SOME CURIOUS MlsPRlNTs
Errors by the composItor That Make
the Author Say Things Quite
Other Than Intended.

A sentimental novelist, describing
his heroine as one who "always kept
modestly in the background" was
Mortified to find it recorded in print
that she "alwsys kept modesty in the
background"
A religious paper described the
throat of suicide as being "cut
from year to year,"
A curious error appeared m the
City Press. In a notice of special
service held at ST. Panps cathedral,
at which the anthem, Il win Wash
My Hands in Innncency," was sung
by the choir, the compositor made
the hinnder that the anthem sung
was, II win Wash MY Hands in In
decency."
In another paper appeared an adj
vertisement for q plain cook and
house maid, where ''the gardener

savaN CLUBS FAMOUS CUP
Drinking Vessel That Was Owned by
Goldsmith, David carrick, Doctor
johnson and Burke.

The famous literary society Of
London, called the Savage club, has
traditional connection with Wills
Coffee-House and the Mermaid tav-
ern Of early days. The reader Of Mr..
Watson's recent volume Of history
and anecdote relating to the club
will come across in its pages incl
dental mention of things that recall
names that are famous in our liter
allure. How rich in associations a
simple drinking cup may become is
shown by the following:
In 1902 there was brought to the
club a most remarkable relic of
which the lord mayor Of London had
recently obtained possession. This
was loving-cup holding a pint, or
a little more, which, as certain in
scriptions testified, was at one time
the property of Oliver Goldsmith.
On Goldsmith's death it passed into
the hands of David Garrick, and
thence to the possession of one of the
literary and artistic clubs of the day.
Then, after an interval, it passed
into Doctor Johnson's hands, for
one Of the inscriptions engraved on
its silver rim records that it was pre-
sented to Burke by his friend, Sam
uel johnson, Doctor of Letters, as a
memento of Johnson's visit to Bea-
consheld, which was Burke's home.
The date of the presentation was
1779, five years after the death Of
Goldsmith, and five before the death
of johnson.

Luther Martin, attorney general o.
Maryland, was very fond Of music,
but could not distinguish one tune
from another. After his defense OF
Aaron Burr for treason he was very
unpopular in Baltimore. A crowd
surrounded his house with band Of
music playing ''The Rogue's March. "
The old gentleman took it as a COM
pliment, walked to the front and
thanked them politely for their mu-
sic. Not expecting such reception,
the mob stared and moved on, and
his family, who were very much ter
rified, gave him hint to slip away
from the door.-Clark, Eminent

NOT TRUE PICTURE OF CHRIST.

The correspondent who asked for
information as to the verisimilitude
of the conventional hkenesses of the
Saviour will find Sir Wyka Bayliss'
Seven Angels of the Renaissance
full Of instruction on the subject.
He shows that in all the centuries
the one thing which has undergone
no change is the likeness of Christ ;
that it is authentic; and he traces it
back to the days of the Apostles.
The Christ painted by the five great
painters of the Renaissance is always
the same; taken not from the splen-
did visions of artistic genius, but
from a likeness found in rough draw
ing by an unknown artist on face
cloth taken from the grave Of one Of
the first martyrs for the Christian
faith.-New York Times.

USES FOR COOKING LESSONS
Some OF the Unexpected Motives That
Cause Women to Go 20 the
Culinary Glasses.

Training schools in cookery have
a wide range of patrons, and some
OF the uses to which knowledge thus
acquired is put are mentioned in
Live Topics About Town Of the New
York Sun: "The motives that cause
women to take cooking lessons are
decidedly varied nowadays" said a
cooking teacher. Gin single class
j have a good example Of this. Two
pupils are demonstrators for gas
stoves and the company pays for
their lessons, approaching the help
1T will be to them in advertising gas
ranges. Another pupil is employed
In the editorial Office Of a magazine
and takes cooking lessons as a means
OF writing intelligently on culinary
subjects. Still another is preparing
to undertake the catering for large
boarding school and is anxious to un-
derstand food values and get tips
on marketing. Two more are bust
ness women just starting in house
keeping and eager to learn miniature
cooking. Not an engaged girl in
the whole class, while a couple Of
years ago only prospective brides
were ever found in cooking class. /"

SOAP QUICKLY MADE.

E. Savy has invented a machine
for instantaneously converting LIQUID
soap into solid soap to be used in
bars or as powder. AS described in
his patent, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, the apparatus comprises a TO-
table drum containing channels to
receive and divide the soap pate INTO
fine flakes, and provided with means
for the introduction of a cooling
gas or liquid. Fitting closely against
the side of this drum there revolves
in the opposite direction a smaller
cylinder with double walls, which
acts as a hopper for the liquid soap
sides of the cylinder coinciding with
paste. Steam or hot water is intro
duced between the walls, while the
sides of the cylinder are pierced with
circular openings coinciding with
the channels in the large drum.
Means are also provided for dis
charging the sohdifed soap from the
drum in the form of a bar or bars.

The invention of the telegraph
is now traced back to 1855 and par
ticularly mentioned in a little book,
then written and published by the
marquis of Worcester, inventor of
the steam engine. He there gives it
the name of "visual correspondence"
and calls il his own invention. The
process is getting possession Of

BY fireworks, in different forms, for
different letters spelling the order or
intelligence, from station to station.

Sparks From Fire Waste.

Fire losses and the cost of fire pre-
vention in the United States amount
annually to $450.0O0,000, or more
than the total American production
of gold. silver, copper and petro-
leum in year.
The cost of fires each year is one
half the cost of all the new buildings
erected in year.
The annual Ger capita fire waste
in the United States is $2.5l, in
Europe. 33c. Cause: The latter
has better construction, less care
lessness. increased responsibility.
II buildings in the United States
were as fireproof as in Europe. the
annual cost Of fire losses and protec-
ton would be only $4,000. 900.
Fires in the United States cost
over $500 minute.
The way to get lower insurance
rates is to have fewer fires.
New York city spends $40. OoO. 900
a year for fire extinguishment and
$l5. 900 year for fire prevention.
