Printing office Etiquette—A lady asks us whether etiquette requires one to knock at the door of an editor's sanctum before entering. We hasten to reply if you are coming to pay your subscription, bringing in a nice, juicy item of news, don't stop to knock, but just walk right in as if you owned the place. If on the other hand you are out on a collecting tour, you should make the fact known through the window,and thenknock atthe door until the editor opens it. You may sink down from exhaustion before he does so, but you will be adhering to the printing office etiquette that is bound to please the average editor. CAKLING BROS.
