Type Work ola Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an article
on "How Mistakes Happened in News
papers" figures up The number of types
used in a paper the size of the Eagle at
COG, 900; /. E., the actual number of bites
of metal arranged or te-arranged every
day in preparing newspaper of that size
for the press. We suppose few persons
think of the printing trade as one of the
most exact and particular or all the handi-
crafts but it is. In making type, varia-
ton that might be allowed in the finest
machinery would render the type useless.
1t Is very rarely that type furnished by two
seperate foundrles can be used together
without great deal of trouble though they
try to make them after the same standard.
We read once in while of cabinet work
or moseic work, containing ten, twenty or
forty thousand pieces the maker of which
has spent months, or even years in produc-
ing it, and people go to see it as great
curiousity but theI most elaborate and
carefully-titted piece or work of this kind
does not compare with that which the
printer does every day, for minuteness of
d tail and accuracy of fitting. The man
who does the first is looked upon as an art
ist-a marvil of skill and if hundred of
his pieces are put i'll wrong side up or turn
ed the wrong way, tits not observed in the
effect. But if the printer in fitting ten
times as many pieces in single day, puts
one where another should be or turns one
the wrong way everybody sees it, and is
amazed at the 'stupd carelessness of those
