HOW SHEET MUSIC IS PRINTED.

A Process of Which the Public Knows Very
Little-Every Page Printed by Hand.
If the public will be as much surprised
to learn how sheet music is printed as
was the writer, this article will be read
with interest. A walk through the
printing rooms of the largest music pub
fishing house in Boston, under the tutel-
age of its courteous foreman, is full of
interesting instruction.
1t was into one of the many "lofts" in
which the establishment abounds that
the reporter was taken. One door was
filled with veritable lacework of long
poles, placed horizontally, which were
loaded out of sight with sheet music
hung upon them to dry. The whole
place had the air of washing day at
home, and the reporter involuntarily
glanced around if perchance he might
get glance Of cold dinner lying about.
GAS fast as the sheets are printed we
hang them here over night" said the
foreman, "and then place them between
pasteboards and press them fiat. Then
they are ready for market. Come up
into the press rooms"
The press rooms are very unlike their
newspaper prototypes. Not sound
loud enough to interfere with converse
ton is heard in them, for sheet music is
printed all by hand.

A Singular Conm,,nitx.

The valley of Gressoney is one of the
most beautiful localities in the Italian
Alps. 1t also has curious history. In
the Eleventh century it was colonized by
German soldiers, to whom it had been
given by King Otto in recognition of
their valiant services to him. The de-
scendants of these soldiers, though in a
strange land, have stuck fast to their
German traditions. They still speak
German and keep up the closest connec-
ton with Germany, which they consider
their fatherland. Their daughters are
educated in the best German schools and
seminaries. When the young women
come home from the big cities of the
north, however, they are compelled by
their parents to lay aside their fine Ber-
lin and Frankfort garments to don the
curious customs Of their forefathers, and
to learn to bake, and scrub, and wash as
their mothers and grandmothers did be-
fore them. The cleanliness of the
"Gressonari" has made them famous
throughout Italy. 1t is proverb that
their barns are cleaner than other peo-
ple's houses. German is spoken in the
family, French in the churches, and
Italian in the schools. Consequently all
the Grcssonari know at least three Ian
guages.-New York Sun.

Terrible Asian Heat,

The horror of the heat is unknown to
us, or indeed to any part of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper-
ately trying sometimes. But to the ma
tive of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of
the Persian gulf, tho sun of Greece is but
trifle. The utter helplessness of man
under this infliction adds horror to his
sufferings.
There is no hope and no resource when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
is passed in Central Asia. "The inhabi-
tants," VIC learn, "are shutting them
selves up to escape"-probably closing
all the apertures of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not a touch of
experience. Houses of good class are
solidly constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and corridors, but
the mass of the people inhabit big holes,
rooted over, with no kind of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits, and the damage is not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum-
mer. Fancy thousands of Mongols in
these dens, pursuing their filthy habits in
scmi-darllness, suffering the awful tor
ment of heat, children wailing, adults
raving, always in want of water and gen.
orally of food, in an atmosphere beyond
conceiving.-London Standard.

Trial by Jury in Russia.

The conservative press in Russia never
looked favorably upon the system of
jury trials, and always urged its aboli-
ton. The fact that political offenses
were not tried by juries was constantly
used as an argument against the entire
system. And the new minister of JUS
tice in Russia, Mr.. Manassein. in obedi-
ence to their appeals, has just procured
the enactment Of new law taking out
of the hands of juries large number of
important criminal cases. But this only
strengthened the hands of the conserva-
tives and encouraged them to demand
further action in the same direction. On
the other hand the liberal press is no less
dissatisfied with the proceeding, and per-
fectly agrees with the conservatives that
If the trial by jury is good at all no ex-
ceptions whatever are either just or ra-
tional, and that if it is bad for some
things it is bad for all. There, however,
the agreement ends. Whereas the con-
servatives hope to succeed in abolishing
the jury trials in Russia, the liberals de-
sire to obtain for it full recognition

Persian Barher shops.


Long ago a royal decree compelled
BARRIERS and hairdressers to hang at their
door white basin, so as to distinguish
them from surgeons, who sheltered
themselves behind a copper basin, and
these basins are still used for sign pur-
poses.
They are of oval shape, and small
piece is Clipped out at one end. This is
intended to show that the basin will fit
the neck under the chin.
But nowadays there are no such basins
inside French BARRIERS shops. You must
wash the lather off your own face when
Figaro has finished shaving and cutting
you. Then, if you want your hair
dressed, you get back into the chair
and such uncomfortable chairs as they
are too-again, and the fellow recon-
nlences.
There are some hairdressers who are
not BARRIERS, but all BARRIERS are hair
dressers, and most of them are also wig
makers. They put some very queer
signs over their shop doors sometimes.
There is one old man up by the College
of France who has an oil painting out
side his premises which represents Absa-
lom hanging by his hair to large tree
while his horse is galloping away in the
distance, and below the following words
arc written: "If he had worn one of our
wigs this misfortune would not have
happened him."
A barber of my neighborhood has q
sign which reads: "Shaving done here
today for money and tomorrow for moth
ing" This tomorrow" that never
comes, and which the evening before is
SD often promised, is it not the most bit
ter sarcasm of all the illusions of life
that we are acquainted with?-Cor. New
Orleans Picayune.

A Noted Elephant.

The Ceylon papers announce the death
of an elephant named Sella, which had
served the public works department for
over slxty-five years. Originally Sella
belonged to the last of the kings of Handy,
Sri Wickrema Raja Singha, and was one
of about 100 elephants which passed to
the British government in 1916, when the
Kandyan dynasty was overthrown and
the whole island passed under British
rule. It was supposed at that time
that Sella was Is years of age, but
this was uncertain. In 1880 it was de-
cided that all the elephants belonging to
the public works department should be
sold, and Sella fell to well known resi-
dent of Colombo, Mr.. Dc Soysa. The
animal aided in several keddah opera
tions for the capture and tanning of wild
elephants, but became totally blind about
threeyears ago. He continued, however,
to work at the plow until within short
time of his death. After death the t,lsks
were removed and measured five feet in
length. Sella himself was feet high.

Hung 1t I'm.

An awkward young countryman, from
Vermont, some years ago entered Bos-
ton warehouse and asked for employ
ment. Hecould do any kind of "chores," !"
he said, and boasted of his strength.
"Stout as you are," said one of the
clerks, "I'll give you ten dollars if you
will carry that bag of salt twice across
the store and never lay it down."
The Vermonter stood for moment,
thoughtfully eying the bag, and then
shouldered it easily enough, carried it
twice backward and forward, walked up
to a rope with hook at its end, which
hung through scuttle, and hung the
bag on the hook.
"Mister," said he, 81 guess I'll trouble
you for that air ten. I didn't lay it
down. hung it up!''
The clerk rather unwillingly Joined in
the laugh which followed, and handed
over the ten dollars.
"That's better than chopping logs"
the young man remarked, as he deposited
the money in his wallet.-Youth's Com
panion.
