CHINESE PRINTING. Th, Compositors Are Staid and Dignified and Never Rush. A font of type in the Chinese language requires 11,000 spaces, and In the large and spacious rack each word. Instead of each tetter, as In English, has a place by itself. There Is also a peculiar grouping or classification of symbols into groups to further facilitate the mental labors of the typesetters. Thus in the immediate vicinity of the symbol for fish would be found the symbols of scales, net, fins, tail, gills. This simplifies the labor, which in any event must be so strenuous that it is evident that the compositor’s end of the Chinese newspaper should, if perfect justice ruled, be the highest paid. The compositor Is a staid and dignified individual, and as he slowly walks from symbol to symbol, picking up those which he requires with provoking calmness, the American compositor | might well wonder when the work 1 would be completed, and to set up the

type required for a small four "page dally paper the constant labors of eight or nine skilled Chinamen are required for twelve or thirteen hours, the entire work in every department being the antipodes of the rush and whirl and marvelous celerity of the modern American publication. H, Obeyed Order,. Old world domestics make the best possible servants because they work like machines, never forgetting an order and doing exactly as they are told, without presuming to think for themselves. But once In awhile this literal adherence to duty produces some awkward results. An American woman living In India, with native servants, once told her butler to see that there was always a napkin at the bottom of the fruit dish, cake basket, etc., when these were brought to the table. The napkin was thereafter always seen In its place. But one day a tureen of vegetable soup was served, and the hostess began to wield the long, old fashioned silver ladle about in it.

— ■ — ——■———■———— Something very like a fringed rag made its appearance In the first plateful. The butler was summoned to remove the dish, "It cannot be that the mem sahib found no napkin at the bottom,” he hazarded, much distressed because of this unexplained disapproval, “for I myself placed there the largest one I could find." Presenting Arms to a Cat. About the middle of the last century • very high English official died In a fortress at a place that Is one of the centers of Brahmanic orthodoxy, and at the moment when the news of his death reached the sepoy guard at the main gate a black cat rushed out of It. The guard presented arms to the cat as a salute to the flying spirit of the powerful Englishman, and the coincidence took so firm a hold of the locality that up to a few years ago neither exhortation or orders could prevent a Hindoo sentry at that gate from presenting arms to any cat that passed out at night.—Bombay Times.
