HOW AN EDITOR UTILIZED A COL
UMN OF cpl"

England can boast Of one editor at least who
might be trusted to run a country newspaper In
the United States,
In his youth, Sir Richard Phillips edited and
published paper In Leicester, England, called
the Herald One day an article appeared in 1t
headed Dutch Mail and edde / to It was the an.
noul cement that 1t had arrived too late for trans.
latton, and had so been set up and printed in the
original, The wondrous article drove half Eng.
land crazy, and for years the best Dutch scholars
squabbled over It without being able to arrive at
any idea Of what 1t meant.
The famous Dutch Mail" was In reality merely
column Of "pi"
"Pl," 1t may as well be explained, Is a tumble
Of odd letters gathered up and SET on end SO as to
save their faces from being scraped, to be dis.
tributed at the leisure OF the printers. Some let.
ters are upside down, often ten or twelve conso
nants, or as many Vowels come together, and the
whole is peppered with punctuation, dashes aud
so on, till 1t might pass for poetry by a lunatlc
Choctaw. The story Sir Richard tells Of the par.
ticular 'pi' he had whole hand In is this:
"One evening, before one Of our publications,
my men and boy overturned two columns Of the
paper In type We had to get ready in some way
for the coaches, which at four In the morning re.
quired 400 or 800 papers, After every exertion
we were short nearly column but there stood
on the galley tempting column OF "pi." 1t
suddenly struck me 1t might be thought Dutch.
made up the column, overcome the scruples Of
the foreman and 80 away the country edition
went with It's philylJgical puzzle to worry the
honest agricultural readers head. There was
plenty Of time to set up a column Of plain Eng
lish for the LEGAL edition."
Sir Richard tells Of one man he had met at
Nottingham, who for thirty eight years preserved
copy Of the Leicester Herald, hoping that some
day the letter would be explained,

As he prepares to navigate street corner he

clings to the body with the other, and with bis
cigar projecting at an angle Of iorty.fve degrees
holds his breath, shuts his eyes and scuds like
