To this day, when ezchers gwant a particularly good proof of , their work, they have recourse to an ;old hand press, the same in all its gprinciples as you may find in the ,prillt shop__of_Plantin in Antwerp. .‘- Plantin, as his name is generally spelled, was born near Tours, France. He set up his first print shop in Antwerp in 1549 in the midt-t of the era that was marked by much religious discussion. At a time when doctrine and dogma were mat- ters of moment equaling questions of state, books on religious topics were in great demand and the most noted of the publications that he turned out was a polyglot Bible in five languages and eight volumes, a prodigious work that occupied four years. Plantin was a patron of learning, if not actually learned himself. He was the first publisher to employ men of erudition at high salaries to produce copy for his 20 presses. Men of the profound learn- ing corrected his proof sheets. So highly did he prize accuracy that he offered prizes for the discovery 0! errors in his books. ChristOpherus Plantinus was the learned name of the early printer of Antwerp. Latin was the tongue of learning and men’s names, as well as tomes of knowledge, were inscrib- ed in its characters. Up to 1865 the printing house he founded had a con- tinuous existence from the day he started it in 1576. It stands to-day, the accretiens of ages, simply having added building after building to the original, until the whole has been bought by Antwerp and made into the Plantin-Moretus museum. Travel- ers to Antwerp have seen in the ancient bookshOps ushers attired in 16th century costumes, clothes that were in'fashion when Columbus dis- covered America, and have felt the magic of that age, just emerging from the reign of capyists, when folios were printed from blackfaced type of crude design. This man Plantin was one of the most interesting men of his day, as old Antwerp, of antiquity passing written history, was one of the most interesting cities. Rubens lived there and was a friend of Plantin and his son-in-law, Moretus, Rubens whose colors we may not excel. Painter and printer, the art decorative and the art preservative, two of the great agencies for the uplifting of man- kind, for the diffusion of those crafts and graces that lifted men from the bogs of savagery to the light of hu- manity, toiled side by side. each in- tent on his own work. {ind when Moretus died his friend Rubens painted one of his masterpieces, his Resurrection, tor the tomb of his friend and placed it in one of the chapels. of the wonderful cathedral at Antwerp. For, until the type-setting machine and the cylinder press came, the art of printing remained in all its essen- tials the same art that Plamin and Aldus and Caxton deveIOped. with moxable types, slowly assembled by hand, locked in a chase and inked and paper pressed down by a screw press arrangement worked by hand or power. It was about the print shop of Plantin in Antwerp that the devastaâ€" tion of war has raged. Works of art more pretentious than this have been ra7ed, but the mediaeval printory seems to have escaped destruction. It is one of Antwerp’s greatest joys. In the midst. of. such an c wakening came printing. The laborious copy- ing of monkish hands, which illu- minated many a missal and saved for humanity the learning of the dim classic past, was too slow for an ag in whose veins leaped the blood of reawakened Eurone. Such impulses could no more be restrained than can tle throbbing sap in the trees be stopped from putting forth buds. The demand for words and books was too great, and ingenious minds in the Low Countries. in Italy and England were racking their re- sources to make reading'a common possession. Aldus in Venice, Caxton in London and Plantin in Antwerp were giving the world its first books. -â€"vâ€"â€"â€"â€"’ w-v ovuunuuuuwbo It was in the closing years of the 15th and the opening years of the 16th centuries, when, from the morasses of the Low Countries, sprang the new learning as in spring the tulips blossom from the mud. All Europe had felt the magic touch. It was as when the genial warmth of the April sun sends the sap to the tree tips and warms the dead brown earth to new verdure. In the very joy of newly found faculties litera- ture blossomed with a race of writers wlose work have not been surpass- ed: artists laid on colors whose warmth has been the dispair of artists ever since: artisans produced cathedrals. composers produced mus- ic and all the earth seemed to find itself.

