GUTENBERG’S INVENTION.
Wktt the Printing Praia Has Done fel
Mankind.
Five hundred years ago the literary
Zeitgeist, inky-fingered and forlorh,
cried out lor t>.elp, and hie 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
agee 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 has been none in the mate
rial realm that has exerted an Influence
as powerful and far-reaching as the
printing press. Qompared 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 Maxims 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 all
the bare utilitarian services it has ren
dered mankind, the printing press has
enabled man to repeat in a spiritual
sense the divine drama of creation.
And many an ink-begotten hero Is as
living and effectual an inspiration to
noble deeds as though he had lived
and breathed in human form. It is,
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
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 book 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 hhve 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 uni—y we
followed it up by swallowing a blotter
—in a brimming bumper of ink.
All Thing* to Bar Who Walt*.
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 out
ahead!
A Scarecrow for Mosqnltoc*.
John Habberton states with the sol
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitoes are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come wfthin
yards of them. He says that one or two
dried dragon flies suspended from line
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 flies
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 lhat 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. Barrie's ••lUcolIactlou of a 8ehool
maiter Written at an Barly A|a
Having regard to Mr. J. M. Bar
rie's visit to Dumfries academy, the
Courier and Herald of that place
prints some extracts from the norel
ist’s early contributions to a school
magazine called the Clown, which he
and some friends started. Young
Barrie writes some “Reckolections*
in the asumed role of a “skoolmas
ter” whose spelling is Artemus- ■
Wardian. In his seoond installment
he complains that the editor “spelt
sum of the wurds in my last rec
kolleotions rong,” and he adds:
“Altho, of coars, I malk jew allow
ance for yoor eddukation not being
equal to mine. I hop you will be more
cairful.” Resuming the “Reokolleo
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 orept in belo the tabel, and
when he was there anuther boy cam ,
in at the door with a cleen face. I
This was too mutch for the boy in
belo the tabel, and, just as I had fin
ished saying ‘And may they crie
from the botom of their harts—,’ he
shouted out ‘Lord Almichti, there’s
Jock Smith wi’ 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
ever—that—isP’ 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 Xurst 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 mau stalred.
“ ‘When does service beginP’ 1
agen asked.
“To my surprise the elder ex
claimed: ‘What abomnabul impurt*
nense. Fray, sur, do you know oor
respecktft ministir P’
“ ‘Me no himP 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 mysel!’
“Of course I was gratoly aston
ished at the man, not noing anythink
I had sed about the minister; but it
struck me at wonce that the minis
ter’s name was Service!”
Admiral da Homy and tha Santry.
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 Fort 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 darP” 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 can’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. ”—Argonaut

A 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 asdume,” he said,
blandly, "that the court knows a
little law itself?” "Twit’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 Bolatlvo In NmiI.
Half a century ago, when "sub
jects” were bought by the Burgeons,
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 excited, and money was
subscribed to enable tba 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
dred dollars for it
Poor Uttlo Thing.
"What’s the matter, Molly P” asked
Colonel Yerger of his little 6-year-old
daughter.
"Pa, my mocking bird is dead.”
"Well, never mind, Molly, 1’U 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 Siftings. _
NOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glue 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, ir 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 hold 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 Bwamp Root is soon realised. 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. You may 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.
