TITLE PAGES.
they Were Unknown Until After the
Invention of Printing

Fhey Were Unknown Until After the
Invention of Printing.
The most surprising thing in the his
tory of the title page is the fact that
1t was utterly unknown until a few
years after the invention of printing.
In the days before that great era, when
all books were in manuscript, no scribe
ever thought of prefacing his work
with separate page or leaf devoted to
the title
When printing took the place of writ
ing, changes came gradually. In many
early printed books there was still
scope for handwork. Initial letters were
left for the ''rubrisher," as he was
called, to decorate and illuminate by
hand
AS books multiplied this practice, of
course, soon died out. Occasionally
wealthy and luxurious book owners
would employ skillful illuminator to
adorn the pages and margins of print
ed book just as in former days manu-
scripts had been illuminated.
The manuscript practice of surround
ing the text with an ornamental border
was also often applied to early printed
books. The introduction of the title
page showed the same mingling of old
and new
Printing was invented about 1450,
but no title page, properly so called, is
known before 1470. In the earliest ex-
amples the title is either, as in manu-
scripts, given in the first two or three
lines of the first page to be immedi-
ately followed by the printed text, or
is simply, as it has been called, la
bel-that is, it consists of very brief
title at the top of a blank page.
There was one curious exception. A
"Kalendar' printed by Ratdolt at Ven
modern style. This remarkable page
consists of an Introductory poem sur
rounded on three sides by ornamental
borders, with, at the bottom, the place
of printing and date-'Venetiis, 1476"
and the names of the printers.
But this is quite an exceptional in
stance. Such a title page is hardly
1ound again 1or twenty years ana dld
not become common till about 1920,
more than forty years later.
A particularly noticeable feature in
many title pages of the sixteenth and
early seventeenth centuries is the
length of the descriptive titles. Con
troversial pamphlets and books of trav-
el and adventure especially have titles
which are extraordinarily long winded.
The whole page is filed with small
type. giving an analysis of the contents
of book or pamphlet.
Then toward the end of the seven
teenth century and through its sue
cessor came the reign of the bold and
plain title page, and the plain title has
lasted until the present day.

Greek and RuIrnr

'The struggle for racial supremacy
between the Slav and Helene" says a
writer on Macedonia, "a struggle as
old as the hills, is here identified with
and imbittered by the religious strife
which RACES between the followers of
the Bulgarian exarch and those of the
Greek patriarch = the schismatic and
the orthodox parties. This animosity
pervades and poisons all the relations
of life, private no less than public. A
Greek will on no account speak to or
shake hands with a Bulgar. Nor will
Bulgar patronize shop kept by a
Greek. The antipathy between the
two nationalities amounts almost to
physical repugnance. 1t far exceeds
any feeling of enmity that either of
them may entertain toward the Turk,
who has ground them both to the dust
during five centuries of the most un-
mitigated oppression Imaginable

Sunday.

In a. d. 313 the Emperor Constan-
tine u Rome granted liberation to the
Christians, and in 321 he gave imperial
sanction to the observance of the first
day of the week The edict which in
troduced a new era in Sunday observ-
ance runs: "On the venerable day of the
sun let the magistrate and people re-
siding in cities rest and let all work
shops be closed. In the country, how
ever, persons engaged in the work of
cultivation may freely and lawfully
continue their pursuits, because 1t Of
ten happens that another day is not so
suitable for grain sowing or for vine
planting, lest by neglecting the proper
moment for such operations the bounty
of heaven should be lost"

Sad State of Poetry.

For songs the use of poetry has for
some time been abandoned, and words,
any sort of words, have been employed
instead. With patriotic songs any sug-
gestion of poetry is held to be fatal to
success. 1t is probable that in anoth-
er ten years some member of parlia-
ment will introduce short bill making
the production of any other sort of
poem criminal offense, and it is not
impossible that the member of parlia-
ment will be Observation-Disclosures

How the butterfly Is Protected.

The brilliant coloring on the wings Of
some kinds of butterflies is a bitter
tasting pigment, which to certain ex-
tent protects those species from being
eaten by their foes. Frogs will try to
eat sulphur butterflies, and, after tast-
ing them, will promptly reject them.
The brilliant colors may be produced
in order to advertise the nauseous
taste as well as to aid the butterfly in
attracting a mate of its own kind. We
may be equally ignorant of the latent
social powers of birds.
