In Book Binding.

Yet another application has been found for metal, which is now being substituted for cardboard in book binding. This novelty is known as the “British Pellisfort” binding, and it consists in the use of thin sheet metal for covers. The metal is specially prepared, and the cover may be bent and straightened again without perceptible damage. The metal is, of course, covered with the leather usually employed in book binding, and the finished book presents no difference in appearance except in the greater thinness of the cover. A woman in New York gave the members of a religious meeting a bad quarter of an hour, by denouncing the carelessness of ministers in regard to the marriage ceremony as productive of ihucb misery.

The marriage of children, too frequently recorded in the daily papers, is an instance of this carelessness. Tin: latest meteor to make an enviable record tore up the bosom of Mexico to a considerable extent, exposing to the view of a truthful man a vein of silver, the presence of which had never been suspected. It is not stated that the heat of the aerolite was such as to smelt the ore so that the pure metal conld be chopped out with an ax, but this is probably the' fault of the truthful man rather than that of the meteor.
