The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-10-29

Thomas Martyn, q compositor in the
Times Office, got up model of self
acting machine for working the press,
and Walter furnished the money for the
continuance of his experiments. AS
usual, In the early history of labor
saving machinery, the attempt met
with bitter Opposition from the work
men, who supposed their craft was in
danger. Martyr was in fear of his life
because of the threats of the pressmen,
and partly because Walter had small
capital at that time, the scheme was
given up. AS soon, however, as Konig's
printing machine was invented, In 1914,
Walter consented that IL should be tried
on the Times; but for fear of the work.
men, the experiment was made, not in
the regular printing Office of the paper,
but in an adjoining building. Here
Konig and his assistant, Bauer, worked
secretly for several months, testing and
perfecting the machine. On the Goth of
November everything was ready for
actual work on the paper, and the re-
suit is thus told in biographical sketch
of Mr.. Walter, which appeared in the
Times in July, 1S47:
"The night on which the curious ma
chine was first brought into use in its
new abode was one of great anxiety and
even alarm. The suspicious pressmen
had threatened destruction to any one
whose invention might suspend their
employment, destruction to him and
to his traps" They were directed to
wait for the expected news from the con-
tinent. 1t was about six o'clock in the
morning when Mr.. Walter went into
the press room, and astonished the oc-
cupants by telling them that the Times
was already printed by steam; that if
they attempted to use violence there was
force ready to suppress it; but that if
they were peaceable their wages should
be continued to every one of them until
similar employment could be procured.
The promise was no doubt faithfully
performed and having SO said he dis
tributed several copies among them.
Thus was this most hazardous enterprise
undertaken and successfully carried
through and printing by steam, on a
most gigantic scale, given to the world.

lOhnson's Experience as a Cook.

MIR. JOHNSON, who had repeatedly
lVI found fault with his breakfast, re-
marked on one occasion that his wife
seemed absolutely incapable of learning
to make rice griddle-cakes. Whereupon
the indignant woman announced that
she should refuse to have anything to
do with the next days breakfast, and
should lay the whole burden of its pre-
paration upon her husbands shoulders.
"Of course" she added, "you know
how to make rice cakes better than the
angel Gabriel, and you can just show,
for once, what you can do" With
great courage, Mr.. Johnson undertook
the unwelcome task, thus thrust upon
him, and made his preparations with
intelligent care. There were eight per-
sons in his family, and, as he estimated
that each one would eat a pint of rice,
he decided to use four quarts of rice in
mixing his griddle-cakes. To the rice
he added four quarts of buttermilk and
quart of hot water, besides few hand
fuls of -four and Indian meal in order
that the cakes should look brown. He
then reflected that it would make it
light, and accordingly threw in tea
cupful of cream of tartar, an equal
quantity of saleratus, and half a paper
of baking powder. Having thus mixed
his cakes to his satisfaction, he plac-
ed it in the kitchen and left it to
"rise" during the night. There is no
doubt that it did "rise." Moreover, the
rice swelled. On going into the kitchen
the next morning, Mr.. Johnson found
that his rice cakes had overfowed and
covered the floor to depth of at least a
foot, while in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the pan pyramid of batter"
reached nearly to the ceiling. That
morning he breakfasted on dry bread
and water, and subsequently employed
three Irish women to clean the kitchen
and an Irishman to carry away the
miraculous batter.

The Origin of Steam Printing.

1T is remarkable that the steam engine
i was not called to the aid of the print
ing press sooner than it was; but it had
long been used in many of the indus
trial arts before it became the handmade
to " the art preservative of all arts"
The first printing by steam was on the
issue of the London Times, for Novem-
ber 20, 1914. The improved hand presses
of that day could only strike off from
two to three hundred impressions an
hour, with one man to ink the types,
and another to turn the press. At that
rate very large edition of daily paper
was simply impossible, for one days
work could not be completed before the
next days must begin. The Times
then printed from three to four thou
sand copies daily and Mr.. John Walter,
the proprietor, the second of that
name), began as early as 1904 to consider
whether the work might not be ex-
pedited in some way. In that year,

Never Forget Anything.

A successful business man told me
there were two things which he learned
when he was eighteen, which were ever
afterwards of great use to him, namely
Never to lose anything, and never to
forget anything. An old lawyer sent
him with an important paper, with
certain instructions what to do with it.
" But" inquired the young man,
" suppose lose it; what shall L do
then ?''
"You must not lose it'll"
81 don't mean to-" said the young
man, " but suppose L should happen
to-"
"But 1 say you must not happen to.
shall make no provision for any such
occurrence; you must not lose itl'
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that If he was determined to do thing,
he could do it. He made such pro-
vision for every contingency that he
never lost anything. He found this
equally true about forgetting. If GER

Giving a Bank Trouble.

"You don't remember old R." ask
ed Governor Vance, of North Carolina.
No he left this country before you came
here. He was a stone mason by trade,
and Operated all over the country.
About the time Dewey's Bank failed, 1
met him at little gathering in Neck
lenburg. After shaking hands he took
me to one side, saying he desired to ask
me a question. "Now, Governor" said
he, ''this is matter of little delicacy,
and you are at liberty to answer it or
not. / wish to know if McAden's
Bank is going to have any troubleY ?"
Assuming an air of deep meditation
the Governor replied, eyes; have no
hesitation in telling yon that know it
is going to have trouble"
"Hang my luck ~ replied the stone
mason. II knew something was
wrong. / never put cent in bank in
my life but what / was swindled !"
"Hold,'' said the Governor, without
relaxing one line in his masked features,
''What allude to is this; they have
my note in that bank for $500, and
they'll have darned sight of trouble
getting the money"
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-10-29

tain matter of importance was to be re-
membered, he pinned II down on his
mind, fastened It there, and made IL
stay. He used to say:
When man tells me that he for
got TO do something, tell him he might
as we'll have said l do not care enough
about your business to take the trouble
to think of IL again" / once had an
intelligent young man in my employ
ment who deemed 1t sufficient excuse
for neglecting any important task to
say forgot it." 1 told him that would
not answer. If he was sufficiently in
terested he would be careful to remem-
ber. 1t was because he did not care
enough that he forgot ii. / drilled him
with this truth. He worked for me
three years, and during the last of the
three he was utterly changed in this
respect. He did not forget thing.
His forgetting, he found, was a lazy and
careless habit of the mind, which he
cured.
