Covering Books.

To cover paper bound books take two
pieces of cardboard tiny bit larger
than book. Paste fly leaves at front
and back to cardboard, which of course
is outside. Then take strip of strong
cotton cloth; paste it down back Of
book; have it wide, so it will cover
about one inch of each piece of card
board, thereby joining the two pieces
together. Now put a cover of brown
paper over all, pasting securely, and
your decorated cover goes over this.
The books may be covered with deco
rated silk, pique or duck if you paint
or embroider, but the simplest way is
to cover with tissue paper mot crape).
Paste a pretty card on the front and
after cutting title and authors name
from old cover arrange them prettily
on the new one.

All COntr4lf0S Dark.

"Did you ever see a blond contralto"
asked teacher of vocal music. CPL
be bound you never did, for the reason
that all contraltos are dark. For a
matter of twenty years / have OBJ
served the human voice, and / have
come to the conclusion that the color
ing Of a person has some sort Of in
fuence upon the vocal organs. Blond
persons with blue eyes, rudy COM
plexions and yellow hair incline to
have high, sharp, metallic voices-so-
prano voices. l won't go so far as to
say that l can tell by a woman's ap-
pearance what type of voice she has,
but l will say that 1 can usually give
pretty good guess as to her voice. TO
be sure, have seen blends with deep
voices and brunettes with high ones,
but have only seen this rarely. Never
in my life have 1 seen blond contral-
to-a naturally blond one, I mean

Judges Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French judge
IN the seventeenth century, when, hap
pening to don a marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times in court. This he did, and
t'.e result was so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only
judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.

One of orr half-breed exchanges.
which of course does not favor party
harmony upon the non-factional
Baensch basis, has the impudent as
surance to claim that the reelection
of John c. Spooner to the United
States Senate one year ago was in
the interest of party harmony. This
claim is what would be commonly
termed "cheek." In the reelection
of Senator Spooner, the question of
party harmony was not involved.
All through the campaign of 1902
La Toilette and his lieutenants did
everything in their power to compass
the defeat OF Mr.. Spooner, and the
response by the people was a prac-
tically unanimous demand that he
be retained in the Senate. So
strongly was the popular sentiment
in favor of Spooner, that avowedly
La Toilette candidates for the legis-
lature were required to give pledge
that they would vote for his re-elec-
ton. Party harmony indeed! The
La Toilette management was giving
us the same kind of party harmony
two years ago and one year ago that
it is giving us now. A goodly por-
ton of the La Toilette rank and
file, however, was sensible enough
to see that it would be foolish to dis
pense with Spooner's valuable SER
vices at Washington, just to please
the Governor.
