-Mashers"' Sad Fate.

The female typewriter is mostly alively amind good looking young womanof eighteen to twenty. There are nowover two thousand of them in Chicago,and Ihe nurmber is rapidly increasing.The reason for heryoithfulnessis foundmin the fact that the typewriting busi-ness is still in its infancy, while the factof her good looks is merely anotherilluslration of the laws of natural selec-lion. Old girls do not learn new tricksin the way of earning a livelihood, andthe young ones who have essayed thetypewriter with success have note t liadtue to grow old. The attrnactive anddeceptive cireulars of some typewritingand shorthand schools have I le manp ythick-fingered Biddies to take a "type-writiag course," but the invariable re-sdlt in such cases has been that the as-p'ring females soon returned to their

aces in the kitehen sadder and wiserVididies. Chicago is being edu.pate t[oa high standard of taste in this matter.Tie female typewriter to be a suceessin this city must be not onlyyoung and good looking, but relined,mtelligent and educated--with the tactto repair her employer's gram.matiealbreaks without injuring his dignity, anmcapable of throwing his few vague andheterogeneous thoughts, hadly ex-presed, into n clear, concise, and ex-pressite communication.She ets to work either at eight or

ine o clock-atnine in lawyer's of.fies and some of tie larger businesshoous and at eight in the general runf business offices. She enerally ar-

rives about fifteen minutes ato, with apleasant smile on her face, a pleasant"Good-moruing" on her tongue, and alibrary novel and a lunch-box on herfim. After hanging up her hat andwrap in the closet and asking anxioslyaftr the ofico-boy's mother's rheuma-tism, she takes the cover off lier ma-chine and spend s half an hour wipin itwith a cloth and opling its joints wit. aminiatre oil-can. ' hen she steals apeep ao the list of marriage licenses inThe morning paper, after which shestickls a lug of chewing-gum or eari-

els iin her mouth, hides her novel un-dr her little a rn, and settles down inherchair at ie machine as thoughread for business. But neither she

or hr machine is yet ready for work.She sticks asheet of paper between therollers and starts off briskly to write apriate note to her darling EleanorAice, from whom she lhad a letter thismofaing. She goes alon" at a 2:40gait faor about tem seeons, when she'suddenly stops and flings back the to'ol themachine with a r-icious snap.Then shimjuggles thc paper a minute,

, ad fingers the cranks, andTpullsa hair-pin from her hack hair, an abs it atthe ribbon, and sticks her gum plug be-tween the leaves of liher novel, and samsblck the machine into place, annd starts

in. It usually takes the girl andmelachine about an hour overy morn-

ing to come to an amicable arrane-bent by which work may proceed wthAmnotlhnea and dispalch.

"They're all bright giris, every moth-wa on of them-- mean mother'sdaughter,"' said a man in the business,Who had employed hundreds of the girlsand sold thousands of the machines;%every one of them, sir, bright as a new

dollar. Sloucntes have no place in this'bsm•s. I'll tell you how I averagotthem: First, they must be up to theariage grade on female school teachersain lligened and oducation; second,they must be up to the average of thekieswomei in the fashionable stores inthe lmater of good looks. You see aScwieol-eacher need n't be ood-looking.,but she muat oa smart in lior r4anlimarad spelig anad fiures; while a high-ela or higlylpi' salesgirl need t ben1 any education to speak of. but muste.pretty and grioue. Now, type-

witera must be both. A good edues-IOn u abolutl neessary, and good't anid anlubiity ne ar also necessary]i order to obtain or retain a oodposi-t0Ln. Why? Well, I hardly know I

alerely state the fact. I suppose it'sn an nature for people to like prettysea near them. A pretty girl type-

iter is a spot of everlastingly brigtintsine in a drearyoffice. The systemL its disad-antaes. The best of

gean ge him an expert hand. Weways have a list of girls waiting toke situations."Thiere are about five thousand type-ltng machines in use in the city. A

tfg'e number of these are operated byr owners or by male operators, but

bIt three thousand machlnes in u.efto city aro run by progatiogal

operators, and ot thee at isBt twothousand, it is estimatedl are females.About three-ourths of these femaleoperators are able to write sortlaud-shiorte-I, and tid 'pe-writing nowgoinr ghand in hand. It would seem as if in avery few years these young women willhave a monopoly of the short-handbuSno's. The nlunher of male learnersof the art of stenography is decreasingveryyear. In every business office ofimportance the type-writing operatortakes her instructions in &hod-hand,the merchant dictating the scbstanee ofwhat he wants to say to his correspond-ents, and the young woman writin theletters on the machine at her leIsureanl having them all ready to sign bhfor miiil hour.

