1t has at last been decided to install
typesetting machines into the govern
ment printing Office at Washington,
and something like $6S,000 will be
spent in that way. This is probably
the only great printing Office in the
world that has not long ago had these
machines, the reason for the delay be-
ing the constitutional conservatism of
bureaucracy and the quiet, but deter
mined. opposition Of the typographical
union.

The total number of japanese Chris
tians in 1902 was 1891 34, of whom 49,
600 were Professionals, 26,680 Greek
Catholics and 55,824 Roman Catholics.
In addition to these are thousands of
children who, are not included in the
reports of the Protestant churches.
This is only a small percentage in a
population of 5000, 900; yet it repre-
sents a great achievement when it is
remembered that it is the work of a
single generation. 1t is barely 80 years
since the law Furnishing persons for
becoming Christians was abrogated.

1t was the ambition of Harvey Scott,
of ST. Paul, to have money 10 burn, and
in his will he requested that $43, 800 OF
his cash be incinerated. Persons desir-
ing to burn money literally, instead OF
squandering it, are, however, not re-
garded as mentally sound, and the late
Mr.. SCOTS heirs will cremate the
money in a fashion other than the de-

The New York courts have decided
that theater tickets are not among the
necessaries of life required by a boy OF

ran in debt for certain bills of paste
board and when sued set up the claim
that he need not pay for them, because
they were not among the things that
'an infant" in law had to have. The
courts sustain this view.
