Brewer says the first book printed in
the German language was the "Edel-
stein" or precious Stone" in 1861, by
Ulrich Boner. Seven years before this,
however, in 1454, Gutenberg and Faust
printed in Latin an indulgence issued
by Pope Nicholas V. to Paulinus Chappe,
an ambassador to the king of Cyprus.
There is much conflict among the au-
thorities as to the dates of the earlier
copies of the Faust and Gutenberg
books, and in many cases the exact
time of their issuance is conjectural.

Largest Poultry Farm.

Farm Poultry says that Isaac Wilbur,
of Little Compton, R. l., has the largest
poultry farm in the world. He ships
from 10000 to 10000 dozen of eggs a
year. He keeps his fowls on the colony
plan, housing about 40 in a house eight
by ten or eight by twelve feet in size,
these houses being about $50 feet apart,
set out in long rows over the gently
sloping fields. He has 100 of these
houses scattered over three or four
fields. The food is loaded into low
wagon, which is driven about to each
house in turn, the attendant feeding
as he goes. At the afternoon feeding
the eggs are collected. The fowls are
fed twice day. The morning food is
a mash of cooked vegetables and mixed
meals; this mash is made up the after
noon of the day before. The afternoon
feed is whole corn the year round.

PAPER BAGS AND HARD TIMES.
One Industry That Thrives on Condi-
lions That Wreck others.


The manufacture of paper bags is an
industry which depends largely on its
prosperity to a prevailing condition of
hard times. The more stringent the
financial pressure becomes, the more
paper bags are used, says the Chicago
Chronicle. In the grocery stores GUS
toners viii come in who, instead of
ordering a bushel of potatoes, will or
der a quart of potatoes and carry them
home in paper bag. Groceries of all
kinds are purchased in small quantities,
and the paper bag is used almost ex-
clusively to do up, not only groceries,
but fruit, vegetables and candies. A
customer in hard times will drop in
and buy half pound of tea. In few
days he will come in again and buy
another half pound. In good times he
would have bought couple of pounds,
and one bag would have wrapped it up.
1t is so with all kinds of groceries and
everything purchasable for which pa
per bags can be used, and the only real
complaint which will be found coming
from the paper bag manufacturers will
be on the occasion of prosperous times
coming on us again. The paper bag
mills are doing thriving business now,
and until the growing evidences of
prosperity eliminate in a general re-
sumption of business activity through
out the country, they will not lack for
constant and large demand for their
goods But when the mechanic begins
to buy potatoes by the bushel, apples
by the peck, coffee by five-pound pack
ages and -four by the barrel, then the
paper bag will hide its diminished head
and prosperity be with us once more,

JULES vERNE'S MANNERS.
The Great Writer Is Simple, Quiet and
Modest.


If, meeting him without knowing
who he was, had been asked to divine
his profession, I would have said he
was.a retired army general or profess
sor of physics and mathematics or a
cabinet officer-never an artist, says a
writer in the Chautauquan of Jules
Verne. He does not show the burden of
his almost so years; he has somewhat
of Verdi's build, with serious, kindly
face, no artist-like vivacity in look or
word, very simple manners, the i'm
print of great sincerity in every fleet
ing manifestation of feeling and
thought, the language, the bearing, the
manner of dress of a man who con-
siders appearances of absolutely no ac-
count. Ny first sensation after the
pleasure of seeing him was one of stupe-
faction. Apart from the friendly look
and the affable demeanor could rec
ognize nothing in common with the
Verne who stood before me and the one
that had a place in my imagination.
My wonder even increased when, in
duced to speak about his works, he
spoke of them with an distracted air,
as he would have done of some one else's
writings, or rather of things in which
entered no merit of his-as he would
have spoken of collection of engrav-
ings or coins he had acquired, and with
which he occupied himself more from
the necessity of doing something than
from any passion for the art.

HIS SWEET INNOCENCE.
The Girls Didn't Know That He Was
m Old-Timer.

The Girls Didn't Know That He Was
an Old-Timer.
A young man leaned up against the
counter of a branch telegraph Office
where two pretty young ladies are en-
ployed as telegraPhers, says an ex-
change. He had been chatting with
them for about an hour, but had forgot
ten to say that at one period of his life
he himself had been an operator. Dur
ing a lull in the conversation one of the
young ladies' Opened" her key and said
to the other:
what do you think of his nibs at
the counter?"
Don't think much of him." was the
reply. "Why?"
"Oh, he makes me tired-he talks like
a parrot"
HE makes me tired, too-wish he
would sneak"
The young man broke in at this juno
ture and said: Ladies'. thank you
for the compliments you have bestowed
upon me, and as you are tired of my
company I'll sneak"
The numerous colors of the rainbow
would not be sufficient to describe the
changes that took place in the young la
dies faces. There is a moral attached
to this tale, and young ladies in branch
offices and elsewhere would do well to
take heed

THE MAYOR IN JAIL.
How the Executive of New York Came
to Be Sent I'D.

