Gathering Clippings from the Exchanges.
The latest development of the business
is really going back to first principles,
according to Mr.. Romeike's story of how
he first got the idea. He was a good deal
of a Bohemian, and at one time in Paris
it came to be a serious question with him
whether he should work or starve. Buy
ing a paper of an old woman at a street
stand one morning, anxious not to miss
the latest scandal of the b~oulevards, pend
ing starvation, he saw an artist whom he
knew take several papers from her and
pay her a franc apiece for them. He asked
her why the man paid her so much, and
was told that he had made an arrange
ment with her by which every morning
when she got her papers she looked them
over, and II there was anything in any of
them in reference to the matter in which
the artist was interested she marked IL
and laid those papers aside for him. He
paid her a franc for every paper in which
she had found anything he wanted.
1t struck the young Bohemian that If one
man was so anxious TO know what the
papers said, others would be so, too, and
thereafter he bought all the papers and
clipped from them everything in reference
to art and artists. He took the clippings
about among the studios where he had a
large acquaintance, arl peddled them for
what he could get. In time he added lit
erature as well as art to his field, and did
so well that overprosperity broke down
his health, and he had to go to the south
of France to recuperate. Thence he went
to London, and started to make a living
in the same way there. The idea devel-
oped, however, and he soon settled down
into a regular business, which was the
model for the two concerns in this city

A Russian orchestra was once rehears-
ing under the direction of Arban, a cele-
brated French musician. Among the in.
struments were six trombones, which
were playing in unison. Arban noticed
that something seemed to be wrong with
the trombone part, and made the six
trombones play it over again. Then he
observed that, where the trombones
should rave played do" every man of
them played ''sol."

A curious Oriental manner of determin-

the villagers, standing upon the steps of a

be heard being the limit of the village
