SHORT HAND BY MACHINE.


NeiO 4 OTf sun.
A young man sat in an Office up town
with a small n~ine-keyed instrument on the
table before him. Eight small round keys
with a broad key in tie middle were ar
ranged in a line. They we're attached to
small metal shafts which converged be-
meath a roll of narrow paper at the back of
the machine. The instrument is called q
stenograph, and is almost noiseless. The
nine keys are really only five, for each
small key on the right is Joined to the cor
responding key on the left. Thus four of
the five characters which the keys print on
the roll OF paper can be struck with either
hand at will, and the middle key with
either thumb.
The five characters struck are simply
hve short dashes all running n way; that
is, crosswise of the strip of paper. Their
value depends upon their position.
When all five keys are struck to-
A gether the result is a line like "a"
in the margin. As soon as one or
I more keys are struck and released
the strip of paper joys Oh a space,
= SO that if the i've keys are struck in
B succession the result will be a
line like 'B" in tho margin.
Combinations of these dashes
struck with a single movement form the
letters of the alphabet. "God bless our
home" Is written in full as follows:

n he Passion for Collecting.

When the late Sir Henry Holland was a very
old man he regretted that in early life he had
not taken to collecting and he touched off its
advantages in few neat sentences The inter-
est. he said. lis one which augments with its
qualifications, is never exhausted by completion
and often survives when the more tumultuous
business or enjOyments of life have passed away"
In short, he placed collecting where our fathers
used to place whist. The young man who does
not collect will be miserable when he is old The
inexhaustibility OF the object adds immensely to
the advantages of collecting. When Heber had
all, or nearly all, the rare books he knew Of he
began to gather duplicates. The print cOllec-
pressions. He thinks he can get together a COM
plete set OF some master, perhaps, and succeeds
pretty well until in an evil-Or shall we say
happy:-hour he comes upon proof. Then all
must he proofs. First states are rare but all
must be first states. As his eye grows in knowl-
edge he perceives that no two impressions are
exactly alike and that while one is good for this
feature. another is good for that. Against the
particular collector may be set the universal;
but universal collecting hasa serious drawback
1t seldom approaches completion i'm any one
branch. The omniverOus collector is as a rule.
too easily pleased 1t is impossible that he
should be an equally good judge of all the
things he buys-ivories, bronZes embroideries.

Wolf Bats.

One use of the whalebone to which the Es-
quimauX put IT. and one case of which came
under my personal observation, must not al
low to pass unnoticed. Whenever wolves have
been unusually predatory, have destroyed a
favorite dog or so, or dug up cache of reindeer
meat just when it was needed or in any way
have aroused the ire of the Innuit hunter, he
takes strip of whalebone about the size of
those used in corsets, wraps it up into COM
pact hclical mass like watch spring,
having previously sharpened both ends,
then ties it together with rein
deer sinew, and plasters it with compound of
blood and grease, which is allowed to freeze
ana forms binding cement sufficiently strong
to hold the sinew string at every second OF third
turn. This. with a lot of similar looking bats
of meat and blubber. is scattered over the
snow or ground. and the hungry wolf devours
1t along with the others. and when it is thawed
out by the warmth OF his stomach it elongates
and has the well-known effect of whalebons on
the system. but having the military advantage
of interior lines its effects are more rapid, kill
ing the poor wolf with the most horrible
asonies, in a couple of days.-L3,a. Sct,catla.

When / am dead.

When am dead,

AROUND me gather, and, mid lamentatiOn loud,

BemOan my loss, and, leaving me, SO soon forget.
But would have the few the kindly heart,

And oft by thoughtful deed their love express
These would have, no more. no less

When am dead,
would not have the high and stored stone
Placed DER my grave, and then be left alone;
But would have some living thing once did
love,
Ere did leave the joyous world above,
Placed Ger me, and in each succeeding year
I'd have my friends renew them, and oft linger
near,
With loving thoughts upon the dear one laid
below,
And talk OF times departed long ago,
When am dead
When I am dead
FOrgive-O this pray far more than all
The anguish have caused, the deed beyond re-
call.
Think kindly on me as lie, so cold so still,
So poor a subject tor thine angerpd Ill.

OF hearts bound up found so sad and broken:
Think gently. when this last long rest is mine,
And gaze upon my form with looks benign

Mans Comparative Weakness.


1t has been discovered that the flea can leap
two hundred times its length. Our admira-
ton at this is changed to establishment when
it is demonstrated by calculation that if nature
had endowed the horse with degree of
strength similarly prOportioned to his weight
he would have been able to clear the Rocky
mountains at q bound, and that with like
effort whale would be able to leap to a height
OF two hundred leagues. What else can be
more unassailable than these conclusions,
founded on weight, measure and calculation?
1t Is true that If instead of comparing the
weights OF the horse and the flea, we had COM
pared their heights, we should have found that
the horses leap would not measure more than
weight? Because it is its whole body with its
three dimensions and its density that the flea
hurls to 200 times it's height and it is the same
feat Of strength that we demand in vain of the
horse. Calculations have also been made to
show that, If a man could move with a speed
prOpOrtiOned to that of certain insects he
would be able to travel more than ten leagues
in minute, or sixty times as fast as railroad
train.
The Amazon ants, going to battle, travel from
two to two and half meters q minutes. The
AmaZ0ns of antiquity to be even with them, If
we judge by the relative heights, should have
travelled eight leagues an hour. We have, how
ever, in this case. to compare the forces with
which given masses move themselves, and
should take account Of weights or volumes. If
we proceed by this rule We shall obtain fOrmid-
able numbers, that stagger the bOldest imagi-
nations. The warlike inhabitants Of the banks
Of the Thermedon would have to get over
SO, colleagues an hour. Yet, who can deny the
truth of the observations, the rigor of the meas
urements. or the justice Of the reasOning?-

HONG Thoughts From Abroad.

