THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
It Was Established In China In the Eighth
Century,

It Was Established In China In the Eighth
Century.
The Oldest newspaper In the world is
the Tsing-Pao, Or Picking News, founded
in the year no A. D. Until quite late
ly it was generally supposed that the
Kin Pan, a Chinese journal published
In Picking for the last thousand years,
was the Oldest newspaper in the world.
In very able work recently published,
however, Imbault Huart, the French
consul at Canton, shows that this high
honor belongs to the Tsing-Pao, which
has been published continuously since
the year no and is even said to have
been founded some 200 years before
that date, or early in the sixth century,
800 years before newspaper was known
in Europe.
The Using now appears as book
Of "a pages, octave size, tied in yell
low cover by two knots of rice paper
Each page has seven columns, and each
column has seven characters, or letters
which read from top to bottom. The
types are made of willow wood. This
is the edition de luxe" officially recog-
nized by the emperor, and the price of
which is about "a cents month. There
is also popular edition, got up rough
ly on poor paper and printed, or rather
daubed, from plate of engraved wax.
This costs 16 cents per month and is
issued an hour before the other.
1t is the official journal of the gov
ernment-the Times of China 1t
gives all the details concerning the per-
son Of the emperor, his movements, his
maladies, his remedies, the imperial
DEGREES and the reports of the ministers,
in the printing Of which every error is
punished with death.
1t announces to all the provinces the
date which has been fixed by the en-
peror for the people to change their
summer hats for winter ones, which
they are expected to do as one man.
This journal is easy to read, for it ap-
pears in an English translation in
Shanghai.
After the Tsing-Pao the most impor-
tant paper in China is of modern date
the Chin-Pao, or Shanghai News,
founded in 1872 1t has circulation of
some 10, 900 copies, and at the close of
the Franco Chinese war Lii Hung Chang
made use of it-an innovation till then
unknown-to influence public opinion
and demonstrate by history the rights
of the Chinese over Anam.
Chinese newspapers are usually print
ed on yellow paper, which is changed to
blue in case of mourning and red on
gala days. One paper has three editions
each day-on yellow paper in the morn
ing, gray at noon and white at night
so that the sellers cannot substitute one
edition for another in serving their Gus
toners. Another journal has title
which signifies "the reproduction of
what it is necessary to know, all given
on couple of pages, octave size. They
readily attempt to Zen Chinese" foreign
words, as, for instance, the word "tele-
phone" is made to read toll foung."
The Chinese press, like many of their
other institutions, has remained station
AIRY for 1000 years, but is now begin
ming to wake up and modernize itself.

official duties helped to distract her
mind. An amusing assault case, in
which the occupants of balloon and d
flying machine had come to blows in the
air, even caused Baby to forget her fam
lily troubles for brief space.
The next case in the sheet was a
charge of two minors being at large
without any visible means of support
Baby had barely glanced at the list aud
when her parents entered the dock i'll
the custody of two policewomen she was
completely paralyzed for the moment
with mingled establishment and conster-
nation.
Then when she had recovered herself
dignity and etiquette were alike forgot
ten. She scrambled down from the
bench, knocked over couple of forms
full of spectators in her eagerness and
rushed into the dock.
My poor little parents'' she cried,
clasping the frightened woman and man
alternately in her arms. 81 thought you
were lost Oh, how glad am to have
found you again.
Many Of those present in court shed
tears at this touching scene. The Cor
fields were, indeed, objects of pity.
They had been out all night in the cold
and rain, having been ultimately dis
covered in suburban ditch, into which
they had crept for shelter and then
cried themselves to sleep.
Of course Baby gave them good
scolding on account of the escapade
when she got home and dismissed the
nursery tutor. But she was very thank.
full to have got them back safely and
made up her mind that they should be
better looked after in future.
In spite of all her care, however, she
soon found herself an orphan. Papa was
choked at parents kindergarten party
through swallowing sweetmeat whole,
while Mrs. Corfield, few weeks later,
succumbed to a sudden attack of Group.
Baby, warned by her parents fate,
resolved to remain spinster. She thus
selfshly retained her ripened faculties
for herself instead Of aiding the world g
progress by allowing the law of heredity
its natural operation of instantaneously
transmitting their developed maturity
to a succeeding generation. London

TALL BUILDINGS.
The skyscraper Considered as a Device
For Saving Labor.

The Slzyscraper Considered as a Device
For Saving Labor.
In the tall building it is emphatically
"a condition, not theory" that con-
fronts us. The many stored Office build
ing is a necessary product of certain
economic factors which have operated in
spite Of the architects, and more intense
~ in the United States than elsewhere.
This is what has made it SO peculiarly
an American product. OF these econom-
ic factors the cost of land, SO common
ly alleged as the controlling one, has
really been the least important. Land
in parts of Paris and London is as cost
ly as in New York and Chicago, but the
10 story Office building has never come
into vogue there, while, on the other
hand. buildings of 10 or IL stories are
not uncommon in American cities of the
second and third rank, where land is
relatively cheap The causa causans of
the skyscraping monstrosity is to be
sought in the drive and hurry of Amer
lean business life, and in the accom-
panying American propensity to save
time and labor. The skyscraper is a
huge labor saving and time saving de-
vice.
Each building is almost a complete
city, often comprising within it's walls
banks and insurance offices, postoffice
and telegraph office, business exchanges,
restaurants, clubrooms and shops. The
business man can provide himself with
clothes, shoes, cigars, stationery and
baths; receive and dispatch his mail and
his kilograms; speculate on change,
consult his lawyer and his architect in
their offices and transact his own bust
ness-all without leaving the building
in which his Office is located. The ex-
press elevator which shoots him up to
the sixteenth story or drops him with
breathless speed to the basement is a
product Of this same American haste
and economy, and without the elevator
the tall Office building would be an i'm
possibility. 1t is the triumphant sue
cess of the skyscraper as time saving
invention which has made it SO con-
spicuous and insistent an element in our
American architecture. = Engineering

Cinralese Children.

The Cingalese children are said to
be more beautiful than those of any
other race on the four continents, and
some of the little girls, even of the very
lowest caste, are irresistibly pretty as
they run before you in the streets to
beg. They cry out in the sweetest and
most plaintive of voices, touching the
stomach to signify hunger in a way that
would be awkward and vulgar in any
other being, but in them it is so win
some that before you know it you sacri
fee a rupee to the bad cause of eneour-
aging them in begging-knowing quite
we'll that all they want is a good oppor
tunity to pick your pocket for more

A boundless sea and endless sky,
The long white billow shoreward flung,
And you and Just you and l.
When life and love and sweet hope were

Not sail in sight, not living thing
Astir nor near us-the new moon hung
A silver hammock where elves might swing
When you and 1 and the world were young
Was it ages gone, or but yesternight2
We're we the first whose warm lips chung,
The first who met for loves dear delight
When the sad old earth was glad and youngf

With starry shells from the soft foam swung,
And you and I-but we made the world
When love and hope and sweet life were

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And day and night are the same as one.
The year grows green, and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all, when all is done?
Grains of somber or shining sand,
Gliding into and out of the hand
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And hundred ships are the same as one,
And backward and forward blows the breeze,
And what is it all, when all is doneP
A tide with never a shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night.
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream,
And hundred streams are the same as one,
And the maiden dreameth her lovelit dream,
And what is it all, when all is doneY
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.
