FIFTY THOUSAND CHARACTERS.
Chinese Type Cases sixty Feet Long
md wv hat They CnnfniSn


and what They Contain.
The feature of the Toxic Niehi Niohi
Shnbur office was it's type case-for there
was only one of body type. And such a
type case! It is divided for utility into two
sections sloping toward an alley five feet
Wide. Each section is four feet wide by
thirty feet long-four by sixty feet. This
IS divided into small compartments or boxes
into which the type is laid in regular piles,
several piles In box, with faces all to-
wards the compositors, mostly boys, big
and little.
Each holds wooden t'stck" with brass
rule, says the Pail Mall Gazette. The type
IS all OF 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 worknlen to
impose the lines in columns, take proof and
make up forms.
Armed with sticks and rule and copy the
dozen compositors read the last in an earn
est, slng-song way, each rushing to some
box far or near for the needed letter, then
back ten or twelve feet for the next one.
ALI are on the lively move, rushing and
skipping to and fro, right and left, up and
down, chasse, balance to partners, swing
the corners, up and back, singing the copy,
catching one letter here, another there,
prancing and lodging. humming and skip
ping-a promenade, cotilion. Virginia reel,
racquet and all-hands-around upon the same
floor at the same time and the dancers in
each--a perfect maze of noise and confu-
sion, yet out of confusion bringing printed
order. 1t was a sight to be seen.
"How many different characters are
there in this case. anyhow" was asked of
the guide. Then the guide asked the
printers and none could answer better than
say: Nobody knows, SIT! Nobody knows
many thousand"
Later on he repeated the same question
to more Intelligent person, who said: cat
least SO, 1000" That will account for the
remarkable size of the case and the racing
to and fro Of the compositors.

STORY OF A BROKEN HEARr.u
Real Reason why James Buchon
an Remained a bachelor.

an Remained q Bachelor.
Washington Letter in Chicago News.
President Buchanan's love story is his
toric, and reads more like the conventional
novel of fifty years ago than plain fact.
But it happened just as tragedies happen
every day that are many times stranger
than fiction. When he was poor young
lawyer he became engaged to Miss Coleman,
who belonged to one of the richest, staidest
and, it may be assumed, narrowest-minded
and most purblind families in Philadelphia.
The Colemans by no means approved of
the match, but nevertheless the
young couple became engaged. Mr..
Buchanan was then practicing
law in a remote part of Phila-
delphia, and in those days of stage coaches
and saddle-bags correspondence was liable
to Interruptions. Miss Coleman's letters
became irregular and then stopped alto
gether. lie wrote repeatedly, but got no
reply. At last he determined to go to
Philadelphia, but at Lancaster the stage
met with an accident and Mr.. Buchanan
suffered broken leg. He wrote again as
soon as he was able, but still heard nothing.
Laid up in country tavern, in the midst of
phenelnenal snowstorm, for six weeks,
embittered him, and he wrote Miss Cole
man letter of fierce reproaches, and then
wrote no more, Now for Miss Coleman's
part. Her eminently respectable family
from the beginning intercepted al of her
letters and all of Mir. Buchanan's. She
made all the appeals to him woman could
make, but she never had line from him
after he left PHILADELPHIA except that last
cutting letter-and as, unfortunately. it
contained nothing but his remuneration of
her. she could know nothing of what had
preceded it. The eminently respectable
family were satisfed-the match was
broken Off by means that would have landed
them all in the penitentiary in these days.
"A year OF two afterward Mr.. Buchanan
was III Philadelphia, and at ball came
face to face with Miss Coleman Neither
spoke, and Mr.. Buchanan paid marked at
tention to another girl present. That night
young friend who was staying with Miss
Coleman said to her, while the two girls
were alone in their room: Ibid YOU see
Mr.. Buchanan's attentions to Miss?
Now they might have been yours had YOU
recognized him." Miss Coleman began to
sob violently. She would not be soothed,
and her friend, becoming alarmed, called
the family. Of what next happened two
accounts have been given; one was that she
had taken poison, and her sufferings after
ward came from that-but those
who were near her said that
she was simply suffering from
uncomfortable mental anguish. Towards
morning, when her pulse had got so low
that it was scarcely perceptible, and her
nervous excitement had changed into pro-
found stupor, the doctors were sent for.
But she was past help. They never reused
her, and she died the next day of what the
doctors called nervous exhaustion, but
which goes by the name of broken heart.
Then the truth came to Mr.. Buchanans
ears, and from that day his bachelorhood
was assured.

MINNEAPOLIS dropped hard-fought ana
interesting game to st. Paul yesterday on
the Minneapolis grounds-a game in which
MINNEAPOLIS outiielded its opponents, Dut
which St. Paul won by hard batting. Cleve-
lands work with the stick was wonderful.
When the game opened he stepped to the
plate and the first ball pitched was Knocked
high over the left field fence for home
run. and was the longest hit ever known on
the ground. He made also a single, a
double and a triple during the game, piling
. up ten bases and virtually winning the
game. Koran was knocked out of the box
in the fourth inning and Sowders took his
place, the result being three singles during
the rest of the game. In the fourth inning,
Rhue drove the ball to center field too hot
for Frazee, and before it could be fielded he
had crossed the plate. In the third, Sulll-
van filled the bases on called balls, when
outs by Allen and O'Rourke and single by
Sowders brought in three runs. Crooks hit
safely to third, but Sowders missed third
base in running in and was called out.
CLEvELAND'S DOUBLE
+ in the second brought i'll run, and his
triple in the fourth brought i'll two more.
He tried to make home run out OF his hit,
but was caught and nipped at the plate.
From the fourth to the ninth inning no
runs were made, brilliant fielding retiring
the sides in one two-three order, Foley's
one-hand catch of hot liner from Clark's
bat being the feature. Minneapolis went in
on the last inning with the score standing
to against it. Rhue's long hit was cap
tured by Frazee Weber took first on hit
by the ball and was advanced to second on
Horans out, coming in on FoleY'S Sa1e
single past short. Allen was thrown out
at first and ST. Paul came In with the score
tied. Douthett hit safely to left, stole sec
ond and reached third on wild pitch.
cleveland came to bat and drove hot liner
over Lynch's head, scoring Douthett and
winning the game. The play of Weber
was especially good, and that of Crooks;
Foley and Lynch for Minneapolis and
Clark and Douthett for st. Paul was COM
mendable Benefits umpiring was the
cause of some kicking. but he was impair
tial and was at least firm, keeping Barnes
off the ground and the players in their
places by sautary threats OF fines. The
score is as follows:

