Chese definitions of printing are based on its
derivation from the Latin, premo, to press, and on
the supposition that its most characteristic feature
is impression, from a technical point of view, the
definitions are incomplete; for printing and typogra-
phy are made synonimous, while many leading, but
totaily different, methods of Impressing letters, char-
acters and figures, are not even noticed. Impression
is employed in the manufacture of calico, paper-hang-
ings, oil-cloth, figured crockery, and many other arts
which have no connection with each other. Under
right conditions, the action or the impress of light,

the pressure of the breath makes hollow glassware.
M4oulding, coining, stamping and embossing are
other methods of impression; but the men who prac-

word printing has acquired a conventional meaning
not entirely warranted by its derivation. It means
much more than impression. Itis commonly under-

and typography are not strictly synonimous, as

 Surfeit of Cherries.
Since I your cherry lips did hiss,
Where nectar and ambrosia is,
Ty hungry maw no meat requires,
My thirsty throat no drink de-
sires;
for, by your breath which then I
gained,
Chameleon like my life main-
tained.
0 grant me then those cherries
still,
Jind let me feed on them my fill I
If by a surfeit death I get,
Upon my tomb let this be set:
nBy cherries twain his life he
cherished;
By cherries twatnilat length be
perished."

Che period of the invention of typogra-
phy may be placed between the years 1438
and 1450. Chere have been many claim-
ants for the honor of the invention. Gach
of the following fifteen cities or towns---
Hugsburg, Basle, Bologna, Dordrecht,
feltre, florence, f5aarlem, Lubech, TIentz,
$uremberg, Rome, Rusemburg, Strasburg,
Schelestadt and Venice---has been specifled
by as many different authors as the true
birthplace of typography. Che names of

unnecessary to review them. the limits of

Printers' Mrisdom.
printers are classed among the smartest
of men,
Because wisdom they impart with type
and with pen;
End the smartest of them all knowingly
declare,
Mith Copper-Mixed Cype there is none
to compare.
Our success to their good judgment is
surely due,
for they know a good thing when it comes
in plain view-
printers everywhere and of almost every
stripe
71re daily singing praises of Copper-
Mixed cype.
Offices where patience and temper are lost
Hire those where the printer did not count
the cost-
Wlhere curses and anger are always ripe-
By failing to buy Superior Copper-
Mixed Cype.
