to make it a very interesting con-
test, with no man as a certainty.
