TYPOGRIPLIICAL BIZ UND ERg,
A Fresh Compilation OF Amusing H.
lustrations.

A great many colum1s have been
written concerning typoe raob:cal
errors, and many of the i.,sta ces
sound SO witty or so stupid that it
seems as if they must be rather
Inventions than actual happenings,
but we never saw one cited so
unlikely that we couldn't remember
its match. Once we wrote that it
WAS 'like evoking the shadow of
shade" to quote forgotten writer's.
The phrase appeared in print thus:
"Liko cooking the shadow of shad."
The printer had, in burlesquing the
sentiment, actually preserved and
intensified it in most striking
image of Enthusiastically. At
another time we had quoted the
proverbial opinion of Rosalind,
"Nlen have died and worms have
eaton them-but not for love-"
The printer may have been MISC
gynist ; at all events lie substituted
women" for "worms. There are
Shakespeare emnations not much
better than that, perhaps. In ono
of the country weeklies thore was
recently an account of the presen-
tation to some of q Bible "bound in
guilt. In discussion one spoke of
the "the divine totality of bcing;"
it was reported as "the sublime
brutality of feeling This may
have been the reporters error but
not 80 whom Methodist college
president spoke of sin as "a dark,
guilty, dnmning fact" and found it
published as ga dark, quietly, dawn
ing fact" and describing the death
of Jesus rs "vivacious." This was
in a very religious paper, and anoth-
er intoan eloquent hymn admitted
this questionable temperance SEN
timent-'I praise The still"
Sometimes these things are SO
funny that the writer can't be as
angry as he would like, but still
that Virginia editor must have been
'hopping mad" when his powerful
leader wound up with "Courage,
tillers of the land! and forget, in
the excitement Of politics, your
pantry and your nursery !" He had
witten 'spoverty" and "misery." And
how must Astronomer Proctor have
felt when, having written of tslines,
hands and stri1 near the violet end
of the spectra," he was represented
as seeing ''links, bonds and stripes
for the violent kind of spectres 2"
Perhaps as if he had had peep
into a spiritual ltlnatic asylum
which must be necessary enough, if
the mediums have got the rights of
it, to store Diakkas in.

Whoa, EMMA The New York
World says: The phrase, Whoa
Emma, was first brought out in
police-court trial in London last
year, where woman brought up q
neighbor for prosecuting and
"aggerawating" her, one method of
"aggerawation" specified being
accosting her on the street, in the
hoaring of all men, with shout of
"Whoa, Emma!" The lady object
ed to this familiar use of her
Christian name also to the SUBJ
stitution of "Whoa - for "Stop!" or
even "Hullo!" The thing got into
all the papers, one or two Of which
gave articles commenting on this
new and peculiar method of perse~
cution; the phrase was made the
chorus of q comic song, and soon
became popular in England and
America. It has fallen into disuse
of late months among those who
keep themselves informed in ncurrent
slang.

exhibition of the most extraordinary

would have required two thousand
armed men to have effected. All
this was effected by the presence

A certain knowledge that. in one

flowed effected this great and worthy

"IVlo SLtbAA 40 'tooi, 1ASo c"hHAHoH ~
acid will remain in tho syrup. The
chalk being carbonate of lime, its
use will explain why lime may be
found in large quantity in the syrup.
Sugar readily unites with lime,
forming q class of substances which
lose entirely the taste of sugar and
are bitter instead. Grape sugar
also unites in the same way, and in
the method of manufacture, given
above, large quantity of these
substances remain in solution and
destroy what little sweetness the
puro grape sugar would have One
part of lime will destroy the sweot-
ness of six parts of sugar, forming
a bitter compound.
AS grape sugar does not crystal
lie, it is chiefly used in the adul-
teration of syrups. Professor
Kedzie analysed seventeen speci-
mems of syrup to satisfy himself of
the charges Of fraud, and for this
purpose bought none but the very
best brands from the largest deal
ers. Of these only too were of
pure cane sugar, while Fifteen were
chemical preparations from starch.
One specimen, No. 8, i'll his list,
contained i'll one gallon of syrup,
plenty of copperas and 297 grains
Of lime No. II contained 142
grains of sulphuric acid, % grains
Of copperas and 725 grains, or one.
tenth of a pound of limo. No. 13
contained 5S grains of copperas, SO
grains of sulphurie acid and 44O
grains of lime; while the syrup that
poisoned the family contained II
grains of sulphuric acid, % grains
Of copperas and 363 grains of lime.
All the others except two Wero
adulterated, moro or less.
AS to tho taste, one pound of cano
sugar has the same sweetness as
two ana q half pounds of grape
sugar. Hence the general COM
plant that the syrups nowadays
are not as sweet as thoy used to he.
Professor Kedzie closes this branch
of the subject by remarking: "The
thought Of using such mixtures as q
relish for our food is not very
appetizing; some of these drips
seem to be made up of about equal
parts of fraud and dirt. A facetious
friend has quoted, in this connec-
tion, the old saying: "A man must
ont his peck Of dirt before he dies
II any one feels uneasy lest he be
defrauded of 'his peck Of dirt, let
him eat few gallons Of No. II, and
he may rest on his L.urels the BAL
ance of his days"
AS to tests, q little strong ten
will turn the syrup black, if cop
peras be present. For lime, dis
solve oxalic acid "a deadly poison)
in water, and pour it into a tumbler
of "sweetened water" and if lime is
present it will be precipitatod to the
bottom. After reading this, it will
occur that the refined syrups are
not as clean and safe eating as the
old fashioned dark molasses and
syrup that once satisfied the people.
When "Golden Drip" or "Sugar
House Syrup" can be made Of
sawdust and old shirts it is time to
speak word of expostulation.