Oh, to be in England,
Now that April'S there,
And whoever wakes in England,
Sees some morning unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brush wood sheaf
Round the elm tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings ON the orchard bough
In England-nOw!
And after April, when May follows
And the white throat builds, and all the swal-
lows
Hark. where my blOSSomed pear tree in the hedge
Blossoms and dew drops-at the bent sprays
edge
That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice
over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture.
And though the fields look rough with hoary dew
And will be gay when noontide wakes anew
The buttercups, the little childrens DOVER
Far brighter than this gaudy melon flower.

Some Queer Fancies.

From the Bradford Star.
Yes, read that article on stage people and
their superstitiOns," said an Erie conductor.
"a and l must confess that We railroad men as a
class are equally superstitious. / am not speak
ing about that superstition that cings to one
after an accident, but of that possessed by reg
ular railroad men. l know q conductor who
wears long face the whole trip if the first
ticket he should take up would be that of a COL
Ored man. He has never had serious acci-
dent, but is always afraid of one when such
an occurrence happens. 1 have known
him to carry it to such an extent that
If cOlOred man should happen to be his
first passenger he would sit down and not gather
up the tickets until the next station was reached
That's mild instance, however. A horseshoe
is a railroad mans universal insignia Of safety
You will scarcely find freight train on any of
the roads without horseshoe i'm the cabOOse
Brakemen sometimes carry whole one i'm their
pockets. Engineers are scarcely ever without
one in their cab. II anything happens to delay
train on the first four or five miles OF its trip an
engineer is always supelstitious of bad luck all
the way through. l have known one of them
to enter way telegraph Oflica for orders and
anticipate an answer to lay over just because 1t
was his off night. Some engineers get to be-
lieving that certain portions Of the road are
against them. and no matter how nicely their
train glides over it they are apprehensive Of
danger or of Icing late.
Conductors are tainted with the disease. but
not so seriously. If the first pasteboard handed
a certain one l know when he starts on a trip
should be pass. he is certain that he will have
bad luck during the whole run. Brakemen do
not show the symptoms SO plainly. because they
have less to do with the management Of the
train; but even they do not escape it. Should

From John Buirnurh's Anil Gem 1nrr

From John Burroughs April Century
One does not seem really to have got ont of
doors till he goes to sea. On the land he is shut
in by the hills, or the forests or more or less
housed by the sharp lines of his horizon. But
at sea he finds the roof taken off the walls taken
down; he is no longer in the hollow of the earths
hand, but upon its naked back. with nothing
between him and the immensities. He is in the
great cosmc out Of doors, as much so as ifvov-
aging to the moon or to Mars. An astrOnO-
mic solitude and vacuity surrounds him: his
only guides and landmarks are steller: the
earth las disappeared: the horizon has gone: he
has only the sky and its Orbs lett: this cold
vitreous, blue-black liquid through which the
snip pioWs is not water. but some denser form
OF the cOSmic ether. He can now see the curve
of the sphere which the hills hid from him: he
can study astronomy under improved condi-
tiOns. If he was being borne through the in
terplanetary spaces on an immense shield. his
Impressions would not perhaps be much differ
ent. He would hnd the same vacuity, the same
blank or negative space, the same empty, indef-
mite. oppressive out of DOORS
For 1t must be admitted that a voyage at sea
is more impressive to the Imagination than to
the actual sense. The world is left behind: all
standards OF size. of magnitude of distance are
vanished: there is no size, no form. no perspec-
tive; the universe has dwindled to little circle
OF crumpled water, that Journeys with YOU day
after day, and to which you seem bound by
some enchantment The sky becomes a shallow.
close fitting dome, or else a pail of cloud that
seems ready to descend upon You. You
cannot see or realize the vast and vacant
surroundings; there is nothing to define or
to set it off. Three thousand miles of ocean
space are less impressive than three miles bound
by rugged mountain walls. Indeed. the grandeur
of form, of magnitude. of distance, of proper
ton. etc. are only upon shore: A voyage across
the Atlantic Is only ten day sail through va
cancy. There is no sensible progress; you pass
no fixed points. Is it the steamer that is mOy-
ing, or is it the sea? or is it all dance or ilu-
sion of the troubled brain? Yesterday. TODAY.
and tomorrow. you are in the same parenthe-
sis of nowhere. The 300 or more miles the
ship daily makes is ideal not real. Every
night the stars dance and reel there In the
same place amid the rigging; every morning
the sun comes up from behind the same wave
and staggers slowly across the sinister sky Tie
eye becomes hunger for form, for permanent
lines for horizon wall to lift up and keep off
the sky and give it sense of room. One I'M
derstands how sailors become an imaginative
and superstltious race; it is the reaction from
this narrow horizon in which they are put-this
ring of fate surrounds and Expresses them
They escape by invoking the aid of the super
natural. In the sea itself there is far less to
stimulate the Imagination than in the varied
forms and cOlOrs of the land. How cold, how
merciless. how elemental it looks!
