' 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"

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 ]

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 !

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.
