The Chinese Compositor.

From the Hong Kong telegraph
About once month we register blood
curdling vow on the accumulated files of
the Iete rdph to the effect that the very
next time our compositorial staff exasper-
ate US by their inconceivably idiotic style
of spelling we will appeal to our readers by
publishing the paper with all its errors on
It's head. We don't know that we shan't do
it some day, but in the meantime we will
make even," to some extent, by repro
ducing, hteratin, a portion of a familiar
recitation as set up" the other day by
natural idiot with queue and com
posing stick. The public will see what
we have to put up with in the
following: The Burial of Sir John
Moor.-Not drum was heard, not a fun
eral note as his corse to the ramparts. He
hirmed not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot DER the gram when our hero we
buried. We buried him doubly at dead of
night. The soda with our bayonets turning.
By thuggling moonhearns mirty light and
the lantern dimly burning. No melen
coffin enclosed his breast not in shut nor in
shorsed we would him. But he lay like a
warrior taking his not. With his martial
clock around him. Few and short were the
papers and we spoke not a word of sorrow.
But we steadfastly called on the fall that
was dead and we bitterly thought of the
morrer."

From Kate Fields Washington.
In view of the unusual dissemination of
newspapers the mass of the public remain
in startling condition OF ignorance with
respect to the manner in which they are
prepared. l remember once, a number of
years ago, sitting in railway car Just be-
hind two old Connecticut farmers who, to
pass the time on their journey, bought a
New York Tribune of the train boy. One
OF them slowly put on his spectacles and
prepared to read the news aloud to his COM
panion. 1t happened that the paper had
been folded wrong side out, SO that the
advertisements were uppermost, and the
venerable man was soon RECALLING his
companion with a long dissertation on
the merits Of DR.. Jabberway's Cele-
brated all-suff1cient specific, which cured
everything from chronic rheumatism to
water blsters He toiled patiently on, pro-
nouucing the Latin names after a system
exclusively his own, and devouring with
unconcealed wonder all the elaborate de-
scriplons Of the internal economy of
humankind, while his listening partner sat
with bent head and mouth agape, nodding
approval from time to time. When the last
line of the advertisement was finished the
reader laid down the sheet and the eyes of
the two friends met. Both were, for few
seconds to deeply impressed to speak
Then the one who had bean silent all the
while found voice enough to gasp:
"Wa'al, l vaow! That fellow Greeley
does know heap, naow, don't he2"

to Supply the Material for Pulque.
From the Kansas City Star.
Pulque is pronounced "pulky," and is
the national beer of Mexico. In the Mexi-
can cities pulque shops are as numerous as
were locusts in Egypt, the prohibition eagle
never having made its fatal swoop in that
languid land of the tropics. Some of these
shops. from a Mexican point of view, are
neat and clean; though it should be added
that Mexican point of view, when cleanli-
ness is considered, is not eminent.
Pulque Is the fresh juice or sap of the
century plant and is consumed the day it is
gathered, as it will become sour aud unpal-
atable within twenty-four hours The
method of the production is simple. The
long central shoot of the plant, which nat
urally would be projected upward from
twenty to forty feet, like some mighty club
Of Samson, Is cut out at its base in the very
inc option of its growth. This leaves a basin
i'll " hioh collects the sap which was meant
for the growth of the plant. A Mexican
who deals in the commodity has what is
called pulque orchard and this is large or
small, according t. his ambitions. Once a
day-the early morning hours-he dips the
pulque out of the vegetable basin into a
pig skin, wherein 1t is at once purveyed to
the tavern keeper to be sold. That is all
there is to the process and it is dispensed at

TYPOS Piay Ball,

There has been dispute for some
time between the typos on the Tribune
and Times as to their respective abili-
ties as ball tossers, and yesterday nine
young men from the mechanical de-
partment of each paper agreed to repair
to the Minneapolis Athletic park and
have it out in seven rounds. The
Times put in its crack batteries. Comfy
and Streator, and Moore and Dumphy,
while the Tribune men pitched Clyne
and Blunt. Clark doing the catching.
For the first three innings the game
Times men came to bat and became so
six runs and were iubilant in cOnse-
quence. In the fifth the BIethenites
started in with their eyes shut and
frantically pounded out eight runs
which effectually pied the Times form
and it took several sticksful of exertion
for them to get ahead of the hated
rivals, which they did in the seventh
inning. Elated with their success they
played another inning at the solicitation
of the willy adyersaries, who piled up
an even dozen runs. The Times men
said it didn't go and laid down their
copy. Two umpires assisted in giving
vast amount of glee to an apprecia-
tive audience. The errors were numer-
Gus and costly and the game en- the
whole was not according to Hoyle. A

The ''neWnesS' of the st. Paul team
won the game yesterday in the sixth
Inning and came as close as possible to
losing it in the seventh. Abbey opened
the sixth with hit, stole second, took
third on Cantillon'S ont and scored on a
passed ball which did not go fifteen
feet back of the plate. The foolhardi-
ness Of the act so paralyZed Traffiey
that he was urable TO get back to the
plate in time to touch the ambitious
youngSter. In the last half Of the sew
enth, with two men out and Brimble-
com on second and Phelan on first.
FuSSelbach drove grounder to Pint
lips. who was not over four feet from
third base, but instead of stepping back
TO his base aud catching the man forced
to third, he threw badly to first, allow
ing one runner to score and the others
to take a base each. In the first half of
the same inning Abbey fOOliShly tried
to take two bases on a ground drive to
snort field. His enthusiasm is com
mendable. but his Judgment is faulty.
He is Il Woodworking young player,
however, who bats we'll and fields in
fine form. The field work of both teams
was exceptionally good, bad throws by
Broughton aud Phillips being the only
errors. Murphy and Abbeymade some
great catches, Traffley caught and
threw splendidly, and Macullar put up
great game at short. Both teams
started out by pounding the ball hard.
After murphy had been retired, HAYES
lined out double and DAILY single.
Phillips hit a bounder to short, who
nipped Halves at the plate. Abbey and
Burks followed with pretty singles, the
result beng three earned runs. Burks
ran out of line between first and second
and was called out. Patton started in
for the visitors by driving the ball to
center for a sack. he took second OH a
passed ball, and stole third with fiendish
delight Brimblecom popped up fly
TO HaWeS. but Flanagan was awarded
a base for patience, and, after Halves
had taken Phelan's fly, Fusselbach
dropped the leather over beyond the
left field fence, three men coming
home. Both mines subsidized until the
fourth, when BurkS got the ball over
the right field fence. ST. Paul made an
other in the sixth and Des MOines one
in the seventh, after which neither
made anything. The pitching of Viau
and Clare was about even. the former
striking out four men to the latter's
five, and each giving five men bases on
balls. The next game in st. Paul will
be between the great rivals, the twins,
and will occur on Saturday. The score:
