"nO LuAt regularly IcduS tuC ucWSpo-
pers, says Philadelphia journal, has not
been struck with those many named col
umns into which the news of all the world
is compressed' Variously styled in various
newspapers, they aim to grasp and focalize
the news of everything and everybody,
everywhere, and to present it in as small
and telling space as possible. They
carry the reader in breath from Indus to
the Pole, and hurry him along from SEN
tence to sentence, to conduct him in a
trice to antipodes of thought. The reader
never thinks, as his eyes take their rapid
journey down the columns, of the care,
the pains, the taste, the skill, the patience
necessary to reduce those items to attract
i've shape. The scissors and the paste do
q great deal of the work, it is true, but
the brain helps more than it is given
credit for. Fancy and imagination and
Judgment have to play their part. The
scissors dart instinctively at "good
item, and the brains step in and decide
whether its publication would be judi
cious. Is the item old? Has it ever ap-
peared before? Is it nice and fresh and
crisp and sparkling? What position shall
it hold with regard to the other items?
Has another on the same subject been al
ready clipped out? Might not the phrase
ology be changed, 80 rs to bestoW point
and piths Could a piquant joke be tag
ged on! Again, when the selection is
done, and the items-personal, miscel-
laneous, religious, theatrical and what not
ARE all arranged in order, will they
make q glittering and systematic whole,
over which the eye will delight to rove,
like bird from flower to flower. Ali
these things have to be considered in at
tending to the "item" department of a
newspaper. The tastes of every possible
reader must be anticipated. Since it takes
all sorts of people to make q world-a
truism Of profounder meaning than is
generally appreciated takes all sorts
Of items to make q newspaper.-Daily
