It is a well known fact that every error in a newspaper is laid to the door of the compositor, and the be lief is common that the errors are made through ignorance. So wide spread is this opinion that that indi vidual has come to be called in a spirit of irony the i. c., meaning the intelligent compositor. The opinion thus generally held is, however, probably erroneous. There are many reasons to believe that when the com positor makes a blunder he does so as a joke. All compositors are jokers there is no doubt about that. The only objection to this theory is that the" blunders they make are some times unique and original, while their ordinary jokes are as old as the pro verbial towel they wipe their hands on. A person would naturally im agine that a compositor on a news paper would sometimes, b mistakes, pick up a few new puns and joke3 from the copy that passes through his hands, but such is not the case. A compositor would scorn to originate a joke, much less to appropriate a new one. There is a lurking impres sion that the choice wit of the circas and the minstrel show is often re plenished from the stock of the com positor. Sometimes a compositor disappear. His friends say that he has gone on a tramp, but there is evidence to the effect that he often secures a position as a clown or an end man at an exorbitant salary. There is a certain printing olticc in this citj where the compositors aro more than usually frisky and humor ous. By exercising great care and much perseverance they have suc ceeded in collecting together a large ntunber of jokes and witty savings that have stood the wear and tear of time, and are still in their old age hale and hearty. A few samples will prove the truth of this assertion. When a stranger walks through the room one compositor will say to anether: "John, look at Blila's horse." Then all the compositors will look likewise and laugh. That all hands laugh is evidence that it is a joke ; and that the oldest man at the caso cannot tell its meaning is good proof that it was originated many centuries ago and its significance has become obsolete. If tlie stranger has a spark of curi osity about him he will be struck by the display of wit and will stop to hear more" After awhile the young est compositor will make a remark when a half dozen will cry eut: "Washington!" This is supposed to be a sidesplit ting joke and to have some reference to tlie fatiicr of his country, and per haps to the little hatchet. Then some one will remark : "Did vou hear about the ship wreck?"" "No, how was that?" each man will cry out in chorus. "Why a dog was run over by a street car." "How do you make a shipwreck out of that, Louis?" "Whv, it's a bark I03L don't vou see?" After the vociferous laugh has sub sided silence will prevail for a short time when a voice will be heard to say: "I've got a frightful hard job." "What is that?" "Wheeling West Virginia." "There's lots of fun Taunton, Mass achusetts." Another voice will say, "I am hard at work Heading Pennsylvania." "But the most difficult understand ing boys, is 'Macon Georgia,' " will come from different part of the room. Presently the telegraph editor will come to the door with the oil market and en eut: "Oil"!" "llight will come from a dozen throats. These specimens are enough to show the drift of conversation, which is practically the same from day to day. There is a well preserved legend that a feeble and emaciated old joke once crept slowly up the stairs to a printing office and entered the com posing room. "Who are you?" said the foreman. "I, sir," said the old joke, "am a weary wanderer. I have heard of your haven for my kind and I long to bo taken in and cared for." "Where were you last?" asked the compositors, suspiciously. "I last served in an almanac, where I had been for many years." "You must bo a young fellow. We have no use for you here." "That was only my last place, sirs. I have been in many climes and over many seas. The first trip I took was with Noah in the Ark." "That will do, they cried in a chorus, "come to my arms," and they all made a rush for the old joke and nearly smothered him with kisses and caresses. Then they placed him in the front row of their collection, where ho has been in con stant uEe ever since. .Hens as Gold Hunters. The Nevada gold-seekers have dis covered a new use for fowls. It is a common sight there to see men and women carrying a hen under one arm and a basket of chickens under the other. When they reach their destination the hens are picketed, and, being already hungry, begin to scratch and eat. After two or three days honest toil they are killed and their craws examined for gold. As much as $8 has been found in one craw. The EsotNIIcal Prayer. It is said that "prayer is the heart's sincere desire, uttered or unex pressed." I have heard prayer, how ever, that sounded more like an in troduction of the i.uppliant to the throne of uraer. There used to be an old gentleman in Maine, years ago, whose prayers were mostly an auto biography His custom generally was to stand up while wrestling in prayer close his cjt'S tight, hang on to the pew in front of him, and then begin to tell the Lord his family atTuirs. I do not know whether he still lives or whether he has