! QRE^ ? I Ufa ? flu @ ? ? is J/ ? IV ' THE JAPANESE PRINTER. He Has Troubles of His Own In His J Composing Room. If the typesetters of the western world have their troubles they are as nothing compared with those of the Japanese composing room. The Japanese, like their breth- ! ren, the Chinese, employ a written language?what might be called a literary dialect?that is quite dif- ! ferent from the colloquial tongue, i In other words, they do not. as we, , write as they speak. This proceeding requires the printing of their | Journals in two laagua.'o^. the "KaT>n" Uiul tl>?? .niwr,. .il;l I-Jll-IIMS S?*rv- I XIX* CUiU VA*V? v^MUftv ing as a key to the other. These j square characters are modeled on j Chinese ideographs, a jumble of 1 geometric figures, crosses, etc., pre- j senting a picturesque zigzag effest. i There are 4,000 to 5,000 of these ! ideographs in everyday use. The j compositor must therefore be some- J thing of a scholar, in the oriental , sense, to be able to recognize the | characters at sight. In order to facilitate his task as much as possible the arrangement of his workroom is something like this: The compositor seats himself at a little table, upon which are spread forty-seven Kana ' characters. As he receives copy he cuts it into small strips, handing each strip to a boy. This boy marches along the room until he baa finally been able to collect from a number of cases arranged in files down the room the different ideographs desired. About six or seven boys are thus employed ] A1 in ue average tfajmucao cvui)A?uig room running hither and thither. As they go their rounds in search of the ideographs they keep up a dirgelike chant, which would certainly be very trying to the nerves of any but an oriental. When the boys have collected all their ideographs they place them before the compositor, who then has recourse to a pair of goggles in order to decipher the characters, fish out the corresponding types in the Kana character and finally set up the whole for proving. The proofs are sung aloud by (me reader to another, thus adding to the confusion of weird sounds already i reigning in the room.?New York ! Tribune. | A Scheme That Failed. "Did you hear about Samuels?" ' asked Mrs. Gray mare's husband. "No, I didn't hear about Samuels," the lady answered. "When you have anything to tell why don't you tell it ?" 'Yes, dear. Well, Samuels was going home the other night when a footpad shot at him, and the ball hit a latchkey in Samuels' vest pocket, and his life was saved. So you see what good a latchkey is." "Indeed I If Samuels had been going home at a reasonable hour he wouldn't have met any footpad; second, he carries ?2,000 insurance, payable to his wife, and if it had it not been for that key she would be a rich widow now. So if you are hunting around for a latchkey you will have to bring home some better story than that one; that's all. I'm going to bed now, and out goes the gas in two ticks. Latchkey, indeed!"?London Globe. WWYVVVVVWVVVwVIVTVTY To Our We than AMAAAMMMMAMAMAAMM ? ? @;?;?.?.?.?.?.?.? \7 VAI .i r>T KKcElY Shall No! i%T nnm ir iiMVJ^ 1 Kt RAILWAY MAIL KLERKS WANTED.
