American Farmers, Good fortune.

Good for',-aa appears to attend the
American farmer, despite the belated
reason. The prospect for making up
from foreign plenty the shortage, caus-
ed by delayed sunshine and abnormal
temperature at home, is small. Europe,
as has been shown, has its own crop de-
terioration to consider; Australia, India,
and the Philippines will give no marvel
Gus returns in food production; South
America is optimistic, but the extent of
its harvest is yet uncertain. Lessened
bushels of grain and lacking bales of
cotton mean continued high prices, =
not to be beaten down, because nowhere
in the world is an opulence of yield
visible.
The American farmer is much better
off than he expected to be when ice and
snow in May caused alarm. On the
whole his delayed harvest, though les
sened in quality, may give him return
almost as satisfactory in dollars and
cents as some of greater volume gone
before. With wheat surplus from last
year in his granaries, he is in a position
to contemplate with equanimity the
coming tweivemonth.
The consumer may have TO face a
problem of increased living expense,
but the farmer, even if his corn gives
only moderately satisfactory yield,
will forget last springs gloomy per-
spective and consider himself well treat
ed. From this source, at least, we need
anticipate no material lessening of our
national prosperity. From "a Year of
Delayed Harvests, in the American

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

WIN 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.
i nave books on my shelves printed
and bound by presumably reputable
firms, and yet after six or eight wears
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 go>d as new. The differ
ence Is of course In honesty of ma
terial and work. In the old days a
hide was allowed to lie In the tam
ner's watts for year before it was
thought mt 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. or course there may be honest
ly made paper and strong binding now.
rs there were then, but 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 do with impairlng
leather bindings. for. rs everybody
knows, 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. so the difference. after all, is one
OF quality.'-St Louis Globe Democrat
