MISTAKES IN THE PAPER, 1.

All readers of newspapers—and that means everybody, nowadays-find mistakes in their favorite journal, some of which are amusing and some decidedly annoying; but few stop to think how small the proportion of mistakes, that is, mechanical mistaken, is to that which is absolutely correct, nor do they know, ax a rule, the difficulty which attends the making op and getting out of a daily newspaper.
For example, names of persons and places are often given incorrectly in the telegraphic columns, especially if the person be obscure of

He will reproduce a Constantinopolitan street, show most of the striking features of Turkish life and have a novel And interesting collection of Turkish goods and curios.

In every well-regulated office naties are checked by the gaatteer or cyclopedia of blography, or in some such way, but the trouble comes with the names which have not yet got into the books of reference.

even the skill of the proof-render to present to | zr, you the readers of the newspaper in correct forms. Again, the time limit on a daily paper is so small that mistakes are inevitable because there le not time enough to look them up and correct them. The dear public, for whom newspapers are made, demands its news fresh and plping bot, the cont quince being that the newspapers. must put off going to press until the very intent parable moment. If the reader who fussen over an occasional mistake could be admitted behind the scenes and see the last few minutes before the
paper goes to press he would wonder that it was not all mistakes instead of being sub- stantially correct in every essential respect.
This has been sld not by way of apology, for the daily newspaper needs no apologist, but by way of explanation. It is so easy to criticise, especially upon a subject of which we know comvery little, and our critici m pleases ourselves, if nobody else, All we desire to suggest is that when the critic finds the name of some little hamlet in Russia spelled with a i too many or too few, or the name of some South Sex island princeling put in a form which he does not recognize at once, he should ascribe the error not to ignorance or carelessness, but to circum stances over which even the newspaper could bare no control-5.

France has asked 25,000 and The Hague 11,000 square feet of space for their picture exhibits alone. Until recently it was thought that the weakest feature of the Exposition would be its fine arts exhibit. Now, however, it is belleved that this will be one of the beat of all, ewing to the fact that Europena artists recognize in Americans the best purchasers of their work, and they are anxious to take advantage of the exceptional, oppurtunity which the Exposition will offer them to show their paintings to the American people.
HOW THE PRESIDENTS DIED. George Washington-His death was the result of a severe celd contracted while riding around his farm in a rain and sleet storm on December 10, 1799. The cold increased and was followed by a chill, which brought on acute laryngitis. His death occurred on December 14, 1799. He was sixty-eight years of age,
John Adams-He died from old uge, baving reached his ninety-first milestone. Though active mentally, bo was nearly blind, and unable to hold a pen steadily enough to write. He passed away without pain on July 4, 1826.
Thomas Jefferson. He died at the age of eighty-three, a few hours before Adams on July 4 1826. His disease was chronic diarrhea, superinduced by old age and, his physician said, the too free use of the waters of the White Sulphur Springs.
James Madison.-He, too, died of old age, and peacefully, on June 28, 1836. His faculties were undimmed to the last. He was eighty-fire.
James Monroe.-At the time of his death, which occurred in the seventy-third year of his age, on July 4, 1831, it was assigned to no other cause than enfeebled health.
John Quincy Adams.--He was stricken with paralyals on February 31, 1848, while addressing the Speaker of the House of Representatives, being at the time a member of Congress, Ho died in the rotunda of the Capitol. He was eighty-one years of age.
Andrew Jackson. He died on June 8, 1845, eventy-eight years old. He suffered from con- sumpilon and finally dropsy, which made its appearance about six months before his deaib.
Martin Van Buren-He died on July 24, 1867, from a violent attack of mathme, followed by catarrhal afficifone of the throat and lungs. He was eighty years of age,
William Henry Harrison-The cause of his death was plenelay, the result of a cold, which he caught on the day of his inauguration. This was accomprated with severe diarrken, which would not yield to medical treatment. His death occurred on April 4, 1841, a month after this inauguradon. He was sixty-eight years of John Tyler.He died on January 17, 1852, at 1. the age ol 72. We have been unable to ascertain

GETTING INTO SOCIETY.
Ward McAllister, writing In the New York World, says that society includes the whole social world" The Smart Set," "The Literary Set," fa fact, all sets. In the words of Disraeli, Personal distinction is the only passport to it. Whether this distinction arises from fortune, family, or talent is immaterial, but certain it is to enter the best society, a man mast have, either blood, a million or genius.
I cannot conclude this article better than by giving you the following from Disraeli as a bright and telling view of what he thought would be human happiness.
