r
Tho now government printing ofllce
Is approaching completion and will bo
a gigantic affair, writes Itctio Uaehc,
tho well-known Washington corre
spondent. It will cost $2,000,000, and
will provide a totnl Uoor spneo of over
fourteen acres -more than two and a
half times the lloor area available In
tho present establishment. As yet tho
building Is entirely coverod with scaf
folding, but It Ih substantially llnlslicd,
except for tho Interior woodwork and
painting. It will be tho greatest print
ing shop In tho world, employing tho
services of nearly 4,000 people. Accu
rately speaking, 11,889 persons will toll
under Its mighty roof, nearly 1,000 of
them being women and girls. Each
year It will expend the enormous sum
of $4,000,000, nearly three-fourths of It
for labor, nnd In Its main composing
room 824 printers will bo engaged In
sticking typo. Eight hundred and
eighty-live employes will bo occupied
In binding the books and documents
produced, and an additional 005 will
do nothing but fold the printed sheets.
Figures like thesu give a notion of
the gigantic scale on which the shop
will be conducted. Each twelvemonth
It will consume for bindings the skins
of 30,000 sheep and 11,000 gouts, In ad
dition to 75,000 square feut of "llussln
leather," made from cowhide. It will
use up In n llko period 8,000 tons of
white paper, 40,000 pounds of printing
Ink and .'17,000 pounds of glue, together
with 7,000 pounds of thread for sewing
books and pamphlets, and 1,000 packs
of gold leaf for the titles of volumes
do luxe.
Ono hundred and twenty-seven
presses will bo constantly In opera
tion In tho great building, their total
output In a working tiny of eight hours
being Just about 1,000,000 Impressions.
Theso presses aro of every conceivable
kind, one of them being capable of
printing cards on both sides from" a
web of brlstol-boanl at the rate of ((.",
000 cards per hour, whllo four other
machines turn out 40,000 printed en
velopes every sixty minutes. Tho iiiinn
tlty of typo actually employed will bo
approximately 1,500,000 pounds, or 750
tons.
No other government spends any
thing llko the amount of money on
public printing that Is siiuaudered by
Uncle .Sam. In this particular Congress
Is always disposed to a reckless ex
travagance, ami hence the lingo size
of tho plant required. 1'dbllc documents
n ro an Important perquisite of Sena
tors and Representatives, who scatter
them broadcast among their constitu
ents. One hundred tons of a single re
port now In press will bo Issued and
distributed In this manner, and tho
total number of volumes of various
kinds of literature turned out by tho
olllco In a twelvemonth Is about 1,000,
000, representing a total cost of some
what more than $1,000,000.
Nowadays government books, llko
other kinds of publications, require Il
lustrations, and the cost of theso ran
up to about $:i00,000 last year. It Is
safe to say that ten years from now
Undo Ham's printing shop will spend
pretty nearly half a million dollars for
pictures. Tho most costly Illustrations
are for tho reports for tho Department
of Agriculture and tho bulletins of tho
liureau of Ethnology, many of these
being In colors. Each bureau furnishes
Its own pictures, but tie printing olllco
has them reproduced by llrms In Hus
ton, New York and elsewhere. These
linns print the Illustrations and return
them to Washington, ready to bo
bound with the text.
Tho most Important Job the big shop
lias to execute Is tho printing of tho
Congressional ltooord. 'Ibis dally news
paper, which records nothing but tho
doings of tho National legislature, Ih
written from beginning to end by the
olllclnl reporters of tho House and Sen
ate, who take down In shorthand every
word that Is said at either end of tho
Capitol. They dlctato from their notes
to typewriters, and the material thus
reduced to typescript Is sent over to
tho printing otllces In batches by mes
sengers. Tho lteconl Is ready for dis
tribution early next morning. Ono hun
dred compositors nro employed exclu
sively In the business of setting typo
for It, one department of the printing
olllco being devoted exclusively to this
publication, which Is "set up" and sent
to press Just like any newspaper, being
delivered every day to about 0,000 sub
scribers. Each representative In Con
gress gets 22 copies dally, while a Sen
ator Is entitled to 42. Anybody may
subscribe, the price- being $1.50 a
month; but tho paper Is not directly
protltable to Uncle Sam, Inasmuch as It
costs $125,000 a yenr.
Tho printing of bills Is another Im
portant feature of the work of the es
tablishment. Though only a few hun
dred of the measures submitted to Con
gress In a year become laws, millions
of copies of them have to be printed.
A bill must go through a great many
phases, before It can become a law, nnd
timing the process of Its evolution It
bus to bo printed again and again per
haps dozens of times. If dually passed,
n single copy of It Is printed on tho
llnest parchment, and this goes to Pros
Ideut Itoosevelt for bis signature.

