OueerFreaks of Cold Type.

From the Artist Printer, by Thin Space.
Errors seem bound to creep into the
composItor's work. Many are COM
monplace, and would hardly attract
notice or cause a passing remark,
while others are so ludlcrous as to
cause the face of the most sedate
printer to broaden into o smile and
to those OF a less lugubriOus turn of
mind occasion is furnished for many
a hearty laugh, as they are told and
retold among the members of the
craft. Some are printed i'll the cur
rent typographical journals and eager
ly devoured by many typos, and
many OF the best are related but once
or twice, then, as new ones occur
worth men ton, the old are forgotten.
A few that have come under the no.
tice of the writer or have been related
to him are jOtted down:
There was at one time in New York
City a compositOr commonly known
as "Holy DOgen," strange name,
but not so strange when it is known
how he came by it. In writing up
an account of a political meeting the
reporter said it was "simIy attended
uOI udll uoLSI OSlHS BIOSOlb.
The artist was either asleep or tired
for the types read: The meeting
was sIimly attended, not holy dOgeu
being present
The society editors copy was in.
Slug SO had sub at work who was
not familiar with the manuscript.
The take" which this unfortunate
compositor got from the hook was de-
scriptive of the belle of a certain ball
1t said "her pretty feet were covered
with shoes like fairy boots, " but when
the reader scanned the proof it read:
"Her dirty feet were covered with
shoes like ferry boats"
The average physicians handwrit-
ing is difficult to deClpher. This aC-
counts for the following error which
was made by a cOmp0sitOr working
OIL a medical journal. The author in
tended that part of a certain sentence
should read: THE surest way to
clinical success" but it was made to
appear: "The sunset rays to dismal
Sinners
He was "puIling out" on an Obit-
uary notice. The editor IN speaking
of the religious standing of the de-
ceased, took occasion to say that
"others would be LETT to bear the bur-
dens of the church.N When the
reader got hold Of the proof it read:
land others will be lelJ to bar the
windows of the church.n

The London correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: "The
Queens sympathy for the mothers OF
the twenty-six poor children suffoca-
ted at the fire of Forest Gate Asylum,
and her insistance that her condol-
ences should be conveyed in person
by the local government inspectors to
the nearest surviving relatives OF each
child, show her majesty's well-known
kindness of heart where suffering is
concerned. Another instance of this
is afforded by the case of Sir Henry
Daily and his wife, who were lying i'll
near Osborne, the household and fam
lily being in temporary charge of a
daughter in her teens. The Queen,
knowing Sir Henry, called almost
daily, invited the little housekeeper
to dine with her, promised to make
her a maid of honor, and stood god
mother to Lady Days newborn
child. Actions like these endear the
sovereign to her subjects.
