Ever since the introduction of type setting errors, weird or comical, have emanated from printers' offices. The mistakes are not always to be shoul dered on to - the compositor, for bad handwriting must be taken into ac count. Here are a few instances of actual blunders collected by a proof reader in the course of his daily work: "His blushing bride" was transform ed into "his blustering bride." A major was stated to have "served with destruction In the army." The writer thought he used the word "dis tinction." "The Galley I Love" was the descrip tion of a picture entitled "The Galley Slave." Speaking of theatrical folk, a critic wrote that "nearly all have husbands or wives." The paragraph printed read "hundreds of wives." "They sailed for three days around the cape and finally slaughtered a small Italian" should have been "sighted a small island." One more in conclusion. "He takes delight in talking on his family shame" was a shameful thing to say when "favorite theme" was meant. A Three Legged Bison. In 1S67 Small Eyes, a Blackfoot who had come down from the north and joined the Arapahoes and lived with them, told Black Kettle, a Cheyenne in George Bent's lodge, about having killed, between the. Cimarron and Beaver creek, a tributary of the north fork of the Canadian, a buffalo bull which had only one hind leg. Accord ing to Small Eyes' story, it did not ap pear that the bull had lost one of its hind legs, but rather that it never had had more than one. The hind leg was very large, seemed to be in the mid dle of the body instead of at one side, and there was no sign of any missing leg. It looked as if the two hind legs which the buffalo ordinarily has had in some way fused together. The war party with which Small Eyes was traveling was passing along near a hollow when the bull came up out of it, and some of the men ran ahead, got around it and shot it with a gun. It was not able to run fast. but rather hobbled along.-Forest and Stream. The Chine.e Hoe. The Chinese farmer stands second to rope in all the world. This is all the m ore remarkable since he has really so few implements with which to work the marvels he produces. His only im plements are the hoe, the plow and the harrow. Beyond these the Chinese farmer never dreams of desiring any other. The first of these tools seems never to be on-: of his hands, for it is the one upon ",'hich he relies the most and is his moot effective implement It really takes the place of the spade in England, though the latter is never put to such extensive and,.general uses as the hoe. The Chinaman can do any thing with it but make it speak. A farmer well on in years can easily be recognized amidst a number of work ingmen by the curve his hands have taken from holding the hoe in the many years of toil in his fields. With It, If he is a poor man and has no oxen to plow the ground, he turns up the soil where he is going to plant his rops, and with It he deftly and with a turn of his wrist levels out the sur face so that it is made r dy for the seed. With a broad bladed hoe he dips to the bottom of a stream or of a'pond, draws up the soft mud that has' gath ered there and, with a dexterous swing, flings the dripping hoeful on to his field nearby to increase Its richness by this new deposit-London King. Extract of Knowledge. An article on "Examination Humor" in a periodical called Normal Echoes contains some good "howlers." They are none the less interesting for* com ing from students in training for teach ers. A criticism of William Blake that "as a child he was precocious in po etry, but in later years it developed into dogmatism," is a lesson in the art of being Inarticulate, wtille the remark that "the works of the time were most ly satyrs" Is quaint, though obvious. Of course there is boggling over proper names. There is nothing, indeed, so good as the description of Cromwell as "a man with coarse features and having a large red nose, with deep re ligious convictions beneal:h," or the case of the "lapsed man" who, having *by way of exception attended church, admitted to the rector's wife that ho had benefited, for he had learned that Sodom and Gomorrah were two cities, whereas he had always thought they were man and wife. - Manchester Guardian._____ Fat and Disease. If the Medical Record is right, man is pursuing in tho matter of bodily weight what is bad for him, a cdmmon trick, and woman pines for a phy'sical Ideal that would mean long life if achieved, something rare indeed for women to do. Most men struggle to be fat. Most women diet to be lean. Dr. Brandreth Symonds draws from a study of life insurance weights that people past the age of thirty live long er if below normal weight than they do if at or above standard. Heart dis ease is as rare among the