CURIOUS SALT DEPOSITS.
laai3HaM-
One of the unique sights of Cnllfonila Is the remarkable Salt deposits nt
Snlton. This region lies In a depression some 300 feet below sea level, and Is
thought at one time to hare been the bed of an ancient sea or lake. The tract
of In ml looks llko a vast snow field.
Tho rock salt deposits cover about 1,000 acres, and are now worked for com
mercial purposes. The output from this place Is about 2,000 tons of salt annually,
valued at from $0 to $34 per ton. The labor Is done chiefly by Indians, who are
able to withstand the intense heat of tho desert (running up to 150 degrees in
June) better than the white men.
The method employed Is as follow: The salt Is first collected by a peculiar
plough having four wheels, In the renter of which sits an Indian to guide It.
This Is run by a cable from a distant dummy engine. This machine cuts a broad
and shallow furrow eight feet wide nnd three "feet long, throwing up the ridges
on both sides. Indians follow in tho wake of the plough with hoes and pile up
the salt In pyramids.
Then nnd thcro tho "Spellbinders'
trust" was formed. The coming cam
paign nnd tho probablo amount of
speaking tbnt would bo required wero
discussed at length, nnd then tho mem
bers of tho trust drifted Into anec
dotes of tho stump.
Charles Llttlollcld, of Mnlnn, led off.
"I'm going to toll ono on myself," said
be, and soon ho had a largo nnd In
creasing nudlenco, Including pages and
doorkeepers. Mr. Llttloilcld's voice, It
must lie remembered, Is famous from
Seattlo to Eastport, nnd his constitu
ents In Mnlno Insist that they can hear
tho rumbling when ho spenks In tho
House.
"It wns up In Huffulo In tho '00 cam
paign." ho continued. "A local lawyer
ami 1 had been assigned to n big meet
ing over on tho tough sldo of tho city.
The local man, who wns evidently mak
ing his first campaign nppearanco, wns
Introduced first, nnd proceeded to draw
from bis lusldo pocket n manuscript,
from which ho started to rend.
"It was n pretty lutrd crowd, taken
all together, but nt tho snme time tboy
wero n bright lot nnd up-to-date. My
friend read on for somo twenty min
utes under groat difficulty, nnd then
tho crowd began to cheer nnd shout In
derision. Nothing llko. this, howevor,
could stop him. All kinds of questions
wero tired nt him, but ho paid no atten
tion and continued to rend off long lists
of statistics. At Inst tho chairman of
tho meeting signaled tho lender of tho
band to start tip. Tho band played
'Home, Sweet Home,' as n gcnllo hint,
but tho speaker only waited until It
finished and then continued. At tho
end of an hour of tho worst rot I ever
beard, my nmbltlous friend closed In
what he thought was a blazo of glory.
" Three cheers for tho speaker for
finishing!" somo ono yelled.
"Tho cheers wero given, nnd then I
wns Introduced. It was n tough prop
osition, but I Jollied along with tho
crowd for somo fifteen minutes, nnd
then launched Into what I thought was
my best lino of tnlk. I finished nil
right, nnd tho chairman said I had
made a hit.
"In driving to the hotel nfter tho
meeting tho local speaker said to mo:
'Mr. Llttlelleld. If I only had your.
voice, with what I have to say, I
would bo a wonder.' "
Just then it roll call was announced
and tho trust adjourned. Washington

