The JAPANESE PRINTER.
He Has Troubles of His Own In His
Composing Room.

He Has Troubles of His Own In His
Composing Room.
If the typesetters of the western
world have their troubles they are
as nothing compared with those of
the Japanese composing room.
The Japanese, like their breth
reu, t..~ vninese, employ written
language-wh what might be called a
literary dialect-that is quite diff
ferent from the colloquial tongue.
In other words, they do not, as we,
write as they speak. This proceed
ing requires the printing of their
journals in two languages, the ''Ka-
ma" and the square characters serv-
ing as key to the other. These
square characters are modelled on
Chinese ideographs, a tumble of
geometric figures, crosses, etc., pre-
senting picturesque zigzag effect.
There are 1000 to 5000 of these
ideographs in everyday use. The
compositor must therefore be some
thing of a scholar, in the oriental
sense, to be able to recognize the
characters at sight. In order to
facilitate his task as much as pos
sible the arrangement of his work
room is something like this:
The compositor seats himself at
little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters AS
he receives copy he cuts it into
small strips, handing each strip to a
boy. This boy marches along the
room until he has finally been able
to collect from number of cases
arranged ia files down the room the
different ideographs desired. About
six or seven boys are thus employed
in the average japanese composing
room running hither and thither.
AS they go their rounds in search
of the ideographs they keep up a
dirgelike chant, which would GER
tainly be very trying to the nerves
of any but an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their ideographs they place them
before the composltor, who then
has recourse to a pair of goggles in
order to decipher the characters,
fish out the corresponding types in
the Kama character and finally set
up the whole for proving. The
proofs are sung aloud by one reader
to another, thus adding to the con-
fusion of weird sounds already
reigning in the room.--New York
Tribune.

The Timid Young Bride Coached by
Her Husband.

Her HuSband.
A young bride who belonged to
charity club and sometimes had to go
out alone after dark was very much
afraid Of being stopped and robbed.
Her husband disliked to provide her
with ~ revolver. but he lau.'ll u
punchifg ba. nhJ showed her how t0
use her fists and where to place the
most telling blow in case of molesta-
ton.
Below the belt. mind you," he ad
jured her-'below the belt. Such a
blow if properly planted will make
man sorry quicker than anything. Ii
any one steps out in front of you your
course will be easy. If he comes up
behind yon swing round suddenly and
strike out hard The robber will re-
pent Of his evil ways in hurry"
That night was The brides late even
ing. and she happened to be coming up
the street just in front of her husband
when he saw her. and the spirit of mis-
chief took possession Of him.
Wonder if she'd really do as I told
her or If her little fists would hurt
any one"'ahe pondered.
Two seconds later he found out
Walking UP behind his wife. he laid a
heavy hand upon her shoulder He
had no time In which to say anything.
and she made no effort in that direc-
ton. She simply obeyed his instruc
lions to the letter. swinging round
with SuddpnnpSS which comnletplv
disconnected him. and delivered blow
that made all the rest of his predic,
lions come true.
Then she fed home with the speed
and energy of frightened deer. not
even waiting to cast single glance at
the discounted man who had. as she
supposed. endeavored to rob her. She
passed the remainder Of the evening in
alternately weeping out her nervous
ness upon her husbands shoulder and
wondering why ne looked so pale.

A Fellow Named Marty.

John Stetson. the famous old the
atrical manager of Boston. was man
of great native ability. but his early
education had been somewhat neglect
ed. and the go-as-yOu-please fashion
in which he handled the kings Eng
fish was continually horrifying his
punctilious fellow townsmen. On one
occasion he was interested in the or
ganization of light opera company
and was disappointed to hear that a
certain popular prima donna whom he
hoped to secure was about to start
south.
i've signed contract for Mardi
Gras,' she said. Ito sing in New Or
leans"
Huh grunted Mr. Stetson. Hope
you get your money" Later on he re-
ported the matter to his partner
''Well. we can't get her." he said.
"She's gone and joined fake Grau
opera company"
(which Grau is running the shown"
asked the other
"A fellow named Marty" replied Mr.
Stetson. You know Maurice Grau
has about 200 second cousins. and this
must be one that's just gone into the
business"

Got Better All the Time.

A party of tourists were doing Bos-
ton and Cambridge. Said one: $50 this
is the cemetery where they say James
Russell Lowell as small boy went
out one Halloween night to look for
ghosts. / wonder which stone he was
hiding behind and If he really did see
ghost"
II can't tell you, ma'am," answered
the guide, "but over here lies man
who had three wives. On the stone of
the first one he had inscribed. My
Wife on the stone of the second, Ny
Dear Wife, and on that of the third,
My Beloved Wife If any ghosts try
walking around here it ought to be
that first wife,"

Plenty of Reason.

While governor Of Tennessee
Senator Robert L. Taylor was once
approached by an old negro woman
who asked pardon for her hus-
band, sent to the penitentiary for
stealing hog.
Glow long has he been in jail"
was asked.
"Goin' on two years now" came
the answer; 'but, law, he amt no
good to them and want no good to
me nohow, an | speck they'll be
glad to get rid o. him."
"Why do you want to get him out
if he was Of no use to you?"

HAPPINESS.

No mockery in this world ever sounds
to me so hollow as that of being told
to cultivate happiness. What does
such advice mean? Happiness is not
a potato in mold and titled with ma
nure Happiness is a glory shining
far down upon us out of heaven. She
is a divine dew which the soul on GER

What There's Time For.

Lots of time for lots of things,
Though it's said that time has wings
There is always time to find
Ways of being sweet and kind.
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away,
Time gentle word to say.
Time for helpfulness and time
To assist the weak to climb,
Time to give little flower,
Time for friendship any hour.
But there is noStime to spare
For unkindness anywhere.
