Writing with Both Hands.

Owing to the popularity of typewrit-
ers penmanship Is becoming a lost ac-
complishment among business men; but
one gentleman Of this city writes letters
with both hands at once. He is Z. G.
Cockey, of the Western Union building,
and he consented to show a reporter how
to make a manifold machine of himself.
"After endless practice" he said, II
at last found that I was capable of writ
ing with both hands at once, and in this
way | have done considerable writing of
a business nature. OF late years, how
ever, all my writing has been done by
dictation to a stenographer."
Mr.. Cockey drew a pad from a draw
er in his desk, and taking a lead pencil
in each hand he wrote the reporters
name toward the left with the left hand,
and toward the right with the right
hand.
"This is one way of writing it," said
Mr.. Cockey, "but perhaps you would
like to see it written this way" and he
wrote the name upside down with both
hands. Finally he wrote a long sen
tence simultaneously with both hands,

Allegheny City has Il rich young MAI
whose life is a burden to him because he
has nothing to employ his time. A
happy thought struck him, and going to
the proprietor of mans furnishing store
he offered his services without recon-
pense. He had enough money, but he
wanted work. His offer was accepted.
The young fellow enjoyed the change for
a few days until his fellow employees dis
covered he was working without pay.
They at once held an indignation meet
ing and decided that they would be
ruined by the cheap labor of rich men.
A vigorous protest was made to the pro-
prietor of the store, and to avert a strike
he sent Il note to the Alleghenian telling
him his occupation was gone Pittsburg

A Socialist Photographer.

One of the most successful women
photographers has left America for Rus
STA. Mrs. Sergius Shevitch, who was
the beautiful Helene Won Racowitza, and
whose career has been as romantic as
that of any living woman, has the face
Of one to whom life had brought con-
tentment, but showed a restless energy
that did not disdain an outlet In half a
dozen fads, photography being the most
zealously followed.
Her speciality was the portraiture of
children, and | remember chatting with
her one bright morning in the park
when a white capped nurse came along
with a Kate Greenaway urchin that
could just toddle. will you lend me
that baby?:' The a%ristocratic nurse
looked up at the tall, blue eyed blonde
woman and stared. Il only want to
take its picture"
The stare began to spell itself glare.
Come, little one," and Mrs. Schevitsch
conquered the baby's heart with a smile
and an outstretched hand. The nurse
had to follow willy-nilly, and for half
an hour the woman who played so
strange a part in the history Of German
socialism sat on a rock a little away from
the track of ~promenaders and studied
the baby as it tumbled on the grass,
catching it in all sorts of fat armed and
chubby kneed attitudes. New York

wnat Ladies TAX ABOUT.

Whes. two OF three or more married
ladies ere gathered together in q conf
Dental way they almost invariably talk
about servants, babies, and sometimes
husbands are discussed; but cooks and
chambermaids and walters are, upon the
whole, safer subjects. Differences of
opinion have always existed and always
will exist in mixed society as to the
merits of infant prodigies and model
spouses, but in relation to the shortcom-
ings of domestics the ladies are all but
unanimous.
Now the eyes of servants may be full
of notes, but are those of their employ
ers free from beams? 1t must be con-
fessed that the majority of ladies do not
treat their domestics on the .'Do-unto-
others-as-you-would-they Observation-Disclosures
YOU principle. If there is any ground
for the saying that good husbands make
good wives, there is certainly equal rea-
son to expect that just and considerate
employers will be faithfully served. In
the treatment of domestics the famili-
arity that breeds contempt should be
carefully avoided; but it is quite possible
to make those who do your behests your
friends without making them your con-
fdants. Be thoughtful for their COM
fort and welfare. Do not require too
much Of them. Fancy yourselves SER
wants now and then, ladies, in order to
realize how they feel.-New York

An AristOcratic Nurse.

Miss Ellen Kraemer, who has won dis
tinction in the surgical ward of Bellevue
hospital, came all the way from Sweden
to study nursing and medical science.
She's a proud, aristocratic young woman,
whose very presence commands respect.
She wears her hair combed back from a
face that is calm, sensitive and thought
full. She is a girl who makes her indi-
viduality felt, and she has a faculty,
peculiar to herself, of imparting this in
diyiduality to every ward she visits. Her
windows are always draped, and if eur
tains are beyond her reach she will find
a Autograph representing a landscape,
or a branch of willow or magnolia to
tone down the hard light. A railroad
map, for instance, as Miss Kraemer only
knows how to manipulate, has a tracery
effect as pleasing to the patients tired
eyes as a lace curtain. On the compile
ton of her studies she will return to
Sweden.-Exchange.

Boston Women at Block Island,

sort of woman's exchange in a breezy
corner of the wide entrance hall of the
Ocean View hotel at Block Island. The
corner is squared by a rectangular coun-
ter and showcase, wherein, as well as In
the space behind, are displayed a beauti-
full collection of art novelties, fancy
work of all kinds, german fayors, some
lovely foreign bric-a-brac, all sorts OF
materials for dainty summer needle
work, an assortment of fine confection-
cry, and at a corner of the case choice
brands of cigars. Lessons in embroidery
are given by these enterprising young
ladies, and their bazaar is quite a center
Of attraction. Both are exceedingly
pretty and clever and their success is as
much a foregone conclusion as their de-
serts.-Exchange.

Words to a Patient VIE.

Dear Heart, do you suppose We OF the
family think more of clean windows
than we do of your bright, CHEEKY facel
Yet you wear out all your cheer rubbing
at those windows till your face is CHASTITY
tired. You sweep the floors till every
stray straw is frightened out; but your
sweet eyes are full of beams-whole tim
bers of anxiety, depression and gloom.
What do we care-we, the rest of the
family-that every cobweb is broomed
down from the corners, if cobwebs of
gloom festoon your lovely face, mother,
because you are so completely tired out?
You fix the children up in ribbons and
silks; but where are yours, my wife?
When 1 first went accounting you, sweet
heart, long ago, there was not a p~rettier
girl in this old village. Do you think l
have forgotten it?
How you used to gracefully adorn
yourself, you most charming beauty,
who could have gone unadorned then!
Yet you knew the feminine art of beau
ty. Your hair was knotted; your gown
was fastened at the throat; your founce
and skirt were tricked out with such
pretty gewgaws as stole my heart away.
Perhaps you thought I did not notice all
this. Perhaps l was not myself conscious
that I noticed them. But, Dear Heart,
now that l do not see them any more, I
notice their lack. 1t pains me. Not that
my love is tied and pinned to you by any
such t%rifies, for you arc more than life to
me. Yet such things were not trifes.-

heavy. Within the past month OF so
the Manufacturers Record has learned
of upwards of $50, 100000 of English
money offered for investment i'll the en-

town schemes, mineral properties, ETC.
In addition to this enormous amount,
heavy investments, not included in this
summary, are already being made. The
Record says that within the next six
months the aggregate investments of
English money in Southern enterprises
will astonish the whole country. We
are at the beginning of a period of
activity which will bring greater pros
perity to the south than has ever been
