Considerable interest exists at pres
ent in respect to the automatic type
setting machines which are now being
tried in some Western offices for the
first time. These machines have
been used for some years in book
work in New York. They have been
tried repeatedly by newspapers, but
have never been found perfectly a.
dapted to their work.-Newspaper u

So far they have not been a success.
We spent some months in John F.
Trow's book office in New York where
there were five or six of these ma.
chimes. After giving them several
years trial Mr.. Trow abandoned their
use. We doubt whether any machine
will ever he invented that will sue
ccssfully compete with the fingers and
brains of the compositor: But we
doubt not some lew method of print
ing will he invented which will super
cede the present one. f.

We remarked at the time that Presi-
dent Hayes last message was an end
less document. But who would have
thought that it took 10,000,000 hours,
or,41e, oo8 days, or over 2.14l years to
read itp Yet such is the fact. Some
Fellow estimates that ten million people
read it and that it took each person one
hour to do so. It is sad when one re-
members that all this precious time
might have been spent preparing for
death, or words to that effect.

"suceess With Small Fruits"

II just rolled out here from the gro-
cery," said the little green apple as it
paused on the sidewalk for a moments
chat with the banana peel; - am
waiting here for boy. Not a small,
weak, delicate boy" added the little
green apple, proudly, but great big
boy, a great bulky, strong, leather
lunged, noisy fifteen-year-older, and
little as i am you will see me double up
that boy tonight, and make him wall
and howl and yell. Oh, I'm small, but
I'm good for ten-acre field of boys and
don't you forget it. All the boys in

on, with just shade of pitying con-
tempt in its voice, couldn't tool

drawled the banana peel, lazily; "well,
/ suppose they are just about strong
enough to afford you little amusement
For my own part, | like to take some
kind OF a man | usually do business
with. He is large and strong, it is true,
but"
And Just then a South Hill merchant
who weighs about 23l pounds when he
feels right good came along. and the
banana peel just caught him by the foot,
lifted him about as high as the awning
post turned him over. banged him down
on n potato basket, flattening it out un-
til ii looked like n splint door mat. and
the shock Jared everything loose in the
show-window. Aud then while the
fallen merchant picked up his property
from various quarters of the globe his
silk hat from the gutter, his spectacles
from the cellar. his handkerchief from
the tree-box, his cane from the show
window. and one of his shoes from the
caves. trough, and boy ran for the
doctor, the little green apple blushed
red and shrunk little back out of sight,
covered with awe and modification.
"Ah," IL thought. II wonder If
can ever do that9 Alas, how vain |
was, and yet how poor and weak and
useless am in this world"
But the banana peel comforUed 1t and
bade It look up and take heart, and do
well what it had to do, and labor for the
good of the cause in its own useful
sphere. True" said the banana peel.

pound man and break . cellar door

cholera morbus, and II you do your

And then the little green apple smiled
and looked up with grateful blushes on
its face and thanked the banana peel for
its encouraging counsel. And that very
night. an old father. who writes thirteen
hours n day, and a patient mother VINO

and nurse and doctor sat no until

Of figure three, while all the neighbors
on that block sat up and listened ana

and wished that boy would either die
or get well.

That DeceIving Hammock.

"Pve been foolr'i growled Harper
yesterday, as he united a parcel in his
front yard and shook out a new ham,
mock. "Here I've been looping around
all through this internal hot spell when
/ might Just as well have been swinging
in hammock and had my blistered
back cooled off by the breezes."
Any one can put up hammock. All
you've got to do is to unite about 500
knots, ,unravel about 500 snarls. and work
over the thing until you can tell whether
the open side was meant to go up or
down. This puzzled Harper for full
twenty minutes, but he finally got it
right and fastened the ends to two con-
venient srees.
Then he took off his hat and coat and
rolled in with great sigh OF relief. No,
he didn't quite roll in. He was all
ready to when the hammock walked
away from him, and he rolled over on
the grass and came to stop with a
croquet ball under the small of his
back.
did you mean TO do thatP" called a
Doy who was. looking over the fence
and slowly chewing away on green
"Did IP Of course I did! Git down
of n that fence or I'll call police
manw
The boy slid down and Harper
brought up n lawn chair for the next
move. It's the easiest thing in the world
TO drop off a chair into n hammock.
Lots of men would be willing to do it
on n salary of ten dollars per v eek. The
trouble with Harper was that he didn't
drop all his body 1T once. The upper
half got into the hammock all right, but
the lower half kicked and thrashed
around on the grass until the small boy,
who didn't mean to leave the neighbor-
hood until the show was out, felt called
upon to exclaim:
You can't turn a handspring with
you head all wound up in that ere net,
and Pll bet money on itp'
Harper suddenly rested from his la
bors to rise up and shake his fist at the
young william. but that didn't help the
case n bit. He hadn't got into that
hammock yet. He carefully looked the
case over, and decided that be had the
plans too high. He therefore lowered
the net 10 within two feet OF the ground
and he had IL dead sure. He fell into 1t
as plump ss a bag OF shot going down n
well. He felt around TO see If he was
all in, and then gave himself q swing.
No person can be happy In hammock
unless the hammock has n pendulum
motion. The hammock OF Harper's was
ust getting the regular saltwater swing
when his knots united and he came
down on the broad of his back with
such jar that the small boy felt called
upon 20 observe:
That amt no way TO level n lawn
you want TO use irregular rollerw
After the victim had recovered con-
seriousness he crawlcd slowly out, gently
rubbed his back on an apple tree, and
slowly disappeared around the corner
of the house in search of some weapon
which would annihilate the hammock
at one sweep. and though the boy called
70 him aaain and again, asking II min-
streI performance wns TO follow the reg
ular show. Mr. Harper never turned his
head nor made : sIgn. Detroit Free

Increase In Value OF Farm Lands.

The publication of the report of the
United States commissioner OF agricul-
ture shows that, in addition to the
bounteous crops which the farmers will
gain this year, they have also been
MADE richer by the increase of about
eight per cent, taking the average for
the whole country, in the price Of farm
lands, and compared with the prices
one year earlier. The timbered lands
show a tendency TO appreciate in value
more rapidly than the cleared land.
