BOOKS AND BINDINGS.
A Critics Comparison Of the Modern
With the Ancient.

"One of the strangest things about
the early printing is the fact that the
paper and binding were so much bet
ter than we have nowadays" said a st.
Louis collector
Il have books on my shelves printed
and bound by presumably reputable
firms. and yet after six or eight years
of careful use the paper is coming to
pieces and the bindings are gone, while
side by side with them are books 800
years old with paper intact and the
bindings as good as new The differ
ence is of course in honesty of ma
terial and work. In the old days
hide was allowed to lie in the tan
ner's watts for year before it was
thought fit for use. Paper was hand
made of real linen rags Now book
leather is ready two or three weeks
after the calf has been skinned. Pa
per is machine made of heaven knows
what OF course there may be honest
ly made paper and strong binding now.
as there were then. but Il couple of
hundred years ago good binding and pa
per were the rule Now they are the
rare, also the costly. exceptions 1t is
true that the high temperatures of the
houses. the gases and coal fumes may
have something to 10 with imparing
leather bindings. for. as everybody
knows. n stout cloth or canvas binding
is better than the leather now used
The same influences may also damage
the paper but still the fact remains
that neither the temperature nor the
gases affect the work of the old print
ers 50 the difference. after all. is one
of quality."-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Hank Human sat on the front porch
and gazed frankly and longingly across
the neat fence to where Matte Forman
worked in the garden and apparently
gave him no heed. Human had yet to
find that woman may look north or
south and yet be seeing east or west
Matte very much approved of Hin
mans attitude. The hunched up Shout
ders spoke eloquently of the good effect
of her training. AS rule, those shout
ders were accustomed to swagger, and
1t was the swagger to which Matte had
objected. Just because they were en-
gagged she did not concede his right to
order her about, and the engagement
had been broken.
Now that he was in this frame of
mind she was quite willing to make up.
but naturally to let the overture come
from her would be a tactical error, and
1t did not look as though Hank would
ever be enough himself again to make

General Breakdown Caused by Defl-

cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.
A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. j. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: II was sick for
number of years from general debility
and indigestion. / was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work Ny
sleep was restless on account Of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for a month
or two. My sight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be blur constantly before my
eyes. l couldn't concentrate my mind
vi my WOIk, ana tno attempt TO DO so
completely exhausted me.
Il was finally forced to give up a
position I had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, l read of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger that started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. / have
never had return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Will
liams Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of Indigestion and gen
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
anemia, rheumatism, after effects of the
grip and fevers.

A COINCIDENCE.
Peculiar Combination of Events Re-
lated by Andrew Lang.


As to "the long arm of coincidence. ."
it may be as long as is necessary
Nothing is impossible to coincidence
An instance of my own experience
said Andrew Lang. convinces me of
this fact. | had been reading foolish
book, "Out of the Hurry Bury" and
some of the rhymes ran in my head
They began
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In beautiful hole in the ground.
In the afternoon drove with par
ty of friends. and we took the refresh
ment of tea at house where there
were several other guests, all unknown
to me even by name. AS two of these
lived at place on our homeward
route. they accompanied us in our We
hicle. AS we passed "a wood on hill
side one of these anonymous strangers
said to me, This is the burial place Of
the Murrays of Glendhubreac." l alb
sently and automatically replied:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In a beautiful hole In the ground.
A kind Of chill blight settled on the
party. though one Of them tactfully
asked me what poet was quoting.
When we had set down our two
strangers at their own home / was
asked whether knew the name OF the
gentleman on whom | had expended
my pOetical quotation? OF course did
not know, and of course his surname
was Bartholomew, while, as he seemed
in bad health, my citation had an air
Of brutal appropriateness. Thus does
fortune banter u.s. for Bartholomew
is a most unusual name in Scotland.

Superstitious.

A well known New Yorker, while
dining at his club one evening, OBJ
served that his order of oysters on the
shell was not complete, there being
only eleven bivalves instead Of the
dozen 1t was his custom to order. On
rejecting that his waiter, an Irishman,
was a newcomer, he decided to let the
matter pass, but when on the next
evening the same thing occurred he
became a trif1e impatient.

er, what do you mean by bringing me
eleven oysters when l order twelve?

Having failed to acquire Il proprietary
right to a man in her younger days,
she was revenging herself upon the
sex by leading the womens rights
movement in Carrsdale.
1t was she who had inculcated these
advanced notions in Matte, and Hank
cordially hated her for it. Captain,
Hanks dog, looked up, with wagging

pursuit of the cat, now comfortably in

Caps canine entreaties to the cat to
come down and be annihilated were
too vociferous to be overlooked. Matte
took fresh tack.

cruel to dumb animals. That's bad

Hank. "She's a demon In cats skin.
