AncientrPrinters, Printing, Paper
Mills.

The first printing press set up in Am
erica, was worked in Cambridge, Mass,
in 1929. Rev. Jesse Glover procured
this press by contributions of friends of
learning and Of religion, in Amsterdam
and in England, but died on his passage
to the New World
Stephen Day wasthe first printer. In
honor Of his pioneer position, govern
ment gave him grant of 600 acres of
land.
The third book published by him was
the Psalms in Metre. In 1861, the New
Testament and Baxter's Call, translated
into the Indian language by Elliot, the
great missionary. were printed at cost
of G3,200 The title might be recon-
mended on account of its obscurity and
high sounding character to the writers
of books nowadays. 1t was" Wus-
Wuttesthementum Yoi Lordumum
Jesus Christ Nuppoqhwussuaenmum."
The whole Bible was printed in this
language in 1868. The nation speaking
it is now extinct.
Pennsylvania was the second state to
encourage printing. William Bradford
came to Pennsylvania with VIM. Penn,
in 1885, established printing press in
Philadelphia its first issue was an al
manac for 1857 it was but sheet. The
first book printed by Mr. Bradford was
collection of essays by Francis Bacon.
1t appeared in 1898, and was called the
Temple of Wisdom"
In 1892, Mr.. Bradford was induced to
establish printing press in New York.
He received e40 per annum, and the
privilege of printing on his own account.
Previous to this time. there had been no
printing done in the province of New
York. His first issue in New York was
proclamation, bearing date of 1892
The first paper mill erected in Ameri-
ca was at Elizabethtown, n j., which
VIM. Bradford, Royal Printer of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
purchased in 1880; the second went into
operation at Boston, the legislature of
Massachusetts granting aid.
In the time of the Protectorate the
Governor of Virginia congratulated his
people in the following words thank
God thereisn not a printing Office or school
within my province"
1t was nearly century after print
ing press had been set up in New Eng
land, before one would be tolerated in
Virginia. The colonists had no printing
done among them till 1927.

From the Golden Rule.
Keep Cheerful.

1t is not very difficult for person to
be sunny-tempered when everything is
going prosperously with him. When
a man has made two or three hundred
dollars day, and all the signs are fa-
vorable for his making that amount to-
morrow, how good natured he can be
When the hour comes to close the store
he takes his hat from the peg, buttons
up his overcoat, draws on his gloves and
starts for his home with feelings of
king. He feels kindly toward every
body. He buys a paper of the newsboy
snaps him ten cent scrip, and hurries
along without waiting for the return
change, chuckling to himself as if he
had perpetrated first class joke. When
he comes to his house he smiles at the
servant, kisses his wife or ought to-
bounces the baby, and fills the whole
household with sense of his own salts
faction. All, me How easy it is to be
Soou hhbuACu uHuST sucl CIRCUMSTANCES
What saints we all are when we have
all we want
But times change, the business sky
looks darker and becomes black with
ominous clouds. Under our feet rumb-
lings and premonitory unsteadiness which
always precede financial earthquake.
The commercial atmosphere is motionless
and oppressive ; everybody senses dam
ger Buyers are timid sellers suspi-
cious. The current trade shrinks. Goods

noted there. Now is the time for you
to show what stuff you are really made
Of Now is the time, if you are a gen.
tleman, prove it. If you love your wife
now is the time to show it if you have
faith in something nobler, higher, sweeter
than this world and its possessions, let
that faith be manifest in your conduct
everywhere. Don't take a gloomy face,
and surly voice, and a sour temper to
your household. That household has
its own cares, and troubles, and clouds
enough in its own sky. Tell your
wife all your difficulties but in such
brave, gentle and loving way as, in
stead of expressing her spirits will cause
them, rather, to rise bouyantly at the
thought that she is fully trusted by yon
and may be able to help you. "Bear ye
one another's burdens and SO fulfill the

WHAT DEAD CHINAMAN is WORTH.

WHAT A DEAD CHINAMAN is WORTH
Among the cargo of the ship Criteri-
on, which cleared from San Francisco,
Cal, for China, on the 4th, were 365
boxes billed as preserved meats and val
ued at $4,000. The high price of this
class of goods indicated by these figures
caused some curiosity among the custom
house officials, who, being anxious to
know wherein the extra value of the
commodity lay, instituted investigation.
The result was that the boxes were found
to contain the bones of dead Cinnamon
whom one Fook Hing Tong desired to
transplant to the Flowery kingdom. Out
of the discovery grew conundrum :
=" If 800 boxes are worth 5000, what
is one dead Chinaman worth 2" No an
swer could be obtained, because it. was
impossible to find out just how many
were in each box. An enterprising in
dividual, however, interviewed the su-
perintendent Of the morgue, and learned
that the value of Chinaman's bones is
a little over s1040. This information
obtained, a calculation was next resorted
to in order to find the number of defunct
Celesfials contained in the very queer
consignment, the result being the figures
1850.

WONDERS OF CHEAfIsTRY.-Thet toma-
to vine, which furnishes food so palata-
bic to almost every one, belongs to the
same family of plants as the deadly
nightshade which attains such a rank
growth in the edge of swamps aud by
the shady roadside, and which all chill
dren are educated so cautiously to shun.
Aquafortis and the air we breathe are
made of the same materials.
Linen, sugar, and spirits of wine are
so much alike in their chemical compost
tion that an old shirt can be converted
into its own weight in sugar and the SUI
gar into spirits of wine.
Wine is made of two substances, one
of which is the cause of almost all COM
bustion, and the other will burn with
more rapidity than anything else in ma
ture.
The famous Peruvian bark, so much
used to strengthen weak stomachs, and
the poisonous principle of opium, are
found to be composed of the same mate
risls.

