THE’OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
ft Waa Eitobltahed !u CUina In the ElthUl
Crutary.
The oldest newspaper in the world is
the Tsing-Pao, or Peking News, founded
in the year 710 A. D. Until quite late
ly it was generally supposed that the
Kin Pau, a Chinese journal published
in Peking for the last thousand years,
was the oldest newspaper in the world.
In a very able work recently published,
however, Imbault Huart, the French
consul at Canton, au ws that this high
honor belongs to the Tsing-Pao, which
baa been published continuously since
the year 710 and is even said to have
been founded some 200 years before
that date, or early in the sixth century,
800 years before a newspaper was known
in Europe.
The Tsing-Pao now appears as a book
of 24 pages, octavo size, tied in a yel
low cover by two knots of rice paper.
Each page has seven columns, and each
column has seven characters, or letters,
which read from top to bottom. The
types are made of willow wood. This
is the “edition de luxe” officially recog
nized by the emperor, and the price of
which is about 24 cents a month. There
is also a popular edition, got up rough
ly on poor paper and printed, or rather
daubed, from a plate of engraved wax.
Thia costs 10 cents per month and is
Issued an hour before the other.
It is the official journal of the gov
ernment—the “Times” of China. It
gives all the details concerning the per
son of the emperor, his movements, his
maladies, his remedies, the imperial
decrees and the reports of the ministers,
in the printing of which every error is
punished with death.
It announces to all the provinces the«
date which has been fixed by the gm
peror for the people to change their
summer hats for winter ones, which
they are expected to do as one man.
This journal is easy to read, for it ap
pears in tin English translation in
Shanghai. B
After the Tsing-Pao the most impor
tant paper inCbind is of modern date—
the Chin-Pao, or Shanghai News,
founded in 1872. It has a circulation of
some 15,000 copies, and at the close of
the Franco-Chinese war Li Hung Chang
made use of it —an innovation till then
unknown—to influence public opinion
and demonstrate by history the rights
of the Chinese over Anam.
Chinese newspapers are usually print
ed on yellow paper, which is changed to
blue in case of mourning and red on
gala days. One paper has three editions
each day—on yellow paper in the morn
ing, gray at noon and white at night—
so that the sellers cannot substitute one
edition for another in serving their cus
tomers. Another journal has a title
which signifies “the reproduction of
what it is necessary to know, ” all given
on a couple of pages, octavo size. They
readily attempt to “en-Chiheße” foreign
words, as, for instance, the word “tele
phone” is made to read “to-il foung. ”
The Chinese press, like many of their
other institutions, has remained station
ary for 1,000 years, but is now begin
ning to wake up and modernize itself.
—San Francisco Call.
The Texas Girl.
Chivalry used to be described as a
southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men of the north
are unchivalrous it is quite possible
that in the south women are still re
garded with a greater degree of formal
reverence than elsewhere. A native of
Texas describes with enthusiasm the
women of his state and shows why they
cannot fail to excite admiration. “They
are,” he declares, “swfiet, polite, gra
cious and courageous; they do not curse
or swear; they do not use slang, and are
not drunkards. Most of them ride well
on horseback and can use the six shooter,
but do not want to take away a man’s
job or position.” Could a more engag
ing picture be drawn? These lovely
compounds of sweetness and strength
know their power, but do not abuse it.
They may resent injury in the most ef
fective fashion, but they are not mean.
They will hesitate before shooting a
man who has a family dependent upon
him. They are no mere amazons. The
fact that they do not curse and swear
shows that they possess also the gentler
domestic virtues. Those who are in
search of the ideal girl should purchase
a’ticket for Texas.—Providence Jour
nal.
The Odor of the Opera.
The confirmed opera goer drew a long
breath. “That would make me happy if
it blew over my grave,” he murmured
blissfully.
The woman with him looked at him
doubtfully. “What’s blowing?” she
asked unsympathetically.
“It’s the perfume,” he explained.
“One always gets it when the curtain
rises on the second act. The house is
full by that time and the odors of the
flowers and perfumes have grown
heavy. The air is close and oppressive
during the entr’acte, but when the cur
tain goes up the draft sweeps out and
catches that indescribable odor and
whirls it up hero to the dress circle.
It’s not like anything else. No theater
has it. It’s the essence of opera flowers
and laces and jewels and beauty and
music. I’d recognize a whiff of it in
paradise. Just ask any old chap who
has been coming here for years about
it He’ll know what I mean.”—New
York Sun.
Celebrating Hie Deliverance.
“Herbert” asked the young wife
timidly, “is this the kind of mince pie
your mother used to make?”
“No, dear, ” answered the young hus
band. “My mother never made mince
pies. She was a health reform lecturer. ’ 1
And Herbert helped himself to a sec
ond cut.—Chicago Tribune.