But all thlse dry details of (lue type-writing busince re pretty wen knownto tie public. What the public is per-haps not so well posted on is the aet-quette of the typewriting machineoFuture editions of books on etiquettewill probably contain a chapter on type-written miissives in their relation tococal forms. Perhaps such a chapteris already published elsewhere. Are-porter would be about the last one tosee it, for he would be ashamed to befound lead with a book on etiquette inhis posession. There is a legend re-lated of a young woman in Hoosierdomnwho got mad when her lover sent her aletter written with a typewriter, andsharply replied to the effect that shiewsn't to be wooed by machlinery, andthat .l1 bets were ot. This story isprobably untrue, for ioosier girls arenot apt to turn up their noses at eligibleyoung men, except for some radicalault. The serious questions suggested

by the story are: First, Is it al owable,to use a tYpewriting machine in olite.social andl frientdly ecorrespondense?Secned, Is it allowable to use it forlove-letters? Third Would a proposalof marringe written this way hold goodin a breach of promise case In aa courtof law? Theas he questions that comehome to all of us. The first questionshould be ansnuered in the affirmative.The second question is a poser. If theyoung man lhas got it bad he may beglad to git any sort of a letter, and viceversa. The opinion of an aunthority insuch matters is that the machine can besafely used up to a cetaiu sta e of thecourtship and must then be riseardedfor the more" warmly-appearing hand-writing. For instance, Miss SnIytle,who operates a type-writer for Packer& Co., makes the acqnaintance of Mr.Jones, a retail salesman, at a littlefriendly social. They become interestedin each other. The stupid Jones doesnot know howto improve the aerjuaint-anice, much as he desires to do so, andfor all lie can do may probably neversee ler again. But Miss Smythe'swomanly wit bridges the chasm. Shewrites to Mr. Joneo-and here Ith type-writer is allowable-askitig some littlething that will insure a reply and openJones was to further acquaintance. Shewrites:

Dear Mr .rowa' I am sorry to trouble you,but I want so minich to know, and I m oui tosure you cn tell me, wio Is the anther ofte beanolifal little poem ynm recited tl.atvery pleaslant evening s -ra Brown's. 1tbeganf

"Why doth my heart es strangely move?Wiy am lead and vexedis it becaue I gave my ZeroBefore that it was aad l,

Tour sincere friend.

Then Jones will reply that thie poemis by Mr. Browning, of London, and isentitled ""Twit Sappho and Cha-rybdis," page 3229, canto 48. If Jonesis property caught he will callaround with a copy of the poem and in-vite Miss Smythe out to a quiet placein the park where they may read it to-gether. Up to this point, and evenurther, type-written letters are permis-

sible, but when Jones kisses MissSmythU'n r and at partin",and tells her what sa-nary he has, and the sort of woman hismother is, andlhow itis his ambition tohaIe & little home of his own with acongenia companion, it ia proper that

Miss Suhe's next note should be writ-ten altogether in her own hand-writing.Jones will like it If this disquisitionshould be of help to young personswhose path to matrimonial bliss isblocked by this question of etiquette thewriter wirl bo amply repaid.

In a basement oflice on La Sall streeta pretty typewriter sits atthe front win-dow in full view of the passers-by, andit is quite a common thing to see a rowof mashers, or dodes, struing along therailing gazing down at the seemu gly]unconsious opecrator. The ofher iaythe young lady got annoyed by the per-sistent attentions of two Enlish-lookingindividuals, and sent the oilire-boy outo tell a policeman to warn lthen off

The typewriting-machine was inventedby a Milwaukee editor in 1867. Thabenefits conferred to the world by edi-tors will probably never be fully known.The Milwaukee editor hadt two partners,but as soon as he met a man with

money, and willing to part with it, liefroze the partners out and took in thecapilal. The machine has been im-proving ever since and is now rapidly.goin into general use. It lookas a if

the oay were coming when the reporterwill carry his printing machine nroundwith him and print speech or an inter-view while it is being spoken. Thesalaries of womentypewriters rangefrom $25 to $75 a month with an aver-

e of about $45. When a bright girlh mastered the rudiments of short-hand and the typewriting machine sheis usually abtle to get situation atabeut s aweek in an ofice where thereis little to do and no hurry about it.After a year's racticeo she will be abhito take a sitnatIon where more expert

Tho need of greater passenger accon.modation, due to the development ofAmerican coloniz.tion, caused tie Span-ishe ship-builders to load the decks withtowering forecastle nd poop structures,each containing two or three tiers ofcabins, instead of meeting the new de.-mand by planning ships adapted to dif-ferent col;tions than had before ob-tained. Thus at each extremity of thevessel was a top-heavy fabri havingheight equal to nearly a fourthli of oTerlength, and rendering it dangerous tocarry even the lower canvas in L freshbreeze; while the sides "'tumbledhome,"as sailors term it. that is to say, inlintedinward toward each other as they rose,so that the1grfatest breadth was belowthe water lne, tle least on the upoerdei Round-bowed and squlre-aterned, steerm: badly and com-monly overloadred ith cargo, therate of progress on was. un-der the most favorable circumstances,not more tha twenty-five leagues a<liy.

