What the Typewriter Might Have

Had the typewriter been intro.
duced when the world was younger,
how differently many things might
have been ordered. Ancient records
would have been found transcribed In
a much neater hand than now. The
young ladies of ancient Egypt could
have found more agreeable employ
ment than carrying water pots around
on their heads, and Syrian maidons
would not have been compelled to
cut and lug the cedars of Lebanon
down from the mountains. Instead
of dancing before Saul to earn her
bread, the Damascus girl might have
danced up to the old King and got a
job as q typewriter at $40 week
and found.

fercely addressed to his adversaries
and sent to the leading sporting pa
pers. DelIlah might have been a
much more amiable comrade as Sam
sons ype-writer, Tor the occupation
might have pleased her hayward
fancy and gratified her ambition.
The willy daughter of Aristoonius,
who danced off the head of John the
Baptist, was OF a different type; still
she might have made good type
writer for John, since she was active
and bright. But she wasn't SO care
full about putting heads to articles as
she was in taking them off

Other celebrated female characters
might be cited as possessing the

Eliza beth-but she wouldn't allow
any man to dictate to her, that was
the trouble. When it came to sign

was good. Lucretia Borgia would
have made good type writer for a

writing out prescriptions. Owing TO
ungovernable temper she would have
been poison to almost anybody who
employed her.

stood TO have been introduced into Para
quay by the Jesuits and the seeds dis
tributed by the birds. However this
may be, the orange has spread all over
the country, from the river banks to the
tops of the hills, and from the cottages
even to the deepest solitudes of the vir-
gin forest. Paraguay is the land Of
orange trees more truly than the coun-
try of Mignon. And what orangesl
Juicy, perfumed and of a delicacy that
Spain and Italy have never attained.
The chief industry consists in the ex-
portation of the fruit.
The great orange season is from May
to August, when the ports of the Para
quay river, from Humaita to Asuncion,
dispatch enormous quantities by steam
ers and schooners. Villeta, San Lorenzo
and San Antonio are the principal ports,
and there best may be seen the pictur-
esque professions of laughing and
screaming girls and women, who carry
basket after basket of fruit on their
heads from the shore to the ship, like a
swarm of busy ants. Up to the present
no industrial use has been made of the
orange. Some sixty millions are ex-
ported annually, the same quantity is
consumed by the natives, and perhaps
treble that quantity is devoured by
monkeys aud birds, or left to rot on the
ground.-Theodore Child in Harper's.

The Roman oath of olden times was
made with great solemnity and elabora-
ton. In Roman mythology Juno, max
ing a promise to sleep, strengthened it
by taking the heavens in one hand and
the earth in the other. Greeks and Ro-
mans swore by their gods, by the Styx, by
Olympus, by hell, by their sacred springs,
wells and rivers, and by the sun and the
moon. Their oaths were of much value
and meaning during the early days of the
republic. but worthless after they became
corrupt.
Oaths lost their sanctity and became
colloquial or p~rofane at a very early time
among the Jews. Greek ladies swore
daintily by Venus, Diana and Juno, and
now and then by some male god whose
name was frequently taken in vain by
heir liege lords. The French monarchs,
too, had their own peculiar forms of
oaths.-St. Louis Republic.

Hunting Guinea ER-

To find q guinea nest was the very
poetry of egg hunting. The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afield. The
bush pasture was their chosen haunt,
and had such store of hidden hooks, such
clumps of brake and briar, such steep
grassy banks, such tangle of sedge and
dewberry and plum thicket, that we
would never nave found an egg but for
the birds queer habit. When the hen
goes to the nest her mate stands guard
over her on the nearest bare spot, and
fills the air with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the pair. Madam chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth of it. Flowers often nod above
it, grass is sure to spring greenly about
the edge. Overhead is always shelter of
some sort, for the maker knows i~nstinc-
lively that sunshine will addle her pre-
cious eggs. Her small cousin, the par
fridge, SO admires her taste hat some
times she decides to share the nest.
Sometimes, too, a hen of independent
mind comes a-grasshoppering into the
bush pasture, and puts her eggs into
such shelter. Very often we found forty
eggs to the nest. And when we took
them out it was always with q silver
spoon. Black nanny taught us, "Ef
yer puts han in dar, de guinea1l smell
it an quit de nes'." Whatever the rea-
son, the fact was none the less fact

