no more bitter experience through
which an honest trustee or executor
can pass than the rendering of an ac-
counting for lost or depleted trust.
No reason or excuse can weigh for an
instant against the actual result which
he faces. A single slip i'm the handling
OF funds like this may doom all future
generations of that family to lives OF
poverty. This is the greatest RESPONSE
bility ever laid upon trustee. an ey-
ecutor, banker or an adviser, and no
honest man should assume 1t unless
he is prepared to endure for the sake
of the future all the criticism that may
center upon him on account OF ex-
treme conservatism in the present.

A Chinese PRINTING Office.

The difficulties of making up font
OF Chinese types are very great. Kang
Hsi's dictionary. the standard and
most comprehensive work Of its kind.
contains 4O.S00 characters, but IL has
been found that for all practical pur-
poses font need contain only about
1000. With font of this size the
Chinese printer. in the course Of set
ting up book. will frequently find
that he lacks dozen or SO unusual
characters. a difficulty which he meets
by having these missing symbols hand
cut on blank type by skilled engravers.
Although practically all Chinese news
papers and books on modern topics are
now printed from movable metal type,
books pertaining to old China. such as
the Confucian classics and the com
mentaries on them, are still produced
by the time honored method of print
ing from wooden blocks.

Chiquete. n. T.. in the spring of 1S9O
Before committing the deed the self
murderer, who was named w. X. T..
Jones. dug his own grave and placed a
rough coffin OF his own handiwork at
the bottom. The dirt from the opening
was kept from rolling back into the
excavation by boards held in place by
a trigger TO which string was at
tached. Everything in readiness, the
deliberate Mr.. Jones. as subsequent
developments revealed. got in the cof-
fin, took dose OF poison and then
pulled the string, burying himself be-
meath tons OF earth. This has been
put down as one of the most unique
and successful cases Of self destruction

the contrary. they are all in excellent

the frost. but of old age and natural
causes. 1t is intended TO mount this,