ABURMEsE FAIRY STORY.
The Gigantic Exaggeration of an
Oriental Imagination.

The Gigantic Exaggeration of an
Oriental IMag ination.
Good Words.
Fairy tales are popular among them, and
there is one which comes from over the
border in Siam which was told us by ST.
amese. The exaggerations all hang to-
gether artistically, and are in the same key,
as it were. ''There was once king who
heard that there was an enormous giant in
a far country, and he decided that he should
never rest until he got hair of the giants
head. So he sent his fleet, and they sailed
and they sailed and they sailed for
weeks and weeks and weeks, and at last
one day in the forenoon it became
suddenly dark, and they stuck fast and
could neither go forward nor backward.
Now the fact was they had got inside Of
hole in sort of carrot, the smallest veg
etable in the giants kingdom. And be-
hold the next morning the giants children
went out to fish, and as they went they
picked up two or three elephants on their
way for bait, but they were only able to
catch a few OF the very smallest fishes in
the country something equivalent to your
minnows.' said the narrator. And az thew
were going back they saw the carrot grow

put it into the curry, and inside it was
the whole feet. After they got home the
giant threw the fish and the carrot into
the pot in order to boil them, when the
fleet rose out of the root to the top of the
water with all the men in it. What are
those curious insects?' said the giant, peer
ing down into the pot" Then came a
good deal more which the narrator had
forgotten. 1.-The men tried to shout to the
giant and tell him what it was they
wanted, but their voices were too weak,
and he could not hear a word they
said. At length he lifted them up to
his ear in his hand and whole boats crew
marched in at the hole and went ever such
long way up inside. and they all shouted
together and told him they had come from
their king to ask him for hair of his head.
So at last he was able to hear what only
then seemed to him whisper. I'm
like his kind the giant was apparently as
good-natured as he was big-he gave them
the hair, lifted them back to the sea, where

nearly sunk it, after which he pulled out
his cheeks and gave tremendous blow.

LIVING I'm SAN FRANCISCO.
Appetite Satisfied ON Twenty-Five
Cents Day.


San Francisco Call.
San Francisco is proverbial for having
the cheapest restaurants of any populous
/. city in the Union. The visitor who walks
through our markets and surveys the al
most interminable varieties OF luscious and
attractive fruits exposed for sale on the
stands will not be surprised at this.
Within a year or two there has been
striking reduction of cost in most of the
articles of food, including fowls, eggs,
vegetables and fruits. placing them
within the reach of the poor, by whom
most of these luxuries were formerly en-
ioyed only occasionally. We have before
us the circulars of four different first-class
eating houses, whose published price lists
are about the same as those OF other OF our
city restaurants, and will serve to show
upon how small an amount man can SUBJ
sist in San Francisco. No. 1-For Is cents
half bottle claret wine; soup, AS much as
desired; one dish of entree; one dish OF roast
or boiled; one plate of vegetables and French
family bread, as much as desired. Tea,
coffee or milk can be taken by those who do
not use wine. No. 2-FOur eggs, 10 cents:
six eggs, 10 cents; Eastern oysters, Is
cents; two dozen California oysters is:
coffee and cake, cents; coffee and rolls,
5 cents; coffee with cake and half pie, 10
cents; all kinds of meat at similar rates.
No. 3-Ten Eastern oysters, 25 cents; three
eggs 10 cents: six eggs, 20 cents; Coffee
cakes and half pie 10 cents;
coffee and cake. 5 cents; coffee
and rolls, 5 cents. No. Ham and
two eggs, 10 cents; two eggs on pork chops,
10 cents; two eggs on mutton steak, 10
cents; two eggs with sausage, 10 cents; two
eggs ON bass or sole, 10 cents; four eggs, 10
cents; six eggs, Is cents. ln2@this bill of
fare twenty flour other dishes are men
toned. ranging from 5 cents up to 35 cents.
The three highest dishes are: Porterhouse
steak, 35 cents: sirloin steak. 25 cents.
Fourteen dishes are rated at cents, seven
at 10 cents and at Is cents.
1t menus las the professional cooks
and caterers call them) like this can be fur
nished as eheaply in any other city of the
United States we would like to know
where. 1t will be noticed that the bills of
fare differ at each restaurant, which af-
fords hungry man choice as to where he
shall take his meals.
The man of Strengthened means and fru-
gal habits can satisfy his appetite abund-
antly in San Francisco for 20 or 25 cents,
or even less, per day. We would like this
fact to be noted by people of the East who
contemplate visit to San Francisco. The
terms of most lodging houses will be found
moderate in proportion to meals.
