FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The five hundredth anniversary of the birth of Gutenburg, the inventor of printing, will be celebrated next June. A most significant illustration of the worlds progress will be shown in the contrast between the limited and crude equipment of that old genius and tho vast and complicated machinery of the modern printing house.-New Ha- ven Palladium.

His HappY Euture.

The Saunterer happened to be dining with a friend the other evening, and of course the tables population includ- ed the inevitable 5-year-old boy. The latter had fallen into the habit of ask ing for all kinds of impossible things, being refused and going bowling from the room in obedience to the command. He would re-enter two minutes later with a half dozen dirty streaks and a bright I-accept-your-apology smile on his face.
 On this evening, after the third ex- cursion, he suddenly conceived an af- lection for the sugar bowl. He reached for 1t, got it and as promptly gave 1t up in response to the threatening hand of his mother. His father glanced up casually, waiting for the usual out burst before he sent him out, but in- stead the child's face frightened, and his eyes twinkled with anticipation.
 What are you so glad about, Will lieT asked his father.
 'I w-uz thinkin," answered Willie ''I wuz thinkin of all the sugar I'm goiH to have when everybody else in this house is ad."-Philadelphia h. Quirer

Of all things we should like to be quoted correctly on the century ques- tion. The Pawling Recorder makes us appear ridiculous by saying that we said:
 "Col Card of the Millerton Telegram has been converted and now believes that the twentieth oontury begins Jan. l, 1901. He sees the point that the Christian Era began with Jan. 1, the year 0. We have never seen the year 0 recognized"
 The following is what we really did say:
 Col Card of the Millerton Telegram has been converted and now believes that the twentieth century begins Jan. l. 1901. He sees the point that the Christian Era began with January l. tue year l, and not as some would have us believe with Jan. l, the year o. We never have seen the year recognized.

The Norwalk Gazette itself says that it began its one hundredth year of publi- cation on January 9th inst, The title page of that issue says Vol. O No. l, and also says Founded in 1900. We know that newspaper "Volumss" are sometimes curiously arranged, but if the Gazette will explain whether it is ninety-nine or one hundred years old we will congratulate it. There have been fifty-two weeks in each year since 1900 and if the Gazette volumes stand for years it must be one hundred years old already or else the first week of Jan nary is not the anniversary of it's initial number. If the Gazette was founded in January, 1900, Vol. I must have given way to Vol. IT in January, 1901; and so on, crediting volume for each year, Vol. CI would be due January, 1900. Perhaps the founders of the Gazette were 50 muddled over the century question of 1i99 and 1900 that they did not number the first volume at all. Like wine, the Gazette has improved
 with age, no matter how old it is.
