MANDARINS’ BUTTONS

In China the rank or dignity of the mandarin is indicated by a button in the top of the cap. There are nine classes, each of two degrees, and they are differentiated thus:

│ Class Degree Red │A ruby or other precious stone 1st 1st „ │Coral 1st 2nd „ │A red jewel of inferior quality 2nd 1st „ │Coral carved in the form of a flower 2nd 2nd ─────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────── Blue │A light blue precious stone 3rd 1st „ │The same only smaller 3rd 2nd „ │A dark blue precious stone 4th 1st „ │The same only smaller 4th 2nd ─────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────── White│Crystal 5th 1st „ │The same only smaller 5th 2nd „ │A white precious stone 6th 1st „ │The same only smaller 6th 2nd ─────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────── Gold │Gold 7th 1st „ │Smaller 7th 2nd „ │Smaller 8th 1st „ │Smaller 8th 2nd

Gold buttons are also worn by the ninth or lowest order—but which, nevertheless, is a great deal above the common classes.

A DICTIONARY _of_ ENGRAVING

_By_ WILLIAM HENRY BAKER

An unique reference book for advertising men (both genders) who, paradoxically, are often somewhat at sea in discussing the processes of engraving; electrotyping and the related graphic arts.

Designed as a popular rather than a pedantic book—so here and there thruout it are to be found touches of “human interest” such as unconventional definitions of non-technical terms, rank candor and some cynicism, which may bite or amuse. Technical terms, however, are not monkeyed with.

Printed with some taste on laid antique paper, untrimmed, with illustrations and diagrams, bound in decorated boards, handy volume size.

“Exceedingly helpful.”—_Printer’s Ink_

“Even the non-professional reader will profit by having it on a convenient shelf.”—_Cleveland Leader_

“Remarkable for brevity and directness.”—_Cleveland Press_

“We have an idea it was born of the travail of spirit endured by the author (an advertising manager of wide experience) in dealing with the great crowd of craftsmen who have not overtenderly guided his copy through art department, engraver’s room, composing room, stereotyping department and pressroom.”—_Detroit Times_

“Very practical and indeed interesting.”—_American Printer_

“Has a value which can hardly be estimated.”—_The Franklin Company, Chicago_

“Should find a place in the library and workshop of every man whose business comes within the scope of its treatment.”—_Louisville Evening Post_

“A complete and thoroughly prepared work, meaty, useful and witty as well.”—_N. Y. Daily Trade Record_

“The most interesting volume to the allied trades since Lockwoods ‘American Dictionary of Printing and Bookmaking’”—_Tony Rubovits, Chicago_

“Compliment you upon its completeness and reliability.”—_The H. S. Ormsbee Engraving Co., Syracuse_

“Certainly interesting to anyone interested in printing.”—_Dill & Collins Co., Philadelphia_

_Price, 75 cents, postpaid. Edition limited_
