serve, it is an English importation, and
peculiarly feminine. In the tight little
island, the girls take to stub pens, blank
note paper, and flowing angularity of
writing, as readily as the ''Daisy Millers"
to gum and slang. The letters seem to
blow into curves which, before they can
be analysed, are finished at start and
close with funny little hinge joint, the
unraveling and reknotting of which is
the secret of the writing. Knowing it to
be the universal style in English and Ca

Our First Merino sheen.

The first merino sheep that ever left
the shores of Spain for the United States,
or for any other foreign port, came from
there to Boston in 1896 For hundreds
of years the Spanish government had pro-
hibited the expectation of merinos under
heavy penalties, as it knew the great
value of that product of it's mountains,
and did not intend to share its benefits
and profits with any other country and
thus the sheep had remained confined to
those mountains, the envy of the world.
The law was still in force in 1876, but the
Hon. William Porter, of Massachusetts,
was in Spain in that year, and by some
means managed to obtain three merinos,
which he brought safely home. Strange
and unaccOuntable as it may seem, these
three valuable sheep, the first to leave
their native hills, and to obtain which
many governments would have paid al
most any price, fell into the possession of
a man who appreciated the ownership so
lightly that he slaughtered them, and sold
their mutton at the regular market price
That man was Andrew Craigie, of Cam
bridge. He knew what he had done in
after years, when, to obtain a merino ram
for breeding purposes, he paid the sum of
81 900 cash.
In 1902 Col. David Humphreys was
United States minister to Spain. He was
extremely popular at the Spanish court
In that year he relinquished his office and
returned home. The Spanish government
rendered him valuable gift in gold. Col
Humphreys declined it, but said there was
something he would highly prize. He
was asked to name it. He replied: zone
hundred merino sheep" The request
was unexpected. The law stood in the
way of it's being granted. The govern
ment got over the difficulty in some way,
and 100 sheep were among the cargo of
the vessel that landed the ex-minister in
Boston. Seventy of them survived the
passage, and from that original stock,
which were placed on the Humphreys
farm at Derby, Conn, the present royal
breed of Vermont merinos sprang.-New

Newspapers by Photography.

Books are reproduced in this country
directly from Photographic plates, and so
cheaply as to sell for one half the price of
reprints by the usual type methods-the
Encyclopedia Britannica, Of which seven
teen volumes have been issued, being the
most important work thus far photo
graphically reproduced. BY chance it was
discovered that the gelatine plate, from
which the electrotype is made in this pro-
cess, could be printed from directly, Civ
ing larger number Of good copies than
the hardest electrotype. The New York
Evening Post now says the most recent
development in this direction, and one
which has scarcely been foreseen until
very recently, Is the proposed use Of the
gelatine process of printing for newspaper
work.
A western inventor has been engaged
for some time in an experiment, which
aims at nothing less than the entire elm
ination of the compositor for book work
and even newspaper work. The process
is virtually that already followed by the
firms which reproduce English works by
photography, but instead of photographing
printed page, it is now proposed to
photograph from type written pages, and
reducing the plate at the same time to the
size of ordinary print to place the result
ing gelatine plate upon printing press
and use it instead of the electrotype made
from the metal types. The late Col.
Richard Howe, the veteran press inventor,
in reviewing the development of the print
ing press during his lifetime, said: 81
have some idea that the next jump will
be in the direction of photographing the
newspaper upon the sheet Of paper as it
flies through the press. don't know
how such thing can be done, but with
the instantaneous process of lightning
photographs some genius will use it for
the newspapers" He did not live to see
any experiment made in the direction Of
actural photography of newspapers, but
there seems to have been something al
most prophetic in his suggestion of pho

Great Speed.

A railroad official, speaking about
fast time on railroads, has this to say
in regard to Jay Gould's tour through
the South a few weeks ago:
When the Jay Gould special left
Memphis, Superintendent Pegram of
the East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor-
gia Railway gave instructions to run
through to Chattanooga on fifty-five
mile per hour schedule, which was
accomplished without an apparent
effort. On arriving at Chattanooga
the management was complimented
by the party, and the question was
asked whether other portions of the
system was in a condition to admit
an equal rate of speed. The question
resulted in Mr.. Gould enjoying the
distinction of riding on the fastest
train that ever ran on the American
continent. On leaving Chattanooga
orders were given to make the run
to Knoxville-ll2 miles-on a sixty
mile per hour schedule or better
if possible. 1t appeared to be under
stood, though not expressed, that the
run to Knoxville should beat all pre-
vious records, and when the wires
flashed back the news that the IL
miles had been made in l07 minutes,
you can imagine the enthusiasm that
greeted the announcement.

A teacher in one of our public

truancy and has recently enforced the
rule that her scholars, on their return
to school after an absence, must
bring her note stating in full the
cause of such absence and the exact
length of its duration, said note to be
in the handwriting of her parent or
guardian. The following is a note
brought by one of her pupils after a
two weeks absence: "Louisa was alb

A little flaxen-haired Cambridge
girl was quite the pet of her play

to be wondered at that when
company one day visited the school
she was selected to show the

after knowledge in counting. This is
how she reflected credit upon herself
and home:

English Cotton Spinning.
Dry Goods Chronicle.

Dry Goods Chronicle. ....,.
Owing to the perfection of her
spinning machinery and the large
amount OF capital invested in the
business, England spins more wooden
and cotton yarn than all the other
countries combined, and yarns are
among the most important of her
exports. The quality of cotton yarn
in England is expressed by counts or
numbers denoting the number of
hanks in pound, signifying coarse
ness or fneness, This rule ofnumber-
ing is very simple, being the number
of hanks, each $40 yards long, re-
quisite to form one pound in weight.
Thus No. 40 denotes yarns of which
forty hanks weigh one pound.
