The Typewriter's Romance.

to break the mOnotOny of business.
About year ago a good.natured
freshman came to me and said that he
could not read or write, but wanted
me to write letter for him inviting
one of the chamber maids to attend a
dance on the West Side. Il was done
In short order, and the poor fellow was
so pleased with it that refused to ac-
cept any pay for the work, and offered
TO read to him the answer just as soon
as he should bring it to me. The next
day one of the chamber maids came to
me and asked me to write letter &C.
cepting an invitation to a dance. She
had managed to spell out the precious
message that the pOstman had unex-
pectedly brought her, and she wanted
to send an equally neat and polite re-
ply. After that an energetic epistola-
tory bombardment was begun, and 1

Short shrift.
One of the leading banking firms in
Paris, ON the recommendation of q Lon
don correspondent, engaged an English
clerk OF the name Of Stephenson. For
about three years the mans punctuality
was altogether unprecedented. He came
to his work ut IN the morning and did
not leave the Office before the last stroke
Of 3. he was not man, he was clock.
Besides, during the whole time he never
asked for holiday. One fine morning,
however, to the great surprise Of his SUI
perior, Stephenson blushingly craved
permission to absent himself for an hour
on the following day.
Next day at 10 he left the Office. It
was observed that carriage stood wait
ing for him at the door. At o'clock he
drove up again in the same carriage and
resumed his calculations as cool and self
possessed as if nothing had happened.
This short absence puzzled the brains of
all the employees in the bank. The prin-
cipal himself, eager to obtain the solu-
ton OF the enigma, invited this paragon
OF clerks TO dinner. Between two glasses

1t has been noticed that platinum.
when placed in an electrical current, is
heated to dull redness. This fact is
the basis OF the invention of an electri-
cal saw which will cut quickly and
neatly the hardest wood.
The device is made of steel wire, upon
which is deposited metallic platinum.
BY connecting this modified wire with
she terminals Of four Bunsen batteries
the platinum is heated to bright red
ness, and the saw is ready for business.

SENATOR FRYE ADDRESSES A LARGE

LIQUOR SELLING.

The largest crowd ever gathered at a
temperance meeting in Androscoggin
county heard Senator Frye at the Pine
Street Congregational Church last
week. Hundreds of people were
turned away.
The Senator said "No man in this
audience will differ with me relative
to the evils Of this Moloch monster in
temperance, unless, perhaps, it be the
rum seller, and ask is he entitled to
an opinion? Is his opinion worth
anything2 My deliberate Judgment
is, and | measure my words, that there
is no worse man to be found than the
rum seller and so far as his opinion
being worth anything in this question,

One of the minor picturesque feat
ures of the Ohio election, is theemblem
which, according to law, every party
ticket must bear. While the Republic
cans have selected the American eagle,
the unterh6ed Democracy will put a
rooster at the head of their ticket,
growing and rampant. A plow and
hammer is the device chosen by the
Peoples party, while a full-blOwn rose
heads the Prohibition ticket. These
are suggestive headings, serving at
once to put unwary voters ~on guard
and to awaken enthusiasm among
jealous partizans

The Catholic congress which met in
Berlin last week, assumed unexpected
Importance. A committee was formed
to convOke great international con-
gress, probably in Switzerland, in MAY
next, for the consideration of the ques-
ton OF the restoration of the temporal
power of the Pope. Delegates will be
summoned from every Catholic COM
munity in the world. The question of
the restoration of temporal power to
the Pope, will be treated not as an
Italian question but as one of uni
versal concern.

The experiments in Bellamyism do
not seem to succeed in real life as they
do in Mr.. Bellamy's book. For in
stance the Decatur Cooperative House
keeping Club has just collapsed. The
club consisted of ten or twelve families
who rented dining-room, hired
housekeeper to take charge of the
servants, and paid the expenses of fur

a half but the novelty soon wore off,

In summer, but the rest of the year a
soft black hat covers his head. The
memory of Wall street runneth not back
20 the time when Deacon White was
ever seen in any other kind of hat than
those named. If he were to possess a

try to double it up and put IL in his
pocket. He sits on his straw hats the
same as on his soft hats.-New York
