The demand for good, careful and accurate
stenographers and typewriters is increasing,
not decreasing, says the Ladies' Home Journal.
A girl needs to know how to spell and punctu-
ate a letter, besides being able to correct one
that is wrong dramatically. She must be pos
sessed Of that rare and priceless qualification
common sense. She must be observing and she
should have an average amount Of intelligence.
No prodigy is required.
Al to wages, the average young girl cannot
expect to be paid Is much e. the average man.
It is hard to say why this IL 90, for she is almost
always just as capable. Ayo1ng woman, for in
stance, will get go or sl2 Q week where q
young man Of the same caliber will
receive from els to Gao. Perhaps there
is an indefnable feeling among en-
ployers that they cannot exact 20 much from Q
woman Is they can from Q man. A man will
be often required 10 do . great deal Of miscel-
laneous work in connection with shorthand
and typewriting, which would never be i'm
posed on . woman.
But there can be no doubt that there is still
room for those who will take the trouble to
properly equip themselves for the work. The
remuneration IL ample for the needs Of the av-
erage girl and greatly in excess Of that paid for
other kinds Of clerical work.

Miner b. n. Drazal 1T was ten years ago
when I purchased a strip of land near Sonora,
Mexico, forty miles from the mouth Of the st.
Pedro river and thirty miles from Cananara.
'The land was good mining property, and I
knew IL it were worked right I could make a
good many thousand dollars. 1 had s. 5000
when I started to work, aud with part Of this I
purchased mining implements, powder, &c.
For eighteen months I worked alone at the
mine, drilled q tunnel 600 feet long through
hard rock, and finally struck what I was look
ing for-an ~arsenica ledge of silver. / had
worked Sundays, Christmas, Thanksgiving and

The government board is by no means dis

Feminine Profanity.

Eom u Now VI oun.
A complaint commonly made against our
fashionable girls is that they use slang border
ing on actual profanity. A maiden with brown
eyes and q rosy mouth crept close to q bashful
young man at q reception, and said:
IF you'll never let on, I'll tell something"
The young man blushed and promised never
to break the confidence reposed in him.
"Well, it's just this" said the girl. ''when
anything goes very wrong with me I swear"
The young man attempted to observe that
swearing, in q pretty young lady, was naughty,
but he made a failure Of it, and his companion
went on talking.
"More girls swear than you think. I just
know any quantity Of them that are positively
shocking when they get provoked. My chum
Mignon is really terrible sometimes. I toldher
the other day that / would have to stop going
with her il she didn't refrain from saying bad
words. She couldn't miss O car, stub her toe,
or burst q button of her glove but she ex-
pressed herself most frightfully right before
everybody. Now, ii isn't nice, il Il, for o girl
to use swear words2 And it really will get to
be a regular thing with US II we don't stop. I
am already addicted to the habit. Why, / broke
the point of my thumb nail today, and when
l did it l just let out good"
"What did you say2" the bashful young man
managedt to ask.
~ said oh, DEVIL"
The young man blushed q livelier red and
asked the poor, forsaken girl il he might get a
cup Of chocolate for her.

too blamed stylish since it got railroads. and q

more of having the roof ratified down over our
heads nights than Boston folks think Of wad-
ing around in slush and mush mp TO their
knees. This doesn't seem 30 have been much
OF a shake. yet II was a bigger one than Cali
fornia has had for more than twenty wears.
The last big one was the year that the frst
railroad Was finished across the continent
That big shake came as If California was shak-
ing hands with old times and the days Of emf
grant trains. There have been nothing mueh
but little quiyers since that time-nothing
wholesome, nothing worth counting, nothing
to make a man stop and think of his soul /
tell you. back in the old days earthquakes took
the place Of missionaries. They were
cost snytbing to support EN-. Why.
I've seems gang Of men getting ready TO have =
little sociable orgy on a chilly night, when,
whizz! the mountains would begin 20 teeter,
the ground would go loose under your feet: IL
there was any glass around IL would shiyer and
fall Then the men would look white round
the gilis; some of EN- would complain Of being
dead sick TO the pits Of the stomach, and IL
there was anything drunk that night IL had
water in il, and there would be considerable
more quiet TO the game, if il came OF at all.
There was a little shake when I was out in
California, on one of those excursions here n
few years ago. but it was a poor third-rate.
good-for-nothing little quiver-didn't even
shake down any plaster. Folks didn't use TO
plaster their houses. They boarded EN- up or
sealed EN- with cloth and let it 60 at that. But
it seems that yesterday there was a grand shak-
ing up, and plaster crumbled and fell. Good
Lord! L wish I'd been there. I'd give a
good deal to see the mountains teeter and feel
the ground go the way it used to in the spring
