During the reign Of Elizabeth the
fashion in bookbinding underwent a
considerable change, the graceful sim
.plicity of the early work, with its
rather severe and restrained ornament,
giving place to a heavy, overdecorated
style, in which superabundance Of
gliding hid poverty Of design. This
style reached its height in the bindings
produced for James l., which were
commonly dotted all over with flowers
de-luce or thistles, while the corners
were filed with 4 heavy block OF
coarse design. During the reign OF
Charles the bindings were, as a rule,
copied from French work, and the de-
signs carried out with very small
tools; but, though foreign influence was
strongly felt at first, the English bind.
ers soon struck out line Of their own,
and Samuel Mearne, the binder to
Charles H., produced some admira bic
work and seems to have introduced
the quantity shaped panel which gave
the name Of cottage binding to a GER
tain class Of work. At little later
date an Edinburgh binder, whose name
is unknown, but whose work is easily
distinguishable, executed some marvel
Gus pieces Of work on very dark green
morocco.

Chinese Gardens.

In the ornamenting and Ioeautifying
of gardens the Chinese excel over all
other nations. By means of q variety
of winding walks they make a small
place appear twice as large as it really
Is. Innumerable fowerpots, contain
ing great variety Of beautiful asters,
of which they are very fond, are some
times arranged in a labyrinth, from
which you cannot get out again with
out guide. They seem to have very
extensive assortment Of asters; one
species is quite white, as large as a
rose, with long graceful leaves, which
the Chinese use in the season for salad,
Justly esteeming them 4 very great
delicacy. When the asters are all in
full bloom, the pots arranged hand
somely near a piece of water and the
walks and alleys we'll lighted at night
with variously colored lamps, a Chi
nese garden has the appearance OF one
of those enchanted palaces we read
of in the Arabian tales.

Striking Clocks.

The salesman in the jewelry store
was talking Of the merits of various
wall clocks to a patron and finally
pointed out one as q great bargain.
Not for me-" interrupted the Gus
toner: that clock strikes. and I
wouldn't have it as a gift" you're
different from the usual run Of pur-
chasers; they prefer striking clocks"
commented the salesman. "Yes, but
they don't keep billiard rooms" e1-
planned the customer. II want the
clock for my establishment. and strik-
ing clock would lose me money. Pool
and billiards are fascinating games
and players get so absorbed they for
get all about time, which they wouldn't
do if there was clock striking regu-
larly. \ clock striking every hour In
my place would make big hole in the
receipts, and I guess clock that
struck half hours would put me out Of
business. No, sir: you don't find wise
pool room keeper hanging striking
clock in his place"

The eastern tale is generally COM
pound Of that humor, simplicity and
Imagination that we associate, rightly
or wrongly, with the 1rishman, just be-
cause Ireland is the nearest country to
our own that is not aggressively Sax
on. What could be more Irish, for in-
stance, than the behavior Of the great
Turkish hero Of so many stories, Nasr-
ed-Din Hodga, when q neighbor came
to borrow his donkey. "My donkey is
not here" he said. The words were
scarcely out of his mouth when the
animal brayed loudly. "But your don
key is here; can hear him." cried the
neighbor. What" shouted the enrag-
ed Turk. do you mean to say you be.
lieve my donkey before you believe
me-"
Wit in the east, as elsewhere, is
nothing without its accompanying
quality of insight to turn it into ex-
quisite humor, and Nasr-ed-Din Hodga
showed himself at his best when ask
cd to divide a bag Of nuts among the
assembled COMPANY He gave fifty to
one, twenty to another, two to another,
and so on, until he was asked in aston
ishment why he divided them in such
a manper. II am doing it as God
would" he answered, with smile

What 1t II and How the Indians Used
--.~ TO Make 1t.

