The stenographer is rapidly boing sue

clumsy to Mcguire great facility at this
sort ofworlC, and it seems especially suited
to women. The advantages which. II pos
sosses over tho older fashion is that the
work is finished when the operator has

writing girls 1t is different. AS a rule
thoy are busy copying supreme court
papers, which, by tho way, they lay
aside without the slightest regret,
and they are apparently tho only
people who look with contempt upon tho
supreme court, and begin at once to pre-
paro for work. Tho preparation is the
longest part of it. After few general
remarks about the weather, she removes
her rings ono after tho other, looks at
them carefully, places them in an orderly
row beside tho typewriter, pulls q hair
pin out of tho forward part of her bang,
examines 1t, and then thrusts it with un-
questioned belligerence into the back OF
her head. Thon she yawns prodigiOusly,

faucets for fow moments, touches
tho ends of her fingers to tho towel,
then comes back by way of tho
mirror. have become convinced by long
experience that tho average female type
writer never really cares to wash her hands.
IL is stragetic subtcrluge for tho purpose
of atiording her an opportunity to look in
the mirror. She returns, throws herself
carolessly into the chair, and briskly puts
a sheet of paper into the machine. Having
done this, she withdraws the paper, turns
IL around, and puts it in that way.
This is u system they never depart from
undor any circumstances. She is not
ready yet, however. At this point it be.
comes necessary to open small drawer
ut the right-hand side of the type
writer, fish out more or less snowy
purse, glance critically and somewhat
sadly within, throw the purse back again,
and bring forth an ink eraser, a rubber,
fruit knife and q half-eaten apple or
peach. Some one will probably interrupt
her for quiet chat, and after that, if you
arc still there, yon will be thoroughly
startled. Once under way, an expert typo
writer is fully as fast as the average steno-
grapher, and when you have finished
debating you may tako the manuscript
away with you. 1 have observed one
popularity about the female typewriter.
She never makes mistake. 1t is always
the machine. If she puts sixteen vowels
in the word through" she first hits tho
keyboard violently, then raises the roof
of the structure, pokes at the type with
her first finger, indulges in some airy
criticisms of tho manufacture, brings tho
whole thing together violently again, and
continues to make the most grievous snd
absurd errors with face of utter satis-
faction and unruiiled high spirits. She
eventually marries tho managing clerk Of
the law office.

Boston ON the Liberty Statue.
n..g... ma


They are at their wits end in New
York to know how to raise money for the
pedestal for Liberty Enlightening the
World" New York has little civic pride
Had such gift been offered to Boston
the money would have been raised within
two weeks, As a gift to the people of the
United States the French people made
mistake in designating New York as the
place where it should stand. New York
is simply the largest city and the business
center of the country, with no political
rank. A similar gift to France might
The statue should have been placed at
Washington, the capital of tho nation.
The federal government would then have
made suitable provision for its location,
and the people of the United States
would not have been placed in false light
by tho penuriousness Of New York.

ODDS AND ENDS.


AUTUMN coLoRs.
The autumn's gorgeous golden Gun
With warm, empurpled rim;
The sunset lavishly fills II up
With rosy wine to the brlm.
And while the wind so wearlly grieves
Through the grasses parched and dead,
II spills the wine on the trembling leaves,
And turns them yellow and red.
The field is russell and purple,
The wood is scarlet and gold; Lei
A river Of flaming color
Makes warm the dreary void
And when by the dancing sunbeams
The landscape is all begilt,
II seems that old Dame Nature
Is making crazy quilt. Fsn
When comes the autumn OF the year.
And south the redbreast goes,
Old Nature in her fingers sere az
Carriesa burning rose. GEi
A rustling polonaise of gold 7,T
She round herself doth fling,
And rouges like woman old
In honor Of the spring. -R,EM

San Francisco Post, July Sth.
Assistant Superintendent K. n. Pratt re-
turned last evening from Yuma, where he
has been engaged for some DAYS in the mat
ter of the washed-out bridge across the Col
orado river The details of the washout
have already been given. Mr.. Pratt reports
that when he left on Saturday evening the
water was still very high, and it was
scarcely anticipated that the work of re-
storation could be commenced before six
or eight weeks. Most satisfactory and
complete arrangements, however, had been
made for the transfer of both passengers
and freight \ side track had been built
on the fiat to the river, where a platform
had been erected, and the passengers
were brought over on the steamer
to the cars waiting there. The only
inconvenience to them was the fact
that the transfer in this direction was
made at night. As regards transportation
of freight, the steamers worked necessarily
day and night. with three shifts of men of
eight hours each. The main difficulty has
been to obtain the right class of men to do
the work required as owing to the great
heat the men were apt to become indolent
if any especial cxertion was asked of them
Things are now in good working order and
as soon as the delayed freight is passed
over say in eight or ten days. the daily
freight can be transferred with the usual
regularity. The accumulated freight does
not probably exceed from three to four
hundred cars, and from thirty to forty cars
can be transferred in the twenty-four
hours. OF course perishablc articles are
first looked after. The energy of the COM
panv in the face OF the many obstacles they
have encountered well deserves recognition
at the hands of their patrons.
