THE COLUMBIAN A.ND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBTJRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Book Making Baibro tlio Ago of Printing. Of cottrno Uio Ohlnpso wcro rtlioad of Kttropp. Thoir clironlolos record print ing upon bIIk or cotton In tlio century boloro Christ, mper bcine ntlributcd to tho II rut century niter Christ. It is certain tli.it many hundred years ngo they had begun to put writing on transfer paper, lay this fnco downward on wood or stone, rub off tho impress ion or paste on tho transparent paper, cut away tho wood or stone, and tako nn impression in ink which duplicated tho original. Kirst, probably, they cut tho letters into tho block, leaving whito letters on black ground, which method, Didot thinks, was known to tho Ho mans and was tho process referred to by l'linyj afterward they cut away tho blook, leaving tho letters raised, to print black on white. This last pro cess is attributed to Koong-Tnou, Chin oho minister of stato in tho tenth cen tury, who was driven to tho invention by tho necessity of getting exact copies of his oflielal documents. Indeed, thcro is detailed tradition of a Chiucso Gutenborg, ono I'i-Ching, who in 1011 carved cubes of porcelain pasto with Chinese characters, afterward baking them, and literally ''setting" tho porce lain types by help of parallel wires on a plato of iron in a bed of heated resinous cement. Thcso types hn ham mered or planed oven, and pressed closo together, so that when tbo cement Hardened they wero praotically n solid block, which oould bo taken to pieces aijain by melting tho cement. But Pi- Ching was born out of time, in tho wrong country, and to tho wrong lan guage. Tho Chinese word-alphabet cootaina at least oU,UU0, possibly SMU, 000 characters (tho National Printing otllco at Paris made types for 43,000), and for tho lesser number tho Chinese compositor would rcquiro a largo room to himself,whero ho wander among fivo hundred cases "looking for a sign,'1 while Chinese wood-engravers will cut on pear wood, or on tho hard waxed comoosition used for that oldest of ex isting dailies, tho Pekin Gazette, an octavo page of characters for forty or fifty cents a hundreth part of tho cost of coarso work, a thousandth of tho cost of tho iincst work, hero. Tho Chinese printer, without a press, but with a doublo brush liko a oanoo pad dle, inking tho blook with ono end, and pressing tho paper laid on tho block with tho dry brush at tho other end, prints two thousand sheets a day, on ono sido only, which aro then bound into a book by making tho fold at tho front of the sheet, and stitching through tho cut edges at tho back. A fair-sized book is sold for eight or ten cents, and thcro is littlo inducement for improvement. Playing-cards, in vented probably in Hindoostan as a modification of chess aud then engrav ed on ivory, wcro mado in China and Ilindostan centuries ago, and thenco they seem to have made their way into Europe, probably through Saracens or Jews, before M00. Meanwhile the business of book-making by copying had had a curious development in two directions. Tho industry so flourishing in Cicero's Rome had dwindled to nothing by tho sixth oentury. The great libraries had been destroyed. Few could write their names: fewer could read. Tho Irish monks alone preserved the art of illu minating, and from tho island of Iona shed such light as they could through but Europe. Charlemaguo himself could not write, but used a curious monogram to picture his name; he was tho more ready, it may bo, to permit his English adviser, the monk Alcuin, to require that every monastery' should maintain a scriptorium, and every con vent or bishop should employ a per manent copyist, "using only Roman letters," for tho making of books. The Church monopolized this art up to tho twelfth century, when tho ignoranco of tho inferior clergy, and later the in fluence of St. Francis d'Asaisi, who forbado Bible, breviary, and psalter to his order, made way for tho lay book sellers who congregated about the great schools of theology liko Padua and Paris. But tho church still arro gated superintendence and censorship; tlio University of Paris required "tho stationers, vulgarly called booksellers" the first name coming from their selling at a station or shop "to tell the truth, without deceit or lying, touching the prieo of books," which 'was fixed by four master book sellers appointed by tho University, with four deniors profit when sold to teachers or scholars, or six deniers when sold to tho publio. Even then tho bcoki-clk-r might not buy a book lor saio until it had boon exposed five days in tho hall of the university, and its purchaso dclined by teachers and scholars ; and ho was obliged to loan it for copying, at a small fixed price, to any student giving security. Const nncntlv tho univeraitv was. later on, compelled to fulminate against baio booksellers who,naturally desiring to cam a living, did not uphold tho dignity ot tneir protession, but mixed it up with "vile trades," such as "frip peries and liko haber-dashery,'' as mod ern booksellers have also been compelled to do. Vellum becarao scarce, and tho richer buyers disdained paper. This fact promoted the differentiation of look-making into two distinct divisional on tho ono side tho superb missals of tho religious orders and tho daintily written and bound troubadour books of tho courts ; on tho other, a flood of alphabets, primers, creeds, prayer books, and crudo sohool-book, won derfully cheap, from a groschen up, raado by unproftssinnal copyists, do manded as tho result of tho Church schools, tho work of such early reform crs as Wycliffo and IIuss, and the ecu eral awakening of Europe.

