Mistakes of printers are proverbial, but
nvmy if not most of them are traceable to
bad copy. Some years ago, when the late
James Watson Webb was editor of the
Courier and Enquirer, he had a verbal set
to with Theodore E. Tomlinson, then a
lively practising lawyer with a strong
interest in politics. The editor had con
siderably the advantage of the lawyer in
having nis newspaper at command. Tom
linson on one occasion determined to give
the editor a shot, and fixed up a speech for
and public meeting on the Battery. One
paragraph of this speech was particularly
severe, and the point of it was that Mr.
Tomlinson insinuated that his opponent had
done certain things, by a series of allega
tions that he, Tomlinson, had not done them.
One of Mr. Tomlinson’s sentences was this;
‘‘l never crawled on my belly to secure a
bribe.” But in the Herald of the next day
Mr. Tomlinson was represented as saying,
I never crawled on my belly to secure a
wife” Of course Mr. Tomlinson was
furious, and he went to the Herald office to
blow up the reporter. But his chagrin and
deteat may be imagined when the fact is
recorded tnat he was confronted with his
own manuscript, where he bad written the
word “bribe” in such a way that the
P™ter was quite justified in making it
Mistakes of architects and engineers are
sometimes costly. An illustration is seen in

There are, in fact, all sorts of mistakes
in all the trades and professions, and this
recalls a venerable but appropriate joke
which describes a word battle between a
lawyer and a doctor.
“Your mistakes are fatal," said thedoctor,
whan your clients are found on the scaf
fold.”
“And yours,” said the lawyer, “when your
patients are found in the graveyard.”
The memory is largely made up of the
association of ideas. Most of what we know
lies dormant in the mind, to be awakened
by some idea revived by association. Avery
slight derangement of the mental faculties
produces curious mistakes of association, so
that ideas arise in the wrong place. There
is a close analogy between the confusion of
thought that occurs in dreams and insane
ravings. There are lucid intervals in both.
It is not unusual for well persons who have
* n ndnd a particular person to mistake
others for that person. Such mistakes are
frequent with persons of disordered mind,
who are apt to mistake almost anybodv for
some others who have done them real or
fancied injury, and whose image appears to
be ever present in the memory, ana easily
c ®ll®d up by some slight association of ideas.
Mistakes of forgetfulness are apt to be
come more frequent as we grow older. All
sorts of expedients are adopted to provide
for it. A man who had been caught several
times without money, through forgetting to
change his poeketbook when he changed his
clothing, adopted the expedient of keeping
money in each suit of clothing, so that when
he did forget he was prepared for it.
RAILROAD INVENTIONS.
The Great Army of Inventors Who Are
Interested in Railroads.
From the New York Evening Sun.
The hall and exhibition rooms of the Mas
ter Car Builders’ Association, 113 Liberty
st reet, has been put in apple pie order by
Janitor William PureelJ. It is daily visited
by a large number of inventors, who are
anxious that their models may be placed in
the best positions for observation and ex
amination by the members of the associa
tion prior to their departure for their
annual convention, to be held in Minne
apolis on June 14. Usually the car coupler
cranks outnumber all other inventors and
exhibitors by four to one, but lately they
have been held pretty even numerisally by
those who have car heaters to show.
Said Mr. Purcell this morning: “If all the
models in this room were placed on sale by
auction to-day I doubt if they would bring
in the aggregate 8500, and yet they repre
sent years or toil and study and of hope and
hundreds of thousands of dollars of money.
Amoiyj railroad men it is universally ad
mittea that the common method of coupling
cars is about as primitive and as dangerous
to life and limb as can lx* devised, and that
the man who invents a proper substitute for
it will reap both fame and fortune. The
Patent Office has issued over 3,000 patents
for improved and automatic couplers, and
yet none has been invented which seems to
be perfect under all tho requirements of
railroading. Men have spent the best por
tions of their lives in devising couplers only
to find when they were subjected to practical
use that they had defects that were fatal
and could not be corrected.”
Said an inventor: “There are plenty of
couplers that are practical and safe, but the
great trouble is that their first cost is a little
more than that of the ordinary man killer,
and as money is dear and brakemen are
cheap they won t adopt them.”
“I hardly think that it is fair to the rail
roads responded a third. “In my opinion,
the great obstacle to the adoption of the
automatic couplers is the lack of uniformity
in the height of cars. The master car build
ers have adopted a standard, but they have
no means of enforcing it on roads. If all
the cars could be made of one uniform
height, there would be but little difficulty
in devising an automatic coupler that would
work; but at present you might as well try
to make a straight stick without two ends as
a coupler that will do the work required by
present circumstances.”
SOLDIER AND TYPE-WRITER.
What an lowa Man Thinks of Govern
ment Employes.
From the Washington Star.
The soldier, as well as the visitors who
are here attending the drill, generally man
age to take in the sights of the city, which,
of course, include a visit to the government
departments. In the passage through the
halls and rooms of the public buildings of
this constant stream of visitors there aro
naturally a good many amusing incidents
constantly occurring. The other day a tali
man, wearing a uniform, was marching
through the corridors of the post office de
partment, peering into the rooms, and evi
dently bound to that was go
ing on. The cHclc of a type-writer caused
him to pause before venturing to come into
the presence of the lad}' operator, who hap
pened at that time to be the only one in the
room. Presently, however, he walked in,
and the lady noticing his presence stopped
her work and asked pleasantly what she
could do for him
“Oh, nothing,” he replied, looking curi
ously at the type-writer, “I was just
looking around.. 'May I ask what you are
doing r
“I am working on a type-writer,” was
the reply. “Have you never seen one be
fore!”
