A Typewriter's Romance.

A pretty little romance is round
ing into shape in the office of an in
vestment company in Kansas City.
A handsome and worthy young lady
typewriter and a young man of sub
stantial business standing, Of good
habits and pleasant place, are the
parties to it. An aged and rather
well-to-do widower who lives in
suburbs town had a good deal of
business with the investment COM
pany, and was favorably taken with
the typewriter letters that he had
from the company. ''These things
are gotten up in good shape" said
he, "and I'd like to see the one that
composes 'em. They are easy to
read and to the point" The old
gentleman's son, by way of joke,
told his father that a handsome young
woman prepared the letters, and
that she was the sweetest and most
practical girl on earth. The old
man said little, but began an inves-
tigati9 alton, and at the office of the
company was directed to rougish
young woman, who admitted the
authorship of the letters. The old
man meant business, and very
promptly and pointedly told her that
she would win a good home and
a snug fortune by marrying him.
The young woman would not make
positive reply, but to carry on the
joke, gave tacit consent to the old
boys suit.
About this time word was con-
veyed to the son who had sought to
be funny with his father, that the
old gentleman and the young woman
had really serious intentions. He
then set about to stop it. Going to
the young woman he said to her in
his matter of fact way that he was
decidedly opposed to a marriage be-
tween her and his father; that he
had money of his own, and would
gladly contribute any reasonable sum
that she might name rather than have
the marriage take place. This was
the first intimation that the young
woman had that the affair was grow
ing serious enough to be looked upon |
as certainty by the old gcntlemau's |
family. She very frankly confessed |
to the solicitous son of the aged |
swain that she had only been ro-
and that he need not fear
that she would take the office of |
to him. In this inter-
view both were enthusiastically |
pleased and frank, and they parted |
good friends and so on.
The young man found it necessary
to call again and again, and the
young typewriter welcomed him cor
daily each time. And so visits have |
gone on, and the friendship has
grown into love between them, and
here is the romance. This explains |
why a wealthy young man is soon to
marry a pretty typewriter girl.

How to Use the Pen.

Every time you are tempted to say
an ungentle word, or write an unkind
line, or say a mean, ungracious thing
about anybody, just stop: look ahead
twenty-five years, and think how it
may come back to you then. Let me
tell you how write mean letters and
and bitter editorials, my boy. Some
times when man has pitched into
me and ''cut me up rough" and [
want to pulverize him and wear his
scalp on my girdle, and hang his hide
on my fence, write letter or edi-
torial that is to do the business. /
write something that will drive sleep
from his eyes and peace from his
soul for six weeks. Oh, l do hold
him over a slow fire and roast him
Gall and aqua .fortis drip from my
blistering pen. Then, 1 don't mail
the letter, and | don't print the edi-
torial. There's always plenty of
time to cruelty man. The vilest
criminal is entitled to little reprieve
l put the manuscript away in a draw
er. Next day | look at it. The ink
is cold; read it over and say, 81
don't know about this. There's a
good deal of bludgeon and bowie
knife journalism in that. I'll hold
it over a day longer The next day
| read it again. | laugh, and say,
s'Pshaw !" and Lean feel my cheeks
getting little hot. The fact is,
am ashamed that / ever wrote it,, and
/ hope that nobody has seen it, and
[ have half forgotten the article or
letter that filled my soul with rage.
| haven't hurt anybody, and the
world goes right along, making TWEEN
ty-four hours a day as usual, and I
am all the happier. Try it, my boy.
Put off your bitter remarks until to-
morrow. Then, when you try to say
them deliberately, you'll find that
you have forgotten them, and ten
years later, ah how glad you will be
that you did Be goodnatured, my
boy. Be loving and gentle with the
world, and you'll be amazed to see
how dearly and tenderly the worried,
loves YOUR. j. Burdette.

Summer.

The thrushes pour their silver notes like rain
All day within the dim moss -muffled lane,
The laurel dreams within the leafy meadow.
So many roses are there blinking the light,
So many daisies all IN frills of white,
There is scarce room for one dim prowling shadow
The white clouds make fair pictures they pass
Across the blue sea still and clear as glass,
The wild sedge shows the silver in its keeping
To all the little huttering gales that rise
To push the painted sails of butterflies,
Or to laughter lazy brooks a-sleeping.
The morning mists about the rough brown rocks
Wear blue bells tangled in their airy locks
And bind-weed cups in many dainty cluster;
And even the gray beard twilight finds delight
In tnkling notes and FREELY torches bright,
And primroses that keep the sunshine's lustre.
The balmy moons are full of honied sweet,
Rich blossoms bask in the delicious heat
The airs enchanted like a dream of fairy;
Even Time, himself, taking a long nap,
The bald old hill puts shadow cap
And seems to nod within the distance airy.
The lady moon who has such lovely scenes
To look upon, from her high easement leans
Before the sunset loses its red splendor,
While softly hidden in the poplar leaves,
Some little ght bird subtlest music weaves,
And in faint whispers comes the dew fall tender.
Dear Summer, linger. Not alone for flowers,
Nor sunny light, nor brooks, tuueful bowers,
Nor golden bees unsteady humming.
But new hope rises on thy joyous way,
Old disappointments flee like ghosts by day,
For summer clothes far the most becoming.