underfat as it is common with the heavy folk, and this is true also of Bright's disease, apoplexy, paralysis, cerebral conges tons and cirrhosis of the liver. Only in pneumonia and tuberculosis do the underweights carry a greater risk. In all the cases which he examined Dr. Symonds found not a single fat man who reached the age of eighty .years, while forty-four short weights passed this mark. The Best Pride. A titled Englishman while In New port talked most entertainingly to a group of ladies about ancestral pride. "Anestral pride Is an excellent thing," he said, "but there are better things. We have long felt In Great Britain that there are better things. I heard the sentiment rather neatly ex pressed Inst season by a duchess. Hers Is a great family, but she was talking to a young marquis whose famhily is Incomparably greater. He Is a rather worthes's, lazy, dissipated young mar quis, and he boasted to the duchess about his people. "'I am very proud of my ancestry, you know,' he ended. "'Yes,' said the duchess, 'and you have cause to be, but I wonder how your ancestry would feel about you?'" Half a League. The class had just' finished reciting "The Charge of the Light Brigade." "Now," said the teacher, "can any one present tell me the meaning of those words, 'Half a league?'" Up shot the hand of Thomas .Tones, aged eleven, football captain and In domitable fullback. "Please, sir, it means they couldn't get enough clubs to make up the full league." Some one had blundered.-Londonl Anears. The Polo St:ar. . Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are known also as the triones and as the Greater Wain and the Lesser Walu. It is curious to note that the larger con stellation was given the figure of the bear by the Arabs and by the Iroquois red men. The assumed! forms are or dinarily fanciful. and the identity of the names in this instance affords food for speculation. Homer uses both bear and wain (wagon) in his references to these stars. It is evident that the name bear was a translation from some original Aryan language, as the constellation is called in Sanskrit riksha, a word that in different Len ders means both a bear and a star. Of course the polar star in the tall of Ursa Minor Is the constellation's point of giory. In this case we may say fairly that the tail wags the dog, because the group of stars was once called the dog's tail, or cynosure. From that we have our word cynosure, that toward which all eyes turn, as to the dog's tail for sight of the pole star.-Mfune apolls Tribune. How Mora Coaxed the Tips. A group of women were standing In the corridor of a summer hotel when an aged scrubwoman started upstairs with a pall of water. Just then a bright faced, buxom Irish chamber maid came up. "This looks purty heavy for the likes of ye," she said cheerily to the old woman. "Better let me help." She took up the paid and whisked off upstairs with it. "How thoughtful of Nora!" "Isn't she kind?" and similar expressions rose to the lips of the women. The proprietor of the hotel and another man also witnessed the incident. "Clever girl, that Nora," said the hotel man to his companion. "She's always doing something like that when there are people looking on. She gets more tips than any two other girls in the house. She could afford to pay me for the privilege of working here. Every summer she makes enough to spend the winter In Idleness at her old home in Ireland."-New York Tribune. Oddities of Color Blindness. Color blindness, or the inability to distinguish certain colors, Is by no means rare. Incomplete color blindness is when a person cannot distinguish one of the fundamental colors, red, green or violet. If a person is told to select colors resembling violet, he will If red blind usually select blues as well as violets. If he is green blind, he will select green or gray, with possibly some blues and violets of the brightest shades. Violet blindness is rare. To a red blind person the American flag ap' pears to have green and white stripes, while the white stars appear on a vio let field. To a green blind person the stripes have the proper colors, but 'the field for the stars Is red violet. To a violet blind person the stripes are nor mal, but the stars appear to be set in a dark brownish gray field. To a person who is totally color blind the blue of the flag appears a light yellowish brown, while the red stripes seem to be a darker brown. An Idol Shattered. Some one has said that people that are fond of hero worship should never make a pilgrimage to see the hiero. Here Is an Instance: An enthusiastic young lady admirer called on her favorite author. In speaking of her visIt she said:. "I'm sorry I saw him. He didn't look at all like an author-no long, wavy hair; no dreamy expression; no eyes fixed on the stars as if to read the secrets of the heavens: no musical, low voice-nothing to suggest the genius. No. I found him leaning oni the garden gate, ln his shirt sleeves, swearing at a grocery boy! And his hair was close cropped, and he looked as If he hadn't shaved in a week.. He was the most terribly human spee~men I ever saw."