GUTENBERG’S INVENTION.
What the Printing Praia Haa Doaa fa*
Mankind
Five hundred years ago the literary
Zeitgeist, inky-fingered and forlorta,
cried out tor >elp, and hla cry was
heard in Germany and answered by the
birth of Gutenberg in 1397, who gave
to the world, in 1450, Its first com
pleted printing press, says the New
York World. “Four men,” writes the
German historian Kapp, “Gutenberg,
Columbus, Luther and Copernicus,
stand at the dividing line of the middle
ages and serve as boundary stones
marking the entrance of mankind Into
a higher and finer epoch of its develop
ment." From centers of discovery and
Invention in ever-widening circles that
development has gone on. But of all
the means by which the divine flat
"Let there be light” has been fulfilled
—In Its Inner sense—through the long
ages, there haB been none In the mate
rial realm that has exerted an Influence
as powerful and far-reaching as the
printing press. Compared with this
discovery, which has evolved from the
nebular chaos of man’s thoughts and
emotions the vast solar system of
books, even the finding of a new con
tinent, pales In significance. The pri
ority of Gutenberg's discovery over that
of Columbus Is in Itself evidence of its
vaster and more urgent import. How
ever it may be now, there was a time
when we needed a printing press ^more
than we needed another hemisphere.
For there has never been any miscal
culation in the order of the discoveries
and inventions of the universe. The
Edisons and MaxlmB never could have
been born before the Newtons and
Watts any more than man could have
made his appearance In the early pro
tozoan eras. The wonders of electricity
and Roentgen rays are the culminating
luxuries of invention, so to speak, and
not Its first necessities. Added to aH
the bare utilitarian services it has ren
dered mankind, the printing press haa
enabled man to repeat in a spiritual
sense the divine drama of creation.
And many an Ink-begotten hero is aa
living and effectual an Inspiration to
noble deeds as though he had lived
and breathed in human form. It la,
moreover, by means of their typograph
ical cerements that the real heroes of
every land and clime have escaped ob
livion. Better than all the promises of
immortality offered to Ulysses byCalyp
so has been the immortality conferred
upon him and his comrades by the no
less magical wand of the printer. “Were
our mother island sunk beneath the
sea,” wrote Lowell, "Shakespeare would
still be an immortal England.” On
the other hand, candor compels the
admission that sinful man has made
use of type—as of every other inven
tion—for base and ignoble ends. But
the most pig-headed pessimist would
hardly maintain that the evil results
thus obtained could be more than an
infinitesimal part of the good ones.
For the printing press has demonstrat
ed in a most convincing manner that
only what is good and beautiful is per
manent. Every vile and morbid book
has died, or eventually will die, of its
own diseases, till at length authors and
publishers will have learned the folly
of printing such things. It Is not mere
fancy that sees in the steady external
improvement that has been made on
the first hook models a symbol of an
internal progress in the matter between
the covers of bookdom. However much
antiquarian rapture we may feel when
we buy a worm-eaten old book in fif
teenth century print, we cannot deny
that in their superb typographical ward
robes the books of to-day as far sur
pass the first Gutenbergen attempts as
the dainty tinted gowns of a modern
belle outvie the impromptu makeshift
of our fig-leaved mother Eve. Con
cerning the respective claims of Guten
berg and Koster to the discovery of
movable types, we have no desire to
quibble. If they had not Invented
something of the kind somebody else
would have done so about the same
time or a little later. Be that as It
may, in recognition of his service to
mankind we are willing to pledge Mr.
Gutenberg’s health—he surely would
excuse us from drinking It unless we
followed it up by swallowing a blotter
—In a brimming bumper of ink.
All Things to Her Who Walts.
The Irony of fate forms a strong leav
en In the story which comes from
sas about the luck of Mrs. H. H. Leon
ard. While engaged in the task of
searching among a lot of old letters she
discovered that her brother had de
posited in a Trenton (Tenn.) bank, In
1863, $10,000. Not long afterward he
was killed in the civil war. Inquiries
elicited the fact that the bank was still
in existence and had sought the de
positor’s heirs in vain. In this story
we have first the tragic fate of the
man who owned the money, and then
the ill-starred career of Mrs. Leonard’s
husband, who, having only last fall se
cured a divorce from her to enable him
to marry another woman, was mur
dered within two months of his second
marriage. Mrs. Leonard, since the loss
Of her husband by divorce, has been
obliged to adopt the arduous profession
of a washerwoman. Now she alone, of
all the parties concerned, comes ont
ahead!
A Scarecrow for Hoaqaltocc.
John Habberton states with the sol
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitoep are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. He says that one or two
dried dragon files suspended from fine
silk under the roof of an open porch
infested with mosquitoes will scare all
of the little pests away, and they will
not come back while the dragon files
are there. This, he says, he has tried
with surprising results. It is a well
known fact that dragon flies are pre
datory and voracious insects, and that
they subsist' largely upon gnats, mid
ges and mosquitoes, and it is but nat
ural that the mosquito, who is a wlso
insect, should regard the “spindle,”
“darning needle” or dragon fly as the
small bird regards the hawk. i
NOVELIST’S FIRST EFFORTS.
Mr. Harris's ••Itaeollsetians of a School*
msstsr Written at aa Early Ago.
Having regard to Mr. J. M. Bar
rie’s visit to Dumfries academy, the
Courier und Herald of that place
prints some extracts from the novel
ist’s early contributions to a school
magazine called the Clown, which he
and Borne friends started. Young
Barrie writes some “Reckolections"
in the asumed role of a “skoolmas
ter” whose' spelling is Artemus
Wardian. In his second installment
he complains that the editor • ’spelt
sum of the wurds in my last reo
kollections rong,” and he adds:
“Altbo, of coars, I maik jew allow
ance for yoor eddukation not being
equal to mine, I hop you will be more
calrful.” Resuming the “Reckollec
tions,” he writes:
“I alwais open the school with
prair, as I think it a verry good
thing to do, and I got two skollars
by it Now, my skollars have gen
erally verry durty faces. Well, one
day in the middle of my prair won of
the boys crept in belo the tabel, and
when he was there anuther boy cam
in at the door with a oleen face.
This was too mutch for the boy in
belo the tabel, and, just as I had fin
ished saying ‘And may they orle
from the botom of their harts—,’ he
shouted out ‘Lord Almichti, there’s
Jock Smith wY his face washed!”
Here is an instance of how ef
fectively the lad could reproduce a
conversation. Relating a railway
journey the schoolmaster says:
“On my rode we passed the river
'Aye.’ A gentleman asked me,
'What river is that?’
“I was meditatin’, so I answered
abruptly, ‘Aye.' ■
“The gentleman repeated his ques
tion, and I. thinkin’ he had not
heard me, again replied ‘Aye.’
“ 'Could- -you—tell — me—what
river—that—is?’ he roared into my
eer.
“1 again answered ‘Aye ’
“ 'Sir, said he, ‘I sea you want to
insult me!’
“I couldn't comprehend what he
said till another person in the trane
informed me that he thoat that I
meant ‘eh’ when I said *aye.’”
Here is another example well
worth giving:
“The minister of the town was sed
to be a good preacher, and so I went
to heer him on the furst Sabboth of
the munth. I went early, and their
wer only one person there who I saw
was a nelder. I sed to him, ‘When
does service begin?’
“The man staired.
“ 'When does service begin?’ I
agen asked.
“To my surprise the elder ex
claimed: ‘What abomnabul impurt
nense. Pray, sur, do you know oor
respecktit mlnistir?’
“ 'Me no him? No,’ sed L
“ 'Then get oot o’ this,’ he re
plied. 'You impurnant skoundral
git oot o’ this; an’ if I sea you here
agen I’ll kick you oot myself’
“Of course I was gratoly aston
ished at the man, not noing anythink
I had sed about the minister; but it
struck me at wonca that the minis
ter’s name was Service!’’
Admiral da Honey and the Sentry.
When Admiral de Horsey, who
some years ago had command of the
British fleet in the Pacific, was the
admiral of the North Atlantic
squadron, he was one evening dining
on shore at Port Royal, Jamaica. On
returning to his flag-ship alone after
dinner, his way to the boat led
across the barrack square. A black
sentry, of one of the West India
regiments, halted him at the gate
with, “Who goes dar?” Great was
the admiral’s annoyance to find he
had neglected to get the pass-word
before leaving the ship. “That’s
all right,” he said carelessly, hoping
to overcome the man’s scruples by
indifference; “you know who I am.”
“Dunno nobody, sar,” replied the
nigger, pompously; “you ean’t go in
dar.” “Why, I’m Admiral de
Horsey.” “Well, you can't go in, I
don’t care if you’s Admiral de
Donkey. ”—Argonau t
Learned bjr Experience.
▲ certain judge in Chicago, who
rather prides himself on his vast and
varied knowledge of law, was com
pelled not long ago to listen to a case
that had been appealed from a justice
of the peace. The young practi
tioner who appeared for the appel
lant was long and tedious; he brought
in all the elementary text-books and
quoted the fundamental propositions
of law. At last, the judge thought
it was time to make an effort to hurry
him up. '‘Can’t we assume.” he said,
blandly, "that the court knows a
little law itself?” "Thut’s the very
mistake I made in the lower court,”
answered the young man, "I don't
want to let it defeat me twice.”—

