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

zone 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.
II 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 300
years old with paper intact and the
bindings az good as new. The differ
epce is Of course In honesty Of ma
terial and work. In the old days a
hide was allowed to lie in the tan
ner's watts for a year before it was
thought at 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 a 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 impairing
leather bindings, for, as everybody
knows, a stout cloth or canvas binding
is better than the leather now used
The same inf1uevres 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

The banner year, so far as the his
tory Of Humboldt county, and Winnie
mucca in particular, is con
cerned, will have passed int ,
history when this issue of the
Silver State News reaches many of its
readers and 1908 will be ushered in
with its vast possibilities.
The county generally has had a tire
mendous growth, and we need but to
turn our attention to different sections
to get expressions of it. Goldbanks,
Mount Tobin, Sawtooth, Havilah, Gold
Circle, New Goldfelds, Buckskin,
Boyd's Basin, Washakie and a dozen
other mining camps have been discov.
cred.
Lovelock has grown from a strag-
Cling country village to a city Of as
suming proportions New buildings on
d dozen different corners Of that town
greet the eye Of the visitor, and the
business done there has in one year
almost tripled itself.
Golconda in the year that has past
has done more business than in any
single year before in its history. Here,
as in nearly every town in the country,
new buildings have been raised, or
are in the course of construction.
In an agricultural and stockraising
way the northern part Of the county
has had an unprecedented year. More
beef cattle have been sent from this
section than ever before. Hundreds Of
acres in Paradise Valley have been
reclaimed, and land that once fostered
only the the sagebrush has been made
to produce alfalfa and grain. The
prosperous condition of the men of this
section generally is seen in the growth
of the deposits at the First National
bank, where thhe majority of them
have placed their deposits.
The remarkable growth of the county
generally has been reflected in the
county seat, the Queen City Of Central
Nevada. There is not a business in
Winnemucca but what has felt the
impetus Of the prosperity of the year
1907. New methods, new fittings, new
fixtures, new goods, is the character
istic description of the Winnemucca
business houses n the year 1907. And
with the growth of the old established
business houses has been the spring

The Scotch

An English artist, travelling profess
sionally through Scotland. had occa-
sion to remain over Sunday in a small
town in the north. To while away the
time he walked out n short way In the
environs, where the picturesque ruin
Of a castle met his eye. He asked a
countryman who was passing to be
SO good as to tell him the name OF the
castle. The reply was somewhat start
ling. Its no. the day to be asking sic
things!''
Another good story Ut Scottish OBJ
servance of the Sabbath Is told by a
clergyman. "A minister Of the kirk
declared In public that Mt a country
hotel he wished the window raised
SO that he might get some fresh air.
but the landlady would not allow 1t,
saying. 'Ye III haze no fresh air here
on the Sawbeth.'"

Antiquity Of slavery

Slavery Is pretty nearly as old as the
race. 1t began so far back that the
memory of man. assisted by the still
greater memory Of history. can recall
no time when it did not exist. 1t would
be difficult to say who were the first
slaves. In all the nations around the
Mediterranean, where civilization Is
supposed to have started, the institu-
ton began early to flourish and held
on right down through feudallsm to
modern times.

As to 1.-The long arm of coincidence"
1t 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. l had been reading a foolish
book, "Out of the Hurry Burly." and
some Of the rhymes ran in my head.
They began:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In a beautiful hole in the ground.
In the afternoon I drove with a par
ty of friends, and we took the refresh
ment of tea at a house where there
were several other guests, all unknown
to me rel by name. AS two of these
lived at a place ON u homeward
route. they accompanied us in our We
hicle. AS we passed a wood on a hill
side n 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 I was quoting.
When we had set down our two
strangers at their own home I was
asked whether l knew the name Of the
gentleman on whom I 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.
