Women as Private Secretaries aud
Type Writer'S.

Women as Private Secretaries aud
Type Writer'S.
1t has been found by business men
who have availed themselves of wom-
ans work in type writing that women
possess the inestimable advantage of not
being the rivals of their employers. A
man acting the part of private secretary
r confidential clerk may leave his en-
ployer at any moment and set up for
himself. With young women the case is
different. For reasons which everybody
recognizes, but which, perhaps, will not
hold good forever, they are not regard
ed by business me as possible riavls.
In the next place, "My private secre-
tary," said a well known solicitor of pat
ents the other day, nodding in the d.
rection of a young woman who sat in
front of a type writer, "has been in the
office two years and has never lost a
day, nor an hour" The
average Sal .ry of such a secretary is $500
a year. Sometimes athousand dollars is
earned. The use of the type writer can
be learned in a week, and after a prac-
tice of three or four weeks a clever girl
can write faster than a penman. Per-
sons who can play on the pianoforte be-

any case it is comparatively easy to be-
come a first class operator. An hour or
two a day is as much as any young wo-
man ought to practice when beginning.
To become a first class photographer or
short hand writer is much more difficult.
The young woman who begins at the age
oftwelve or ten years is likely to sue
coed the soonest. The best private sec
retary is one who can write short hand
and can operate a type writer. She is
able to take down nswer to letters,
and then to make copies
on the type writer from her
Photographic notes. The business
of Il firm Of solicitors for patents has SO
increased since the advent of the type
writer (their days seem to have become
longer, because 10 much more work ca
be done in Il day. that they are trainin

women to become operators upon it,
who meanwhile make themselves gen
orally useful, and receive for their serv-
ices 81 or $40 a month. After a year go
spent these pupils will earn $40 a month.
Young men, if applying at this office
for similar positions, would be told
frankly that experience had led the
firm to prefer the services of the ZEN
tier sex. There the rooms are bright

the deaths which occur in America are
caused by Bright's d~isease}pfthe kidneys.
This may sound like a rash statement, but
am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's
disease has no distinct We symptoms Of its
own, (indeed, it often develops without
any pain whatever inthe kidneys or their

every other known complaint. Hundreds

A New Binding Material.

Tripolith is the name given by it's
inventor to a new binding material
for builders, a substitute for lime,
cement and plaster under certain
circumstances, and which is COM
posed OF solphate of lime, coke and
oxide OF iron in some form or other.
While tripolith mixed with sand
only. sets in 10 to Is minutes, an
addition of slaka0 Line may Increase
the time required for setting to so
minutes. The specific gravity of
tripolith is lower than that of plas-
ter; the former is 1,678, the latter
1896. Turning now to the test, we
give the mean results in each case of
five complete experiments.
The extraordinary increase of tens
sile strength after long exposure to
the atmospheric air is remarkable
it amounts to 100 per cent. from
seven to ninety days in mortar B,
and to 1S9 per cent in Mortar G tor
the same time. Compared with the
tensile strength of lime and cement,
the results obtained with tripolith
are highly satisfactory. The com
preston tests point out tor tripolith
position between lime mortar and
cement mortar, but since after being
fairly set it requires about the same
crushing strength as ordinary bricks,
no more would be needed for general
use. In setting, tripolith mortar
loses in weight, and when placed in
water does not absorb the latter so
rapidly as ordinary mortar does. Its
adhesion to brick, stone and other
materials is very considerable and
the tripolith mortar does not either
reduce or increase noticeably in
volume when setting. For facing
and plastering, this material is excel
lently suited 1t is easily handled
and smoothed while soft, adheres
well to brick or stone surfaces, and
attains far greater hardness than
plaster of Paris, and oil or other
colors adhere to it well.

Effects of Frost on Scale Insects.

Editor Of the Florida Agricultur'ist:
The article in your issue of the
18th inst, copied from the Gainesville
Bee, on the effects of Frost on
Scale Insects" was written before the
cold, stormy weather of January 9th,
10th 18th and 18th. At this place,
the weather on the four days men
toned, was as follows: On the 9th In
the morning it was raining heavily,
with a brisk, changeable wind, rain
continued all day, the wind alter sun
set blew a gale from the north west !;
the rain ceased about midnight the
wind continued throughout the 10th
and lasted until noon of the 11th.
It was pleasantly warm untif the
wind changed to the northwest, the
temperature then went down rapidly
to 30o Far. There was ice in expos
ed vessels on the morning of the
10th. It was very cold the fol-
10 wing night, but no ice seen on
the morning of the 1lth ; cold
all that day and the following
night; on. the morning Of the 18th
frost was visible; it was cold
throughout the day.
An examination of several varieties
of scale insects, on trees open to the
full force of the storm and partly de-
toliated by previous frosts, showed
that the larvae were badly hart, but
no damage to eggs was apparent.
In numerous instances in more re
cent examination of scales from trees
exposed as stated, the mother is dead
and dried up, and the eggs she had
laid are Matching out.
1t is an open question whether the
frost following so suddenly upon the
rain found the scales in better con-
dition Tor It's action on the inclosed
insects, or whether the whole effect
is due to the rain and wind combined.
During the past summer whilst
making Investigations and expert
ments. as the agent of the Entomo>
logical Division of the U. S. Dept.
OF Agriculture, / noticed that storms
of wind and rain did, on trees direct
ly exposed to their effects, actually
aoGsh and 6loao off the long scale
from branches where they had been
very thickly incrusted. Not only in
oueN instance, but in numerous in
stances was this noticed.
The temperature here on the 10th
of this month was not as low by five
degrees as it was on the 9th of last
month, but one was accompanied by
high wind and preceded by rain, the
other was calm.
On trees protected from the direct
action of the wind, the insects are
very little hurt.
Inotice that the scale insects on
the LeConte pear trees were more
hurt by the cold than those on the
orange trees. A very large young
brood of scale insects has issued from
the eggs. within the past two weeks.
Yours, truly,
Jos. VoYLE.
