The Origin of Typography.

About a century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day In front
of a fire In his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that
this eXpansc of wood might be i'm.
proved by little ornamentation. He
picked up the poker, heated it red hot
and began to sketch in bold design.
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt ether fire pictures on panels OF
wood. These met with a ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning of
what is now known as typography
The poker artist Of today uses many
different shaped tools and has special
furnace in which they are kept heated
The art has been elaborated greatly
The knots, curls and fibcrs of the wood
are often worked into the design and
delicate tinting produced by Scorching
the panel.

Theatrical Pay Days.

Every legitimate theater In New
York has two pay days-union and non
union. The union employees, which in
clude the men in the orchestra, the
stage hands, property men and stage
carpenters, are paid, as their union reg
ulations demand, on Saturday night.
The actors, who have no union, are not
paid until Tuesday, although their week
ends on Saturday with the nights per-
Torrance. Their salaries are held up
two days merely to insure their reap
pearapce at the theatcr on Monday.
If the company were paid off on Sat
urday night unreliable or disaffected
members of the organization might not
show up on Monday for rehearsal or
the evening performance, thus weaken
ing the production, but If the weeks
salary is held back they are reasonably
sure to report on Monday in order not
to lose what is coming to them. Ac-
tors are distinctly temperamental and
capricious, and if manager were to
pay off on Saturday night and there eX-
listed any temporary dissatisfaction in
the company he could never tell wheth-
er he would have chorus with which
to open up the week on Monday even
ing.-New York Press.

Cure For the Talking Habit.

One part horse sense and two parts
of manly determination to keep still.
Mix we'll with an unlimited amount Of
the best quality of thought. 1t is impOs-
sible for woman to talk all the time
without saying a lot of things that she
shouldn't or without proving a jolly
bore to everybody about her. This tat
ting habit is not confined entirely TO
women, though Some men have the
affection terribly. Sometimes its
wheat, sometimes it's chess, some
times it's baseball. A steady diet of
one kind conversation IS always tire
some. Take 4 nibble Of this and a
nibble of that, and your chatter will be
more interesting. particularly if there
are plenty Of rests between nibbles.
Talking Improves when there's silence
by way Of contrast.-Philadelphia In

iuence who awakened to their civic obligations,
should throw their interest the parties and work
TO bring the regular Organizations to better stand
ards. If an organization is managed by profess
sional oiceseekers, it Is because good citizens are
ncglectful of duty. 1t is as easy to have a high
class party organization to have highclass un-
partisan organization; and the party organization is
stronger.
The bipartisan influence is beneficial, no doubt
AS it always prevails, when aroused, to counteract
improper party tactics, it can be enlivened Mt any
time; in truth, it has effect in every election
1t does good in keeping up public sentiment and in
emphasizing ideals Yet 1t is not the practical force
that party attachment always proves itself to be.
The better work is to improve the party organ
izations Good citizens ought to be active They
ought to join the organizations pay their dues, vote
at the organization elections, for office in the
organizations and work in the campaigns. The
ganizations are not the better because too many
good citizens keep out of them. Advocates Of re-
form have their best opportunities in the party
ganizations:

At every step it has been possible to rectfy any
mistakes which might be the result of either blum
dcrs frauds. Finally the onerous and exacting
work of reviewing the entire record OF the various
juries has been imposed on committee of five con-
sisting of the five officers OF the Superior Jury.
This committee has been ut work since the middle
of October, continuing in daily session and giving
from six to ten hours each day to its labors.
Could anything be more absurd than to say that
this work must again be reviewed by the Board of
Directors Of the Exposition Company and by the
National Commission?
1t would be difficult to constitute n body for this
responsible work peculiarly fitted for the duty.
The Committee of Five is made up cf two repre-
sentatives of the Exposition Company. one of the
National: Commission and two Commissioners Gen
eral from foreign countries. These are the Presi-
dent Of the Exposition and tie Director of Exhibits
;in eminent lawyer of ST. Louis, named by the Ma
tional Commission, and the. Commissioners General
from France and Germany. This committee has pa
tiently investigated all appeals and its personnel
entities its decisions to the weight they are given
when the rules declare they shall be final.
Nothing could be more preposterous than to say
that such men be asked to do the laborious
work they have assumed and patiently conducted in
the capacity Of mere clerks, who report to two high
er bodies empowered to reverse any decision they
may wish to upset The Committee of Five right
fully protest against any such defiance of the rules
and regulations With equal right they manta;a

superior to that which is formally and lawfully de-

PARTIES IN THE CITIES.


In beginning reform movements and winning the
first election victories the bipartisan influence has
been SO effective that many earnest advocates of
good government believe that it offers the better
solution Of civic problems. Their opinion is ac-
centuated by the fact that misgovernment and crime
in public Office historically attributable to
another party.
Hardly too much could be said in appreciation
of the bipartisan influence or of the bipartisan
sentiment. 1t has started revolutions destroyed
gangs, instituted reform and established better
standards. It is useful at all times But except in
regard to public work and to the propagation of
practical ideals, 1t b. In reality, only temporary
forca It 10 not harmonious, and cannot be con-
trolled. The bipartisan element cannot be organ
lied thoroughly, and the organization which 1t does
acquire cannot be maintained.
The preservation Of reform must be left to the
parties to the local organizations. The party Or
ganIzations are permanent institutions; institutions
which arc necessary and which attractive to the
people and which appeal to popular sentiment and
which represent all divisions Of citizenship. The
party organizations not only can be maintained,
but have to he maintained II they were dispersed
