Typographical 5lunders That Cause
Smiles or Frowns,

Smiles or Frowns.
When a leading London newspa-
per, in noticing the floating of a
new commercial enterprise, spoke
of the issuing of 100000 snares at
Gl each a statement which, how
ever true, was hardly intentional,
the splendid fury of the promoters
of that enterprise was fully bal
anced by the large satisfaction, not
to say Q ee, of its enemies, and no
one stopped to think that the inno-
cent fac, of the close iuxtaposition
in which the letters "h' and "n'
stand to each other on the type
writer of today or a slip on the part
of the tvpesetter in the composing
room fully accounted for the Ger
ror" A typographical error may be
an evil thing. 1t is sometimes a
very serious thing, but it never fails
of being, from some point of view,
funny to the last degree.
The presence of the typewriter in
the new paper offices of today has
done much to make easier the lives
of the author, the editor and the
compositor, but the typewriter,
with all its advantages, has no au-
tomato punctuating device, and the
virtue Of the comma is amply illus
trated hy the story of the Scotch
divine, an extract from whose ser
mon as it appeared in a local paper
reads;
"Only last Sabbath, my friends, a
young woman died in this parish
very suddenly while l was endeay-
oring to preach the word in state
of beastlv intoxication."
And over a poem printed in a
weekly appeared the startling COM
ment:
"The following verses were writ
ten moro than fifty years ago by a
gentleman who has for fifteen
years lain in his grave for his own
amusement"
Unusual handwriting, however,
has more to answer for than the
vagaries of the typewriter "The
greater he author the greater the
! scrawSr is only too frequently
true, anl it is not always fair to
put the blame for this sort Of blum
der on tie shoulders of the compos-
itor. Carlyle and Balzac were two
whose copy few printers could read
and none would handle for more
than an hour at a time. Victor
Hugo and Byron were impossibly
bad pennen, and Sydney Smith is
quoted as frankly saying:
81 mrst decline reading my own
handwri .ing twenty-four hours aft
er I have written it. t."-Washington