How the Executive of New York Came
to Be Sent I'D.
Judge NJ. May, of this city, was once
instrumental in sending William L.
Strong, now mayor of New York city,
to the county Jail for six weeks, says the
Mansfield CO., News. At that time
Manuel May wasn't judge, and Strong,
who is now known all over the country
by reason of the figure he has cut in
New York politics, was not mayor of
New York. Fhe judge, when ques-
toned in regard to the matter, readily
gave the incident as he remembered it:
1T was 80 years ago, and 1 was 4
notary public in those days, was di-
rected to take some dispositions in 4
case in which there was an alleged
fraud in regard TO some financial mat
ters. Strong refused to answer some
questions, as he, think, had received
the information on certain points in
confidence. He was obstinate, and ex
ercised my prerogative and sent him to
jail. Strong moved in what was con-
sidered the elite of Mansfield society
in those days, and they stuck to him'
through his term of Imprisonment. The
town was about divided on the propo-
sition as to whether it was right to send
him to Jail. Strong had a real nice
time while he was in Jail. His friends
visited him every day and helped him
pass away the hours. Finally, after
Strong had been locked up for six
weeks, higher court concluded that
he had had enough and he was re-
leased"

TREE CHANGES ITS QUARTERS.
So Large 1t Took Three Weeks to
Move 1t Fifty Feet.

So Large 1t Took Three Weeks to
Move 1t Fifty Feet.
IA unusual feat in the transplanting
line was accomplished recently here,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. An elm
tree so feet high and with trunk IS
inches in diameter, with roots and all,
was moved 80 feet. The tree is the
property of Mrs. William Thaw, and
stood on the line of the Beechwood
boulevard, where it traversed Mrs.
Thaw's property at Fifth avenue near
Shady avenue.
Mrs. Thaw desired to save the tree,
and Contractor John Eichleay under
took to move it. A circular trench
was dug around the tree at a distance of
ten feet from the trunk. At depth
of six feet the worltmen eXcavated UNI
der the tree, bracing the earth above
with timbers. The mass of earth, 20
feet across and six feet deep, in which
were imbedded the tree and its roots,
was then boxed in with planks. Screws
were placed beneath, the whole mass
raised and placed on rollers and moved
so feet to where the great hole had been
prepared forits reception. 1t was low
cred into place, earth filled in as the
screws were removed, and it stood as
firm as if it had grown there.
The tree was maintained in an up
right position by the weight of earth
at the roots. The whole mass weighed
20 tons. The work occupied about
three weeks, and a number of photo
graphs of the tree while in transit were
taken.

MATCHMAKING IN JAPAN.
The Most SEiIIfuI Workers in the
World and the Poorest Paid.

"oEA
The competition of japanese matches
is already being severely felt in Europe
an markets, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. After supplying the home mar
ket, the japanese send 2,5O0,OO0,00O box
es to the rest of the world, mostly, how
ever, to Asia. This has destroyed the
European match trade in India, China
and Hong Kong. but so far it has not af-
fected the trade in America to any ex-
tent. That it will shortly do SO, how
ever, is. in the opinion of Robert p. Por-
ter, certain. Mr.. Porter says that dur
ing his stay in Japan on an official in
vestigation the output of at least one
large match concern at Osaka was Sc
cured by an American syndicate. Osaka
produced last year 100,O00,000 dozen
boxes of matches employing 1929 men
and 9,711 women to say nothing of the
innumerable children who earn few
sen per day in the work. One of the
largest factories employs $500 hands.
The sticks are cut by machinery. They
are sifted into little boxes by women
and collected and put in frames by tiny
waits of children, some of whom are
under ten. The sulphur and paraffine
are put on by hand presses and then
dried in the sun. The boxes are made
and the labels put on by little girls,
whose fingers are so nimble that the
human eye is incapable of following
their movements as the purple and yell
low boxes drop, more than one a second,
into the huge baskets at their sides.
Over ~ hours day these little crea-
lures labor for wages which range from
one cent to five cents of our money.