But Joe jumped down, slipped the chain off thu yoko, drove the steers to ono side, and then wnlkcd over to tlio stump and said i Sometimes tho dirt Hies over nan an aero of ground.

So 'long, old man." And ho climbed in and drovo oit. At a bend in tho road half a rnllo away they looked back.

A Real Western Play. I1U.1, NYK ATTEMPT IN A HKE1ILE 'WAY TO CniTICISE AMZONA JOE. Last evening Arizona Joo, tho shoot ing star, closed his engagement at tho Windsor in "Tho Black Hawks,'' n play that is very much fraught with thrill. The scciio is laid in Arizona and Now Mexico at a time when the country was now and tho song of tho six-shooter was heard in tho land. Tho Black Hawks, from whom tho play derives its name, seem to bo a nomadio tribe of men who obtain a pro carious livelihood by seizing a woman every littlo whilo who insists on stroll ing across tho plains dressed in a plug hat with a veil around it. Sho is also a victim to tho bluo flannel riding habit. Thcso robbers, who aro really whilo men from Fort Lee, solzo their victim by the wrist and in hoarst accents toll her to prepare to meet her fate. But sho does not want to do so without an opportunity to change hor dress. Sho asks thorn to spare her it they over had a mother. But always just as sho is asking if any gentlemen present has a mother, and is doing up her hair pre paratory to meeting her doom, Arizona Joe bursts forth, accompanied by his long hair, and kills all of them except the lady. He then rescues her and takes her away to his cabin, where sho is perfectly safe and thero is no scandal connected with it for Arizona Joe is a man who has had a mother, and, although ho frequently kills people, a woman is just as safo in his cabin as sho would bo in her own home. Ari zona Joo makes a speciality of preserv ing and rescuing. He has all he can do, and by tho time ho can bury his dead and change his clothes there is somebody else on the trail who desires to bo rescued. Arizona Joo is not a largo man, but is noted for bis long nnd taleuted hair whii5h parts at tho back and shows how his head is fastened on. Ho has a won derful wealth of hair and would have raado a verv trood Sutherland sister if ho had given his attention to it earlier in life. The plot of tho play seems to bo to afford Arizona Joo overy possible- facilty lor slaughtering supes and preserving tho lives of vounc women who are in tho habit of crossing the plains in cro quet slippers. And yet it is to bo ro gretted that so many of thcso supes who really have not tried to act at all should be killed that way, whilo thoso who really take a part in the play and who thereby arouse the indignation of the audiences should'bo spared. Arizona Joo changes his hat when ever he successfully kills anybody. It is also notieeablo that ho wears a red tio when ho is in the elatighcr business and a creen tie when ho rescues a young woman who is going through a hostuo country without an escort. At one point in the play where A. J. has rescued a young woman and taken her to his cabin, where sho had been for three or four weeks waiting for her parents to como on from Atchison, I noticed that she and Joe had iu tbo confusion attendant on tho rcscuo and preservation traded nockties with each other, but I do not think that should be used against them. Four dogs,a pearl-gray jackass and a hollow stump also take part in tho play. At ono point a dog comes in bringing a birthmark in his mouth, when Arizona Joo at once jumps at tho conclusion that thero is somo human beinc near by. Long life on tho border has taught mm that a birthmark is ono ot the very best evidences that somo one is not far away. So with a quick Waterbury movement, ho dashes out and finds a covey of people who aro orossing the plains without his consent. He kills thern,ohangcs his necktieBO that ho will not bo recognized, and goes homo by a circuitous route. Along at this point in the play, a variety Irishman and an impossible negro como out aud sing a topical song of of tho time of Queen Anne. Tho song is not so bad as I have heard, but it was difficult to judge it, as the people who wero going out at tho time drowned tho musio with their heavy foot prints. Looking at Arizona Joo last evening in his strange wild beauty, ono conld hardly help from admiring him, for with all his poverty, beauty and temp tation to lead a life of shame, ho does not yield, but goes bravely on earning a precarious livelihood by killing dis agreeable people with who'm he comes in contact. Ho never murmurs over his lot, and no ear ever hears him com plain unions it bo tho frontier. As a Mexican hairless humorist he would not succeed, but in his great role as a preserver of stage coaohes, bo does well. I would suggest to any ono con templating i trip across Now Mexico or Arizona by Tantivy coach, that they cannot get their rescuing done with lees delay or annoyance than by giving their orders to Arizona Joo. Tho coatuiws used in this play aro mostly of tho piescnt century, and are quite realistic though tho whiskers used by somo of old Cauliflower's band are not a good fit for thoso who wear them, Ono man especially wears a beard which is too tight for him, and pulls his ears down too low, besides sawing across tho under sido of his noso and giving his voico a rich nasal twang. A stage beard in hot weather should al so havo a nolo cut in it for tho mouth, not only to givo it a tingo of realism but in order to afford air to the man who wears it. Without wishing to critiolso tho play, I would say that it would bo more realistic with less conversation and more whisky, and if tho author had put loss death in it it would havo been more lifelike.

