THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.

It Was Established In China In the Eighth Century.

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 Pan, 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, shows that this high honor belongs to the Tsing-Pao, which has 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 ef 24 pages, octavo size, tied in a yel- low cover by two knots of rice paper. Each page bas seven columns, and each cclumu bas 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 centsamonth, There is also a popular edition, got up rough- ly on poor paper and printed, or rather daubed, from a plate of engraved wax. This costs 16 cents per month and is issued an hour before the other.

It ds 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, bis remedies, the imperial decrees and the reports of the ministers, in the printing of which every error is punisbed with death.

It announces to all the provinces the date which has been fixed by the em- 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 an English translation in Shanghai.

After the Tsing-Pao the most impor- tant paper in Chiua is of modern date— the Chin-Pao, or Shanghai News, founded in 1872. It bas 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 aud demonstrate by history the rights of the Chinese over Anam.

Chinese newspapers are usually print- ed on yellow paper, which is change‘ to blue in case of mourning aud 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-Chiuese’’ foreign words, as, for instance, the word ‘‘tele- phone’’ is made to read ‘‘to-i! 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.

Prompt Answers. ,

Th- lecturer on health had finished his discourse and invited his auditors to asx any questions they chose con- cerniug points that might seem to need clearing up when a lean, skinny man rose up and asked:

‘‘Professor, what do you do when you can’t sleep at night?’

‘“‘l usually stay awake,’’ replied the lecturer, ‘‘although, of course, every- body should feel at liberty to do other- wise if he chooses. Are there any otber questions?’’—Chicago Tribune -

On the Twirling of Legs.

Hundreds of thousands of people de- yote their ' lives fro ym childhood to learn- ing irl their legs rapidly (dancers), or to booms h notes sand strings very rapid- ly (musicians), or to draw with paint and represent what they see (artists), or to turn every phrase inside out and find a rbyme to ever peo- ple, often very kind ar 1d clews or and ca- pable of all sorts of useful labor, grow savage over their specialized and stupe- fying occupations and become one sided and self complacent specialists, dull to all the serious phenomena of life, and skillful only at rapidly twisting thoir lega, their tongues or their fingers. ‘What Is Art?’ _

A woman who has carefully studied the effects of light at ber dinners says that un- shaded candles in high old fashioned can- delabra that branch out in many direc- tions are absolutely thé perfection of light for a table, and are, too, a most becoming light to the faces of the guests gathered around it.
