Now, like years ago, there is a
prevailing notion among those who
are but partially informed upon the
question, that the printing business
was essentially detrimental to health.
There was tradition about the ab-
sorption of poison from the conssitu-
en.s Of nich type metal was com
posed. This vas and is true SO far
as it asserts the poisonous nature
of some Of the constituent parts OF
type metal; bat that these poisons
should necessarily be absorbed into
the system of one who handles type
is simply absurd. Printers who
have such habits of cleanliness asd
sobriety as decent respect for ones
self and the opinions of others mig h.
be expected to dictate, may follo-y
their calling for years without ex-
periencing any further damaging ef-
iects upon their health than vha.

| CHICAGO seems victim to the
fiery tiend. At $3.50 Saturday after
noon, the Honore block was badly
scorched. aud the occupants exper-
fenced lively tunes in getting out Of
danger. This edilice, which is one
the finest in the city, was first erect
ed Immediately proceeding the great
fire Of 1871. 1t was rebuilt soon
after, on the same plan, ia theFrench
renaissance style, almost classical in
its severity. 1t is 1872 feet on Dear
born street and $50 on Adams. Was
five stories high, with basement al d
mansard roof, faced with Lemont
limestone, and Hnished with brick,
iron and stone. The foundation and
walls were u unusual stability, the
lishtest wall being l6 inches in
thickness. 1t was built for a hotel.
but, being remodeled for business
purposes, was occupied by the post
office shortly after the fire Of 1874.
Its original cost was over $500, 900,
out it could probably be put up now
for less. The building was damaged
TO tho amount OF Sl5O.000, and was
insured for 100000. The total in.
tividual losses are estimated at Sl5,.
300 to $4,000. The whole prove to
be less than might be expected.
