NEW STYLE OF PRISrING.-A Wisconsin paper
the Janesville Adrocatc-has the following:


"1fprnters and publishers would only have tn
e independence to adopt new style of printing,
twould not only create revolution in the art, an
d break up the monotony of the old mode, but W
ould save from twenty-five to seventy y-ive per cen
t, of the expense and labor of setting mp matter
or books and papers. Every compositor knows
hat the time consumed in spacing out lines is often
nearly much as that taken in setting them up,
and there can be no doubt but that the lines can
be much more easily justified. Let any type sett
er try the experiment just for few sticks full an
d he will be convinced of the advantage of this m
ethod. And this advantage would not be conine
q altogether to the compositer. In making up tn
c form the dropping off of hyphens from the end
of the lines is constant annoyance, very frequen
tly getting misplaced, when picked up from the
IMPOSING stone, and often getting under the form,
causing much trouble.


It's a matter that the writer OF this has long til
ought of, but knowing the ridicule to which an in
novator subjects himself from the craft, and the
ificulty of breaking in upon old established rules,
he has hesitated for many years form publishing
hese views, and even now has no confidence that
they will meet with appreciation. II has the look
at least of being illterate; simply foolish novelt
Y, of no practical importance. But it would be TO
und on trial, if trial were ventured upon, to be
such saving of labor, such real improvement IN
the art of printing, that printers and publishers
ouid be forced to adopt it, and in short time We
uld wonder they had not thought of it before.


But it is no matter of theory simply, but m
after ofpractice, and if every compostor who rea
DIS this, will give the experiment fair trial, we
hall be saved the necessity of writing single arg

If amendments are in order we would suggest
that the trouble of making the lines of uniform

When they tlhus go out to ride


May hc there to


We have been led to these remarks by seeing
in Flakes Bulletin an account of the discussion
in England, as to whether women should ride
astride or not, and by perusing some of the
editors comments, which amusing enough,
on the subject at issue. He says:


with the discussion of the question we are
not particularly interested, but we arc n little
amused at the line the argumen: is taking. AL
most all the social questions relating to women
take some general path of argument, and logi-
clans base their conclusions upon the same
general premises-wOmen 5 right to vote, to wear
short pettcoats to ride astride to hold Office to
practice medicine, to plead at the bar, to preach
in the pul pit and to enjoy the.broadest masculine
liberty-are all argued upon the same principles
and in the same way Once upon time, the
story books say, a Spanish courticr, meaning to
say something pretty to his Queen, complimented
her on the beauty of her feet and of her grace in
dancing the national Bolcro, in which, as every
dancer knows, not only the feet but the limbs
themselves are rather prominently manifested
Her Majesty received this compliment with a
whitening frown, and rctorted: The Queen of
Spain has feet The modern lady, like the
Queen of Spain, is composed Of dress and inGo-
lence. Herein lies the difficulty; the devotees
of fashion and Incidence refusing to perform the
duties that heaven imposes on them fill up the
vacuum their own idleness creates with insatiate
longings for some power or privilege incom-
patible with their nature. Fashion and custom
prescribed idleness, and old cloyen foot finds
some mischief still for idle hands to do. 1t is
perfectly easy to prove, by abstract argument,
that woman has the right to vote, to hold Office,
to ride astride and to do any other absurd, thing
that the modern strong-minded long for. But it
would be a more difficult matter to prove that
these things were compatible with the duties
that God has imposed upon her. We have
noticed that those women who discharge their
proper duties best care TIE least about dscharg-
ing those they have not. When we hear of
woman hankerng after the right to rule the ma
ton, we always wonder if she can rule her own
household. When woman wants to ride astrde,
it is because she lacks grace and skill enough to
ride as becomes her and when she wants to
rule with the ballot, it is because she has neither
the fascination of person, nor of mind, necessary
to rule as God intended. We may be amused at
the whimsicalitieS of q farce-otherwise they are
without interest. 1t is very hard TO prove on
these abstract principles that woman has no
right to vote and it is equally easy to prove
that she has the absolute and inherent right
not only to ride astride, but to TO fires, chop
wood stand up in railroad cars smoke cigars
and do and perform all the other ugly tricks
that masculine humanity is wont to practice"
