SIZES OF BOOKS
Meaning of tho Terms Folio Quarto
Octavo and Ducdocimo -
The -words folio quarto octa
vo duodecimo and the like have
ulmcst 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
rheets were folded once the hook was
called ri folio if the sheets were fold-
cd twice so as to form four leaves
the book was called u quarto if they
were folded four times so as to form
eight leaves the book was called an
octavo 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 octavo etc have reference
solely to the manner of folding tho
sheet they are as a matter of com
mon practice used to specify the sizes
of books
If the sheets on which books are
as a square 0ot or an acre aud 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
strictlj to indicate how the sheet was i
folded became worthless as designa
tions of size The use of the old
terms was nevertheless not abandon
ed but instead they were first used
to indicate a rather wide range of
sizes and finally were attached to cer
tain more definite sizes without refer
ence to the method of folding
The practice of the publisher now
adays is first to determine what size
of page he wants The sheet he uses
will be large or small according to the
capacity of the press at his disposal
On that sheet he may print say eight
octavo pages or he may print thirty
two but he will call the book an oc
tavo though by its folding it should
be called either a quarto or a lOmo
In other words the publisher calls
his book by the name of that one of
the old sizes to which it happens to
come nearest i
The confusion resulting from the
changes noticed here has not passed

That English Complexion
The complexions of tho English have
often been exploited for our benefit
The damp climate and the exercise
out of doors produce the red they say
But on examination it proves to be
not the red of the rose but the red of
raw beef and often streaky and fibrous
at that The features are large and
the face high colored but it is not a
delicate pink It is a coarse red At a
distance the effect is charming bright

JOHANNS COURTING
One of the Royal Romances cf the
Hapsburgs
More than one royal romance has oc
curred in the family of the Hapsburgs
The best of all perhaps is that of the
Archduke lohann brother of the Em
peror Francis 1 One day he was
traveling incognito when he arrived
in a village where he desired to take
a coach for Vienna He looked around
to hire a carriage for which having
been obtained he sought a driver At
length a lad was brought to him
Your name queried the archduke
Tohann sir answered the lad
The archduke was cute lie had
seen at a glance that this was no boy
befcre him but a girl disguised
What do you call yourself when
you are at home helping your mother
in the kitchen he asked smiling
Anna Ploehl she answered And
what is your name
Tohann too I am an archduke
I suppose you will say that you are
the emperor himself next she laugh
ed back at him Then she drove his
carriage into Vienna
Here behold the people saluted and
she made inquiries thus finding out
the real facts But she thought little
more of the matter until a month later
the archduke strode into her fathers
cottage just at the dinner hour and
n hNmI vf ri tftctrtW ltin 4 li r i -- i 1
printed were of uniform size a quarto lul L - -
Withering The girl began apologies
would be I
page as unvarying an area
but the archduke laughed them aside
and insisted on being called plain Jo
hann
The visit was repeated again and
again and at last the villagers began
to talk unkindly Anna at last asked
the archduke to come no more because
of tho gossip That settled it He
asked her to marry him and despite
the objections of the emperor the two
were married Later the girl once
daughter of a jobmaster was created
baroness and countess and at last
forgiven by the emperor Philadelphia

QUENTIN METYS
How Love Changed a Great Black
smith Into a Great Painter
Love made Quentln Metys a painter
This grert Fleming whom both Ant
werp and Louvain claim to have given
birth though the palm now rests with
Louvain was the son of an able black
smith Trained In his fathers craft
the younger Quentin soon distinguish
ed himself by his work in this base
metal and among other matters turned
out the wonderfully delicate ironwork
that surmounts the well outside the
Cathedral of Antwerp Already an ac
knowledged master of his guild It
came about writes Helen Zimmern in
the Metropolitan Magazine that the
young artisan fell in love with the
daughter of a rich Antwerp burgher
When asked to consent to a marriage
however the father would not hear of
it saying he could not let his daughter
wed a blacksmith Quentin next in
quired if he would feel the same objec
tion to a painter The good burgher
A who anticipated no change of craft on
old the questioners part replied that there
indeed was a more refined profession
What was his surprise and perhaps se
cret dismay when some months later
Quentin Metys reappeared and asked
for the fulfillment of the old burghers
promise He had indeed become a
painter and one already held in high
esteem To commemorate his love and
his serving on her account Metys
limned an auto portrait that now
hangs in the Ufiizi at Florence Those
it was ta middle 0 the week Week J acquainted with the secret know that
sir oor laads is a God fearin set o if they touch a little spring in this
laads an they were just comin oot frame the panel opens like a door and
behind the shelter of Metys own por
trait is concealed that of his love and
wife a sweet Dutch face for whom
doubtless he deemed it well worth hn
while to have played the part of the
patriarch Jacob
A Putting Tip From St Andrews
A man on his first visit to St An
drews was much impressed by tin
high standard of efficiency which he
saw displayed on the greens by those
with whom he played lie studied the
actions of these heroes to see if he
could discover any common feature in
refreshing but close to often rather j their methods At last he saw light
unpleasant riere the features of the j He observed that they all hold the left
women even the features of the beau
tiful women are molded while the
features of our beautiful American
women are chiseled Scribners
lianu more under the club when put-
ting than they did when driving
From this he deduced a rule of con
duct see the linger nails of the lef
hand when addressed to the ball For
the rest of his stay and it may be for
some time afterward his own putting
improved considerably London Post