Miss Cary's Triumph in Moscow.

to pay my tribute to the treacherous eli

the orchestra knew that failure would
not be the verdict, for the musicians
rose to applaud me, which was the first
time they had noticed an artist. That
gave me courage. The terrible night
came, and put on the war paint with
fear and trembling, and my eyes were
double their size with excitement, sang
my couplets which opened the second
act of Trovatore and such applause !!

ANNA LOUISE CARY" "

PRINCE JoHN.-Many are the anec-
dotes that have been published of the
late John Van Buren,, but the following
will be new to the readers of the Draw
er During his fathers Presidential
term, Prince John" then very young
man, INDUCED in many playful perfor-
mances that were not altogether a de-
light to the paternal. On one of his
visits to Washington the Prince stopped
at Willard's where his father came,
and after kindly greeting, said, John
/ had hoped you would some time prove
to be worthy representative of our
family, but | fear you never will in
fact ! am convinced that you will bring
disgrace rather than reflect credit upon
it"
" Father, " said John, you may think,
because you are President of the Unit
ed States, that you are something more
than an ordinary man, but premit me to
say that you will never be known in
history except as the father of John
Van Buren. "-Harper's Magazine.

Slept with his Spurs on.

Yes, said the old man with smile, l
remember one time in particular, while
out prospecting with an old friend, about
twenty years ago. We were travelling
on horseback, and came across tavern
one night about ten o'clock. Being very
tired and hungry, as soon as we got some
supper, and something warm to keep the
cold out, we asked to be shown to our
room.
On looking around, we found that the
room had two beds in it, one of which
was already occupied by two strangers
who were both snoring Justify. The fact
of there being two beds in the room did
not surprise us, as in backwoods taverns
there were frequently three beds in
room. We undressed, and just as / was
going to blow out the light, my friend,
who had got into bed, espied the foot of
one of the strangers sticking through the
bed clothes at the foot of the bed With
a suppressed chuckle he motioned me to
hold on moment; he got quietly out of
bed, and going to where the strangers
boots were, he took off huge, sharp
Mexican spur, and carefully adjusted it
to the bare heel of the unconscious stran-
ger. With another audible chuckle as
he thought of the consequences that
would follow when the stranger drew in
his foot, he got back into bed and reach
ed over and tickled the sleeper's foot.
He instantly drew his legs up until his
knees almost touched his chin. In doing
so he drew the spur the whole length of
his bed-fellow's leg, making a very bad
scratch. The victim uttered yell and
sprang out of bed with a muttered ex-
clamation that did not make out, and
then he commenced wild dance around
the room, with his neither garment under
his arm, and making frantic efforts eth
er to dislocate his neck or to see how
badly he was hurt, all the while making
exclamations that would have made a
baggage man with Saratoga trunk on
his shoulder, turn green with envy. The
innocent cause of all the trouble had
been awakened by the first yell of the
victim, and in Strengthening his legs out
scratched himself most numerically.
He did not yell nor say bad words, but
he jumped out of bed and made for his
friend with the purpose of taking ven
geance, / suppose; but he had not taken
two steps before he jabbed the spur into
his leg again. The landlord then ap-
peared with light, followed by half the
boarders in the house, and inquired what
the matter was. An examination brought
to light the spur, which explained the
matter. The stranger looked sheepishly
at the spur, then at his scratch, and
finally examined his boots, and with a
sickly smile said Well, boys, have
lived all my life among people who wear
spurs, but never before saw man who
could pull off his boots and leave his
spur on his foot. I'll treat in the morn
ing.

ACIDITY OF THE STOMACH. = DR.. Hale
says: When acidity follows eating, it is
because there has been an error in the
quantity or quality of the food eaten ];
the stomach could not manage it, could
not perform the work imposed upon it
The true remedy is to eat less at each
meal, until no acidity is perceptible, or
to change the quality of food and in a
short time the stomach, not being over
tasked, gets time to rest, to recuperate,
to get strong, then it digests more food
and digests it better, with the inevitable
result of a more vigorous constitution,
more power of endurance, more strength
of body and greater elasticity of mind,
more happiness and energy to grapple
with life's duties, which makes existence
a pleasure.

whatever question might be proposed,
began by saying Il make a distinc-
tion." A cardinal, having invited him
to dine, proposed to derive some amuse-
ment for the company from the we'll
known popularity of his guest. Saying
to him that be had an important ques-
tion to propose, he asked Is it under
any circumstances lawfnl to baptize in
sOup?" " make a distinction" said
the priest If you ask is it lawful to
baptize in soup in general, l say no. If
you ask is it lawful to baptize in your
Eminence's soup, say yes; for there is
really no difference between it and wa

Henry VIII, so runs the story, hav-

to send an ambassador to deliver a
messenge in the most menacing terms,
and appointed Bishop Bonner to ex-
ecute the commission. The Bishop
then told the King that the embassy
would cost him his life. Henry replied
that if any harm befell his representa-
tive he would instantly cut off the heads
of all the Frenchmen in his dominions.
" So you may, sire" objected the Bishop,
"but fear there is not one of them
that will ft my shoulders"
