SIZES or BOOKS.
Meaning Of the Terms Folio, Quartz
Octave and Duodeeime.

Meaning Of the Terms Folio, Quarto.
Octave and Duodseime.
The words "folio," "quarto." "octa-
vo,'' 'dcodecimo" and the like have
almost, If not quite, lost their original
meaning. At first they had reference
only to the number of leaves into
which the sheets used in making the
book were folded. Thus If these
sheets were folded once the book was
called a folio; If the sheets were fold
ed twice, so as to form four leaves,
the book was called a quarto; II they
were folded foul times, so as to form
eight leaves, the book vas called an
octave, and so on.
The duodecimo, or 12mo, is an ir-
regular size. To make it the sheet
must be folded so as to form twelve
leaves. Fold one-third Of the width
of a sheet lengthwise on itself. Next
fold the paper across its breadth in
the center. Next fold the sheet across
its length-that is, fold the two leaves
on the four. Finally fold it again
across and In such shape that it may
easily be sewed in with others to form
a book.
But though. strictly and historically,
quarto, octave, ETC., have reference
solely to the manner Of folding the
sheet, they are, Is a matter Of COM
mon practice. used to specify the sizes
Of books.
II the sheets on which books are
printed were Of uniform size q Quarto
page would be a u~nvarying an area
as q square foot or an acre, and be-
fore the invention Of machines for
making paper there was such uni
formity to be found in the sizes Of
sheets.
But when paper making machines
were introduced and the use Of molds
was abandoned sheets came to be
made of all dimensions. As a result
quartos and octavos had all sorts of
dimensions, and the terms, when used
strictly to indicate how the sheet was
folded. became worthless as designa-
tons Of size. The use OF the old
terms was nevertheless not abandon.

On that sheet he may print. say. eight

be called either q quarto or a 16mo.
In other words, the publisher calls
his book by the name Of that one OF
the old sizes to which 1t happens tc

changes noticed here has not passed
away yet, but efforts have been made
to give defniteness to the old words

No Damages Can Be Collected.

In the Court of Appeals the
case of the Blue Grass Traction
Company against j. d. Grover,
appealed from Scott county, was
reversed. On account of defec-
tive flooring of the bridge on the
Georgetown pike, used by the
Blue Grass Traction line, Mr..
Growers fine trotting mare, in
charge of groom, got one foot
caught in a hole in the flooring
and was badly injured. Mr..
Grover was given $4,000 damages
in the lower court. The Court of
Appeals held that the fault of
the bad flooring was not that of
the Traction Company. but that
of the county of Fayette. and the
county cannot be sued because the
county is a branch of the State
government, and the State cannot
be sued.

UNITED STATES
The Only Civilized Country That
Has Not Got a Parcels Post.

John Wanamaker says there are
just four reasons why Congress
viii! not enact a parcels post law,
and those four reasons are the
four big express companies, which
with other big corporations control
Congress and prevent any legisla-
ton inimical to their interests.
He makes three striking points
in his contention, viz: First, the
United States is the only civilized
country on the globe that has not
got parcels post. Second, the
people of the United States want,
need and should have parcels
post. Third, the people of the
United States cannot have a par
