A JaDaD NewSDaEer.

Hating our karamus at the door OF
the Toxic Nichj-Njchi Shjnbun (ItOice
Daily NcWS), we went in. But the
type case-for there was only one of
body type. And such Il type case!
Ghost Of Benjamin Franklin, what a
case. Suppose we measure it. 1t is
divided for utility in two sections
sloping toward an alley five feet wide.
Each section is four feet wide by thirty
feet long-4x6O feet There's new
case for YOU. This Is divided into small
compartments or boxes, into which the
type is laid in regular piles, several
piles in box-with faces all toward the
compositor-mostly boys, big and little.
Each holds wooden stick" with brass
rule. The type are all of a size; the
''stick" is not set to the measure of the
column, which is twenty ems. plea, but
to about half the measUre-it being the
business of the other workmen to i'm
pose the lines in columns, take proof,
and make up forms. Now, then, the
type-setting. Armed with sticks, and
rule, and copy, the dozen compositors
read the last in an earnest, sing-song
way, each rushing to some box far OF
near for the needed letter-then back
ten or twelve feet to the second one-an
are on the lively moye-rushing and
skipping to and fro, right and left, up
and down, chase, balance to partners,
swing the corners, up and back, sing
ing the copy, catching one letter here,
another there, prancing and lodging,
humming and skipping-a promenade,
cotillon, Virginia reel, racquet, and all
hands-around upon the same floor at
the same time, and the same dancers in
each-a perfect maze of noise and con-
fusion-yct out of confusion bringing
printed order! 1t was q sight to be
seen. How many different characters
are there in this case, anyhow" we
asked our guide. Then our guide asked
the printers, and none could answer
better than TO say: Nobody Knows
sir; nobody knows-many thousand"
Later on we repeated the same question
to a more intelligent person, who said:
cat least 100000" That will account
for the remarkable size of the case, and
the racing to and fro of the compositors.
just why they intone their copy all the
while was not made so clear-other
than the remark that it was the custom.
Toxic monopolizes the Japan newspaper
business-there being only one other
point-Kofu-in Eastern Japan where
newspapers are printed. The masses of
the people are able to read in their own
way, but comparatively few can grasp
the full flow of Chinese characters. In
point of illiteracy, the statistics place
this nation at only per cent-or next
to Bavaria, which is the lowest on the
list Correspondence Davenport Demo-

graphical union Friday the special COM
mittee on the question Of the union joining
the Knights of Labor presented lengthy
report, which was adopted. Tho report,

ton of the working force will -ensue; news