-Atlanta Constitution The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the Eng lish channe!, and ni.ne out of ten fray: eers would say what was not true. As a mattei' of fact. "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Lulz up to Paullac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadlz to Tan;ier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered li rounding the Cape of Good Hope for tc -'m:stern ports' of Cape Colony. What a Scotsman Wears. A Scottish correspondent, siging himself "Raggis," writes to us as fol lows: Dear Sir--Please state in your column that a Scotsman wears a kilt, not kilts. Thus Harry Lauder went to amuse the king clad in a kilt, not in kilts. We regret to say that we find our selves unable to aeccede to our corre spondent's request. Respect for truth compels us to state that a Scotsman almost Invariably wears neither a kilt nor kilts. but trouaers.-London News, Fiddled Into Office. Losing relates ihat in 1848 he~ met at Oswego, N. Y., Major Cochran,,then nearly eighty yeairs old, a son-in-law of General Philip Schuyler, who told the story of his election to congress during the administration of the elder Adams. A vessel was to be launched on one of the lakes In InterIor New York, and people came from afar to see It. The young folks gathered there, determined to have a dance at night. There was a fiddle, but no fiddler. Young C:>chran was an ama teur performer, and his services were demanded. He grati-fied the joyous copany, and at the supper table one of the gentlemen remarked, in comn medation of his talents, that he was "fit for congress." The matter was talked up, and be was nominated and elected a representative in congress for the district thea comprising the whole of New York west of Schenec tad. He always claimed to" have "fiddled himself into congress." A Hindrance. Suburbanite-Yo)u are half an' hour late this morning. Letter Carrier-Yes, ma'amn.

Simon Turple was an elo quent speaker, but he seemed to have at a list of sermons which, when he onee began, he went right through to the la end and then started at the first ser- hi mon again, and so on. w A young man In the congregation tr was about to leave for South Afz's, el but the Sunday before he departed he si attended the church service. b< In the course of his lecture the min- li later used an illustration in which were do the words, "A man can easily purchase cc two sparrows for threepence." w The young man, after being absent be for about three years, returned and (o again on the first opportunity attended b divine service. Strange to say, he pi heard the same narrative by the same si minister, the phrase striking him most te being about the "two sparrows for m threepence." of At the close of the service the win- at Ister, in his courtesy, came and shook m hands with the youth and, welcoming him back to his home, asked him if he noticed any changes about the place. ed The young man, evidently quite un- R concerned, replied, "Aye, man, there's two or three changes, but there's yin in thing I can see-the price o' sparrows R, is aye at the same auld flgger."-Glas- w gow News. ci er New Use For Wheelbarrows. m Mrs. Zella Nuttall, the archaeologist. f] was making some excavations in Mex- w ico.

This method w seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut- tb tall, so she ordered several iron wheel- p1 barrows from the city. When they tb arrived she turned them over to the sa foreman after explaining to him what fa they were for and how to use them. D Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their primi tive parihuelas and were using the bright new wheelbarrows. As each barrow was filled with earth it was picked up by two Indians, one using H the handles and the other the wheel, and carried to the place where the c earth was to be deposited. All efforts ni to get the Indians to use the wheel- fc barrows properly failed, and they kept d on carrying them until the work was Pe finished. Alphabet of the Playhouse. at "We keep learning things all the * time," said an infrequent theater goer. "I stopped In front of a theater the i other day to buy a ticket of a specu lator, and I asked him if he had a good d sLagle near the front. d "'Here's one In 0,' he said, 'thir- Pa teenth row, third seat from the aisle.' hi "Now, you know, I don't carry the it relative positions of the letters of the g alphabet in my mind all the time.
