Let us examine it in its three departments already named, its news, editorials, and miscellaneous reading-matter. In particularity and comprehensiveness of news-collecting, it may be admitted that the American newspapers for a time led the world. I mean in the picking-up of local intelligence, and the use of the telegraph to make it general.
One-fourth of the first page is taken up with the heading of the journal; this gives it a rather top-heavy appearance; the rest of the first page is reading-matter; all of the second page is reading-matter; the other six pages are devoted to advertisements. The reading-matter is compressed into two hundred and five small-pica lines, and is lighted up with eight pica headlines.
Consider what a fifth part of the reading-matter of an American daily paper issued in a city of one hundred and seventy thousand inhabitants amounts to! Think what a mass it is. Would any one suppose I could so snugly tuck away such a mass in a chapter of this book that it would be difficult to find it again if the reader lost his place? Surely not.
The boy mechanically folded the programme, turned it long side up and wondered whether a programme of this smaller size, easier to handle, with an attractive cover and some reading-matter, would not be profitable.
There was no tremor in her voice and she felt remarkably self-possessed. "That you will discover," said he. "I am not asking out of idle curiosity, but I want to know whether I ought to take a bag." "Perhaps it would be better," he said. She carried the little attaché case back to the sitting-room. "You have no objection to my taking a little light reading-matter?" she asked contemptuously.
I write for that magazine all the time, and so do many abler men, and if I can get these portraits into universal favor, it is all I ask; the reading-matter will take care of itself. There is nothing like it in the Vatican. Pius IX. It has none of that vagueness, that dreamy spirituality about it, which many of the first critics of Arkansas have objected to in the Murillo school of Art. Ruskin.
I'll do all I can to make her comfortable; I'll provide her with society more agreeable to her than mine; I'll see that she has interesting reading-matter, if she wants it; I'll do any thing and every thing I can, except that; but you needn't ask that of me." "O Zoe! I had thought you would do a harder thing than that at my request," he said reproachfully.
We furnish, now and again, as good editorial writing for its purpose; but it commonly lacks the dignity, the thoroughness, the wide sweep and knowledge, that characterizes the best English discussion of political and social topics. The third department of the newspaper is that of miscellaneous reading-matter.
A third function is to furnish reading-matter to the general public. Nothing is so difficult for the manager as to know what news is: the instinct for it is a sort of sixth sense.
My other reading-matter at that time consisted mainly of dime novels, borrowed from the hired men, and newspapers in which the servants gloated over the adventures of poor but virtuous shop-girls.
