TYPEWRITER'S STYLE.
Ease And Expire isiveness Marred by Ma
chine Writing.

A young man. who frankly eonfesses
that he has literary ambitions, wrote
TO the Boston Transcript TO ask II the
use OF the typewriter has an injurious
effect upon the writer's literary style.
The question can only be answered In
a qualified way. The Transcript, after
a good deal OF observation, Is quite
sure that the typewriter Is a bad thing
for literary style, but Of course he
could not pretend that the literary
style OF every author who Uses it is in
furious affected bywriting with q ma
chine. The diction Of certain writers
might even be improved by 1t.
As general thing the typewriter
produces sort OF staccato, discon-
nected, jerky style; TO change the met
aphor, heshless and bony style, and
awkward withal. What Is written with
the machine seldom has the ease and
expressiveness that the same authors
handwriting might have possessed.
The special word by word planning
that goes with II, be it ever 50 slight
and even unconspicuous, does get in
the way Of free expression; and there
is tendency in the writer to think
out his sentences less thoroughly, and
even to use sterotyped expressions,
which fall In more conveniently with
ones practice.
In spite OF all that may be said by
operators about the process becoming
instructive" after time, it could not
possibly become as completely instinct
i've as handwriting is unless every
body wrote from childhood with the
typewriter and nothing but the type
writer. And even II everybody did il
might require generations before the
operation could become as instructive
with civilized people as handwriting is.

Extraordinary Growth.

The following extraordinary instance
OF rapid growth in the human species
has been noted in France by a member
of the French Academy of Science and
reported by him in the ANIMALS Of that
Institution. The subject herein
mentioned was lad Of but 7 years of
age when | first saw him; but his ten
der years notwithstanding, he measured
4 feet, inches and lines high. His
people had observed his maryellons
growth when he was only 2 years Of
age. At 4 he was able 10 lit and carry
bushel Of wheat and to throw tha
bundles of hay (6s pounds) to the four
horses each night; and at 6 he could
lift as much as sturdy fellow Of 20.
But although he thus increased in
bodily strength, his understanding was
no greater than is usual with children
Of his age; playthings were also his
favorite amusements.n

A TwIrlEng stone.

There has been discovered about
half mile west OF the Bargytown
ledges, twirling stone Of about five
tons weight, says the Norwich Bulletin.
1t has always been regarded as a
boulder, and from the way 1t is poised
on the rock beneath it, no one could
see why it should not rock. Hundreds
have tried to rock 1t in vain, and the
surprise OF the man who first felt il
move under pressure may better be
imagined than described. II moves
hard, Of course, but it moves, the
finder informs us, round as il it was
placed upon a pivot. II has been
carefully examined, and while it looks
like a boulder, several allege that it
must be a ceremonial stone set there
by some prehistoric race. This rock
is creating great interest among she
boulder hunters of eastern Connecticut.

EASTER SONG.


"becaTse ttg, yea shall lire a5s1. y
The earth is dark, nor leaf nof blossom
Decks the brown waste; the hills are bare /;
Loss and regret are everywhere.
AM sleeps tAsre not in Natures bosom
Some reeompense, some sweet Fepaifi
Where are our lostf We wander weeping.
Filled full of anguish and dismay;
The world is veiled; the skies are gray /;
Faith in our hearts is dead OF sleeping;
In vain We watch, in vain we pray.
Harks on the leahess boughs shove us
A bluebird's warble, soft and clear;
Look down a blade OF grass is here
Slight choral tiny hint, 20 move US;
Yet tits the turning Of the year
Here tn thy soul, thou unbelieving,
One word forever dear and sure!
81 live" The promise stands secure.
Here is the balm TO heal thy grieving,
Hope of the patient and the pure
Break out, o heavens, into singing;
Awake and shout, o slumtering clod!
Here is thy life. Tho breath Of God
Through earth aud heaven in Joy Is ringing;
His Spring the cold gray fields hath trod
Ye lilies of the field, adore Him,
Ye that have slept IN dust and dew;
fe faithless mortal spirits too,
Bow down with rapturous song before Him.
Behold, He maketh all things newt

Two Gardens.

Here in my garden, where, between brown

Newborn to-day shine forth the crocus

And like soul freed from earth's prison

Its radiant face the sanity snow-drop lifts,
To that far garden meath Judean skies,
Where, in a grave hid in the olives shade,
Once, like a broken lily, Life was laid,
Swift as a home-bound dove the glad
thought flies.

A Rhyme for Easter.

Nor bud nor leaf need / 30 know
When Spring arrives in town;
! find it safe enough 10 go
By Phillis and her gown.
When l behold this dainty lass
Come forth all fresh and fair,
| know that then the spears Of grass
Are showing on the square.
And when in Phillis' bonnet's plume
l spy spray of pink,
I'm sure the crocus is In bloom
Around the fountains brink.
So bring no prosy almanac
My Easter dreams to mar;
With Phyllis near, nothing lack;
She is my calendar.

The employees did not remember the
