NEWSPAPER WITHOUT TYPE.

Petit Bleu a prominent newspaper in
Brussels has made new departure in
newspaper publishing. During recent
strike of compositors and pressmen the
Petit Bleu appeared without the help
OF a single compositor as a richly illus
trated l6 page paper.
The news had been "set up on a
typewriter. The single typewriter
sheets and pictures were pasted on a
large cardboard corresponding in pro-
portions To the size of the newspaper.
Then the whole was reduced by photog
raphy 20 the actual size, and from the
negative print was made on sensi-
tized sheet OF zinc. With the aid of
nitric acid the type and illustrations
were etched in, and the result was a
complete solid form ready for the
pFeSs,-
The Petit Bleu points with pride TO
the success of the new production. ana
predicts "A time when all men of the
composing room Will have To look for
other work, the papers being printed
entirely by the aid Of photography.

ROYAL HANDSHAKES RARER.

The members of reigning houses are
exceedingly chary I'm Offering their
hands by way OF greeting says NJ. \. T..
The Prince OF Wales displays the great
est freedom and liberality I'm shaking,
probably because he Is so thoroughly
lin a. steele, yet at levees and drawing
rooms he merely shakes hands with his
acuuaintances and responds only by n
slight inclination of the head To the
ubeisauces OF the majority OF those who
pass before him.
Continental soVcreigns are far less
catholic i'm this respect than Britains
heir apparent and not only the em-
pcrors Of Germany. Austria and Rus
sia, but even the petty sovereigns Of
central Europe never offer their hand
10 any OF their countrymen, except i'm
the expectation OF having II kissed.
The only sovereign who discourages
this token of subserviency is King
Humbcrt Of Italy. who. while he is most
reserved I'm Offering his hand TO the
great mobiles. statesmen and dignitaries

ing a hearty handshake to some labor
ing man. farmer, or. indeed. any one OF

The result of the test that actual
war put upon the militia was startling
and disappointing. Few Ct the volun-
teers were tried I'm the battle line but
i'm the camps where the test was rot
nearly so severe as it was az the front,
the weakness of the militia organiza- .
ton was sadly demonstrated. 1t is
significant that our own Rhode Island
regiment, which was made UP inde-
pendently OF the organized militia
force and indeed included n large pro-
portion Of men who had never been In
the militia. was whipped into shape
within few weeks under the able ad-
ministration on regular army officers
and some OF The most earnest expert
enced ard talented OF our militia OFF,

age militia organization that went into
the service This demonstrated what

their worth. I'm other words, It would
appear from this examric that FOR all
the money ana pains expended on the

EGYPTIAN DANCING IN EGYPT.

The genuine native dancing girls per-
form in the little cafes that abound in
the Arabian quarter. These places are
usually small, and about thirty men
squatted around the seats that line the
walls make a full house.
Here the Arabs come TO smoke and
drink coffee and hear the music. while
in the centre of the cafe the dancing
girls perform. The places are filled with
smoke of the nargileh and cigarettes,
and the dreamy natives who lounge
along the walls puff everlastingly on
barely noticing the girls who are weay-
ing and swaying n the sinuous undula-
tions of the dance to the time OF a
groggy tomtom and the mellow drone
of a reed whistle. The dance is about
the same as the one seen at the World s
Fair in Chicago. dIvested OF most Of its
offensive trimmings. There II was de-
signed To startle and shock and come
up to Western notions Of Oriental de-
pravity. while here on it's native heath
Ii Is simply dance that is an old as the
country itself, and TO those who have

tions Of familiarity it rs probably as

dance prepared for the tourist that dis
gusts you and makes you think that the
Orient should be raided.-Chicago Rec

russ sELDEN's FROG FARM.

