!: Secrets OF the. Printing Once.

Printers have. never, we think, re-
.ceived due appreciation for the honora-
BILE confidence which they have preserved
IN regard to the secrets with which they
have been intrusted. Such q case as,
this often happens. An article in a
newspaper or magazine makes what is
called 9 s sensation" It is entirely
anonymous, and public curiosity Is ex-,
cited to the utmost to discover the name
Of its author. The writer msy be q
Cabinet Minister, q high official, a court
Ter, or any of the thousand and one per-
ssns who, if he were suspected of writ.
ing for the press, would at once lose his
position, his Office perhaps his reputa-
ton. On the other hand, the writer
may be q struggling author, a hard
working journalist, or 9 mere literary
amateur. !. In any case his secret is pre-
served his anonymity is safe as long as
it is confded to the printers. t,ss1,.,sst -
Some years ago there was q great stir
made about q book entitled "Ecce
Homo. - It was clever work, and had
an unexampled success. ''Who is the:
author ?" was the question on every
body lips: Some scores Of persons
were named, and they repudiated their
participation in it. ALI sorts of conject-
ures were hazarded. and no doubt large
sums would have been paid by several
conductors Of journals for authentic in
formation as to the name Of the author.
Yet that name was known to master
printer, his overseer, and at least some
Of the compositors, but it was never re-
vealed. When the name was published,
it was not through the fundamentally
of the printers, but entirely independ-
ent of them. They had faithfully kept
their secret. - - !"
Going back q few years, the author
ship Of the "Waverly Novels " may be
referred to as a remarkable incident Of
literary history. Sir Walter Scott's
authorship, although known by twenty
persons, including o number Of printers,
was 80 well concealed that the great
novelist could not, even in his match
less vocabulary, find words Of praise SUI
fcient to express the sense of his CRATE
fpl acknowledgment and wondering
admiration for the matchless fidelity
with which the mystery had been pre-:
served. '.

Woman as q Census Taker

Neatly-dressed woman of an mcer-
tain age with big book under her arm
and pen in hand rings the door bell,
Young lady appears at the door.
Census enumerator-" Good morning.
Lovely morning: I'm taking the census.
You were born?"
Young lady" Yes'm."
"Your name, please? What a pretty
dust cap you have on. Can I get the
pattern? It's just like the lady in the
next house has. Let's see, your name r.
IT haven't the pattern. Don't you
get awful tired walking around taking
the census?''
"Oh, yes, it's wearisome, but I pick
up q great deal of information. How
nice your dinner smells cooking. Plum
pudding?"
"h Maine. No, I haven't plum pud-
ding to-day. I'm looking for new
recipe"
Give got one that took down from
lady's cookbook across the way. Are
you married2'
"No.~ Want an invitation to the we'd
ding, don't you? It will be long time
before you get it. You can keep your
plum pudding recipe, thank you"
IT sh'd think 'twould be some time.
Have you chill O, Of course, forgot.
This hall carpet is just tie pattern Of
Aunt Prudy's. She's had it more than
twenty years. How many are they in
the family?
"If this hall carpet don't suit you,
you can get off from it and go about
your censusing."
"Well, you're an impudent jade, any
how. You haven't told me when you
were born or what's your name, orwhen
you expect to get married, and there's
$40 fine for not answering census takers
questions, and if I was you wouldn't
be seen at the door in such slouchy
morning dress, SO there"
"Oh, you hateful thing. You can
just 60 away. I'll pay $40 just to gel
rid Of you, and smile doing it. Its
none Of your business, nor the censuses
either. No, it isn't. You can keep
your pattern and your plum pudding
and your saucy, impudent questions tc
yoursel-I-I"
"Good morning. must be getting
on. I haven't done but three families
all the forenoon" and an energetic bang
of the door just missed catching fool
of her trailing dress skirts.
