All OF the Cloth Fog Them Is Made
From Cotton Fabric.

All OF the Cloth For Them lis Made
From Cotton Fabric.
AL of the cloth used In the binding
Of books is made from cotton fabric,
yet one would not say SO on seeing the
finished product Some of 1t looks ex-
actly like coarse linen. Other styles
have an appearance of the finest kind
Of silk, while others have various sorts
Of finishes that look like leatheret, can
vas, watered silk and a thousand DIFF
ferent designs.
When the cloth comes from the mills
It Is treated In various ways to pre-
pare 1t for the dyeing process which is
the most important. Different kinds of
sizing are used In the different grades,
and after this Is done it is ready for
the color machines
These are really the same sort Of ma
chimes that calico is made on. They
are built Of great steel rolls or cams
that are heated to a high temperature
by means Of live steam passing
through them constantly. The cloth
passes through boxes filed with the
aniline color that the cloth Is expected
to be coaofed with. This Is mixed with
a starch paste and is spread evenly all
through the cloth.
The latter then continues through the
steam heated cams and is finally rolled
up at the back of the machine in o
heavy roll Of the desired color. The diff
ferent finishes are given In second
process. The cloth Is passed through
very heavy and massive steel rolls
which have been engraved with the de
sign that Is wanted. Fine lines run
ming diagonally across the cloth will
give silk effect, and there are many
other Impressions that may be stamped
On In this way.-Springfeld Union.

The sweetest and happiest homes
homes to which men in weary life look
back with yearning too deep for tears
homes whose recollections lnger round
our manhood like light and the sun
shine and the sweet air, into which no

where brethren dwell together in unity
where, because all love God. all love
their brothers also; where, because all

II Is beautiful sight to behold all

no gospel Of salvation, no strong wing
