PRINTING IN CHINA.
Often No Presses Are Used, a Pair Of
Brushes Doing the Work.


The Chinese assert that the art of
printing was discovered in China about
fifty years before the Christian era.
Until the discovery of the art OF pa
permaking, A. ID. 95, they printed on
silk or cloth cut in the form of leaves.
The method employed to this day by
many native Chinese printers is as
follows
No printing press is used. The deli
cate nature OF the Chinese paper would
not admit of it. When the blocks are
engraved. the paper cut and the ink
ready one man with his brush will
print a large number of sheets in
day.
The block TO be printed must be plac.
ed perfectly level and secured firmly.
The printer has two brushes, one of
them sitter than the other which he
can hold in his hand and use at either
end
He dips it into the ink and rubs the
block with it, taking care not to mois-
ten it too much or leave 1t too dry. If
It were wetted too much the characters
would be blurred; il too little, they
would not print When once the block
is got into the proper condition he can
print three or four Impressions with
out dipping his brush into the ink
again.
The second brush is used TO rub over
the paper with n small degree of pres.
sure. that it may take the impression.
This 1t does easily. for, not being sized
with alum, it receives the ink the in
slant it comes in contact with IL. Ii
Is only necessary that the brush should
be passed over every part of the sheet
with greater or smaller degree of
pressure and repeated in proportion
ms the printer finds there is more or
less ink upon the block.-Harper's
Weekly.

String on His FINGER.

There is no doubt that the tying of
n piece OF string round the finger is a
really good aid TO a poor memory. but
there is a well authenticated case of a
imam who tied a piece of cotton around
his finger in the morning to remind
him TO get his hair cut.
On the way home TO dinner that
evening he noticed the piece of cotton.
"Oh. yes. remember" he said.
And, smiling proudly. he entered the
accustomed shop and sat down before
the tonsorial operator.
