pxpcrt Typewrltcrs Hard to Find.

Some weeks ago advertised IN the
papers for male typewriter over Il
wears OF age, ablo TO take dlctatioh
Mt tho rate of Mt least sixty words a
minute. / received 200 answers and
all but one Of them wcrofrom women
The exception camo from n gentle
man who had recently invented n
tyne distributing machine and who
was buoyed and imbued with the
idoa apparently that it wonid moot
all my requirements, j had had OK
perionce with feminine typowritors
and ne was particularly anxious 10
bayo man whose services 1 could
command at all hours, / disregarded
the 200 answers, and advertised n
pain for n man. / received 200 du
plicates OF the first batch OF answers
which would indicate that there is n
corps of at least 200 typewritors who
regularly answer every advertisement
for help. have had nm experience
which | shall never forget. Out OF
tho twenty applicants l selected, ev-
ey ono claimed that she could write
seventy words minute from dicta'
ton, and not solitary one was
equal to thirty words in that time.
Finally went to an agency where
n great many typowritors are en-
ployod, and the principal told me
that there were really less than half
n dozen girls in New York who were
experts at taking dictation direct on
tho typewriter.-N. Y. Cor. Brook.

A Literary Curiosity.

Tho Glasso OF Time, in the First and sec
ond Age. Divinoly Handled by Thomas
Peyton, of Licolnes lime, Gent. Seen ana
allowed London Printed by Bernard
Alsop for Lawrence Chapman, aud arc to be
sold at his shop over against Staple limo,
lG2O Now reprinted in neat volume,
long Primer type, bound in fine cloth, gilt
top, beveled boards. Price 30 cents.
The quaint poem of the title pago OF
which the above is q transcript appeared
nearly century earlier than Paradise lost,
and it is intrinsically probable that 1t would
have fallen under the eye of Milton; in any
case there are striking points of resemblance
between the two poems. and many have
supposed Millions immortal work to have
be enspired by the former. Only two copies
of the work are known to be in existence
previous to tho issue of tho present edition,
one being in the British Museum, the other
in the Bodloian Library, Oxford. Tho copy
in the British Museum was purchased ut II
noted fale of old books in 1919, By Baron
Bolland who notes upon blank leaf that
it cost him 2lk. It's and Cd. ,Cabout $llO.0Ol
Some years ago gentleman of Virginia, MIR
J. l. Pcyton, sprung from the old English
family of that name, made IN accurate tran
script of the copy in tho British Museum,
preserving even the quaint spelling, runnt-
uation, captalizing of tho original. The
present option is printed without alteration.
Apart from its presumed connection with
its presumed connection with Paradise Lost,
tho poem has very considerable morris of it's
own, and is every way literary curiosity.

Tho "rigidly righteous y, as Burns
termed them, are not wrong in their
immovable devotion to the things
that are pure, true, lovely, and of
good report But they are apt to err
in their attitude towards the weak,
ignorant and sinful. They often an
initiate these classes with their con-
tompt. They not only expect no
good of them, but they believe no
good of them. In this way they pile
up impedimeuts between the vicious
and virtue, and induce in the sinner n
disposition hostile to repentance.
