Tens of Millions of Documents Turn

The Government Printing Office at
Washington which has been brought
prominently to notice lately through an
investigation of the award of contracts
for typesetting machines. is the largest
establishment of its kind i'll the world.
and nowhere can be found such an eX-
tcnSive department in any printing
Office as that devoted to what is known
rs job work. The amount of printing
coming under the head of job work
turned out by this office is one of the
principal items at the establishment.
Among the larger items of work per
formed by the job room may be found
blanks, circulars, cards, letter and note
heads and envelopes. 1J,OOO,uOO of the
latter being required each month for
the various Government departments.
The blank" department of the job

due to the fact that Indian opinion Is

believe that Il wholesome change is
coming over the public sentiment in
this as in so many other matters.
There were about five millions of beg

last census, and nearly onc-fifth of the
number were ClaSSCd as religious men

represented Il decrease of about per
cent from that ut the previous census,
and the decline has been attributed i'll
part to the comparatively heavy NOR
tHlity among them during the famine
years. But, says the report, "it is also
partly attributable to the spread of
education and the consequent weaker
hold which the SO-CallUd aSCcticS have
on the Imagination of the people," it
being much less easy than it was form
crly for the members of the various
begging communities to unloosr the
purse strings of the people"
There is happily reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is tiltcring down to the
lower levels. This evil is not confined
to one particular community or re-
ligion. 1t is as rampant among the
Mahomctans as among the IIindoos.

been forcihly calling the attention Of
