The London Times Establishment.

The ordinary public that reads its
morning newspaper oyer breakfast has
a very vague idea of the tremendous
machinery necessary to the daily jour-
nails production. Apart from the
correspondents, the telegraphists, the
steamers, the railway trains, that are
engaged in its service abroad, there are
at home the editors, leader writers,
critics, reviewers. reporters. messen-
gers. a multitude of persons. men of
the highest culture and learning, down
to the nimblest of chroniclers, telegraph
clerks and messengers. These, formula
bic as is their power, simply supply the
pabulum, the manuscript, the material
for manufacture. How great and how
little all this is al outsider can hardly
appreciate until he has seen q leading
newspaper establishment at work. The
Times office is a vast machine-Shop and
factory. Everything in the place, ex-
cept the paper. is made on the spot.
The top floor of the building is de-
voted to the bound files of the paper.
Descending to the next, YOU come to
~dining-rooms and kitchens-one de-
partment for the clerks. another for the
compositors and workmen generally.
The service is conducted on canteen
principles, and as q rule all the en-
ployes are glad to have the opportunity
of taking their meals here. The
kitchens are ittedup with every modern
appliance. The meats are not baked,
all kinds of joints together. in n oven.
as is the case in most English restau-
rants. to the utter destruction of their
individual character and flavor; they
are roasted before open fires. l
noticed that there is q complete staff
of cooks, with o Chef, who ap-
pears to take a special pride in
his art. On this floor there
are also store-rooms and other apart
ments. AS you descend you come next
to broad and high composing-rooms,
lighted with electric lamps. Cloak
DON are provided for the men, each
article of clothing being checked by an
attendant after the manner of New
York club houses. Here and there are
quiet Offices. with telephone and other
machines in use and on trial One Groom

that no remedy yet published will cure

effectual cure, and, as know that many

A terrible calamity has fallen upon

feet above the level of the sea, il nest

the hillside in a deep basin formed by
great mountain peaks which lowered
