PLENTY OF WORK.

Even should its adoption become posi-
Bile there will still be plenty of work for
compositors. Advertisements and market
reports, headlines, and tables of every de-
scription will still be required TO be set up
by hand. The telephone has not replaced
the telegraph operator, nor has the phono..
graph or any other mechanical device OF
taking notes driven the stenographer to the
wall. II is Just possible that the introduce
ton of successful type-setting machine
would increase rather than diminish the
demand for compositors.
In the other branches of the trade the
effect should be much the same. The idea IS
incorrect that any one not having atechnl-
cal knowledge of the printers art can
operate the type-setting machine; 80 that
if the change should come all the compost

the new order of things is to learn the key

of the letters in the case before. TX
the work can be done cheaper, more books
will be published. and people who have
never patronized the printer before will De
forced TO do so in order to comply with the
new order of things. 1t would not be sur

LACK OF BREEDING.

The size of this climax can only be ap-
preciated by those who knew Miss Ander-
son personally in the first years OF her
career. Reans have been written to per;
sude the public that her extraction and
breeding were gentle. but the fact remains
that ten years ago, and even less. she knew
next to nothing about the manners and
habits of people with even ordinary social
advantages. Her first photographs witness
this without any other proof. They show
the same beautiful face that has since
made her fortune. but in posture. express

Gates to many minds. q revolution IN the
production Of books and newspapers. al
most as great as that made by the sewing
machine in the production OF clothing.
MANY printers there are who fear that the
art of typography will be entirely swept
away and that in place OF human-settng
machines there will be instruments That
will do double the work of any man at,
perhaps, one third of the cost.
Practical printers, those who regard
Typography as an art, are not enthusiastic
over the work Of the machines. While 1t
is probably true that several OF the big
dailies in the country intend TO give the
machines q trial in the near future. it is
equally q fact that one great newspaper IN
New York has decided against them. The
adoption of the machine means the sacri-
fce of the typographical appearance
of the paper. None of the ma
chimes can set up more than
one kind of type and this is in itself great
drawback. All the big dailies in this city
use three, four, and some OF them more
kinds of type in printing the news.

while this is not necessarily impera-

But il is not alone in these respects that
the machine falls below the work of the
average compositor.

have not even these merits as to speed and

NEXT BEST TO PARIS. If You Ca mt Go to Paris Go to Brus- sells and Be Content.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.1

From the Pittsburg Dispatchl
 Paris is, of course, the queen of conti- mental cities. It is the Mecca, the para disc, the eden par excellence. Everybody but fool wants to go to Paris But eve rybody can't get there. To those unfa- vored individuals let me say Brussels will do just as we'll. Brussels is ''little Par is," not half so expensive and quite as en- joyable on small scale. If you have the least imagination, you have only to walk around Brussels and say to yourself, "I am in Paris" and-presto-you are in Paris. You look at the same white houses, the same gilded dome, the same boulevards, the same avenues of spreading trees, the same smooth, clean streets, the same su- perb shops and cafes, all white and gold and mirrored, and last but not least the from the crown of their jaunty Parisian hats down to the points of their dainty high heeled Parisian boots.
 Besides all these hints of Paris, you have the same language. Everybody speaks the French tongue, and the same glum, self important ponderous coach man, who sits upon his box seat as a king sits upon his tnrone-calm, unruffled, un- conscious. He knows you for foreigner before you realize the fact yourself, and you might stand and talk your best board ing school French to him until doomsday and he would still sit there and glare at YOU and swear he didn't understand his own tongue until he was black in the face if such red face could turn black out ct the hApgman's aooas.

How Judge Park Gets His Eols.
 Norwich Bulletin

About noon, Wednesday, handsome dog of the Newfoundland variety, as he passed the fish market of Captain Samuel Comstock on Central wharf, seized two and-one-half-pound package of dried cells and went his way. A man was sent out to recover the cells, but he did not dare to meddle with the dog, who took iesurely gait for Laurel Hill. The animal was fol lowed to the residence of Judge Park, where he laid the cells down in the yard. The judge, who is confined to the house by a slight indisposition, was unable to cross examine the dog on the subject of the theft, of which the judge had been notified, but he recognized the justice of the claim O.. Captain Comstock and paid for the cells.
 Captain Comstock missed bunch of cells few evenings ago and he mistrusts that this same dog helped himself to them unnotice, hence the second exploit. When the dog realizes that his relation to the judiciary of the state of Connecticut is too close for him to indulge in such exploits, he will no longer stoop to such petty pill fering.

The MonotOny of Mere Money-Get-
 ting.


 There is probably no good American citizen of regular occupation (and good citizens, almost to manare regularly oc- cupieD who has not at some moment ob served and deplored the fact that his life, without strenuous effort to the contrary, is but mere passing and requesting over the same familiar ground. The busy man, whether lawyer or merchant, clerk or cash fer, soon learns the shortest way from his door to his business, and the chances are many to one that he will always go and come by it. Day by day his feet are slow ly wearing away the pavement in ruts scarcely wider than those of the long-si- lent chariot wheels in Pompeii; were he stricken with sudden blindness he could follow that hurried course In the dark; and as the landmarks along it are so hack neyed that he has ceased to regard them, he might as well be blind to every non-ob structive thing. Study his face, and you will find that he is absorbed in his task, whatever it may be. Question him about any matter that does not immediately con- cern that private interest, and he will plead in excuse for his ignorance, often with a sigh of regret, that he has no time for side-issues
 Now, in nine cases out of ten, this is not strictly true, though he has made the statement so often that he really believes it, and under oath in the witness box would solemnly state it again. He does not know what is the matter with him, but you can take your oath, if need be, that the patient old scape-goat of the scythe and hour-glass is less to blame for it than himself. He has simply fallen victim to the money getting habit-a vice like opium eating or any other

 In the latter part of 1885 large amount of snow fell quite early and remained upon the ground all through the winter There had been an abundant crop of apples, and large quantities of them were upon the ground, ungathered when the snow came. The covering of snow preserved them-it was one of the coldest winters of the cen- tury-and they were fresh and nice when first uncovered in the spring; but they de- cayed very rapidly when exposed to the sun and air.

 The latter part of the winter of 1842-3 was noted for deep snows, which, when settled, covered most of the fences and was quite solid. On the, first Monday of April party of us walked across the lots, on tho snow, to the place of voting, dis tance of four miles. That spring there was late and long and high flood in the Connecticut.
 In January, 1857, besides deep snow, tho weather was intensely cold for period of three weeks. On the morning of the 24th the mercury marked 36 degrees below zero in Canton Center, and was the same in East Weatogue. It was the coldest weather of the century, surpassing that of 1835-6. The Sunday previous-the 18th the mark was 23 degrees below zero, and it didn't get up to zero, all day; bowling snow-storm set in at night, that rocked the steeples all over Connecticut. After that month of January ended, February brought very mild weather-over 60 de- grees, with thaws and floods.
