There was some talk in a group uptown

"There Is u newspaper field for women

was an Office there where a weekly paper
was print ,d which was conducted in all its
departments by women. The proprietols

Th, elder sister was the editor, but the
younger one was good local writer They

they worked the press themselvei. They
were none too rich and they saved this ex.
pense if possible.
"The peculiar feature Of the Office was its
extreme neatness. There were no piles Of
dirt swept up into corners. There was no
"pi' under the stands that bore the cases
There was pot or two of flowers in each
window and a canary biz d sang in cage
above the type-rack. The old tramps rang
ing through the country then used to go in
and take look aJ the Office. 1t was
different from anything else they saw any
where. They used to shake their heads and
60 off muttering. They never asked for
work. They knew that they couldn't spit
tobacco juice on the floor Of such an office.
There was no hell box in which to dump
their spi' and it didn't seem homelike to
them. So they gave it wide berth"
What became of the proprietors"
"They got married. Their weddings were
within the same month. The Office was
sold to man. The flowers wilted. The
canary died. It i, worth while to note

some thlrty-eight shots from sltngs have been
put through, the windows of the building,

some instances, been otherwise dcfaced. The

Establishing Schools for "Volapuk."

Establishing Schools for "Volapuk."
A school for Volapuk has been opened in
Paris, and its conferences have been attended
by many city celebrities of all classes Vola
puk, as is known is the new commercial Ian
guage invented by NJ. Schleyer of Constance
in 1851. 1t comprises 1900 words, and is
made up of roots taken from thu Latin,
English, French and German languages,
and is int nded by its advocates to seper-
sede oil other languages as commercial
medium of information. The words are
mostly monosyilables, and all uselcs; conso-
nants are suppressed
There are Volapuk schools at Rouen,
Bordeaux, Rochefort, and Tunis. Seventy
associations are engaged in thu propaganda
in both hemisphere, and Volapuk dictionaries
have been published in English, French,
German, Portuguese and Russian, and one
is being PREF ared in Chinese. But the
Orientals, who write by write by signs
instead of Roman characters, will be at
disadvantage in acquiring the new Ian
guage. Volapuk is greatly studied in Hol-
land, and is fast developing into craze
there. A Folapuk congress will be held
next year at Nuremberg, and an interna-
tional assembly Of Volapukists are to as
semble in Paris in 1SS9.-FoTeign Letter.
