How a Marvellous Paper is Issued.
New York Herald .

It is only by the most economical
use of every minute of the day and
night preceding the issue of a septu-
pie sheet, the adoption of the most
perfect business and mechanical sys-
TENS, and the full use Of every force
at the command of the Herald that
an immense Sunday edition Of the
septuple sheet, such as is printed to-
day, is make ready. The twenty
eight pages in this mornings septupIe
contain 1O8 columns, averaging $3.50
ems to the columns, agate measure
ment, making in all 1,554,O00 ems.
This means that the Herald must
have a force of printers who can, in
the brief time allowed, pick up, put
in place and transfer to the form A.
$4,000 letters, almost weightless in
dividually, yet In the aggregate weigh
ing, aslaid in the form, 2O16 pounds
of type. Seven double perfecting
presses were used, several of which
not only print, but cut, fold and paste
the several sheets together. When
these presses are under way 1888
perfect eight-page papers are printed
every minute, and yet they can hardly
meet the demand of the HeraWs
readers Oh Sunday mornings. How
great this edition is can perhaps be
rightly understood when we say that
the newsmen and carriers took out
from the Herald establishment on
last Sunday over twenty tons of pa
per aud distributed them finally to
the individual readers. The broad
rolls of paper thus used, if extended
from the Herald building, would have
reached beyond Washington and
nearly to Richmond, Va.

How the Art of TRANSMISSION OF Blood Is

more common than you would be-
lieve, and it is most efficacious where
a person through hemorrhage or from
other causes is at deaths door from
loss of blood. Nor is the operation a
difficult one; on the contrary it is so
simple that any intelligent person
can, if properly instructed, perform it,

and other like casualties where per-
sons in many cases die from absolute

"What is the usual method OF
transfusing the blood?"
"Well, after first binding the arms
of the person from whom the blood is
to be taken and OF the person to whom
the blood is to be transfused, an Incl
cion is made in one of the veins OF
the former, and the blood which flows
from it is placed in one or two cups
or bowls. Then the blood, which
has meantime been beaten to prevent
coagulation, must be strained through
a piece of linen into another cup, and
it is then ready for placing into the
arm of the patient. This is done
slowly-a little at a time-by the aid
of the syringe through a puncturemad
in the vein in the arm, and the opera
ton is done. 1t is, as you will see,
simple and almost always effective.
Of course care must be taken to have

otherwise any desease must be trans

rather have an unhealthy person to

earnestly advocate the teaching of such
simple life-saving remedies in the
higher classes of our schools, as they
are beneficial in their results and re-

that physicians have a higher aim

Where They Come From.

In the nine months that ended
March 81 there came from Germany
to this country nearly five times as
many immigrants as came from Ire
land in the same period. Ireland was
outdone, indeed, even by England
and Wales, for these countries sent
46, 23O, while Ireland sent only 25,Ol4.
But the forty-five thousand who came
from the Dominion of Canada are an
uncertain quantity as to nationality
that may change this relation.

A Horrible Street Scene.
Montreal, Canada, Witness.

About nine o'clock this morning a
number of cattle were being driven
to the abbatoir in charge of two men,
and when near Panel street a large
COW struggled behind the rest. At
this moment, Mrs. Rosa McEnroe,
residing at No. 23 Bonaparte street,
was returning home from church, and
in rounding the corner of Panel
street came Unexpectedly near the
animal. The latter charged furiously
upon her, and before the unfortunate
woman could realize her situation,
the creature had her impaled upon
its horns and was making rapid head
way with her down Craig Street. Be-
ing stopped by some men with spades
and pick-axes, who were removing ice.
the COW turned suddenly in a doorway
and made frantic efforts to toss its
victim in the air. This it was pre-
vented from doing the by fact that its

A Case Of Mitigated Aflliction.

Not long since gentleman of Aus,
tin, while crossing the track of the In
ternational and Great Northern rail-
road on a mule, was struck by the To-
connective and killed. The mule was
also hurried into eternity. The man.
although perfect gentleman on the
street, was a domestic tyrant of the
deepest dye. Without any provoca-
ton whatever he used to beat his wife
and lock her in wardrobe; hence
when she heard of his death it was not
so much a case of heavy bereavmsnt
as it was of mitigated affliction. As.
the engineer of the locomotive was,
clearly to blame for the accident, It,
was suggested to the widow that she
bring suit for damages. She resolved
to do so and called at the office of the
railroad company. The proper official
happened to be in. The widow had
such a clear case against the company
that it was deemed advisable to com
promise the matter.

after the widow had thrown back her
veil and stated her business. We

agitated.

The New Railroad Law.
Tyler Courier

The railroad bill, known as the GlD'
son substitute, which has passed both
branches of the legislature and been
approved by the governor, thereby be-
coming a law, and goes ento imme-
date effect, is too long to publish the
full text. The following is a synopsis
of the law:
1t provides for the appointment by
the governor of an experienced rail
road engineer at a salary OF $3,O0O
per annum, whose duty it shall be to
carefully inspect the condition and
manner of operating railroads in this
State with special reference to the
safety and the proper accommodation
of the public. 1t provides that the
charges for the transportation on each
class or kind of freight moving in the
same direction shall be uniform and
any unjust determinations in the
rates or charges for the transportation
of any freight made against any per
son or place of any railroad operated
in the State is declared to be unlawful,
and if any railroad corporation shall
wilfully charge from any person for
the transportation of any freight upon
it's railroad any higher or greater rate of
toll orcompensation than itshall charge
any other person forthe transportation
of the like quantity of freight of the
same class being transported from the
same point in the same direction, or
receive from any person or persons
for the use of transportation of any
railroad car OF cars upon it's railroad
a higher or greater sum than it shall
charge, collect or receive from any
otherperson or persons for the use OF
transportation of car or cars of the
same class for alike purpose from the
same point, in the same direction and
an equal distance, or if any company
shall charge one person more for trans
porting freight of the same class in
equal or less quantities over its road
for the same OF less distance than it
charges another for the same or great
er distance, all such discriminating
rates, charges or collections, whether
made directly or by means of any re.
bate or other shift or evasion shall be
considered as primafacia evidence of
extortion and unjust discrimination,
which is prohibited and declared un-
lawful, andNfor such violation of law
shall forfeit and pay to the person or
persons injured thereby $500, to be
recovered before any court having ju-
risdictoin of the amount in any coun-
ty through, OF into, which the freight
is transported.
Every railroad company is required
to keep posted IN conspicuous place
at, all depots a printed or written
schedule Of its freight charges from
the principal office to all depots on
it's lines, and a failure to do so sub
jects the company to a fine of $500
for every five days neglect to furnish
the notice.
1t fixes passenger fare at three cents
for adults and two cents for children;
under ten years old free.