HAS SOUVENIR OF KING.
It la Only n Croat of llrcud, tint Chi
vuko Woiiiuii I'rl'ca It lllulily,
A unique souvenir of the banquet
given at tho ltlchmoud House In Chi
cago In 1SH0 to tho I'rlnce of Wales,
now Kins Edwnrd VII., Is possessed
by Mrs. Charles Hunt, of this city.
Mrs. Hunt Is the mother of Mrs, Moses
J. Wentworih, wife of the nephew of
"Long John" Wentwortb, Mayor of thu
city at tho tlino of tho Prince's visit.
Mr. Hunt was City Treasurer then,
nnd ho and his wlfo were living tit the
Ulchmond Houe. In deferenco to tho
hotel's distinguished guest they gave
up their suite" of rooms for his use. Af
ter thu guests hud left the dining room
at tho closo of tho banquet Mr. Hunt
went In with it number of others out
of curiosity.
Seeing others seeking souvenirs, nnd
thinking that, as he(and his wlfo had
given up their rooms to tho Prince they
wero especlnlly entitled to a souvenir,
Mr, Hunt took it small pleco of toast
from tho Prince's plate. He placed It
In a little box nnd presented It to his
lfo "as n present from tho Prince."
Sho bns carefully kept the crust, and
It Is In an excellent state of preserva
tion, n little harder to bite, however,
than It was 42 yeiys ago.
In connection with tho Prince's toast
Mrs. Moses J. Wentwortb tells nn an
ecdote. It bcems tho Prince wns not
reeling well on tho night of tho ban
quet. Ho had so little appetite that n
pleco of toast was about all he cared to
eat. Having satisfied his slender ap
petite, and been at the tnblo as loug as
ho wished, ho announced, as Is usual
with royalty on such occasions, "I hnvo
finished." This was the signal for all
persons nt the tablo to quit eat lug. rise
and then follow the Prluce from the
table.
Now It happened that "Dong John"
Wentwortb, tho Mayor, was a good
deal hungrier on this occasion than tho
Prlnco was. He had started In to eat
BoauXfelng of "meal," when the
,jismp
Trlnco's announcement, "I have fin
ished," Interrupted him.
"Well, I have not finished," ho ex
claimed, In n tono of good-nntured but
Injured protest. However, ho nroso
with tho rest nnd left tho tnblo. Hut
ho nftcrwnrd told ono of his friends
that ho took ndvnntngo of the first op
portunity to "skip oft by himself" nnd
get something moro to eat. Chicago

In Pcckhnin upon an annual tenancy,

Sho was allowed to enter without' any
prepayment, nnd on tho 25th of Mnrch
six months, 11), was demanded, ono

Anecdotes of tho Queen's Girlhood.
Mrs. Sarah Tooley, In her recently
published "I.I(o of Queen Alexnudra,"
tells somo very Interesting nnecdotes of
her majesty. As n child tho Queen's
surroundings wero exceedingly simple.
"Mamma," said tho llttlo Princess ono
duy, "why may not Dngmar and I wear
muslin dresses?" "Hecnuse," replied
her mother, "your father Is not n rich
man, and muslin dresses cost so much
to get up." There wero not many serv
ants at tho Gulo Paints, whero tho
Queen's early llfo was spent, nnd tho
young Princesses wero required to dust
their own rooms nnd to muko them
selves useful nt meal times. A gentle
man who wns Invited one day to par
take of tho Informal family luncbeou
nt tho Points recalls that tho butter
dish chanced to need replenishing, and
the Princess Loulso (of Denmark), In
stead of summoning n servant, turned
to her eldest daughter and said: "Al
exandra, will you fetch somo moro but
ter?" And tho future Queen of Eng
land departed on tho homely errand to
tho larder.

Tim following conversation Is said
to bavo taken place between two Iloer
leaders when It was first announced
that the Australians wero sending a
contingent to South Africa: "I see,"
said one, "that somo people called Aus
tralians are coming over hero. Do you
know anything about them?" "Not
much," was tho reply, "but I hear that
eleven of them beat All England a yenr
or two ago." "Good heavens," cried tho
first "nnd they s,ny tbnt flvo thousand
of them hre coming hero!"

Tho matter of kin settles whether a