A. C, BucKENBERGER- in the country. He
first came into prominence by reason of
his splendid playing with the Crescent and
Cass teams, both amateur organizations of
Detroit. His first professional engage
ment was in 1888, as second baseman for
the indianapolis team. but the Terre Haute
management paid a large sum for his re-
lease before the close of the season. He
jumped into popular favor at once, and he
was ~re-engaged at an increased salary for
the following season.
In 1885 he made his first appearance as a
manager, having charge of the Guelph
club Of the Canadian league. In the fol-
lowing year he took hold of the Wheeling
club of the Tristate league, which posi-
tion he held with credit to himself till the
close OF the season of 1888. In 1889 he
transferred his services to Columbus, and
during that season and 1890 he made an ex-
cellent reputation as manager. This sea-
son he is managing the sioux City club,
which, under his able direction, is keeping
well up with the leaders in the struggle
for the p%ennant of the Western association.

THE CONVERSION OF LONDON.
Effect on Engiand's History of the Teach
fngs of the Early Church.

Eject on England's History of the Teach
ings of the Early Church.
London was converted in A. d. 604.
The citizens relapsed, it is true, but they
were again converted, and then, in sober
earnest, put away their old gods, keep
ing only a few of the more favorite SUI
perstitions. Some of these remain still
with us. They were so thoroughly con-
verified that the city of London became a
veritable mother of saints.
There was the venerable Erkenwald-
saint and bishop-he who built Bishops
gate on the site of the old Roman gate;
there was st. Ethelburga, the wife of
Sebert, the first Christian king-her
church still stands, close beside the site
of the old gate; there was st. Osyth-
queen and martyr-the mother of King
Ofa-her name also survives in Size, or
st. Osyth's lane, but the church of st.
Osyth was rededicated to st. Ben'et
Sherehog-Benedict Skin-the-Pig-you
may see the little old churchyard still,
black and grimy, surrounded on three
sides by tall houses.
English piety loved to dedicate
churches TO English s~aints-more likely
these than Italian or French to Took
after the national interests. Thus there
were In London churches dedicated to
st. Dunstan, st. Swithin, st. Botolph
(whose affection for the citizens was so
well known that it was recognized by
four churchesl st. Edmund the Martyr,
and later on, when the Danes got their
turn, churches to st. Olaf and st. Mag
nus.
The English,nan, thus converted, was
received into the company of civilized
nations. Scholars came across the Chan
mel to teach him Latin, monks came to
teach him the life of self sacrifice, obedi-
ence, submission and abstinence. The
monastery reared its humble walls every
where-the first foundation of the first
Bishop Of London was a monastery. In
time of war the monasteries were spared.
Therefore the people settled around them
and enjoyed their protection. The mon
astery towns grew rapidly anderospered.
New arts were introduced and taught by
the monks; new ideas sprang up among
the people; new wants were created.
Moreover, intercourse began with other
nations; the ecclesiastic who journeyed
to Rome took with him a goodly troop
of priests, monks and laymen; they saw
strange lands and observed strange GUS
toms.-Walter Besant in Harper's.

A Cat That Can Open a Door.

A black cat called Downward, who
lives at Montreux. has learned how TO
open the door. You know, no doubt,
that the Swiss door handles are different
from ours, going up and down. Bon
inward found by jumping on the handle
he could open the door. There is also in
this house n gray cat, who is a great
friend of his. One day Peter was out
side, and mewed to come in; his mistress
was busy writing, and took no notice;
Peter became more urgent; Bonni-
ward, who was asleep on a chair, raised
his head and listened, and seeing
Peters a still unattended to he
got up, walked across the room, opened
the door and admitted his friend.

most intelligent, and tortoise shell cate
the most amiable, of the cat tribe. l

belief?-Cor, London Spectator.