GERMAN RAILROADS.

John WVannamakor in spakling ohis recent European trip, said: "In Ger-many the Government controls and op.erates all railroads but one.

Both pasongerand freight rates are hidgherin Germanythan in this country. There is a disbpo-sition on the continent to put all rail-road service on the same footing a s theposi~l service in Great Britain, I founda tendency toward the abandonmentof the second- cass grade of trayv-eling. The idea is to retain thefirst and third class coaches and add afourth-crasa coach, which is simply anempty bageage-car without eats, wherethe passenger has his choice of standingor using a portable stool, or like thelephant, using his own trunk. Every-where I found that great minterest wasfelt about America, and the people wereconstantly asking about the possibilityof success If they came here. This isespecially true among the farmers, whoare very much discouraged. Americanproducts are finding their way to everynook and corner of the continent ofFurope. I daw a load of Americanstraw hauled through the streets ofZurch, and I was told that the pricewas eight-five oant per hundredpoUnda which Is the same price I haveoften' paid here.

Mr. Balne's besetting weakuess isin seeing things, not as they are, butas lie would like then, to be. fie cannot realize that what hbe so confidentlypredicted in the campaign of 1884, hasnot come to pass. In this he is likethe man who unexpectedly met afriend in the street and greeted himwith the followine: 'How is this? Iread an account of your death in thepaper.' "Well," returned his friend,"you see I am still alive." "But,",peristed thi other, "the account witsverycireunstantlal and the paper iswiolly reliable."

OOGS' EARS.

Soie (coed measons Why They Shouldiev er -e Cropped.

Sir Edwin Landaoer, one otathe judgesit the dog show in London, England.endeat-ored to exclude all dogs that hadbeen mutilated by car-cropping or oth-erwise. The principal reason tor SirEdwin's protest Is that the cropping ofars ismosLcruel and hurtful to the

dog. Ti coruelty complained of is notin the operation -that, after all, is asmall matter. It consists in deprivingtheanimalofa defense which naturehas given it against the entrance ofarthand .sand into th ears. The en-

trance of these into the ears distressesthe dogs much, eausWng deafness, ab-scesses and cancer. Al dogs, more orless, require to be protected from sandand carth by overlapping ears; but es-pecally do terriers iterally "earthdogs"-the species heihe of all others,is most persecuted by cropp'ng. Theygo into a burrow, their ears get full ofand, and they suer ever a infterward.

Surely Sir Edwin Landseer is right insaying that judges of dogs ought not to6sactimn such gross treatment ofthe an:mnal, and that theSociety for the Prevention ofCruelty to AnimIals should look to thepractice. The only excuse that can beset up for this system is a delusita one.It Is said that figlhting dogs tare betterwith their ears cropped, and the exi-gencies of lighting dogs have set tIhfashion for ail others. It is true that ifan ear be gone it can not be torn, butthen it Is forgotten that even for fight.ng purposes the ear is often a proteo-

tion. All these figtingdlogs havo whatsre terned "points." One has his wayof seizing the leg. another fies upon..the throat, and vet another makes adash at the large gland behind tle ar,which, in the dog, is as sensitive as themost sens;tivn gland In thehuman body.Deprive the dog of his ear and the assaiant san get a good bite at it and layhis adversary low. Leave the do ble hiear anl the assailant's grsp 0o thesensitive gland is impedoby the foldsof the ear and rendered much morefeeble. Thus, even to the fighting dog,the long ear is a positive defense.-N .O PIsyune-

WAR ELEPHANTS.

Attached to the British Indian army.which is now in Burmah trying to wipeoat the murderons bands of idakoeitthat arc affrighting the country, is anelephant battery. Seven-pound guns,including their carriages, arc fastened -to frame-work and hoisted upon ihebacks of the Selephant. In this way thetroops are able to transport their artil-lery throughl long stretches of countrywhere there are no wagon roads, andwlhere they would not be able to taketheir cannon if they did not have beastiof burden strong enonahi to carry theartillery on their backs. When thetroop meet the enemy the guns areqiuiekl unloaded by means of a tripod,to which is attached a swinging armand takle.

The elephant takes a more humblePlace in war nowadays than formerly.

e used to be one of the combatants,but in these days of gunpowder andbomnhleIs he has been reduced to thetransportation department. Genturiesbefore the Christian era the runlrs olEgypE maintained stations as far southas 'hartoum for thesolepurpose of col-lecting wild elephansl to be trained forwar purposes.
