DECEMBER II. 10i. - - ' . - 11 NEWSPAPERS OF FOREIGN L ANDS Wt eilcnd cordial Invitation to the public to etamlna a collection of newspapers from tbo most remote parts of the world now on exhibit at our office. These papers were sent to um by the Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des Molno, Iowa, manu facturers of Chamberlain's Coutcb Remedy, and one of the heaviest ad vertisers not only In this country but iu foreign lands. A copy of each l ue of every newspaper containing their advertisements Is sent to the office of the Chamberlain Medicine Company as a proof of the Insertion of the advertisement The package sent to us Is selected from these voucher copies. Some of the papers bear names of places which require us to recall forgotten geography or refer to the atlas to locate.Bome oc them are particularly curious as they are published In the vernacular or na tive languages which might he liken ed to the carefully written notes of a shorthand writer. The Burmese language, as printed, la composed principally of a com bination of circles. Some one wittily suggested that for this reason circu lars would be properly printed In this language. Cingalese, the language of Ceylon, Is also curvilinear. Javanese and Si amese are composed largely or verti cal lines connected by loops at either top or bottom but rarely at both. These languages bear some resem blance to the vertical writing now practiced In our public schools. The four hundred million people of India have nearly fifty different dia lects or vernaculars. The Chamber lain Medicine Company advertises In ten of the principal ones, as follows: Bengali. Gujurathl. Hindi. Kanarese. Maylayalam, Marathl, Slndhl. Tamil. Tologu and Urdu. The Slndhl and Urdu are written from right to left In the Hebrew faHhlon. The Urdu is a sort of script and Is so chaotic in shape that It Is impossible to reduce It to the movable type form. PaperB . . . . u TTrrfu itmsruaee are prinica in i" - . therefore first .written out by hand and a plate made by the lithographic process. The "Oudh Akhbar." a six teen page dally published at Luck now In this language, claims a circu lation of about 5,000. It is said that In order to handle this circulation It requires an offlee force of about 200. Fortunately for the managers the wages paid to natives are only a few cents a day. The 'tthahya Pulau is an Arabic paper published weekly at Georgetown on the Inland of Pe nang Straits Settlements. The Ar abic Is also a "backward" language. We are Informed that this medicine company advertises in newspapers printed in thirty-two languages. Be sides the vernaculars and the well known European languages, French. Spanish. Portuguese, Dutch. German, etc., the list embraces a number of languages which until comparatively recent times possessed no alphabet but for which the Roman alphabet has been adopted. Among these are the native Hawaiian, Samoan, Taga log (Philippine Islands), Kaffir, Zulu and Basuto, of South Africa. There ia also a modern form of the Malay language using Roman characters, known as Romanized Malay. This is used in Java and the East Indies. It is difficult to conceive how the readers of some of the papers man age to handle them. Imagine a man on a crowded street car trying to read a paper whose pages are thirty eight inches long and twenty-nine inches wide. This is the size of the "Hitabadi," a Bengali weekly pub lished in Calcutta, India. The "Cape Times," an English dally published at Cape Town, South Africa, is al most as unwieldy, its pages measur ing twenty-seven and one-half inches in length and twenty-five inches in width. i To an American newspaper man it is interesting to note the manner in which the colonial English newspa- They still cling noticeable In the African papers. ! .porting B-WS.

They seem te bav little conception of the value of spar or of attractive method of present In either the text or the llluatra tlons. A pleasing relief to this mo notony la afforded by the ada of American advertisers which are rath er numerous on their page. Notice of Stock holders' Meeting.
