If NJ. Edmond Abouts notary had not
been anticipated by the marauding cat in his
quest for his famous nose, lost, like DE la

He would have had but to pick up his lost
member and carry it to DR.. Malfatti, at Ber-

Frenchman to permi. a German to tamper

THE Chicago Tribune has been figuring on
the subject of exchanges. 1t finds that in
1870 there were in the United States 574 daily
papers, 1926 weeklies and monthly publica-
tions. 1t estimates that each of these daiies
had an average of so daily, 100 weekly and
25 monthly exchanges, making grand total
for the year of Il, 2S7, 900 papers. 1t assumes
that the average number of exchanges re-
ceived by each weekly was 20 daies and SO
weeklies, making an aggregate of 1888, 800
for the year. Counting 2,07S,So0 as the num-
Der of exchanges received by miscellaneous
publications, it figures up grand annual to-
tai of 100000 publications which have
been sent as exchanges. Estimating these
papers at ten to the pound, there are 3,000,.
O00pounds or 1900 tons. At ordinary newspa-
per rates, the postage on this matter would be
S220,OO0 a year.
