Natural.

He Defends His Own Guild-Which is
Natural.
EDITORS HERALD: Considering the
extreme wickedness and dishonesty Of
all members OF my trade (for our enemy,
the public. never makes any distinction
between the individuals engaged in
court reporting), it is strange that it is
always deemed necessary, in writing
TRADES against court reporters, to resort
to falsehood and Misrepresentation. 1t
is universally known that, for court
reporter in Los Angeles, $l04 per day is
but drop in the bucket, and that the
800 comes in more regularly than clock
work, week days and Sundays, the year
round, the reporter meantime sitting
idly around while his shorthand notes
hatch out, and displaying little energy
only when the moment comes for him
to open his purse and allow the afore-
said hundred to flow in. My only pur-
pose in referring to the article published
in this mornings HERALD is to call at
tention TO few exaggerations and mac
curacies which fear might tend to give
my fellow-tradesmen the big-head.
First, transcript costing SIG must con-
tain 5000 words, which, II taken IN
shorthand in twenty minutes, would
give the reporter the passably good rec
ord of 400 words per minute. Second,
5000 words would be equal to thirty-two
pages of typewriting, which, if
written in one hour and half,
would give the typewriter the very fair
record OF twenty-five pages per hour.
Third, after taking out one-quarter of
the price of transcript for typewriter
and other expenses, the total profit on
the case referred to would be $22 in
stead OF $26- Fourth, the law knows no
fractions of days, and allows the re-
porter $40 day for reporting in court,
besides transcription fees; and the re-
porter gets but one per diem if he
should report ten cases in one day, each
case paying its proportion of the $40. !
don't object to having people think
am millionaire, because then / might
be able to borrow some money, but /
really would hate to have the boys get
in the habit of lying about their speed.

ONE of the court reporters writes a
facetious and ironical response to COM
munication which appeared in the HER
AID few days ago. 1t is natural
enough for the writer to stand up in de-
Tense of his guild, and the assertion that
court reporters make $100 day may be
extreme. 1t probably is. But the
broad general fact remains, that justice
in California is luxury SO expensive

SOUND WORDS.

Real happiness consists Of health,
selfrespect, the good will Of the COM
munity, and sufficient income te
crafty your reasonable wants.
Everything else is trivial and not
worth bothering about. The man
who has steady work, fair wages. a
cosey home. enough to eat, a thick
overcoat, and the consciousness Of
personal integrity, is nightly
favored fellow, in possession of more
than three quarters of the best things
which this world sffords.-New
York Herald. To the above an ex-
change adds the following:
The above are sound words from
sound brain, and should be the
basis of the endeavors Of any young
man starting out in life. One great
trouble with many yeung America s
is, they aim too high. 1t is true we
should keep the muzzle Of our guns
slightly elevated, but it is better to
shoot at a target within the range Oh
our ability than to waste ammunition
on impossible objects.
Emerson's advice to .,''hitch your
wagon to STAR is very nice to
read, and it pleases the mind; bat
when you 60 to business sure
enough, it would be more sensible
to hitch your wagon even to don
key. A greater practical result
would follow.
In some portions Of our land, q
large number of farmer boys are
chafing under home restraints, and
are longing to get out into tue world
20 achieve a fortune or name.
Well, the world can manage to wag
its way along without any more
geniuses, or statesmen. or famous
men. As for the fortune, nine hun
ired and ninety nine out Of every
thousand fail in that.
It is true somebody must be the
thOusandth man, but the vast majeri
ty of ma nkind must be content with
neing mum bered among the nine
hundred and ninety-nine. So to ne-
come O millionaire every maa must
remember that not many chances in
q hundred thousand are his.
But because this vast majority of
human kind fails to achieve wealth
are their failures in life. Are they
to be considered failures, because
their efforts in that direction have
proved abortive? Not at all. A
surplus of cash is not the prime
factor in the problem of happiness.
nor is mans usefulness to be
measured by bis bank stock. That
is enc Of the chief benefits Of our
social customs.
Ifthe young man then wants to
know what to aim at, we would say,
aim at what you wish TO hit. .f.you
want to lit a stump, by all means ia
;he world, don't aim y; tne moon.

The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1891-03-06

From which 1t appears that on 3 per cent.
grade Il in SOY the force required is twice as
great as on one of in 600, and that the load
could be hauled more than twice as far on
level with the same expenditure of power.
If the grade is ten per cent. it takes about six
horses to do the work of one. The great inn
portance of low grades can therefore be seen
at glance, and it is far better to run around
hill or spur by curved line nearly level,
than to GO straight over 1t. The resistance
offered by grades, as our roads are built, is
often greater than all the others put together.
Yet how little attention is paid TO this matter
by road viewers If railroad is to be built
it's engineers select the best line they can find
for the purpose, even if it be necessary to run
through houses, and the law sustains them.
The same liberty should be extended to the
highway. Again steep grade causes wash
outs and increases cost OF maintenance.
THE SURFACE COVERING.
A third point requiring special attention is
the character of the surface. 1t should be
both hard and smooth. These requirements
may be more or lees perfectly met by
variety of materials, and it follows that the
hardest and smoothest surface ia generally
obtained at the greatest cost. 1t is therefore
sometimes q difficult matter to determine
whether the necessary expense would be
iustif1able. In many cases the traffic would
not warrant it, but this is matter which each
district must settle for itself.
The great range in the resistance offered to
traction by the different kinds OF surfaces 10
we'll shown in the following table derived
from the experiments of the old road builders.

cost of $66per mile Or 1t represents S31 900
days labor. which might be employed in
other wealth-pFodueing industries.
Other freights would swell the waste to
81 600 600. In England the saving between
well-kept and neglected turnpikes is estima-
ted to be 100000 900, which represents the
difference between three and four horses for
load.
The estimated loss on the marketing Of the
hay crop of 5000 tons was $1,5SO,0 900, due
to bad roads, while the total ann ual losses
are not less than $6.0e4 900, or the interest
on $100,000,000.
The road tax Of Allegheny county amounts
to about $l4O, 900 annually, while for tho en-
tire State it is, according to the best estimate
obtainabe, about 100000. What have we
