COMPOSITORS' "HOWLERS."

HOW PROOF-READERS STIFLE HUMOUR.... Ever since printing was invented a duel has boen in progress in the printing offices of the world between, the compositor and the proof. reader. It is the compositor's duty to “set-up ". that which appears in, bis "copy," but some- times becauss he is unable to decipher the maascript, or because his soul soars above re- strictions, or, again, because he is thinking of things other than his work, he perpetrates howlers that if allowed to reach the public would add greatly to the galety of nations.

Unfortunately, or fortunataly—it all depends on the point of view-theks lapsas on the part of the compositor rarely come under the notice of the gon; ral pubile. They are--or they should beatified immediately after their birth by the proof-render, whose duty it is to see that the compositer does not misrepresent the author..

Sometimes, however, the proof-reader node, and in this connection the inte Lord, Goachen told, at a public dinner, a story of a reader who worked for his (Lord Goschen's) grandfather, and who, in answer to a denunciation from this employer, cried-

The cost of Docking, and repair work, will be found to compare favourably with that' of any port in the world.

During a recent election a daily referred to the popularity of the well-known Lancashire foxes."

Abbreviations are at timics the bane of the compositor, but he had no excuse for setting: up, in an account of a Mansion House fanc- tion, that among those present were "Old I-aar and Old Treloar." He should have kno that "Ald," was an abbreviation of "Aldermau." In the same "take.' of copy the "Lord Mayor was recrived with a 'crash (should be "eclas"), and was followed by the Sheriff in their 'margarine ('mi zarine')
