MOST ANCIENT PRINTERS.
Chinese Produced Prints and Illuatra-
tfons Before Europe Knew
About Them.

Centuries before the art pressrvn-
tive" was known in Europe the Chi
nese had practiced printing and had
produced illustrations by engraved
blocks. From the Chinese the Japan
ese learned to print and engravings
dating from the thirteenth century
have been found.
xylography was arst employed in
the service OF religion for reproducing
texts and images OF the Buddha. This
was followed by the production OF pub
lications such as romances and novels,
IN which the illustrations were about
on a par with those IN old-ume chat
books These were followed by single
sheet prints and by that large class Of
productions which emanafed from the
theater as advertisements.
Chroma~xylography originated in
Japan at the commencement Of the
eighteenth century with single sheets
printed from three blocks. black, pale
green or blue. and pale pink. A fourth
block was added in l72e. and two
others were added about 40 years later.
The art was brought TO perfection
between 1868 and 1855 in the single
sheet pictures. TORI Kyonaga." "su-
zuki Haruhobn" and "Katsugawa
Shunsho."
The technique OF Japanese engray-
ing and printing is thus described;
The picture. drawn for the engraver
on thin transparent paper Of q par
ticular kind, Is pasted face downward
upon a block OF wood. usually cher
~. and the supernuous thickness OF
paper is removed by a process OF
scraplng until the design Is clearly Wis
ible.
The borders Of the outline are then
incised-very lightly in the more deli
cate parts-with a kind OF knife and
the irterspaces between the lines OF
the drawing are finally excayated hy
means OF tools OF various shapes
The ink ls then applied with brush
and the printing is Effected BY hand
pressure. assisted BY q kind Of pad,
to which procedure may be attributed
much Of the beauty Of the result. Ger
tain graduations OF tone and even
polychromatic effects may be pro-
duced from a single block By suitable
application Of ink or color upon the
wood, and on carefully examining
these prints Il is often apparent that
a great deal Of artistic feeling has
been exercised In the execution Of the
picture after the designer and engrav-
sr had finished their portion q the

Charles Belts State

Charles Belts is an old resident of
Burlington, educated and raised in this
city and is probably as well known a
man as we have in Vermont today. Mr.
Belts has always led very prominent
life. being on the police force for thirty
five years and at the same time being
owner and manager of a grocery store
located at the corner of King and Bat
terry streets. Two years ago last Novem-
Der, Mr.. Belts was stricken with blood
poison and after a very serious time,
gangrene set in, which everyone sup.
posed would be fatal. A year ago the
coming March Mr.. Belts was taken to
the Mary Fletcher hospital on two differ
9nt occasions before the medical class.
his case being such a peculiar and bad
one that 1t was deemed incurable, and
the professor, who lectered to the class
on Mr.. Belts case of gangrene and
blood poison, told his physician and
members of the class to make Mr. Belts
as comfortable as possible, as he would
never leave is room again. He suffered
on In this condition, getting little bet
ter and rgain worse, until both feet
were in decaying condition, holes be-
ing eaten into the toes from the gan
CREME.
On Dec. IA he consulted DR.. Morrow
of AZ Church street in regard to his con-
dition, and when told by DIR. Morrow
that his case was durable, like many
Others he rather doubted the statement
and as Mr.. Belts has since said, if every
physician in Burlington had told him
that in one months time the gangrene
and soreness would have been gone, he
would have thought they were sadly
mistaken but nevertheless, it has proved
to be fact that DIR. Morrow has COM
pletely cured his gangrene and blood
poison. His feet are perfectly healthy
and natural, which goes to show to all
Intelligent people, no matter what pre-
JUDGE may be raised through jealousy
or from other causes that DIR. j. w.
Morrow of 40 Church street can and does
cure, after many of our so called best
physicians fail.
Mr.. Belts says Il will give this test-
monial freely and without solicitation
and shall b9 pleased to show or explain
my case to any one Interested as |
believe suffers should know where a
physician that can be relied upon can be
found"

vermo ont Custom Receipts.

The calendar year ending December
81, 1903, was very busy one for
Collector DIN Merrill of the Burlington
customs district of Vermont and his
force of 63 subordinates, the volume of
business transacted being far in excess of
that in any year since the old district of
Vermont was divided in 1897, and in
fact for some years before that.
The value of merchandise brought into
the Burlington district in l903 from Can
ada amounted to 81 ABS, 500, upon which
duties to the amount of So, 424, $50. SO
were collected or estimated. The value
of merchandise entered for immediate
consumption was: Goods exempt from
duty, S1,341, l04; duitable merchandise,
S3,016,240 upon which duties amounting
to $685., S2S. 80 were collected: entered for
warehousing, S95,91l, upon which duties
amounting to S5,SfS.75 were assessed:
entered for transportation to other
districts, S194,0l2, duties assessed, 1922.
01S.32; entered for transportation and
expectation, $6,370, 103 estimate duties,
81, 154, 47I05: imported under consular
seal, $49l $50, duties, $109, 712.75.
Seventy-tive per cent of the merchandise
imported under consular seal consisted
of fresh halibut from Vancouver and
destined for Boston.
The magnitude of the business can
better be understood when it is stated
that this merchandise was contained in
nearly 10000 railroad cars. The value
of merchandise exported to Canada
through this district was $40, 74S ,099.
