ERRORS OF THE TYPES.
Some Mistakes That Were Missed by
tho Visilant Proofreader.

tne ViShant Froofrcader.
A popular and prominent man in
England was once called upon to
address an assemblage which greet
ed him enthusiastically and with
cheers. The newspaper which re-
ported the meeting said innocently,
"The vast concourse rent the air
with their snouts."
A MS. read as follows: Gall these
facts are really worth noting" The
printer, however, inserted an "h"
into the last word, and it was thus
set up, Cali these facts are really
worth nothing"
A provincial paper, in reporting
the speech of celebrated politician,
intended to add as comment, "and
the masses believed him." instead
of which, by typographical error,
the addition read, "and them asses
believed him."
An enthusiastic editor wrote,
'sThe battle is now opened" But,
alas, the compositor spelled battle
with an co." and his readers said
they had suspected it all along.
A New York editor wrote an
obituary on a man of some promi-
nence, and among other things he
said, ''He began life as legal prac-
titioner, but was diverted from it by
love of bitters."
Rev. DR.. Todd was given some
relics to present to museum. In
his speech he alluded to the elves of
tho saints" When his remarks
were published they came out Giles
of tbs ssints,= and this so enraged
the giver OF the relics that he de-
manded their return.
An instance of faithful effort to
follow copy" occurred in New
York newspaper Office. The report
er, who wrote a very bad vertical
hand, put it down that zigzag fash
es Of lightning played among the
clouds, and in the proof it came out
that "319,309 flashes" played
among the clouds.
A lecturer before temperance
society told his audience, in describ-
ing his journeys, that he had mere
Iy "a taste Of Naples and Rome"

DECLINE OF COURTESY.
IS Difference to Woman Becoming i
Thing of the Past7


Thing of the Past7
The familiar toast, "Here's to
Toman, once our superior, now our
saual." is much more than clever
bit of banquet tooling. 1t wrs
jest when first spoken. It is taken
as fact now. We have seen in re-
cent years a steady diminution Of
the Difference to woman which in
the past century was q part of ev-
cry boys education. Even the bow,
once genuhection of real compli-
ment, has deteriorated into fash
ionable shrug. The kiss is unmen-
tionable except as a microbe exhibit,
and, as for surrendering comforts
from sense of duty, here is the very
latest authority from the very latest
book of etiquette: "The old custom
of man giving his seat in a street
car to a woman is being gradually
done away with. This is due largely
to the fact that women are now SO
extensively engaged in commercial
business that they are constant rid
ers at busy hours and thus come in
to direct competition with the men,"
And we find this delicious passage
in the further elaboration of tho
rules: GA woman should not look
with panied and injured air at the
men passengers because no one of
them has offered her seat" Real
ly it comes as balm to the soul to
be told that ca man should never
cross his legs or keep his feet ex-
tended in the passageway" Custom
rules, and it does little good to sigh
for the good old days. Still, we
shall cling to the belief that good
manners cannot go wholly out of
fashion, that Difference to women
is excellent, not only for the woman,
but for the man, and that the gen
tleman who is guided by the better
promptings of his nature and the
higher teachings of his youth will
get more abiding satisfaction out of
life than by ignoring woman simply
because she dares to try the only
way of becoming Independent by
making her own living.-Saturday
Evening Post.

SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
How *he Skipper Named His Boat and
Observed the Proprieties.

Hfo" Sno skipper tSarTteu !IiS BoaG and
Observed the Proprieties.
There is something singularly
captivating to the imagination in
the names of many of the old time
sailing vessels, coastw.se and ocean
going which onca spread their
white wing sd plentifullY against
the blue sHe& and bright waters OF
the New England narbors.
Who can. help at the mere sound
of such names as the Lively Jane,
the Lovely Peggy, the Laughing
Lucy, the Modest Ann, the Constant
Mary, the Three Fair Sisters, Great
ing mental picture of the sailors
sweethearts so honored in all the
flower and freshness of their forgot
ten charms? Many indeed are the
suggestions for the romancer hid
den away in the brief compass of old
shipping lists preserved here and
there in faded and tattered newspa-
pers. Sometimes, too, one catches
elsewhere an echo Of their name and
fame.
In one old New England seaport
there was a few years ago an aged
seaman whose favorite tune among
the many chanteys he was in the
Eabit of humming as he went about
the domestic chores of his tiny, soli-
tary house was scrap Of refrain set
to q taking air, all he could remem-
Der OF a once popular sea song in
honor Of some fair unknown:
Hey. the charming Sally o!
Boston bound who'd daily o?
sally o the foam 20 my Sally safe ae
And we'll speed her homo from Ccuao!
Perhaps the most curious story of
any vessel named for a sweetheart is
that pertaining to neither fishing
craft nor merchantman, but to lit
tie skiff familiar in the long ago to
the waters Of Narragansett bay. It
was owned by the good elder Of q
little shore village, who for fifty
years had persistently courted shy
maiden of the name of Rhoda Bak-
er. So shy was she that often when
he called she would not even see
him. He would find the sitting
room empty and the chair from
which she had fled at the very mo-
ment Of her 'Come in" yet rocking
by the window.
At length Rhoda died, still q
spinster, and her bereaved lover de-
sired to honor her memory by be-
slowing her name upon his boat.
But he encountered a difficulty.
Rhoda's permission could not be
asked, and since in life she had
never accepted him was it fair or
courteous to her to dispense with it !?
He solved this problem of chivalry
and avoided the least shadow of pre-
sumption by naming the vessel and
painting the name in conspicuous
black letters on the stern, Rhoda

NEW YALE SONGS.
Undersraduatss Practicing for Satur-

New Haven, Nov 16.--In order that the singing at the Harvard game on Saturday may be made more stir ring feature than ever before the Yale Athletic association has raised money enough by subscription to dis tribute 25,00O copies of Yale songs at the field. Already 2,OOO copies of Yale songs are in the hands of under graduates and rehearsals give promise of the presence of we'll organized chorus.
 1t is officially announced that the stands at Yale field will seat 31,924 persons.
 An elaborate schedule of special trains to bring spectators to the foot ball game Saturday is announced to- day, with reduction in fares from many points. Trains will arrive here earlier than heretofore, and in view of this fact preparations are being made to entertain several thousand visitors at lunch at Yale commons. All hotel accommodations in the city from Fri day till Sunday have been taken.
