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.

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:

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

rthe awkward throw of girls, like the
left arm throw of boys, Is widely
known. The plays of girls reveal their
own set of instincts recnlling the hab

ants of those men who coild throw
and those women who loved (hiblren."

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!"

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!

There has been a nation-wide
