hvì .;- ìi < A CHINES K PiilN TIN G OFFICE. How John Goes t<» W ork to S e t His 1 ype and P rint ¡Risalieel. One of the most interestin': pla ces in Pekin is a Chinese printing office, conducted ju t as it Wj,s centuries beiore the bfirbarous world outside the flowery empire had dreamed of the art of typo graphy. The oflice contained a score of plain square tables, on which were spread out, much ab ler the English method, on!v ta king up much more room, says tin- New York Tribune. One man was cng'-guo m setting tip type*, another was printing, 1 lie form er stood before a table on which was what may be called the Ohi nese **form.” It was a solid block of wood about twenty two inches long by fifteen inches broad, and pernaps three inches deep. The inside was hollowed out to a depth of about a quarter of an inch, this depression being still further hol lowed out into grooves about three quarters of an inch deep. The block has twenty-nine of these grooves, each filled to the depth of a quarter of an inch with ordi nary stiff clay. With his copy before him, armed with a small pair of iron pincers, the compositor began his work; character after character was transferred from the case and firm ly pr ssed into the clay. When the form was complete a flat board was placed on the top and the characters pressed perfectly even and level with the surface, and the wooden edge was cut to form the bolder found around every Chinese page. The printer now received the form and carefully brushed the ink over the type. Taking a sheet of paper, he pressed it down all over the form so that it might be brought in contact with every character. He then removed (he sheet and examined each charac ter, carefully adjusting those which were not quite straight with the pincets, and apparently never touching the type with his fingers. After sufficient copies had been struck off the type was distributed, each character being returned to its particular box. The type in the form was of (hive sizes, each character being kept in place entirely by the clay in which it stood. They were cut out of some hard wood, and were per fectly square. William Allen But!er, the au thor of ‘‘Nothing to Wear,” and senior of the law firm to which belongs Messrs. Stiiiman and Hub bard, who are the trustees in the Hopkins-Searles will controversy, is supposed by several New Eng land journals to be a son of Gen. B. F. Butler. But he is the son of the Benjamin F. Butler who, 60 years ago, was attorney gener al of New York. 3 \ C3-. B - A J E E 3 , ATTORNEY & COUNSELOR AT LAW. J. © W A M S U 5 Y . CHOTEAU.
