An enthusiastic editor began his leading article on a local elecâ€" tion campaign with the phrase, ‘‘The battle is now opened."‘ Unfortunately the compositor transformed battle into bottle, and his readers said that they had suspected it all along. . _ ‘Yes,"" you shall say when once the dream \(So hard to break) is o‘er, *‘My love was very dear to him, * My farm and peace were more." | a This error seems to have angered the poet, whose temper, indeed, it was not difficult to upset, for upon the margin of the proof (which is still extant) he wrote : ‘‘Of all the ridiculous blunâ€" ders ‘everâ€"committed by a compositor farm instead of fame is the most ridicuâ€" lous. _ Pity it was not printed my farm and peas.‘‘ Richard Proctor, the astronâ€" omner, writing in his magazine, Knowlâ€" edge, stated that the most remarkable change which printers had ever arranged for him occurred in the proof of a little book on ‘"Spectroscopic Analysis," written for the Society For Promoting Christian Knowledge. _ The words, ‘‘lines, bands and strim in the violet part of, the spectra,‘‘ woere printed, ‘‘links, bonds and stripes for the vioâ€" lent kinds of speoters.‘‘ A still more amusing blunder, which Mr. Proctor declared that he had seen in the proof of a poem written by a friend, was the transformation of the line, "He kissed her under the silent stars,‘‘ into "He kicked her under the cellar stairs,‘‘â€" Macimmillan‘s Magazine. A theatrical critic in a notice of a charming young actress whose treatâ€" ment of Portia had afforded him much pleasure wrote, ‘"‘Her love for Portia made acting easy.‘‘ That was right enough, but what the types made him say was ‘‘her love for Porter,‘‘ etc. A compositor who was better acquainted with the geography of the west than with Biblical lore set up the phrase ‘‘From Alpha to Omega‘ as "from Alâ€" ton to Omaha‘‘ and possibly found himâ€" self compelled to start for those places next morning. In the earlier half of the present (century it was announced in a London newspaper that "Sir Robert Peel, with a party of fiends, was shootâ€" ing peasants in Ireland,‘‘ whereas the minister and his friends were only inâ€" dulging in the comparatively harmless pastime of pheasant shooting. Shortly after the battle of Inkerman one of the morning papers informed . its readers that ‘after a desperate struggle the eneâ€" my was repulsed with great laughter." The omission of a single letter has rareâ€" ly played more havoc with a subject which was no laughing matter. THE FIENDISH BEHAVIOR OF WELL / MEANING TYPES.

The responsibility for these humors of the composing room rests sometimes with the author‘s vile handwriting, but it is mainly due to the conditions under which the compositor works. A wooden frame (or case, as it is known in the trade) is divided by ledges into several receptacles or boxes for the various letâ€" ters of the alphabet and points of puncâ€" tuation. In one box there are all A‘s, in another all H‘s and in another all Y‘s, and so on, and from this case, picking up the letters one by one as required, the compositor turns the manuscript into type. Practice enables him to do this not only with extreme rapidity, but with remarkable accuracy, but he has often to deal with what he calls a foul caseâ€"that is, a case in which several of the letters have got into the wrong boxesâ€"and as he thus unconsciously picks up the wrong letter from the right box we find oats turned to cats, posts to posts, arts to rats and jolly to folly. The compositor, casually and unconâ€" sciously, is a fellow of infinite humor. The writers and speakers upon whose telling arguments or flights of fancy the compositor exercises his wit may be anâ€" noyed, but the general public has no alâ€" loy in the enjoyment of these typoâ€" graphical antics. Miss Fanny Fudge, the youthful genius discovered by Tom Moore, who used to contribute to the poets‘ corner of The County Gazette, complained bitterly to her cousin of the havoc the printers made of her sense and her rhymes. ‘"‘Though an angel should write, still ‘tis devils must print,‘‘ she explained.

