Remarkable Christmas
Present.

Among the curious Christmas presents
of this year will be one for man of ma
tional reputation, which has been all year
in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and friend Of the promi-
nent gentleman requested the Burrele
Press Clipping Bureau, Of New York,
to watch every paper in America, and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
instructions, and now present the history
Of one year in the life Of this especial man.
The history ends Just after election,
and the 2O,642 newspaper items found
include everything from thrce-linc cdi-
torial mention to full-pagc Illustrated
stories. These have been mounted on
5000 great sheets Of Irish linen paper
and bound into three massive volumes.
At the head Of each item is the name
and date Of paper clipped from. this in
formation having been put in with "A
book typewriter. The words thus in
serted amount to 153, 1852.
In actual time, very strict record Of
which has been kept, the work has re-
quircd sixty-four working days through
out the year, and has kept in employment
during that time thirty people as readers,
clippers, ,sorters, mounters and binders.
Every newspaper Of Importance is repre-
j sentcd.
This is merely a specimen Of some of
the unique orders which get into the Bur.
rellc Bureau, for the extent to which
clippings are used by individuals and by
business concerns seems to be remarkable
There arc many people in private al
well as in public life who need press clip
