pie gathered. On roofs, towers, poles
at windows and from grandstands er
ected for almost the entire length Of
the route, the more fortunate thou
sands viewed the spectacle, while an
enormous crowd surged against the
police lines drawn at the curb.
AS a praade 1t was as democratic as
1t was historical; as cosmopolitan as
It was democratic. Mayor George B,
Mcclellan and Herman Ridder, vice
president of the Hudson-Fulton cele-
bration commission, headed the line
and covered the entire distance afoot,
There was no military show; no distin-
guished personages In vehicles, all
with the exception Of the platoons OF
police mounted on their shiny-coSted
bay horses, were afoot.
A bit Of confusion at the start Of the
parade put q number Of the floats out
Of their order SO that in some In.
stances the historical sequence was
considerably upset, but the good ma
tured crowd did mot mind this. A mum.

Butter Wrappers Must be Printed.

Butter Wrappers Must be Printed.
Following is the text Of the
amended statute Of Idaho regulat-
ing the printing and stamping on
butter paper:
Section !. That section 1872 'of
chapter ), article 2, Of title 3, Of
the political code, revised codes of
Idaho, be amended to read as fol-
lows: u.
Section 1923. Each package Of
butter offered or exposed for sale
shall have stamped upon the wrap
per or package the actual number
Of ounces contained in said pack
age. Each square or roll Of butter
kept exposed or offered tor sale in
the state Of Idaho, which is repre-
sented to contain one pound in
weight, shall contain full sixteen
ounces; and each square or roll OF
butter kept or offered for sale in
the state Of Idaho which shall be
represented to contain two pounds
in weight shall contain full 80
ounces. The use of a rubber stamp
in the marking of any wrapper
used for enclosing butter, as re-
quired by this section, or section
1893 of chapter 8, article 2, of title
8, of the political code, revised
codes Of Idaho, is hereby forebid-
den, and the use of the same by
any person, persons or corpora
tons shall constitute a misde-
meanor.
The above is clipping from the
Star Mirror, and we publish this
for the benefit of those who market
and handle butter. 1t is, in itself
self-explanatory, and It will readily
be seen, that such person or per
sons must have so many full
ounces in the package as printed
on the wrapper, and that no mer
chant is allowed to accept sucl
butter unless it is printed will

Curious Foreign Papers.

The TEIBUNE has received an In
terestlng collection of foreign papers
from the Chamberlain Medicine coin-
pany, Des Moines, Iowa, manufactur-
ers Of Chamberlain's Cough remedy,
and one Of the heaviest advertisers In
this and foreign lands. We are in
formed that this company advertises
In newspapers printed 10 thirty.two
languages. A cnpy of each paper is
sent to the company as proof Of in
sertion Of the advertisement, and 1t
Is from these voucher copies that the
bundle sent US is selected. The
bundle includes papers from China,
Manila, India, Africa, etc.
The Chinese papers are printed Ia
the well known characters, 10 vertical
lines reading from top u bottom, the
lines arranged from right to left.
The Burmese language, as printed,
IS composed principally Of combs
nation OF circles. Cingalese, the
language OF Ceyl0n, is also curvili-
near. The Sindhi and Urdu are
written from left to right 10 the He.
brew fashion. The Urdu is a sort of
script and is SO chaotic la shape that
1t is impossible to reduce 1t to the
movable type form. Papers printed
In the Urdu language are therefore
first written out by hand and q plate
made by the lithographic process.