Familiar "Americanisms.'' an ENnt.isii oiimnvr.u points ovt imp. I'KttENUES IN Till'. COMMON LANGUAGE. Probably tho most frcquont question which is put to nil Englishman visiting theso shores for tlio first time, nftor having grappled with tlio poser, What do you think of America? is, Do you find much difference in tlio dialeots of tho tivo countries? That there is a difference nobody will deny) but among tlio refined class in New York, apatt from certain local express ions, it is far less notironblo than would havo been expected. Tho first thing that would strike a Londoner is probably tho lazy, familiar "Ye-ah" by which you aro answered on all sides by persons from whom, in England, you would expect "Yes, sir;" whilo "See hero" is also peculiarly Amorican. If tho person you are addressing docs not catcli your remark, ho will ftartlo you with "What's that?" "What is it?" or "How?" when in England ho is ac customed to "What?'' "Eh?" or "Beg pardon?'' under similar circumstances. Thero is no exact corresponding ex pression in English for "to get left" and "to got there," tho nearest ap proach being "to bo in tlio cart" aud "to pull through." Tho English never uso tho words "previous" or "fresh" (impudent), "rare meat" (underdone), "fleshy" (stout), "despatch" (telegram), "full" (tipsy), "homely" (plain, addised to persons). An American child will call her parents mamma and pappa, and will causo a shout of laughter or a shocked look when sho speaks of "hugs" for ordinary insects, this term being exclusively reserved in England for tho "bed" species. It is hardly necessary to allude to tho use of tho word "guess" (Anglice, "I fancy" or "I think"), as from timo immemorial an Englishman thinks ho has only got to say "I guess" and talk through his noso to imagino ho is talking "real good Yankee." "Dude" is unknown in England, aud no ono thero would know what was meant by a "dry-goods storo" (linen-draper's). Londoners havo nothing grandei than "houso porter" to correspond to "janitor," and would possibly bo puz zled to know what was meant by "a high-stoop houso" or an "English base ment house." They would also ask for tho "lift" in placo of tho "elevator'' and would think it slranco not to have to go up ono flight to tho "first" floor, as in England thoy are accustomed to call this latter the "ground floor.'' Such slangy expressions as "You make mo tired," "To blow you off," "I feel a kinder good," "I havo had a real elo gaut time," aro characteristically American. If you ask an American to tako a drink, ho will reply, "I should smile," tho meaning of which is obvious, and bo may possibly offer to givo you "points" (tips) on somo coming race. Tho word "boss" takes tlio placo of our "governor," except when a London street Arab means to bo pavticulaily polite and to gain your custom for a box of lights, &?., when nothing under a "capt'n" or "my lord" is good enough. Tho Americans pride themselves on speaking very correctly, and certainly it is only very rarely that ono hears an h dropped or put in tho wrong place; but on tho other hand, ono constantly hears "Was jou there?" and tho uso of tho word "every wherc-s" in its plural form. On this side they speak of "mail ing" for posting a letter, aud tako the "siago to the depot" in placo of the "omnibus" (bus) or trams to the station or terminus. The word "candy" in America seems to cover all kinds of sweetmeats, which aro generrally call ed "sweots" by tho crowd and "sugar plums" by tho select in England. Thero is a corruption of the good old Scotch word "toffee," ueed generally here, viz., "taffee," and it sounds comi cal to English ears to ask for a pieco of apple-pie in place of tart, pie being only used when speaking of meat.

Tho lady, in deep mourning and eyes bedimmed with tears, readily assonted, and in a few moments a servant appeared with a good-sized bundlo ol clothes, tho door closed, tho petitioner left a houso on Washington boulevard, where death had visited tbo night before, turned tho next corner, met a confederate, deliver ed the bundlo to him, and tho latest Eastern racket had worked to a nicety.