“No, I liave not.” said the soldier, “but I
have seen the work.”
“Come around here then” said the lady,
“and you can see how it operates. ”
The soldier stepped to the side of the
operator's desk and watched her deft fingers
playing over the key-board, and then he re
marked, “Do you do this all day!”
“Yes, I keep at work pretty Constantly all
day,” was the reply.
“Well,” said the soldier, after a pause, “I
believe that I would rather hoe in the gar
den than do that all day.”
“Where did you come from?” asked the
operator, considerably amused by the com
parison.
“I live in lowa,” said the soldier, simply.
“Out our way the people think you all havo
a pretty easy time here in Washington, but
if you have to work like that, I heliovo I
would rather stick to the garden.’
After watching the operator a little while
longer the soldier wandered away.
NOT WIDE AWAKE ENOUGH.
A Story of Love and Drowsiness from
Pennsylvania’s Wilds.
From the Sew York Sun.
Johnstown, Pa.. May 27.—A prominent
young fanner of Trough Creek Valley has
been paying his attention* to the daughter
of another well-known farmer in the vi
cinity. He saddled his best horse aud rode
to his girl’s house to call on her the other
evening. He was so insensible to her
charms that he fell asleep on the sofa where
he was sitting early in the evening. When
ho awoke it was daylight. The sleepy swain
hurried from the house. As he went out he
saw that a paper was pinned to the In pel of
his coat. On it was written:
“You are not wide awake enough to suit
me.”
The young man went to whore he had loft
his horse, but the horse was gone. He discov
ered his saddle on the roof peak of the barn,
anti a pitchfork had been thrust through it
to keep it there. The lover did not tarry to
recover it, but started home afoot, lie had
to walk three miles. His horse was home.
The saddle was sent for, and tho drowsy
youth will look elsewhere for a wife.

FAtWWTT MAMMOTH METEOR.
A Celestial Visitor Creates a Big Pit at
Lowmanvllle.
A Lowmanville, N. Y., dispatch to the
New York Herald says: The descent of a
mammoth meteor into this isaolated locality
Is the talk for miles around and hundreds
witnessed to-day the huge hole in the ground
where it fell.
Robert Wells, a farmer living near here,
had returned from Elmira about 11 p. m.,
and was just putting out his horses when ho
saw an immense ballot fire shooting through
the air. The brilliancy was startling aud
dazzling and Its hissing sound was very
alarming to him. It dropped, he thought,
within a thousand feet of where he stood,
but efforts to find it were futile till this
morning, when the place of its descent was
discovered over a mile away on the farm of
James Harney.
The hole is fully 40 feet across, and is in
about the centre of a ten-acre lot. The pit
is irregular in shape, and the wet earth
around the edges have caved 'in, showing
that the meteor is much smaller than thore
dimensions.
An effort will be made to dig down to it
by the curious farmers. The meteoric stone
is evidently pretty deep, as the pit is now
about 20 feet deep, the stone having curried
the earth with it.
Rabbis With the New Testament.
Vienna Dispatch to the London Times.
The New Testament, which was trans
lated into Hebrew by the late Rev. Isaac
Salkiuson, uiissionarry among the Jews of
Vienna, of the British Jews’ Society in Lon
don, has been reprinted here in a second edi
tion of 120,000 copies. Of this number
100,000 have been nought by the sutwerip
tion of one generous Scotch donor, who re
quested that they might be distributed
gratis among Hebrew-reading Jews
all over the continent. Two mission
aides lately came from England to muke a
distribution from Vienna, and they have
been sending copies to about 300 rabbis,
many of whom have undertaken to circu
late these Scriptures among their co-religion
ists. Very few have stated that they had
any objection to read the New Testament.
In connection with this movement it may
be mentioned that one of the most learned
and respected of Hungarian rabbis, Dr. J.
Lichtenstein, who has been thirty-five years
rabbi of Tapio-Szele, has lately startled his
co-religionists by two pamphlets in which
ho affirms the divinity of Christ. The pam
phlets, being very ably written, have been
noticed by all the leading newspapers,
and have raised much controversy, as Dr.
Lichtenstein professes to remain obedient to
the Mosaic dispensation while recognizing
that Christ was the Messiah.
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
SCRATCHED 28 YEARS.
A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease
with Endless Suffering Cured
by Cuticura Remedies.
IF I had known of the CimccßA Rememes
twenty-eight, years ago it would have saved
me $2OO (two hundred dollars) and an immense
amount of suffering. My disease (Psoriasis) com
menced on my head in a spot not larger than a
cent. It spread rapidly all over my body and
got under my nails. The scales would drop off
of me all the time, aud nay suffering was end
less, and without relief. One thousand dollars
would not tempt me to have this disease over
again. lam a poor man, but feel rich to be re
lieved of what some of the doctors said was
leprosy, some ring worm, psoriasis, etc. I took
aud : Sarsaparilla* over one year and
a half, hut no cure. I went to two or three doc
tors and no cure. I cannot praise the Octictra
Remedies too much. They hat e made my skin
as clear and free front scales as a baby's. All I
used of them was three boxes of Cuticura, and
three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and two
cakes of Cuticura Soap. If you had been here
and said you would liave cured me for $2OO you
would have had the money. I looked like the
picture in your book of Psoriasis (Picture num
ber two “How to Cure Skin Diseases”), but now
lam as clear as any person ever was. Through
force of habit I rub my hands over my arms
and legs to scratch once in awhile, but to no
purpose. I am all well. I scratched twenty
eight years, and it got to be a kind of second
nature to me I thank you a thousand times.
