CHINESE PRINTING. 'Queer Old Ancient Methods Are Still Used by Many Natives. Chinese hold that the art of printing was discovered in China about fifty years before (he Christian era. Until the discovery of the art of paper mak ing, A. 1). 95, they printed on silk or cloth cut in the form of leaves. The uethod employed to this day by many native Chinese printers is substantially as follows: No printilig press is used. The deli catQ nature of (he Citinese paper will inot Admit of it. Wlien (lie blocks are engrnved, (the pnper is cut and tle ink is ready one mian with his brush prints a large nuinher of sheets In a day. The block to be printed must be pliced perfectly level and secured firmly. The printer has l wo brushes, one of them stifler than the other, which he can hold in his hand and use at either end. lie dips It Into the Ink and rubs the block with it, taking care not to moisten it too much or leave it too dry. Itf it wa-r wetted too mlich the characters would be blurred; if too little they would not print. When once the block is got into tlie proper conidithn le enn c 'print three or four impressions without dipping the brush Into the ink again. The second brush is used to rub over the paper with a small degree of pre sure that it may take the impression. This It (oes easily, for, not being sized with alum, It receives the Ink the In stant it comes in contact with It. It Is only necessary that the brush should be passed over every part of the sheet with a greater or smaller de grve of pressure and repeated lin pro portion as the printer finds there is more or less Ink upon the block.-Los Angeles Times. THREE RACIAL INSTINCTS. One Reason, Perhaps, For the Interest Taken In Baseball. how shall we explain the absorb. lug interest lin baseball and football? In baseball we have a game comiilning three of the most deep seated racinl In stincts-tie lustinct to tiro'w, to riun mzial to strike. Iuring untold periods of the life history of our rce survivl: has coie I4 l hint who could lhr w the straightest, run the swiftest and strike the hardest. To throw something at something is nhiabst as natural for a boy 1.s to breatie. Throwlng, hal lIng. running, are no longer of any service in this age of muinl, but they were the conditions of survival in the (istit Iist. Ibiseball reinstates those anilent attitudes and brings a thrill of cherished1 mneniories. Any one who has ever held it lat in hand and 11551itmed the exliectlaant attI tude of the batter knows the p~ecullar thrill wh'ich Is exptalined only by re calling that his distant ancesors in just (lint ultitude hent down with ia rel club many an opposing foe, wheth er man or heast, anti those who held ('ilus in tiIs Iosition and struck hard quickly survived andI' transmitted this instlinet. rthe awkward throw of girls, like the left arm throw of boys, Is widely known.

WISHING AND GETTING. An Old Man's Realized Day Dream and the Moral It Teaches. They had started in the most primi tive way, the man and his wife, back in the little log house, but they were dreaming of the day when they would own a farm of their own and not have to work so hard. After a time their hard toll was rewarded, and they own ed i farm. Then it seemed desirable to add to this tract, and they worked a little harder. A new house seemed a necessary accompaniment to the large farm, so the work could not stop. A son came to the age when lie must be educated and have his chance in life, and they toiled on. All the time the old man dreamed of the days ahead when he could stop work and take life easy. Somehow the days did not come, or lie did not recognize them when they came, for he kept on working un tii lie had grown old and worn. Then his health failed. and he had to stop work. The son for whom they had given precious years otat of their lives now showed his gratitude by his gentle, un. falling love and care. It seemed to others that the goal had been reached that the old nian could now enjoy life, surrounded as lie Wa13 by every coim. fort and attention. But lie was quiet and sad, sitting with head bowed on his toll worn hands. A neighbor, stopping in for a little visit, asked, "I1ow are you getting along, grandpa?" Then the secret of all his sadness burst forth as he an swered earnestly, "Oh, if I could only get out and work!" What queer things our dreams are after all!-Indianapolis News. PRETTY ROUGH SPORT. The Game of "the Bounding Brothers of the Bosporus." Many extraordinary forms of amuse ment have been devised by army ofll cers from the earliest times down to the present (lay, hut none perhaps have more startling chnracteristies than the following new aid original game, which Sir itohert 1Baden-Powel describes In "Memories of India:" It was introduced into the mess by a brother of our colonel, who came to stay with him. We believed hini to be it qluet, harmless planter fron lehar, and so lie seemed throughout the even ing, both during and after dinner, when lie remained wateiiig us play ing the fool in various ways for our own amusement. But evideitly our ways did not strike him s original, and lie therefore Invited us to play the great game of the bounding iroth ers of the Ilosporus, and when lie had once shown us we joined most heart ily in the sport. The game had few rules, but a cer, tain amount of etiquette. The ip i'aratus consisted of all the furniture, which was piled in n heap near the center of the room, and a writing ta ble. wlieh was plnced a couple of yards from It. You were expected then to clap your hands three times that was the etiquette of the gam& 1then run at the tilei and turn heels over head on It into the pile of fur niture, shouting as you did so, "I am i bounding brother of the Ilosporus!" That wIs all. It was quite simple, but how It hurt when you landed on the upturned legs of i chair or the side of a table! Ada Rehan's Bandsman.