Once again n ew Englaud's most popular
festival is at hand. Thanksgiving is here.
Once again the scattered members of the
family circle gather in imagination, if not in
fact. under the old ancestral roof and taste
once more of the joys Of other days, if not of
the fat things of to-day Once again the old
folks recount in the ears Of ambitious youth
the struggles encountered and successfully
overcome on the old farm. Sometimes it was
late, sometimes it was early. frosts some
times wet. sometimes dry, season, which
bhghted the crops. Perhaps it was sickness
at home or abroad which interfered with the
proper care-taking Of the old place. Stories
Of the great war will now be in place how
one, two. and even three noble and heroic
boys went of TO fight for the Union and Lib
erty. and how they all fell and fill nameless
graves; or, il may be. one. broken in body aud
shattered in health, came back to tell the sad
proud story of how nobly and faithfully the
others did their duty and died in peace with
messages Of love on their lips for the dear
ones at home on the old farm among the
hills.
Sacred to family memories and true friend
ship is the festival Of Thanksgiving. And
not often have the people Of New England
been able to celebrate ii uuder pleasanter cir
cumstauccs than this very year Seldom
have the labors Of the husbandmau been
crowned with a more ample reward. The
commercial horizon. after protacted period
Of unparalleled cloudiness and depression,
begins to be streaked with unmistalhble
symptoms of dawping prosperity Gold from
the vaults of England. France and Germany
flows in a steady stream to our shores in re-
turn for our surplus crops and to some ex-
tent for our manufactures. The political out
look is reassuring. The financial condition
Of the nation is good, and steadily improving,
and it seems as if, with the wisdom we ought
to have learned from our past experiences
we ought 10 have n period of solid prosperity
| And so, at this festival, let us eat the fat and
| drink the sweet with thankfulness and hope
not forgetting the Scriptural injunction tc
send portions to them for whom nothing ha'
| been preuared

work. we do not say. but it is this kind which
TIE PHuN1z, and all papers Of It's class, do
give. and expect 10 give To sum up, the
simple fact, in a nut shell is that the demand
upon newspapers, in both quantity and quail
ity Of matter, is from fifty to one hundred
per cent. greater than it was twenty years
ago. With the decline Of prices in general
there has been no appreciate decline in tho
cost Of producing newspaper from what it
was ten years ago, and, in order to success
fully publish a newspaper at the prices charg-
ed in 1860, such a cut down in amount and
character Of matter furnished would be inn
perative, as discriminating readers would not
tolerate. We do not here refer to weekly
papers emanatng from city daily offices, the
ouly cost Of which is in their press work and
white paper. Nor do we refer TO country pa
pers Of a class which in cheapening their
price, cheaper their quality by patent in
sides or outsides the use Of pages Of stereo-
type plates. or by any other device, such as
the genuine newspaper man. to the manor
born scorns to infict on his readers We do
not forget that, with those persons TO whom
"a newspaper is Il newspaper regardless Of
quality. this statement Of simple and indis-
putable facts will have no weight. BY that
large class in the community, however, who
appreciate conscientious newspaper work,
and who look to see in their weekly paper a
carefully drawn picture OF the happenings
or their local world, and to a great extent.
of the world at large, it will be appreciated