one OF the sights OF Friendship. ~ j.,
is the frog farm of Miss Mona Selden.
Miss Scldon was a school teacher ia
forced her 20 resign and caused her TO
take up a unique occupation. Miss sell
den visited a market one day and saw
dozens OF frogs legs on sale she
found they were high priced and imme-
diately got the idea that she could make
money raising frogs.
The country around Friendship is
dotted with marshes and small ponds
that during the spring and summer are
fuil OF frogs Of all sizes. This land was
considered OF little value. and when
Miss Seden offered one of the owners
two dollars an acre fer twenty acres
of the wett-st ana bogGicst of II he
jumped e." the chance to sell.
The first thing Miss Selder did 20
her property was Ia fence IL in. she
had two strands OF wire strung around
IL. and when her purrCse became
fnown 10 the neighbors they sat IN
the village stores at night and cracked
jokes at ncr expense.
II was late in the season when Miss
Selden finished the job of fencing, and
she spent winter I'm reading everything
she could get hold OF that told about
frC -, and when she wasn't reading she
was out in a barn shooting at mark
with targct rifle.
When spring came and the frog sea-
son opened The former school teacher
could hit a bulfs-eye AT sixty PAGES
and she went 20 shooting frogs on her
preserves and shipping them To New
York The first season she cleared
iiftCcu hundred dollars.
Then those who had laughed at her
went 90 shooting frogs and sold them to
her. while she shipped them 10 New
York at q nice profit. That was five
years ago. She has since made from
$4,000 TO $4,000 a year i'm the business.

matter of The right To exist Of the town
of Pullman IN tho courts The courts
have decided that the town Of Pullman
has no right 90 exist ON this free Amer
lean continent. II is OF the nature of a
feudal institution and must be obliter-
atcd, though not exactly for that
reason. This model town was
famous. II was a New England mul
village on large scale--a very large
scale. II was a beautiful little city 20
slook al with it's cosy houses-some two
thousand brick residences I'm all-its
well ordered streets, it's churches and
schools. it's hotel, amusement han. pub
Tic library, ana everything that little
city would require. IL must have been
n delightful place 20 live ia. Surely
the Pullman company employees seemed
to get along comfortably m ihelr town
except when there came time TO
strike. Then the cosy little city nat
urally came in FOR a cusstu. The trou-
Bile about IL was that it was all owned
by Pullman, Just as the mil village rs
owned by the nnl corporation
Churches. schools, hotel brick resi-
dcnces. everything expressed no private
owaership or iniependcut possession or
possibilities y competition. They were
all puIlmaas. The l6sa Or IL runs
against The srain Of The free American.
Moreover. and. as we Understand it
this is where the rub Came--thc Pull
man company under i.g charter had no
right 80 build and rur n town. So the
little fenced ia city is 10 become a part
of the city OF Chicago, within whose
borders t Is q ;oy town no longer. The
town will be sold IN parcels like any
other rcGi estate. IL was IN unique and
successful experiment.. But perhaps It
is just as well that Il should pass.

In a recent article, Adjt Gen. Corbin
pays a tribute to our regular army that
every American will endorse after the
record the regulars made in the SAN
tiago campaign. What he says Of the
militia is equally 20 the point, If the
experience of the Spanish war is re-
called. lie praises the militia FOR It's
loyal response To the cali for volun-
teers. but declares that the national
guard must be conducted on Il different
basis II it is TO become adequate as a
fighting force on demand. In other
words, i'm the Spanish war, az in the
Civil War, the volunteers had 90 be
trained into regulars before they could
be OF service. That the militia organi-
cation as conducted furnished no such
training necessary To make an efficient
fighting force on call was amply de-
monstrated. Had the Spanish war
lasted longer, VI" NoluhNttiH N'Hi'
have turned out all right as they did
i'm the civil War after being put
through a course of sprouts, which un-
fortunately had TO be pursued i'm the
face Of the enemy. Probably II would
be impossible and IL il not expected
that the national guard could be
trained up to the standard of regulars
before being incorporated into the reg
ular establishment. but manifestly the
condition could he vastly improved oyer
what IL was discovered TO be when the
test of the Spanish war was applied to
the organization.
