Philadelphia Ledger. An InKentntiM Printer. It requires a «l deal of Ingenuity to become a successful printer. Boyi with printing presses and ambitious t< develop into great printers should re member this and exercise their inven tive qui titles at every opportunity. a M.,ry is told of a Prague printei who got himself "ut <»f a very disagree able dilemma by the use of his Ingen lons mind, lb' was once called up rn 0 print a report <>f the board of trade ol his native city in tho two languages o! the country, German and Csech, am the representatives of each national itv strenuously desired that the!: tongue should occupy the tirst of tia parallel columns on each page. Tin wary printer got out of his dllemmi by printing one column upside dowi throughout the book and arranging tin titles accordingly, so that each lan guage had a front column on ever; page _ lion to Wnlk. There is no virtue in a dawdlim saunter. The llOW and languid draj ging ono foot after the other, whlcl some people cull walking, would tir au athlete.

Hitching ti scent, followed him. Fv- ¦. \ feu ... the preacher would kick backward al the dog without looking iiround. Arrh lng at church, the preach¬ er began th services, and the dog lay down behind the altar. A fi'W minutes later one of tho dea¬ cons stole quietly up behind the preach¬ er. Intending to hand him a sheet of paper, and pulled his coat tall. With¬ out glancing buck the preacher gave one vicious kick and sent the deacon rolling down the altar steps on to the do::, which set up a terrible howling. The preacher, still looking straight ahead, said: "My friends, this thieving scoundrel has been trying to rob me ever since I made a purchase at tho butcher shop before coming herc." W hen the preacher discovered what he had done he dismissed the congre¬ gation anti went outside to kick the dog..Sedalia iMo.) Democrat A SarenMle Deflnltlon. George Keno, an American newspa¬ per man who went to Havana and ob¬ tained work on a daily paper there. did not get on well with the managing ! editor, a former Chicago physician. They disliked each other extremely, and the editor took particular pleasure in mangling Keno's copy beyond al! recognition. One night Keno protest ed at some blue penciling that was done. "I recognise your right to edit my stuff, doctor," said he, "but 1 must bog you to do so in such manner that you will not Split all of the Infinitives. In this Instance you have made my copy over into a bundle of phraseolog¬ ical kindling wood." In reply, from the erudite managing editor: "You seem to lie worrying yourself over a mere trifle. Mr. Keno. What is a split infini¬ tive anyway?" "A split Infinitlvi replied Keno after a moment of thought, "is an attachment used on farms, lt is a small Implement that we fasten io tlc nose of a calf winn we wish to wean it from its mother." HOS* B_nfS Irs Hntclied Iii ( hinn. A curious method of batching e-u-s has been adopted in China. The eggs are placed in tiers in a large basket twice the size of an ordinary barrel. which ls thickly lined with hay ami carefully closed from the air by a Ugh! titting cover of twisted straw. In three days' time the eggs are taken out and replaced in a different order, those nt the surface being put in the lower tier. This is repeated every third day for a fortnight, when tho eggs aro removed from the basket and placed on a shelf in another room, being carefully cov¬ ered with bran. In a day or two tho chickens chip tho shells and make their appearance in the world. The success of this method is attributed to the fact that the animal heat of the egg, being retained by the basket, which is form ed of material not conducting caloric. ls sufficient to support animal life and develop it.

A curious method of batching e-u-s
has been adopted in China. The eggsare placed in tiers in a large basket
twice the size of an ordinary barrel.
which ls thickly lined with hay ami
carefully closed from the air by a Ugh!titting cover of twisted straw. In three
days' time the eggs are taken out and
replaced in a different order, those nt
the surface being put in the lower tier.
This is repeated every third day for a
fortnight, when tho eggs aro removedfrom the basket and placed on a shelfin another room, being carefully cov¬
ered with bran. In a day or two tho
chickens chip tho shells and make their
appearance in the world. The success
of this method is attributed to the fact
that the animal heat of the egg, beingretained by the basket, which is form
ed of material not conducting caloric.
ls sufficient to support animal life and
develop it.