gone to his reward. Occasionally he would construct the usual piazza to his prayer and then open out with this sentence: "We would not wish to dictate, Lord but we would humbly suggest." He wanted to be courteous, but at the same time he wished to show that he was a man of influence in his own locality. In Wyoming, there was a lady who used to have a large amount of re sponsibility on her shoulders. She considered" herself a kind of assistant general superintendent of the uni verse and rather congratulated her self on her fluency in prayer. She never addressed the throne of grace without doing so grammatically, and her gestures and modulation were correct. Whether she ever got any thing she prayed for or not, 1 do not now remember; but she was known far and wide as one of the most ready and fluent extemporaneous suppliants in the west. She had a pretty tough family; but that was neither here nor there. She used to say over and over again that with a sin-sick world in wickedness and darkness of soul, she often felt that she could not do full justice to her own family. So it hap pened frequently that wliile she was at some noble gathering, on her knees explaining the plan of salvation to the Lord in her lucid and normal school language, her husband with his sleeves rolled up to his shoulder blades was wondering profanely why his bread would not "raise." One evening she had been called upon to open a kind of muflie scuflie with prayer, and after she had peti tioned the throne for about a quarter of an hour aud had not hoard a mur mur of applause, she turned her head and in a low stage aside said : "Ladies, can you hear?" I would like to be near when she presents her credentials on the judg ment day, just to note, thojloofcof surprise mat win overcome tier ica tures like a summer cloud. She will be greatly annoyed when she goes through the archives of heaven, I wot, U find that her beautiful seven and one-third octave praj'ers are not on file there. Please do not regard these remarks as sacriligious. They arc just simply personal reminiscences. I remember an old gentleman who was known as the weeper. I can weep like him yet when I feel like it. It is no great trick, either, lie never regarded a prayer as a perfectsuccess unless he broke down in the middlo of it and floated away on the tide of ready-made tears. Once there was a cry of fire whilst he was in the midst of a sob. When we got to the lire he was there and ho had fully overcome his emotions and was bravely rescu ing the ice-cream freezer by the back stairs. He was highly emotional aud could weep all day without feed or water. He had a wife in Iowa and another in York State somewhere in Cattar augus county, I think. This was a blessing to them, for the' only had to endure him half of the time each. One day he was standing in front of the congregation engaged in prayer and had just begun to shed the scalding tear over man's lost and un done condition. I remember how he looked, with his eyes shut and his nose red and his bogus crocodile tears chasing each other down his cast iron cheek. A good many of the con gregation seemed to be watching him over the tops of the pews. He reached in his coat-tail pocket for his handkerchief and brought it forth, folded as he had CPken it from the bureau drawer. Still weeping and sobbing over his fallen race, and with his eyes tightly closed, he slowly un folded his white handkerchief to its full e'xtent and plunged his long red nose into it, but not before he had shown the congregation that the handkerchief was, in fact, the very smallest size of child's shirt. Some one then smiled in a low tone of voice and ho opened his eyes. Oh, how mad he was ! From that on I never knew him to weep over man's lo3t and undone condition. Probably it gave him just as much fiain as ever, but he seemed to have earned to control his emotions. People have become accustomed to hear of new discoveries. They were hardly prepared, however, to hear that a medicine had been discovered which had in it no morphia or opium and yet would cure coughs. This remedy is Bed Star Cough Cnre, and it is endorsed by tho mo3t eminent scientists. Will you sutler with l)ysieia and Liver Complaint?

A visitor to the top of Mount Wash ington concludes that the weather is really cold up there. He was con vinced by a walk along the railroad with the'wind blowing seventy miles an hour and the thermometer "twenty degrees below zero. The temperaturo does not get lower than in many other places, but the wind blow3 with greater velocity, it is said, than at any known spot in the world, and this makes the cold unbearable. A velocity of ISO miles an hour has been attained, while at Pike's Peak, 8,000 feet higher, the greatest is one hundred miles, and in New York forty-five miles is a heavy gale. Of course, the air has less power as the density increases, but even with this reduction the cold is so intense that f one covers every part of the bod, leaving only the eye exposed, these are soon coated with frost, which closes the lids and often makes it al most impossible to see. The mois ture of the breath freezes under the coverings of the face, and a frost bite is the consequence. Here, Therp. ETerynherc, Malaria is found.
