I never see these impostors but I long to strip them to warm my ragged veterans in their spoils." Of curios in the war of binding there exist in England several examples. In - the Exeter museum there is to be found a volume bound in the skin of George Cudrnore, who was executed in 1830 for poisoning his wife. In the library of Bury St Edmunds there is a "Life of Carder, " a murderer, bound in a piece of his own skin. In the library of Hex borough House there were formerly two books bound in the skin of Mary Bate man, the Yorkshire witch wjo was hanged early in this century. In 1621 a man named Horwood suf fered the extreme penalty for the mur der of girl, and the following trades man's account of a book in the infirmary library explains itself: "Bristol, June, 1828. Richard Smith, Esq., Dr. to H. H. Essex. To binding in the skin of John Horwood a variety of papers relating to him, 1 10s., the same being lettered in Latin on each side of the book 'The True Skin of John Horwood.

A genial old gentleman was en- deavoring to infuse a iittlewarmth into the assemblage by playfully remarking : to believe in "the quantity rather than to a young political enthusiast who sat the quality of questions.

The following, which This 'remark woke up Carlyle, and is given as an illustration of the man speaking tor the first and only time ner of hiB questioning, exemplifies the during the evening he observed in his j remoteness from common sense of some usual iH bred way: "Sir, the French nobility of 100 years ago said they could afford to laugh at theories. Then came a man who wrote a book called 'The Social Contract' The man was called Jean Jacques Bouseeau, and his book was a theory and nothing bat a theory. The nobles could laugh at this theory, but their skins went to bind the second edition of this book. " It is a matter of fact that during the horrors of the French revolution tanner ies were established in various parts of ; France where the skins uf the victims of ; the guillotine were tanned, and many of ; these were used to bind books on account : of the fine grained surface exhibited aft j er being curried. , At the Chicago exhibition one of the ! curious exhibits was a pack of playing j cards which had been manufactured: from the skin of some captured Indians. : I remember to have seen at an old curi-: osity shop on New Oxford street only a 1 few years ago a piece of hard, dry, ; are nnneccaeary.

An instance is mentioned of 27 folio volumes being perforated in a straight line by the game insect in such a manner that by passing a cord through the perfect round hole made by it the 21 volumes could be raised at once. The wood beetle, the same variety that has left pinholes in Chippendale and other old chairs and bureaus, destroys prints and engravings, whether framed or kept in a portfolio. The "deathwatch" is likewise accused of being a depredator of books, at least according to the statements of the keeper of the Ashmolean museum, Oxford. Arthur Baydeo. A Begfom.na.

Tho love for'sweot thinrs is a craving of nature in all living creatures, and bmts will sometimes run great rista to satisfy it Bara hi their eagerness to gvt at the houey in a hollow tree will aoniPUEu'-a wiV.qo them.'tiives into so small a hole as to emia!i,jrx their lrres. and many foreiTt btrus, such as wood peckers, bino jays and thrushes, will tun the danger of being stung to ttesih in their endeavors to obtain the sweet honey that the bees store in the hollow cranks of trees. Sometimes they will attack bees on the wing and snap them up for the tiny speck of nectar contained in their sacks. Blue jsya oft take a liuon near beehives and fish all dny i for honey. Every returning bee is ecucht, but not devoured, for birds will kill the be only that theymay sip up the honey. Unless driven aw.iy a few such bird robbers would soon depopu- j uste a hiv Occasionally the bees organize and apbt the birds. They issue in a bony tram the hive and make a bold attack upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp oraiilict that follows the birds iuvsria bly get defeated. Indeed they do not at tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek safety in flight It the bees surround one of the hirds quickly enon h, there !s little hope for the robber. They settle down upon him and sting him to death. He may fly away, but the bees cling to his back and sides tenaciously. His flight soon becomes less energetic and more and more uncertain until at hut he drops to the earth and gasps out his life among the leaves and bushes, while the bees return triumphantly to their home. In the wild forests the honey loving birds sometimes make au organized at tempt to drive the bees away from their home in the hollow trunk of a tree. They first discover the place of the hid den treasure by following tho bees on a warm, sunny day, and if there be an opening in the tree large enough to ad- j mit them they plunge down the hole m a body. Then there follows a sharp conflict inside the tree, the birds snapping at the bees and cutting them in two at each snap. The only chance for the bees is to light on the backs and sides of the hirds. If they fail to do this, they are ... ' . t soon routed, and the rich treasures or i BweetB are captured by the enemies. These battles terminate in various ways, sometimes the bees and sometimes the Tbe LWi Delay.