Tho trio accompanied him to mo sign oi mo tiireo golden ppheres, and a moment later emctcid with clean fates and sombro looks. Each was accompanied by a confederate, They wore armed with tho residences and names of men who had dind tho pr.'vious night, copied from tho death notices contained in tho morning pap. ors. Tho reporter singled out a pair and followed them dorn to Clark street. Hero tho two boarded a north bound street car, riding as far as Lin coln I'aik. Following them, tlio re porter was carried down Garfield aven ue. Tho pair wero in advaueo of the Horibe about ono hundreds' yards. Sud dcnly tho "unwashed" puty turned a corner. The nthi r kept on until a house was readied, in front of which ho halted. Thero had been a death in tho houso, as was ovinonl by a long piece of :rape pendant from tho door knob. Tho man timidly rang tho bi ll, nnd a domestic answered tho summons. The caller desired to sco tho lady of the house. Tho lady could not be teen, A great bereavement ti e loss of her hufbaud hail so worked upon her tijat sho was confined to her room. The caller was not to bo put off in this way. Ho insisted mildly, yet emphatically, and tho lady of whom ho was In quest soon came to the door. The samo story as was poured into tho sympa thetic car of tlio Washington boulo vard widow was given here, and was equally successful, for, ns before, a bundlo wns the outcome of tho conver sation. As before, too, the clothes wero handed to the man around tho corner. Thrco other houses wcro visit ed, only ono of which, howover, any clothes wcro gotlen from. And so, with tho bundles, the pair icturncd tho way they had come, obtained tho ready cash for tho fruits of their labors, and returned to tlio groggory, whero thoy spent tho money obtained in this man ner.

Plating tho Dead. Tho disposition of the body after death has been a subject of interest from tho earliest recorded era. Tho classic writings aro filled with refer ences to this matter; and tho various kinds of burial or its equivalent, and tho ccrcmonicB attendant upon tho last rites, form no inconsiderable poitiou of both Greek and Latin literature. Tho ancient kinds of burial wero chiefly four burying, burning, embalming, and storing, tlio latter having reference to catacombs, vaults and similar recept acles. All aro too familiar to need more than a passing refcrenco. Tlio custom of tho Jews seems to havo been to bury tho bodies of tho dead; tho Egyptians wero tho great mailers of tho art of embalming; tho Romans excavated tho great catacombs which aro ono of tho wonders of tho Eternal City to-day; whilo tho practice of burning bodies seems to have ob tained generally among most ancient nations in certain circumstances. Modern Fcicnce, on sanitary ground, lias determined positively against tho common practico of inhumation. Wherever tlio population is dense as it is in all great cities it is seen at onco thatthecustom of burying tho bod ies of deceased persons ts a certain and fruitful Fourco of disoase. Water and air aro aliko polluted and rendered dangerous to lite by tho placing in tbo earth of the lifeless lumps of day which will in timo bo resolved into their original elements; but which in tho meantime, givo forth noxious exhala tions. For this reason the practico of intra-mural burial has been done away with, and modern cemeteries are placed as far as possiDlo from municipal cen tres. In lieu of inhumation, the scientists of tho present day havo devised four methods namely, cremation, cooking, cementation and cleotro-plating. Cremation is only tho old timo class ic pyre, without any of its unpleasant and revolting attendants. Tho body is reduced to handful of ashes by in tense heat in a furnace so arranged that nothing disagreeablo passes off during tho process. Tho process of cookinc is similar; but instead of being burned, the body is cxposod to a flamcless heat and re duced to a hard, brittlo substance in stead of ashes. Cen.cntation docs not deal directly witn tho body, but with its environ ment. It consists in hermetically seal ing tho cofiiu by placinu a coat of the hnest cement all arourd it. Tho ad vantages of a sarcophagus aro in this way secured without much expense. But the last method, and one which is growing into popular favor is electro-plating. It is the application of a perfectly even metallio coatincr to tho surface of tho body itself by the samo process as that which produces an electrotype plate. Tho method is briefly this: Tho body is waslud with alcohol and sprinkled over with fino graphre powder to insuro tlio perfeo. conduc tion of electricity. It is then placed in a bath of metalic solution containing a iicce of tho metal to bo URed. To this is attached tho positive polo of a strong battery; tbo negative polo 's applied to the corpse, and a fine film of the metal at once begins to cover the body per fectly and evenlv. 1 Ins may be kept up until tho coating attaius any desir ed thickness. To this process thero would seem to bo no valid objection. In effect it transforms the corpso into a beautiful statue form, features and even ex pression being perfectly preserved. Tlio body being hermetically sealed within its metal inclosure, merely dries up aud assumes tho aspect of q mummy. This method obviates many objec tions which havo been urged against cremation, and at tho same tune meets the wishes of those whose sentiment, if nothing ols",inclines them to favor tho human form divine, which its reduction lo a handful of ashes causes to many people is entirely dono away with, as no rudo hand is laid upon tho onco loved form. No change is brought about in appearauco except that fqce and figuro aro covered with a shining veil, through which tho familar linea ments appear with their well-remera-beicd characteristics and expression. Tho worst case heard of latoly was that of a man who had drank so much poor whisky that his breath was strong enough to run a gas engine. HANDSOME WEDDINQ, BIRTHDAY OR HOLIDAY PRESENT.
