Type With a History.

Very few people know that the type
of which this paper is printed has been
the object of many ups and downs from
war times up to the present. Just a
few weeks before General Sherman's
army passed through the eastern por-
ton of Georgia, printing Office was
opened in Waynesboro. When the
devastating army finished doing the
town they left all the type of the new
office on the floor in heap. Only one
who has worked in printing office
knows how great task it is to get
eight or ten bushels of ''pied'' type
into shape for use, and, indeed, it was
so great an undertaking that no one
had the courage to tackle it. 1t has
been only a little more than two years
since this Office was established here,
and the work of cleaning up the mixed
types has gone steadily on until there
are only about two bushels of mixed
type left.-Gi6son (Gd.) Enterprise.

The often-quoted dictum that n man
first story is his best is false. II n man has
talent his first story is novel, in the sense
OF putting things in n new light, with n
language peculiar to himself. A man
can't write differently from what he thinks
any more than he can change his nose. l
know OF a novelist whose first story was
superb, his second not so good, his third
very poor; we took them all: but his fourth
was as good as his first, and since then
every novel he has written is better and
stronger han the last one.
think 1t would be wiser to believe that
nm author never ascends or descends
beyond II certain line. His compass varia-
lions are very slight. A mans brains are
like an iron furnace; that Is n well-regu-
lated and managed one. The crude ore
comes in in about the same quantity, and
the output is so much iron and so much

the proportions would be the same. Ger
tain men have, to follow out the idea, big
ger supplies of coal. Their fires are more
rarely extinguished, therefore the IRON

The recent examples of college ora
tory in Minneapolis and st. Paul call to
my mind the instructions of the late
Professor Moses Marston. of the State
university, to his class in regard to writ
ing orations. He said: you might, in
the first place, write an Introduction
something pretty, rather howery. Then
write a peroration. Make it rather elo-
quent. adorned with the figures of speech.
Then briefly summarize the ideas which
you have collected in regard to your
subject, put them in plain, straitforward
English. terse, brief and to the point.
That is for the body Of your Grafton.
Then cut out the introduction and the
peroration and recite the brief statement
of the facts of the case and you will do
yourselves credit. Pioneer Press List

Last eve heard q merry-piping quail
Call like flute upon the uplands cold
A door OF autumn turned on hinge OF gold,
What time the twilight walked the thicketS
pale;
In the deep woods the falling nuts like hail
Dropt to earth. and, like an outlaw bold,
The frolic squirrel sought his airy hold,
Bearing his booty In his fingers fr2il.
Tho leaves fell down on all the forest ways.
Shook BY the wind, and meath the neigh
boring hedge
The cricket rang his mass-bell in the grass,
Calling the dusk to vespers; low in praise
TWittered the robins on the woodlands edge
With 1ocund calls Whene'er q mate did pass.
All, many leaves that deep wood lay within,
Brown, purple, gold. upon the chilly earth!
And on the bOughs the gum-balls In scar
mirth
Like oastanets shook whenever the night
wind thin
Stirred the unsleeping leaves within the glen.
A sleek. gray rabbit wondering had como
Upon the paths; and lOl the Dusk had
birth
When tho clear treble Of the piping wren
Smote ali the woodland with fits liquid calls,
That seemed to bind the twilight into
SheaveG:
And down thro' all the hollows moist and
Feeding and ohattsr1us Ger the cones and
balls,
Gathering the robins on the cracking
leaves
Gods little children nutt1ng in the dusk.

How Arago Measured the Power OF
Steam.

The experiments which were entered
upon for the purpose of measuring the
force of the vapor of water were very
important and very dangerous impor-
tant, because the safe working of steam
engines was dependent upon correct
measurements of the force, and because
all the properties of heat had to be pass
ed in review; and dangerous, because
they Imposed the task of conforming
the unknown caprices of formidable
force. There were but two men to &C
cept it and conduct ito success: Arago.

A rude manometer was extemporized,
and 4 boiler, far less stancb than the
steam-boilers OF to-day, was set up, in
which water was heated till the pressure
was twenty-seven atmospheres. They
could not 60 further. At this extreme
point. it leaked at all the Joints. and
the steam escaped through the assures
with a Kissing that was of bad omen.
But the observers, though aware of the
danger. silent and resigned. finished
without accident the measurements
which they had begun" Telling NJ.