How He Defined Hope. defini Montreal, Feb. 10.â€"Quite a stir has been caused in McGill University cirâ€" cles by a lecture recently delivered by Mr. E. W. MacBride, professor of zoology, on the subjsct of evolution. It is contended that Prof, MacBride‘s views are very similar to those held by extreme evolutionists, and that they savor of â€" materialistic agnosticism. Mauny of the professors of the affiliated theological colleges resent the attitude of the professor, New York the Railroad Center. ‘‘Reasoning Out a Metropolis‘‘ is the title of an article in St. Nicholas, writâ€" ten by Ernest Ingersoll. Mr. Ingersoll says: Railroads began to be built about 1830, and the New Yorkers were soon pushing them out in all directions, supâ€" plying the money for extending them farther and farther north and west and connecting them into long systems conâ€" trolled by one head. Other men in other cities did the same, but by and by it was seen that no railroad between the central west and east could succeed in competition with its rivals unless it reached New York. The great trunk roads, built or aided by the Baltimore men to serve their city, and by the Philadelphia people to bring trade to them, and by the capitalists of New England for their profit, never succeedâ€" ed. therofore, until they had been pushâ€" ed on to New York, where the volume of commerce was coming to be as great as or greater than that of all the other American ports put together. Now New York has become the real headquartéers of every ijmportant railway system in the United States; that is, it is here that the financial operationsâ€"the money part of the managementâ€"are conductâ€" ed, though the superintendents of its trains and daily business may keep their offices somewhere else. Personality is changing every moâ€" ment. The individuality is for every moment the particular stage of unfoldâ€" ment of the ego itself and is conseâ€" quently the bearer of the sins and sorâ€" rows, pleasures and enjoyments, of mundane life. In absolute perfection this bearing nature is thrown off like a husk, and the ego dwells in divine and eternal bliss. It is not destroyed, nor is it merged into another ego or in a suâ€" preme being, and if the question be asked whether in this state of mukti (deliverance) there is one ego or a pluâ€" rality of egos I would answer in the words of the Jain master: ‘‘That atman by which I experienced myself and my essence through self realizationâ€"that I am; neither masculine, feminine nor neuter, neither one, two nor many.‘‘ The Vedanta metaphysics teach that salvation comes through knowledge (of Brahman). It is not the potential that through effort and conquest becomes the actual, and we are further taught that that which is is real now. On the other hand, Jainism teaches that from the ideal and transcendental standpoint you are Brahman, but its eternality, the real mukti, comes from work and knowledge together, not from one alone. Through work and knowledge, Jainism says, the individual develops and unâ€" folds the potential. Therefore the stateâ€" ment, "I am Brahman,‘‘ would be inâ€" terpreted .by a Jain to mean I am Brahâ€" man only inherently or in embryo; I have the capacity or the actual possibilâ€" ity of Brahman; what I am implicitly must become explicit. There is a vast difference between the implicit and the explicit. Those who do not recognize this difference would never make an atâ€" tempt to become rational and free.â€" Virchand R. Gandhi in Mind. The Jain philosophy also teaches that each soul (atman) is a separate individâ€" uality, uncreated and eternal in existâ€" ence; that eachindividual soul has lived from time without beginning in some embodied state, evoiving from the lowâ€" er to the higher condition through the law of karma, or cause and effect; that so long as the karmas (forces generated in previou§s lives) have not been fully worked out it has, after physical death, to form another body, until through evolutionary processes it unfolds its abâ€" solute purity. Its full perfection is then manifested. This perfection of the indiâ€" viduality is the Jain Nirvana, or mukâ€" ti. The individuality is not merged into anything, neither is it annihilated. The process of this development, or salvaâ€" tion, may be said simply to consist in right realization, right knowledgo and right life, the details of which are many. The Jain philosophy teaches that the universeâ€"the totality of realitiesâ€"is infinite in space and eternal in time, but the same universe, considered from the standpoint of the manifestations of the different realities, is finite in space and noneternal in time. Particular parts of the universe have their cyclic laws corresponding to the laws of evolution and involution. At certain periods arâ€" hats, or great masters (saviors of manâ€" kind), are born, who, through love, sacâ€" rifice of the lower nature (not of the real self) and wisdom, teach the true doctrine. Referring to that part of the world known as Bharataâ€"Khandia (Inâ€" dia), the last arhat, Mabhavira, was born 598 B. C., in a town called Kunâ€" dagrama, in the territory of Videha. He lived 72 years and reached moksha (the perfect condition) in 526 B. C. There lived many such Jinas in the past, and many will doubtless yet be born. The philosophy of the Jains thereâ€" fore is not essentially founded on any particular writing or external revelaâ€" tion, but on the unfoldment of spiritual consciousness, the birthright of every soul. Jain (or, more properly speaking, Jaina) means a follower of Jina, which is a generic term applied to those perâ€" sons (men and women) that have conâ€" quered the lower nature â€" passion, hatred and the likeâ€"and brought into prominence the highest. The Jain phiâ€" losophy, therefore, bases its doctrine on the absolute necessity (for the realization of truth) of conquering the lower naâ€" ture. To the undeveloped or insufficientâ€" ly developed observer, it is the conquerâ€" ing of the lower nature;â€"to the fully developed, it is the realization of the perfect. fKkia s i~ Men and Women of India Who Strive to Conquer the Lower Nature. Besides Hindoo or Vedic metaphysâ€" ica, there are systems in India not based on the Vedas and Upanishads, and therefore classed as heterodox by the Vedists. These are the Buddhist and Jain systems. Much has been written and spoken on Buddhism, but very little on Jainism. 6 Leaning to Agnosticism. THE JAINS. x iss A Nervous Woman, "I was completely run down and had & bad cough due to bronchitis.