A Btlitlfa In Nerd.
Half a century ago, when "sub
jects” were bought by the surgeons,
a poor man, writes James Payn. fell
dead in Fleet street Without a mo
ment’s hesitation, a young fellow
who was passing threw himself on
his knees beside the corpse, exclaim
ing: "My father, my dear father!" A
crowd gathered round, their sym
pathy was oxcited. and money was
subscribed to enable the pious youth
to take away his father’s body in a
hackney coach. He did so, and took
it to a surgeon, who gave him a hun

Poor Little Thing.
“What’s the matter. Molly?” asked
Colonel Terger of his little 6-year-old
daughter.
“Pa, my mocking bird is dead.”
"Well, never mind, Molly, I’ll buy
you another one.”
"I am calm enough now, but when
I saw that poor little dead bird I'
could have cried like a child,” said
Molly. —Texas Siftioga.
HOW TO FIND OOT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates-an un
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre
quent desire to urinate, or pain in the
back, If also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder, and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to held urine and
scalding pains in passing it, or bad
effects following the use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most destressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. Youimay have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail Mention The Frontier
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co.. Binghamton, N. Y. The proprie
tors of this paper guarantee the genu!
ineness of this offer.

What s Prominent Insurance Man lays.
H. M. Blossom, senior member of H,
M. Blossom & Co., 917 N. Srd St. Louis
writes: I had been left with a very dis
tressing cough, the result of influenza,
which nothing seemed to relieve, until I
took Ballard’s Horehound Syrup. One
bottle completely cured me. I sent one
bottle to my sister who had a severe
cough, and she experienced immediate
relief. I always recommended this
syrup to my frisnds.
John Cranston 908 Hampshire Street,
Quincy, 111., writes: I have found
Ballard’s Horehound Syrup superior to
any other cough medicine I have ever
known. It never disappoints. Price 95
