Several years ago an agitation was
started to do away with the govern
ment printing office. There is no
doubt that lots of the stuff printed at
public expense is not worth the paper
wasted upon it; but the critics fail to
take cognizance of the fact that if the
same stuff were given out to outside
printers, under a government con-
tract, it would cost fully 25 per cent.
more. AS long as congressman will
talk, they will insist upon seeing their
names in print, and government sci
enlist and experimenters consider
themselves entitled to general circu-
lation of their bulletins. great
country like ours cannot afford to be
sfiraA IA the printing bill, nor can the
government give too wide publicity to
the utterances of its statesmen and
the essays of its men of science.
There may be lots of chaff, but occa-
sionally a grain of wisdom is scat
tered abroad by means of government
reports which enlightens the public or
brings prosperity within reach of
farmer, trader or manufacturer.
The printers of America are Justly
proud ~ the government establish
pent. First, because it reflects credit
upon their honorable craft; second,
because the hints they receive from its
management are helpful to the con-
duct of even the smallest shop. There
is not a government on earth whose
printing equals ours; not single blue
book which can be compared to the
most ordinary department report is
sued at Washington. Everything
about our public printing is perfect:
The type is clean and clear; the press
work is just right; the margins re-
spectacle; the binding neat and sub
stantial; maps and diagrams correct,
and drawings artistic.
A famous European royal lady once
said that she judged a woman by the
stationery she used. Should the same
discerning woman judge nations by
their printing she would pronounce
the United States of America the neat
est, cleverest and most powerful coun-
try, which, we know. it is.

AN EPIDEMIC or LAUGHTER
Three Young People In Illinois Town
Who Nearly Die from Irreprcs-
sibIe Merrinent.

The young people of Wellington, in
rroquois county, H., are suffering
from an epidemic Of laughter, which
has batiled the doctors and has caused
much distress. The first victim Of the
affection was Miss Eflie Hamilton. the
15-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. NJ. Hamilton. She laughed unceas-
ingly for four days, until her father,
not knowing what else TO do. dashed a
glass Of cold water in her face. The
shock had the desired effect, but for a
long time the girl was exceedingly
weak from the strain of her four days
of laughing.
The second victim was Miss Rosa
Butts, aged Is. Sc was taken much
the same way as Miss Hamilton. but
the cold water cure had only tempo-
rary effect. The girl was finally
stopped, but not until her condition
had become alarming.
The third victim is young man,
John Kimberlin, who laughed for al
most a week. and then only let mp ow-
ing to his excessive weakness. The
young people were all similarly af-
aicted, and during their bysterical at
tacks were unable to eat or sleep, so
the facilitating effect Of their ailment
can easily be understood.
The utmost solemnity is the rule in
wellington now, and anythings calcn-
lated to start even mild laugh is
promptly suppressed.

of inquiry upon the destruction of
the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor. This publication consisted
of 2gS pages Of text, "a full-page
engravings and one Autograph in
colors; and although the originals
of the illustrations were not in the
possession of the Office until three
o'clock D. m. of March %, and the
manuscript of the text was not re-
ceived until six p. m. of the same
day, complete printed copies, in pa
per covers, were placed upon the
desks of senators and representa-
tives by ten o'clock the following
morning.
In planning the new printing Office
the architect, by the advice of the pub
lie printer, has paid particular atten-
ton to light and ventilation. Light is
supplied by thousand windows, many
of which face spacious inner court,
with additional ventilation from a
complete exhaust system. Heat is
supplied by the latest system of d.
rect-indirect steam.
Alphabetically the building is one
of the finest specimens of the steel
skeleton class. The metal framing,
which represents weight of 5000
tons, is completely covered by fire.
proof material. The brick is of the
nest variety, including a large guam
tity of the white enameled kind, to be
used for dadoes around the room walls
and for lining stair and elevator wells
and toilet rooms. The edifice will con-
tain $4,000 square feet of granolithic
and asphalt pavement and 14,500 yards
of concrete. All the "baseboards" will
be cast iron, and this metal will also
be employed for door and window
frames. The roof framing is of steel,
and on this viii be placed a covering of
glazed tile. to produce harmonious
color scheme. The building will be
seven stories, with storage rooms in
the basement.
Lieut.. John Stephen Sewell, of the
| United States engineer corps, who has
charge of the construction of the new
printing Office, reports that it will be
finished during the present year, and
within the authorized limit cost. The
last sentence is a powerful argument
for those who advocate the erection
of all public buildings under the SUI
pervision of army engineers and de-
nounce the employment of profess
sional contractors.
