important to a good newspaper, aud yet
so easily filed as that of the exchange

in the immediate vicinity. Every one
of these papers are read by the ex-
change editor, and if he fnds something
novel aud interesting, be cuts 1t and
credits to the paper from which 1t l.
taken. When he gets a number oil
these clippiogs, he hands them to the
managing editor to make a selection
from. The latter chooses the most
interesting of them. aud those are pub
