Not Quite Ready

a negro and his family living on the
Decatur division or the Louisville AZ
Nashville railroad recently attempted
one of the most sensational sWindles of
the day. There are ten children in tho
family. and the husband and wife find
it hard work to teed 50 many mouths.
At family council it was finally de-
cided that one OF the children should
sit down on the railroad track and be
run over by a passenger train. The
parents would then sue the company
for damages, with which the remaining
Youngsters could be fed, clothed and
educated. One of the boys was 80
much struck with the project that he
volunteered to sacrifice himself for the
ood o L the Others. Shortly before the
train was due he took his place on the
track and waited. The train came
laundering along. The little chap held
the fort. He was true grit until the
engine got within a few feet OF him,
when he gave an nnearthly yell, and
with bound into mid-air made tracks
The authorities invested the matter
and the above facts all came out.

A Chinese Printing Ofhce.

In San Francisco Chinese printing
office the manner of putting a newspa-
per on the press and printing is very
primitive. The editor takes American
newspapers to friends, from whom he
gets a translation of the matter he
needs, and after getting it written in
Chinese in matter satisfactory to him
he carefully writes it upon paper chem.
ically prepared. Upon the bed OF the
press, which is of the style that went
out of use with the last century, is a
lithograph stone. Upon this the paper
is laid until the impression of the char
acters is left there. A large roller is
linked and passed oyer the stone after it
has been dampened with wet sponge,
and nothing remains but to take the
impression upon the newspaper to be.
The Chinese pressman prints three pa
pers every Eve minutes, five papers in
the same time less than Benjamin
Franklin had q record for. The life of
a Chinese journalist is happy one. lie
is free from care and thought, and al
lows all the work of the establishment
to be done by the pressman. The Chi
nese compositor has not arrived. The
Chinese editor, like the rest of his coun-
trymen is imitatiye. He does not de-
pend upon his brain for editorials, but
translates them from all the contempo-
raneous American newspapers he can
get. There is no humorous department.
in the Chinese newspaper. The news
paper Office has no exchanges scattered
over the floor, ana in nearly all other
things i. differs from the American es-
tablishment. The editorial room is
connected by ladder with hunks on
the loft above, where the managing ed
itor sleeps, and next to it is,invariably,
a room where an opium bunk and a lay
out reside. Evidences of domestic life
ale about the place, pots, kettles, and
dishes taking up about as much room
as the press. In all cases, no dlsposl-
tion is shown to elevate the position OF
the ssprinter" above his surroundings.
If an editor finds that journalism does
not pay, he gets job washing dishes
or chopping wood. and he does not think
he has descended far, either.

SHALL WE HAVE TARIFF REFORMS

II Ia probable n cautious but substan-

there exists u decided and well defined
public opinion, based on certain gen
eral facts In the relation Of the tarif TO
the industries and interests OF the coun-
try, and during the next session OF Con
Rreaa II In extremely likely this opinion
will make Itself felt. The most con-
apicuous and important OF these facta
are these: a. That the general indus.
trioa OF tho country have reached q point
where they require o foreign markets