When Columbus discovered America
he found the Indians carrying on trade
from tribe to tribe with wampum.
Anything that has value may be used
as money. In ancient Syracuse and
Britain tin was used as money, and we
find that iron was so-used at one time
in Sparta, PIECES Of silk in China, cat
tie in Rome and Germany, leather
among the CarthaginiaIs, nails in Scot
land, lead in Burma, platinum in Rus
sia, cubes Of pressed tea in Tartary,
slaves among the Anglo-Saxons, salt
in Abyssinia, etc.
Wampum is from an Algonquin word
meaning white" The Indians have
ever been fond of ornaments, partlcu-
larly Of beads. They used to make
beads of seashells in the following
way: 4 fragment Of stone was with
much care worked down" to the size
of a small nail, having one end quite
pointed, and it was then fastened to a
piece Of cane or reed With THIS
ped off bit Of the inside Of a conch
shell or a part Of the shell OF a hard
clam and rubbed it down to the size
desired. This bit Of shell he held IN his
hand, placed the sharp end Of the
stone against it and then turned the
stone around and around until a hole
was drilled entirely through the shell.
The shell beads thus tediouslS manu-
factured were called wampum. These
beads were either white or Of a purple
color, the last being valued much high
er than the first. 1t was the very Ia
borious way Of making wampum that
gave it value. The wampum was artis-
tically strung upon hempen threads
and. used as necklaces, bracelets and
rings. Often it was woven into belts
about three inches in width and two
feet in length.
The wampum belt served many pur-
poses. It was sent from tribe to tribe
with solemn promises and messages,
1T was used in making peace, in asking
for aid in time Of war, for personal
adornment and also as circulating
medium The coast tribe Indians
were the wampum makers. The in
terror Indians spent their time hunting
and exchanged game Of all kinds for
the wampum made by the coast tribes.
For long time after white people
had settled in the new world small
coins were scarce and wampum was
used as change. Finally the palefaces
set up lathes by treadles for the pur-
pose Of making wampum quickly, and
soon the Indian wampum makers were,
as we say nowadays, "out of a JOB"

Nests on the Water.

It is almost unthinkable that 4 bird
should build nest on the water. Yet
that is exactly what the grebes always
do. With reeds, grass and plant stems
the grebe makes a regular floating is
land, somewhat followed out on top,
usually near the open water Of q
marshy or reedy lake. We have sew
eral kinds of grebes, but their nests
are much alike, sometimes mooreG to
the reeds, but usually floating freely
on the water-St. Nicholas.

Chesapeake Bay.

Few people fully appreciate the
great size of the Chesapeake bay. 1t
is the largest indentation on the At
!antic coast, and it has often been
called the Mediterranean Of America.
On its bosom the navies Of the world
could easily float. It is 200 miles long,
and in some places it is forty miles
broad. 1t has an area Of over 1000
square miles, and it shoots off into
great rivers with an aggregate length
OF thousands Of miles. Baltimore

knives which they use in the business
are so highly priced that they are

Mrs. j. B. Rogers Saturday, Dec. 10, when
number OF their relatives met at their

years had run their round since hand in
hand they embarked on the matrimonial
sea- When their brother and wife, Mr..
and Mrs. G. E. Rogers, of Albany, arrived
with chicken pie and ''fxins," no curiosity
was aroused as that couple IS noted for al
ways going full handed; nor when cous-
in walked in unbidden with a pan OF sup
plies But when the third party trie5 10

Rogers thought it time TO protect herself
and home from intruders but for once
could think Of nothing to say. So ell was
/ peaceably adjusted and bountiful dinner
| served, the only regret being that q brother,
| George Lawrence, of Albany and bis family
/ could not be present. But no one is re-
/ sponsible for g stormy dsy. With a few
felicitous and well chosen remarks Hon.
/ G. S. Skinner in behalf OF the company
presented the couple a silver creamer and
spoon vase. Their aunf, Mrs. Reynolds,
who came from Montpelier for the occa-
sion, presented a dozen oyster forks. Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers were eloquent with
thanks as much for the goodwill expressed
by the gathering as for the presents re-
ceived. At an early hour the company
dispersed, wishing AIr. and Mrs Rogers
many more years Of welded prosperity.
