ITENTZTNG.-Who that regularly reads the news
papers has been struck with those many named
columns into which the news of all the world is
compressed? Variously styled in various news
papers, they aim to grasp and focalize the news
of everything and everybody everywhere, and to
present il in as small and telling a space as pos
sible. They carry the reader In a breath from
Indus to the pole, and hurry him along from sen
tence TO sentence to conduct him in trice to anti
podes of thought. The reader never thinks. as
his eyes take their rapid journey down the col
umns, of the care, the pains. the taste. the Skill
the patience necessary to reduce those items to
attractive shape.
The scissors and the paste do good deal of
the work, il is true, but the brain helps than
it is given credit for. Fancy and imagination and
judgment have to play their part. The scissors
dart instinctively into good" item. and the
would be judicious. Is the item oldl Has ever
appeared before? Is it nice aud fresh and crisp
and sparkling? What position shall ii hold with
regard TO the other items? Has another one on the
same subject been alreadycipped outg Might not
the phraseolcgy be changed so as to bestOw point
and pith Could q piquant joke be tagged ong
Again, when the work Of selection Is done, aud
the items-personal, miscellaneous, religious, the
atrical and what nOt-are all arranged 10 order,
will they make glittering and symmetric whole.
over which the eve will delight to rove, like bird
from flower TO fowerg
All these things have to be considered in attend
ing TO the " item " department Of a newspaper.
The tastes of every possible reader must be an.
ticipated. Since il takes all sorts of people to
make a word-a truism Of profOunder meaning
than is generally appreciated-it takes all sorts of
items to make newspaper.
