Interesting Statistics of the Composir

Interesting Statistics of the Composing
Rooms of the Country.
The tables prepared for the last
United States census respecting print
ing, although both curious and valu-
able, have received only little attention
from the newspapers of the day. Part
of this, no doubt, arose from the fact
that the volume was published during
The heat Of the last political campaign,
when all other subjects were dwarfed,
but part comes from the fact that the
results were not clear to many writers,
who had not been bred to the art and
were not in the habit of analyZing sta
tistics One of the tables which have
been least noticed is that showing the
number of pounds of type used upon
the newspapers of the United States,
and the quantity of type regularly set.
New York has 1,242,64 pounds of
type, or enough to fill cases for $4,000
compositors, her proportion being one
hfth of the Union, which has 6.6S9, ,o7e
pounds. Five States, New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa, have
nearly one-half of all the type, and sci
one-half of the number of ems. A
pound of type sets eighty-three ems,
and assuming that the average size ls
BREWER, there are for each thousand
set about 1.200 ems left in the cases.
The largest average set on dailies was
in Louisiana. 100000 ems, and the
smallest in New Mexico, $4,000 ems,
the average being "a, 147. The average
on weeklies was 57,197. the largest be-
ing in the District of Columbia. 90, 600,
while in Wyoming it was the smallest,
$4,000. Of the long-settled States,
Alabama had the smallest, $4,000. The
total amount of type set for one issue
would make 2 785 duodecmo volumes,
and that done on the dailies in year
would fill 10000 volumes to match

AN INDIGESTlBLE NOTE.
How q Joker Was Compelled to Take .
Veritable Choke.

NCTlLaDtc OuOkes
A Prussian army officer, stationed
at Berlin, frequently had occasion to
borrow money from an accommodating
lsraelitish friend, who only charged
three or four per cent. month. As q
general thing. the officer, Baron Won
Pump, was able to meet his obligations,
but on the occasion to which we allude
be was not able to do so.
Moses Levy was promptly on hand
to collect the money. He called at the
Baron Won Pumps room. and presented
the note.
"Moses, l have heretofore alway.
been able to meet my note, but l have
no money to pay this one. You will
have to wait"
Il don't vait at all. Ven you don't
bay dot note right away, / goes and
prings dot note a shustus of der peace
pefore, and sues you on de spot.
Baron Won Pump quietly locked the
door and put the key in his pocket,
whereupon Moses legs began to wob.
BILE about, for he was afraid of personal
violence at the hands of his creditor.
The Baron produced pistol, and TO-
cussed the unhappy Israelite with it.
Now, Mr.. Judas Iscariot, 700 take
that note Of mine and eat it,
''Scheneral, vas schoost jokin' NIT
you. l can Wait so long as you wants"
81 can take joke as well as any
oody, and now it is your turn to take
choke. Chew up that note and swal-
low it, or you are dead man." and the
officer pressed lightly on the trigger.
In vain did Moses protest that he
didn't feel like eating; that he was in
no hurry for the money.
down with it, thundered the off.
Ger.
Although Moses was in no danger Of
perishing for lack of food, he clearly
perceived that he might prolong his
life by the collation. to which he was
cordially invited. He chewed up the
note, principal and interest, and cram
ing out his neck he managed to get il
down.
Now. you can 90 and bring suit on
that note, if you feel like it. Perhaps
the clerk of the court will put you on
file when you tell him where the note
isl said Baron Won Pump.
A few days afterwards the Baron re.
ceived some money from home, with
which he promptly paid Moses what
was coming to him.
"Scheneral, de next times ven you
wants some monies, schoost come to
your old friend, Moses Levy, who will
never 60 pack on YOU"
"All right, Moses. Next time | need
money I'll let you know"
Not long afterwards Baron Won
Pump needed some money, and mott
fed Moses to bring the amount desired
to his room. Having counted over
the amount. the officer took sheet OF
paper and began to write out his note
at ninety days for the amount.
If you please, Scheneral, schoos
stop dot right away. i would not have
dot" and from under his coat he drew
forth a large cake Of gingerbread.
Now, you schoost write dot note
out on dot gingerbread. SO ven l has to
