A quick fever can be secured by leav
ing off overcoats. Neuralgia com
plaints are open to all who walk till
they become heated, and then stop
at the corner of a street and cool off
by a genial chat with some good
fellow. Coughs are free to all who
will insist upon throwing open their
cents in order to catch the gentle
south breeze which prevails. The
ladies are such thorough experts in
this art that we need not offer them
any suggestion, but by abandoning
their cloaks and rubbers and resort
ing to their boots and shawls, they
will reach a greul diet by a short
cut.
fitS 7 * In the office of a Wisconsin
journal there is a compositor who
sets type so rapidly that the friction
of tiis movements fuses the leaden
emblems in his stick, making tnem
solid, like a stereotype plate. The
only way to prevent this is to have
his case submerged in water and the
rapidity of his movements keeps tin
water boiling and bubbling so that
I eggs have been frequently boiled in
i the space box. Pipes lead from the
bottom of his case to a boiler in the
press room, and the steam generated
by the fast compositor runs the pow
|or press. In one day he set so much
| type that it took all hands, from edi
i ta- to devil, two weeks to read the
: proof, and it wasn’t his good day for
type setting either.