Up to this time the greatest regularâ€" ity had been observed aboard the Vicâ€" toire, but the captain, noticing an unâ€" usual laxity of conduct among the crew and hearing them in their cups making use of blasphemous and profane lanâ€" guage, justly attributed it to the influâ€" ence of the Dutch prisoners and deterâ€" mined to take measures to stop it. Acâ€" cordingly he mustered all hands to the mast and addressed them as follows: ‘‘My men, before I had the misforâ€" tune to bring these Dutch prisoners on board I never was pained by hearing any of you use in vain the name of your Creator. Lately I have often heard you indulge in this sin, which can produce neither profié nor pleasure and may bring down upon you a severe chastiseâ€" ment. If you have a just idea of the great being, you will never mention his name without reflecting upon his purity and your own vileness. My own sontiâ€" ments are that the Dutch have allured you to a dissolute way of life in order that they may take some advantage over you, and I hereby give notice that the first Dutchman I catch with an oath in his mouth or liquor in his head I will bring to the gratings and whip and pickle as an example to the rest of his mation. As to you, my friends and comâ€" panions, generous and noble souls whom I have the honor to command, I admonâ€" ish you like a parent by reason of my office against the sin of intemperance, which damages your bodies, and the sin of profanity, which imperils your souls." It is hard for one to realize that these words came from the lips of an avowed pirate, sailing under the black flag, in the early part of the eighteenth century. His advice was followed, and both nations led thereafter a life of clean speech and temperance, the Dutch in dread of punishment and the French to avoid offending ‘‘the good captain,‘‘ as they called their beloved Misson.â€" Harper‘s Round Table. A Wagner Letter. Friends of Wagner abroad, as well as in Germany, will read with interest a letter written by the composer 40 years ago to Herr Albert Niemann, the faâ€" mous tenor, and the eminent performer of ‘"Lohengrin,‘"‘ ‘‘Tristan,""‘ ‘"Siegâ€" mund‘‘ and "Siegfried.""‘ It is dated Zurich, Jan. 25, 1857, and shows that even when he was a political fugitive in Switzerland he had the idea of foundâ€" ing his own theater, a plan which was realized only 20 years later by the buildâ€" ing of the house at Baireuth. The letter is as follows: HonoRrED Sirâ€"Everything that I hear about you makes me believe that in you I have found the anxiously sought singer of my Siegfried. As soon as you learn to know the work at which I am still busy you will be easily able to judge of what decisive importance this is for me. On my part the whole thing is to be ready for performance in the summer of 1859, if I am not prevented by serious illness. * * * My greatest anxiety is whether I shall be forâ€" tunate enough to find the performers such as I require. Now, I have cast my eyes first upon you, and I therefore address you thus early. Even you, however, cause me some anxiety, as I hear that you are one of those uncommon natures who, in their zeal, sacrifice themselyes. Kindly receive, therefore, my sincere request to remember the extraordinary undertaking for which I am enlisting you, and not to waste your powers. Take care of yourself, and alâ€" ways remember that you have still a noble and great art work before you, which, as I promâ€" ise, will be worth your while taking care of yourself now. If you can visit me this year in Zurich, I should look upon it as a proof of great friendship. If it should prove true, as someâ€" body told me, that you visited me last sumâ€" mer, I should be very grieved that I did not meet you. Farewell.

Over 300 years ago a scientist studied out the theory of the compass and why the needle pointed to the north. It is not, however, a fact that the needle points exactly to the north. Sometimes it veers to the east and sometimes to the west, depending on the locality, and as a curious phenomenon it does not alâ€" ways point the same way in the same place. The entire earth is a magnet and paturally controls all the lesser magâ€" nets. The pole in the northern hemiâ€" sphere is consequently called the northâ€" ern magnet and the opposite the southâ€" ern magnet. But, says an authority on this subject, ‘‘since poles of contrary names attract each other while those of the same name repel each other it folâ€" lows that the pole of the magnetic needle which turns to the north is realâ€" ly the southern pole of the needle, while the pole turned toward the south is the north pole. As the vertical plane passâ€" ing through its poles does not coincide with the meridian plane of the place it follows that the needle does not always turn to the true north. The declination, as the angle of the two planes is called, is not the same in every part of the world, which accounts for the variaâ€" tion.‘‘ The study of magnetic influences is most interesting, but as a ruleo the subject is quite imperfectly understood. â€"New York Ledger. ‘‘Are you the person who wrote up the account of the Munn reception?"‘ ‘‘Yes.

Some litole time ago the neighâ€" boring town of Ridgetown was thrown into a state cf amazement by the appearance on the streets of George Dougherty, who bad been bedâ€"ridden night and day for a full year, attended by three local doctors and several outâ€" side medical men. He had Bright‘s Disease and Dropsy. He was given up to die, but his parents spared no expense in their efforts to have h‘s health restored, and it was known that they bad expended hundreds of doliars with this objsct in view.
