FOLLOWING COPY.

Every printer knows tits a very
old rule in the trade to follow copy.
This is subject however to many ex-
ceptions, especially if the writer is so
ignorant as to have no conception
whatever of typographical accuracy.
Then the printed work must be made
as nearly correct as possible and
this must be done at all hazards.
A few years ago a job printer who
lived in Boston made solemn VOW
which soon proved to be a rash one,
that, whenever he had an advertise
ment to print, nothing would induce
him to depart from it in single
word, or in the spelling of a word.
He would follow copy strictly-sla-
vishly.. 1t all arose in consequence
of dispute which he had with GUS
toner about the alterations in an adj
vertisement. Two days had not
elapsed after he had issued the Or
der in his office before the result of
his resolution was the following ef-
fusion

HOW CHINAMEN BARGAIN
FOR WIVES.

An Australian Chinaman, when
anxious to have a wife of his own
nation, says the North China Herald,
sends letter to an agent in Hong
Kong. The following is condens-
ed translation of one of these epistles
81 want a wife. She must be a
maiden under 20 years of age, and
must not have left her fathers house.
She must have never read a book,
and her eyelashes must be half an
inch in length. Her teeth must be as
sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon.
Her breath must be like unto the
scents of the magnificent odorous
groves of Java, and her attire must
be from the silken weavers of the
KaaLi-Ching, which are on the banks
of the greatest river in the world
the everfowing Yang-tse-Kiang."
The price of Chinese woman de-
llvered In Sidney is f38, but two Chi
nese women only cost f52; there
fore the heather Chinese import the
women in couples. The importer
never sees his women before they ar
rive, and then he generally selects
the best-looking one. The other is
shown around to number of we'll
to-do Chinese, and, after they have
inspected her, she is submitted to
what may be called public auction
At recent sale at Sydney a young
girl, aged about 10, was offered, and
after some spirited bidding she was
purchased by a wealthy Chinese
store keeper, whose place of business
is in one of the leading towns of
New South Wales, for S120. The
melancholy aspect of the Celestial
girl, as she went away in company
with the man who purchased her,
was deplorable to the last degree.

The FIRST OCEAN STEAMsHIP.-It
is just sixty-three years since the
Savannah, a vessel of $50 tons.
sailed from the port after which she
was named for Liverpool. The YES
sci was built by Francis Fitchet at
New York, where she was launched
in 1918, and afterward fitted with
engines made at Morristown, n. j.
The credit of crossing the ocean is
due to John Scarborough, who bought
the steamer just after she left the
stocks. 1t is stated that when the
novel ship with funnel arrived off
Cape Clear she was supposed to be
on fire, and cutter was sent from
the naval station at Cork to her re-
lief. A rumor having obtained ere
dence that she was designed to res
cue Napoleon from ST. Helena, a
sharp watch was kept on her. The
real object was to sell her at a profit,
and she was offered to the Swedish
and Russian governments, but as
neither would buy her, she once more
made the ocean passage to New
York, traded between New York and
Savannah, and was finally wrecked
on Long Island.

The devoted and self-sacrificing
spirit of women is well known, and
illustrations of it multiply. The
most marked instance of late is fur
nished i'm the case of President Ar
thur, who, as the reading public Is
informed, is in receipt of more mat
rimonial proposals than, in the words
of vigorous if not entirely clear
provincial expression, she can shake
stick at" The women who are
thus agitated in regard to the Presi-
dent doubtless have an eye single to
his welfare. The idea of this lonely
man in the dreary solitudes of the
White House, with nobody but unsym-
pathetic Cabinet members and other
officials to share his life. is certainly
calculated to move any sensitive fe-
male breast, with the thought of what
his condition must be when a shirt
button flies off while he is dressing is
enough to move even a washer-wo-
man to tears.

AS TO SITTING DOWN AT
MEAT,

Two leading ideas should be con-
stantly in mind by every human being
who sits down to a meal. The first
is that most people nullify the benefit
of their meals by eating too rapidly.
The other is that the neglect to be
cheerful while eating is common
cause ofdyspeptic wretchedness.
The haste with which the American
business man devours his food has
become proverbial the world over.
To see the average eater at his mid
day lunch is to be struck with the
idea that the poor fellow is swallow
ing his last meal and that he has but
a few moments before being led out
to execution. 1t is not only that
the man is too hasty for his own per-
sonal good, but by his example he
communicates the bad habit to his
family at home as he sits at meat
with them. They all acquire the GUS
tom of bOlting their food in such a
manner as to secure the least advan-
tage from it and the greatest amount
of physical discomfort.
Even worse than eating rapidly is
the habit of partaking of meals in
lone and cheerless manner. Man
was not made to be hermit. The
wretch who lives in cell on prison
fare may derive nourishment from
what he eats and may even grow cor
pulent. But meals eaten as he
has to eat them are marvels of mys-
tery.-To have to sit down with
gloomy and severe people even at a
well spread table is quite as bad as
to eat in the confinement of jail.
The appetite which should be the
spice of the meal is chilled by the
cheerless, and the digestion which
should follow is failure.
The brightest hope for the eater is
when the sunlight makes the room
brilliant, when CHEEKY chat makes
those who surround the table to
sparkle with good humor and when
the hearty laugh shows that good
fellowship is at its height. For long
life and prosperity, let us Danish from
our tables all that is disagreeable,
sour, vixenish and gloomy. Let us
eat our meals in as deliberate leisure
as possible and with view to get
ting the greatest enjoyment and ben
eft from it.-Phdd. Times.

PERFECT TRUST.

My boat is on the open sea,
Which storms and tempest toss;
l know not of the isle to meet
Before get across.
1 do not know how long or short
The fitful voyage may be;
But patient I'll abide His time
Who builds boat for me.
'Tis fully manned in every part.
Hope is the anchor fair;
The compass that it has is Faith,
And every oar is prayer.
Sometimes I see the breakers high,
The ocean madly roars,
But all I do is simply this
Bend closer to the oars.
At times the waves run mountains high
And threaten me to strand;
fear not; for He holds them in
The hollow of his hand.
The fog at times obscures my course,
1 see the way but dim;
But we'll know cannot drift
Beyond the sight of Him.
know not where the shoals may lie,
Nor where the whirlpools be,
1t is enough, dear Lord, to feel
That they are known to Thee.
And thus content glide along,
If either slow or fast,
Well knowing He will surely bring
Me safe to port at last.
