The next day I sat in my ^library,
readinglui Inatruotive volume entitled
" Enigmas of Life." The doox; was
thrown open, and a bouncing, bewilder

study-chair, followed by Bridget, with
the thunders of Olympus on her brow,

Among the most amusing things In
newspapers are the blunders which the
intelligent compositors, ably assisted by
careless editing and sleepy proof-read
ers, frequently luge in by the ear. The
most carefully edited journal Is fallible
in this direction. Proof -readers eons
stantly in hot water. In the London
times’ office they are fined for every