Great Waste Spots.

The Sahara Desert, according to
Mr.. Joseph F. James, is a diversi-
fed area 3,100 miles long by 600
wide. Summer is its only season,
its days scorching, its nights cold.
Its soil is chiefly gravel and coarse
sand. Its GASES enable caravans to
cross it, although much of the area
is otherwise waterless and destitute
of all vegetation and animal life.
The Desert of Globe, the Asiatic
Sahara, is more than 1900 miles
long and 500 wide. It is a plateau
5000 feet high, and waste of sand
and rock, with few GASES, and only
five trees in distance of 500 miles.
Ice forms nearly every night, and
the temperature often falls to so or
400 below zero. The interior of
Australia rivals these two great des-
erts, and is the most terrible of all
to travellers on account of its heat
and lack of water. It contains about
half-million square miles, and the
northern part is almost entirely des-
titute of vegetation. The Arabian
Desert is sandy waste of about
1000 square miles, dotted here and
there with a few stunted bushes of
dwarfed palms. A characteristic of
this and other Asiatic deserts is the
suffocating simeon. A large part of
Persia is a desert tract, in which
vegetation is so rare that one may
travel 800 miles and see only one
tree. Here the salt desert, with a
porous, crusted surface, often ex-
tends one hundred miles in length
by half as much in width. In South
America the Puma extends for $50 |
Spanish miles in length, at an eleva-
ton CT $4,000 feet. A brown grass
covers the ground, there are but few
trees, and a single tuberous plant |
alone can be cultivated. Animal life |
s comparatively abundant. Another
desert of Peru-now partially sub
lued by man and crossed by rail-
stretches 1920 miles along
;he Pacific from s to so miles wide.
The Great American Desert of the
United States is a basin region of
many hundred square miles of rock,
sand and alkali, with scanty growth
If sage brush, and little animal
ife.

1t would appear that, in the mat
ter of pile-driving by machinery, the
apparatus employed in England at
the present time is a decided i'm
provement on the device which has
so long been in use in this country
for that purpose. Raising a hammer,
and having it's height drive the pile
into the earth as the hammer falls,
Notwithstanding its accomplishment
of the work, involves an amount of
time out of all proportion to what
should be required for such a result.
In the improved device, the driver is
made in the form of heavy steam
cylinder, the lower end of which
forms hammer-head and acts upon
the pile; the piston rod is extended
sufficiently to form an eye, rope
being attached to this, and by means
of which the whole device may be
raised and lowered by hosting en-
CINE in the customary manner. In
driving the pile, steam is admitted to
the cylinder, which is raised to height
only limited by its length, and the
simple operation of opening a large
exhaust valve, and causes the cylin-
der to fall upon the pile and drive it
certain distance. The effective
blows thus given can be repeated
very rapidly.

An August Memory.

The sky shut down wide, blue tent
Across our little world that day,
While, like white sails that came and went
Upon a sun-fecked azure bay,
The soft clouds moved in airs of balm;
So far away all fret and din,
1t seemed the waters, wide and calm,
Had girt fairy island in.
The fragrance of the dreamful air
Was like a hint of southern shores,
As drifting idly, here and there,
We quite forgot our unstirred oars.
We passed the spot where violets grew,
And breathed their wine-like sweetness in;
fairef day never knew;
think no fairer one has been.
The water lilies lifted up,
To catch the wine of air and sun,
A dainty and fragrant cup,
And they were trimming, every one;
She broke one from its slender stem,
And babe me drink the draught of youth
From chalice fairer than gem;
A happy draught, it was, in truth.
We watched robin on her nest,
And heard sky-lark's silver song
Somewhere above us, in the west,
While drifting dreamiy along,
Past shores where willows leaned to dip
The eddying waters, side by side,
And watched the lights and shadows slip
In changeful beauty down the tide.
We sang together as tie sun
Sailed down the blue sea of the west,
Of all our songs, the sweetest one,
little madrigal of rest.
And ever, as the pauses came,
We heard the robin singing, low,
A song whose burden was the same
As that which thrilled our heart-strings so.
And so drifted with the day
Into the evening of the west;
The world seemed far and far away,
But love sailed with us as a guest.
And on, and on, but never back,
Into the sunsets yellow sea,
With moonlight sparkling in our track,
Glad-hearted, silent, drifted we.
o, it was such pleasant dream;
Earth seemed to us enchanted land,
AS we went drifting down the stream,
And felt the touch of each dear hand.
And since that day, my heart has been
AS glad as any heart can be,
For love, who steered our vessel IN.
Has made his home with her and me.