One gang of na- tives set up a furious beating on thei' gongs to call the neighbors to 1 help repair the break in the dyke be- 3 fore it was too late. Other natives. combining faith with work. would burn great bunches of incense and 1 firecrackers, kow-towing ’> the gods presiding over that district. to ‘save the rice fields.’ He undertook to give what con- solation he might and took the dis- tressed poor lady in his arms. As she nestled against his shoulder a newr access of sobs convulsed her. “Ah, George,” she murmured in a choking voice, “now I’ve only you left." He came home and found his young wife dissolved in tears. “What do you think has happen- ed?” she cried. “I left the cage open and our canary has flown away.” “Indeed,” she replied, “I’ll dae nae sic thing. I ne’er could raise a. men for myself, and I’m no gaen to raise men for King George.” -- London Chronicle. In the great war at the beginning of the last century the British public was asked to subscribe not merely for relief funds, but for the actual rais- ing of forces. And by no means everybody subscribed even for that. Dean Ramsay reckons as the best of his stories of the old women of Montrose the one concerning the old maid who was canvassed for funds to organize a volunteer corps for the King’s service. on bamboo and contains more sign-; boards to the square foot than any; other street in any other country. The next interesting fact about this Can- ' ton byway is that, though a business street, it contains no other shops than those of apothecaries and dentists‘: parlors, no professional men but doc- tors. It is a sick man’s paradise and a. physicians’ Klondike. They call it Physic street. i “The rains have swollen the river 'tremendously in the high plateau of Tibet, and the me"ing snows from :the western mountains have made : the Yangtse rise with fearful rapid- iity. High water mark has been ,growing higher day by day. The 1 water finally came over the iykes in ' the lower rice fields. It rose to the floors of the houses located along the friver, and the people began to lay ;plank walks along the streets, ele- 'vated to such height as to enable 'them to get about. These elevated _ plank walks soon were necessary in- side of the houses. Still the water 3rose. Still higher did the natives ' elevate their plank walks. The poor- er Chinese men and women and chil- dren, dwelling in their mud huts. saw the mud which comprised the walls of their hone-s was" ed away, and there was nthng-for them to do but gather togvther their hous hold effects and 'r‘:<>‘.'e to a higher part of the city. ‘l‘here they would build another mud house.

Canton, in China. possesses the queerest street in the world in spite of the fact that in nearly all the big towns in this country there are some remarkable streets. The chief thing of interest attaching to this eccentric thoroughfare is the fact that it is roofed in with glami paper fastened As is well known, during the South African war the Boers stripped the dead for supplies, and the British sol- diers developed quite a fancy for boots secured- in this way. It was not callousness, but. necessity devel- oping a matter-ofâ€"fact habit of mind. “'ear and Tear on Uniforms. War plays havoc with soldiers’ uni- forms. Already reports are coming from the scenes of hostilities in Eu- rope that the fighters’ clothes are be- ginning to show wear and tear. In the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, German soldiers were seen plodding along the miry roads in the depth of winter barefoot, while many had only wooden shoes and linen trousers. When the Tenth Corps marched into Le Mans in January, 1871, scarcely a soldier was clothed in the regula- tion manner.. Civilian garments, even French red breeches, were com- mon. “One by one. however, the dykes gave way. The Yangtse still climbed upward on the high water mark register, and the fields had to be abandoned. Thousands of natives, reluctant to abandon all th ei r earthly possessions. remained until the very last hope had disappeared and fin- ally could be seen fleeing for their lives before the onrushing flood.” This missionary. writing from Wuhu, one of the largeSt ports on the. river, located 60 miles above Napking, says: Yangtse on a Rampage Is Like the Mississippi. China has many floods. Along the Yangtse river there is oftentimes a. tremendous oerflovr, jusx as‘ occurs in America along the Mississippi. A recent account by a missionary well describes-a typical devastating flood in China. Queerest Street In the World. Some Facts About Water. CHINA’S A‘VFI‘L FLOODS. Herself Before Her King. Consolation. A wound in the right arm, which Fritz Kreisler, the famous violinist, has sustained when fighting in the Austrian army, may raise an interest- ing question of insurance law. All great instrumentalists now insure their hands, arms, etc. Paderewski, for instance, has insured each finger separately for $25, 000. Kreisler, no doubt, has taken similar precautions. The question is whether wounds re- ceived in battle can be regarded as accidents and come under the cover of general insurance. Miss M. Twamley, professional nurse. of Buffalo, N..Y has been visiting friends and relatives in this vicinity for the past three or four weeks. M‘iss Kathleen Bu‘nce of Hamil- ton visitei over New Year’s with Mr. Bert Paull, representing the Stephenson Blake Co., Toronto, was in tow-n Monday on business. Miss Ada Banks returned last week after a three months’ visit with friends in the west. She en- ioyed the tr_ip very much. Cornering: Righteousness. The world is full of suspicion, which in nearly very case is un- founded. An unbounded and univer- sal trust should take its place. I can give you an instance of what I consid- er this unhappy state of things when I say that two strangers can seldom speak casually to each other without a mutual caution and suspicion. We all trust ourselves. Our weak point is that we don’t trust our neighbor. We each think, as it were, that we’re made a corner in righteousness.â€" H. M. Edginton in “Oh, James!" The talk of the inspector im- 1’)ressed the children, and they earnestly discussed the matter unâ€" til recess time Next day the teacher overheard this conversation.
