The World.

The following will give some idea OF
what is required to run or manage a
newspaper and of the vastness Of the
newspaper business in the United States.
The New York Wlrid, OF Nov. 8, makes
the following statement concerning its
machinery, circulation &c. The total
cost of the machinery used in printing
the World is about s247,000. One Of
the presses weighs $4,000 pounds and
they use over seven and a half tons Of
type, comprising nearly 100000 Plec-
es Of metal. The equipment Of presses
at present, therefore is practically ten
machines, with capacity Of 10000
eight-page papers per hour, or 2,8SO,OOO
eight-page papers in twonty-four hours.
Since Jan. /, 1885, over lO5,O24 pounds
Of ink have been used on the presses.
The amount of paper consumed since
Jan. 1. 1885, is 6,579,733 pounds, the
cost of the same being s344,04,82. The
total circulation of the World from Jan.
/, 1885, to Nov. !, 1885, was II, ,llO,6J6
copies. These figures give but vague
idea of the immense quantity Of paper
stock that has been used 1t may be
more clearly appreciated when it is con-
sidered that the Worlds press room, con-
tanning ten perfeeting copies Of the World
issued since Jan. /, 1885, would belt the
earth nearly eight times, or, il made into
a paper bag, would, as far as the size Is
concerned contain New York City from
Harlem River to Castle Garden, houses
and people, chimneys and spires, wharves
and shipping, elevated roads and the
Brooklyn Bridge included and still at
ford room for several other municipali-
ties.

Jennie Jones is pretty young lady
residing at Highland, Ulster county, New
York. She is a dressmaker, and about a
year ago, while employed in New York,
she befriended an old lady who had lost
her pocket book, by loaning her a small
amount of money and also assisted her
across the street when the horse car in
which she had met her came to the place
where the old lady wished to alight. Miss
Jones gave her name and place of resi-
dence to the old lady at her request and
thought no more of it. A day or so ago
Miss Jones received a letter from a law
yer in Buffalo, which stated that by the
death of an old lady in that city she was
hciress to $4,000. The lady who be-
queathed the money was the person whom
Miss Jones had assisted year ago.

but extremely modest authoress, Mrs. Eva
Katherine Clapp Mrs. c app had been re-
Gently gone to housekeeping, and lady

thing She stepped to the kitchen door and

"What for?" asked Mrs Clapp innocently.
"Why for your servant, Of course"

The next day she came home with hand

Some one has estimated that the time
thrown away in this world in courting
the girl you want to marry you, would
build all the railroads and bridges and
public buildings. The white race should
take lesson in this from the colored peo-
pie. The other day likely young COL
ored man stood at gate in Birmingham,
Ala. A likely young colored woman
came along with dog.
Hi, darw he called, "but mebbe you
want to sell dat dog"
