What happy audacity of speech. what

flashes of insight, as the two cords go

charm and beauty To be thus tuned up
an octave above ones ordinary self, to

USED BY FRANKLIN.
An Old Press ON Exhibition Mt R0s-

An old time hand press on which
BENJAMIN Franklin is Said to hava
worked n season at Portsmouth. y Fl.
and which is perhaps the first printing
press in the country to have an iron bed
and platen, is now en- exhibition in Bos-
ton.
This press has been in Lowell about
sixty years. and :ir a''ou. -ortv S"s."
has been the pT,per.y of J. ]. Jidl.ins,
who is now seventy eisLt years OF age
He is known as the oldest printer in the
spindle city. When Mr.. Judkins was a
young man j. P. Norton came to Lowell
from Portsmouth, y. H., and brought
with him the old hand press. He
opened an Office on Central street, where
the press. although even at that time a
very old one, was in daily use.
"Mr. Norton was we'll on in years at
that time" said Mr.. Judkins to a Her
ald' reporter recently. LAS I remember
him. he must have been almost as old
at that time time as ! am now. He used
to take q particular pride in the old
press. and told me a number of times
that Franklin had worked on it one sea-
son at Portsmouth. He always said this
as if he knew it positively, and he was
such an old man hat he must have
lived pretty close to Franklin's time"
Mr.. Norton sold the press to Leonard
Brown. from whom Mr.. Judkfns bought
i. Forty years ago he worked off a
temperance hymn book on it, but has not
used it for a number of years, and final
ly decided to sell ii.
The press as it stands today shows
every evidence Of great age; When
few weeks ago two of the legs were
missing. and other parts of it had sue
cufnbed to the wear and tear of years,
Notwithstanding the fact that the press
is made of the strongest materials. The
upright parts of the frame are of solid
mahogany, seven by four inches in size,
and the cross pieces are of the same
wood. made equally strong. The lower
part. OF which the bed runs, is of oak,
while all the bolts in the machine are of
steel and hand made.
1t is somewhat different from the old
Franklin press now in the custody Of the
Bostonian Society. although the princt-
pie of construction is the same in both.
IT is known that Franklin worked on
that press at Newburyport about the
year 1923, and this fact seems to hear
out the claim Of Mr.. Norton, for New
huryport is not a verv great distance
from Portsmouth. N. H.. and Franklin
in his travels, probably visited a num-
Der of the towns in that section. b

CENTENARY 0F HOUSE-NUMBERING
Berlin Regain IL Inst a Hundred
Years AUo.

AT present there is some talk in Ber-
lin Of celebrating a somewhat singular
centenary-that of the origin of the
numbering Of houses. According to a
German contemporary this
lent method Of Indication was
quite unknown, even In London
or Paris, until a century ago. In 1895
the practice of numbering private
houses was begun in Berlin. The method
employed, however, was then exceed
ingly imperfect. The B~randenburg
Gate was taken as the point of DEPART
nre, n the numbers went OF success
siyely throughout the whole town, With
out any distinction as regards streets.
Even today the system Of num-
boring generally employed in the Ger
man capital leaves much to be desired,
as the umbers run c~onsecutively up
one side OF the street and back again on
the other Vienna claims the honor of
having ~inaugurated in 1903 the method
Of placing the odd numbers on one side
- the street n even alanbe on the
other.
