Pranks of the Types.

Tom Moore wrote the line, "Had

taken up in heaven his position," but the printer made it read, "Had taken up to heaven his physician." In a weekly story paper a love story con-

tained no less man twenty ridiculous errors. Instead of falling into a reverie the young lady fell into the river; "bull pup" appeared for "pull up," "nasal" for "natal" and "trombone" for "trembling." The fair heroine was awfully "hungry" instead of "angry." Her heart was filled with "et ceteras" and not "ecstasies," and when she meant to say "thine" the types made her say, "I am thin, I am wholly thin." A newspaper in telling of a cow cut into halves by a railway train said the cow was cut into calves.
