Knowing DurrOs.

Numerous stories of tho tricks OF
burros ore related. The owner of one
burro train usually turned the animals
loose on Saturday night to shift for
themselves over Sunday. In the herd
were two grizzled patriarchs, deslg.
mated as Grandpa Burro" and
"Grandma Burro." The former was
a shrewd old fellow and Invariably
turned up missing on Monday morn
ing, while the rest Of the herd were
always on hand. Frequently "Grand-
pa" would be found hidden q mile
or more from camp behind somo big
rock or dense clump of bushes He
was loath to so to work. and know as
we'll MS human being what would be
expected of him on Monday morning.
"Grandma Burro" objected siren
uously to the tight buckllng of straps
around her body, in fastening on the
packs, and had u trick of sucking in
her breath and swelling her girth
while the strap was being drawn. AS
soon as this was accomplished she
would contract her body to its normal
size, leaving the strap comfortably
loose. "Grandma," however, was a
faithful servant. and toiled on uncom-
plainingly; but "Grandpa" knew o
thing or two about the duties belong
ing to him. His owner averred that
the grizzled veteran would carry three
hundred and fifty pounds, but that if
three hundred and ffty-one pounds
were imposed he would Immediately

The National Motto.

The circumstances attending the
adoption of the legend SEE Pluribus
Unum" as the motto of tho United
States has never been fully explaine ed
by the historians. 1t was probably
used on coins land some say upon
early Colonial Aags) long before it was
regularly recognized by the leading
officials of the new Republic. The
oldest coin bearing the motto in full
is colonial cent coined by New Jer-
scy \ the year 17S6. The same year
it appeared on n small medal recog-
nized among the collectors of coins as
'tthe Confederation. This medal was
National authority of the General
Government. 1t bore on one side
thirteen stars and blazing sun, the
latter surrounded by the word "Con-
fctleratio, which gives it the namo by
which it is known TO the numismatists.
The words in the headline, explains
st. Louis Republic, are undoubtedly
from Virgil's "Moretus," n poem de-
voted to q description of certain
salad. In the rhyming recipe he gives
instructions for making the proper
herbs and pounding tho same in
mortar until the vnrious colors blend
as one. Some one hos very appropri-
ately said that "the Colonies were
mixed IN the mortar OF tho Revolution
and came out rs ono Homogeneous
Nation.

Women as Printers.

Some interesting details regarding
the first appearance of women in the
printers art are given in the official
organ of the Partisan printers. The
general belief that women were for the
first time employed in typographical
work in 1851 by Rignous, printer in
Montbard, is declared to be erroneous.
q printing press worked exclusively by
women having been in regular Use in
Italy century and a half before that
date. The printing office was the con-
vent of st. james at Mount Ripoli,
and the women printers were sisters OF
the Dominican Order.
The sisters OF this convent bad prac-
ticed the art of copying and illumina-
ting manuscript since the thirteenth
century. When Gutenburg's invention
made its appearance the press spread
rapidly in Italy, and every town soon
possessed its printing Office. Florence
had one as early rs 1472. 1t would
have gone hard with the Dominican
sisters if their oonfessor, Dominica de
Pistoia and their procurator, Pietro di
Pisa, had not come to their aid by i'm
parting to them o knowledge OF the
new art. The sisters appear to have
devoted themselves to their typographr
icol labors with ardor and success, for
between 1476 and 1884 more than o
hundred works--s large number for
that period-issued from the convent
ual press. It is somewhat curious to
note that among these works there is
