AN OLD PRINTING PRESS.

said to Ante-Date History and Is Found in
the State of Georgia.
The oldest printing press in America
is in the State of Georgia. "The date
OF its birth is lost in antiquity, -
says the Atlanta Constitution, "but
there has never been any doubt in the
minds of the editors who have manipu-
lated it that it was old enough to know
better. 1t is cross between the hand
press invented by Washington and a
neglected corn shelter, and is curi.
ously inscribed with the desperate
hieroglyphics of ancient and long suf.
fering editors. Its joints creaked, as
with rheumstism, and when the paper
went to press it had way of falling
down and SO mixing up the railroad
schedules that the trains never knew
what time to leave. Every blacksmith
in the county has exhausted his skill
upon it, and it has been patched and
prayed over until it is mere remnant
OF its former self. When lSher nIan
passed through Georgia to the sea his
men used portions of it for battering
rams, but when he started to print n
few official orders ON it, it proved its
loyalty to a lost cause by falling down
and distributing the type all over the
room. 1t has been burned out six
times, and in the earthquake of 1885
1t was dismembered and thrown on the
railroad track, where it wrecked the
cannon ball train five minutes after
ward. The sheriff has levied on it
twenty times, only to pay the editor
to take it back, and from the perch it
used to occupy in the lowlands of Lee
1t overlooked the graves of fourteen
editors, and, old and f. ling as il is, it
is destined to go rumbling down the
corridors of time as long as an editor
needs groceries.

Not so Green.

The other day Detroit youth who
had come home from college for vaca.
ton took his younger sister out to see a
baseball game. She is quiet demure
little lass, with blue eyes and timid
manner, and she slipped in her seat in
the grandstand as staidily as IL she
were entering the family pew at church.
AS the game progressed he kindly
undertook to explain to her something
about the points so she would under.
stand at least a little about it.
Now the young man is about to
throw the ball, he said. "He Is called
the pitcher. The man with the stick
In his hand is the batter. He will try
to hit the ball and If he does he will
run to that little bag, which is called o
base"
Theyoung mans sister seemed to be
quite interesed, and listened atten tively
to his explanations.
Presently somebody hit out two
bagger that went clear through The
shortstop, aud lit out for first like Q
wild turkey.
The young man began to explain.
Now" he said, "if the fielder
throws the ball to the man on the baf
before"
The young man ceased suddenly.
His sister had sprung upon the bench
grabbed his hat, and thrown 1t int,
the crowd, and shriekod at the top o.
her voice:
yah, yah, yahl Wasn't that no
tamaief SIS ss-ss sz.zz.zzz-get tina

daley cutter! Get him basket Whoo

"Sit down, sis, /" said the young man
In slightly aggrieved tone. "Why
didn't you tell me you were rooter.

many instances Of genuine heroism
After dealing with case after case of
this kind the conclusion is forced that,
in spite of the example of patience and
self sacrifice of tho wife her submission
works positive harm socially. The
need undoubtedly is for the introduc-
tion OF stronger social force, through
the arm of the law, acting iudepend-
emily of the wife, whereby the hus.
band may be compelled to support his
family or go to Jail.
The law at present is operative only
through the initiative of the wife-that
is, the wife must make complaint to
the overseer of the poor and must testi-
fy in court. This practically nullifies
the law, for, in nine cases out of ten,
circumstances make it almost certain
that the wife either will not complain
or will withdraw the complaint when
once she has made it, She has learned
the lesson of submission from long ex.
perience. She has a we'll grounded fear
of the violence to herself at the hands
of her husband that will follow if she
persists in prosecuting the case.

Ont Of the Busy World.

One of the rarest occurrences of
which the State Department has op.
portunity to take cognizance in COM
mon with the rest of the world is the
dispatch of a mail to Pitcairn Island,
the isolated community in the South
Pacific which depends upon the casual
visit of some sailing vessel for it's ex-
ceedingly infrequent communication
with the rest of the globe, says the
Washington Star. Sometimes this hap.
pens once year, but there is no regu.
larity about it. The last news of the
island came six months ago, when an
official of New South Wales formally
annexed the diminutive territory to
the British crown. Recently the State
Department has been informed that
any letters addressed to the island will
be forwarded IL they reach Her British
Majesty 8 consul at Honolulu not later
than September 30. 1t is probable
that another mail may not leave for
Pitcairn Island in year, and there is
a probability that there will not be a
mail for two or three years.
