The Demnnd for stenographers.

TIE demand for good, careful and
accurate stenOgraphers and type
writer's Is increasing, not decreasing,
saws The Ladies' Home Journal A
girl needs to know how to spell and
punctuate a letter, besides being able
to correct one that is wrong gramma' =
icaIly. She must be possessed Of
that rare and priceless qualification
common sense. She must be observ-
ing, and she should have an average
amount of intelligence. No prodigy
is required.
AS 10 wages, the average young
girl cannot expect to be aid as mucn
as the average man. 1t is hard to say
why this is so, for she is almost al
ways lust as capable. a young wo-
man, for instance, will get ten or
twelve dollars u week where a young
man of the same caiibre will receive
fifteen or twenty dollars. Perhaps
there is an indefinable feeling among
employers that they cannot exact so
much from woman "a they can
from a man. \ man will be often re-
duired TO do a great deal of mIscella-
neous work in connection with short
hand and type writing, which would
never be imposed on a 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 re-
Enumeration is ample for the needs OF
the average giIl, and greatly in excess
of that paid for other kinds of cieri-
cal work.

Returned With Thanks.

IT is great mistake for the literary
aspirant to imagine that his returned
manuscript. has committed any Of
Tense, or that his muse, if he has
strided Pegasus, cannot soar. What
he must do is to sail forth with it
again and again, until it reaches a
favored pert, which il will surely
do if it has the requisite merit, som> :
where and at SOME date. President
Lincoln used to say, when he was
trying fait hfully anu with great dill
gence to place the various able men
who were presented to him for the
civil service and for the army, that it
was very ditIioult mRtter to get the
square pegs in the round holes and
the round pegs in the square ones.
And tits just this difficulty which
confronts the writer toi periodicals
and magazines. No matter how ex-
perienOed he may be, he will often
fail before he brings his commodity
to the market which waits for it.
But editors do not wish to be cruel
or hard hearted, however much they
may seem 80 to the uuspurred aud
unlledged writer. The very best and
most famous of them have often told
me that one of the saddest and most
thank less duties they have to pc =
form, is to return Il Cpltri JQti Il that
for some good reason does not prov Q
to DE available. When [ once wrote
some verses treating this necessity
humorously, had to.apply to three
editors in succession before | could
get them printed, the first two as ur-
ing me sorrowfully that the matter
was quite too serious to be treated
with levity.-JOeI Benton, IN The
Ladies' Home Journal.

Jason,s Labors.

Now they all went up together to
the field where the bulls were breath
ing flame. There already was Eetes
and Medea and all the COlchians had
come to see Jason die. A pillow had
been brought, TO which he was TO
harness the bulls. Then he walked
up to them, and they blew fire at him
that famed all around him, but the
magic drug protected him. lie took
a horn of one bull in his right hand,
aud horn of the other in his left,
and dashed their heads together so
nightly that they fell, WheH they
rose, all trembling, he yoked them to
the pillow, and drove thems.with his
spear, TIL ali the field was pIowed in
straight ridges aud burrows. Then
he dipped. his helmet in the river,
and drank water, for he was weary :;
and next he sOwed the dragons teeth
on the right and left. Then you
might see spear points, and sword
points, aud crests of helmets break
up from the soil like shoots of corn,
and presently the earth was shaken
like sea waves, as armed men leaped
out of the burrows, al furious for hat
tie. But Jason, as Medea had told
MIN to do, caught up great rock,
and threw it among them, and he
who was struck said to his neigh
Dor, ''You struck me. Take THAR
and hewed him down through the
helmet; but another said, "You shall
not strike him!' and ran his spear
| through the mans breast, but before
lie could draw it out another man had
cleft his helmet with q stroke, ana SO
it went. A few minutes of striking
and shouting, while the sparks of fire
sprang up from helmet, and breast
plate, and shield. And the furrow
ran rel with blood, and wounded
men crawied on hands and knees "a
strike or stab IN Use that were yet
standing and fighting. SO AK and
sword a ID spear flashed and fell, TIL
now all the men were down but one,
taller and stronger than the rest
ROuLd him he looked, and saw ouly
Jason standing there, aud he staggeI-
ed t. ward him, bleeding, and lifting
his great ak above his head. But j
son only stepped aside from the blow

AS Australia is the only country
that has succeeded in effectually
stamping out scab in sheep, it may be
worth while to look at the methods
which have been used there. In the
first place, the authorities take every
precaution against the introduction
of the disease by compelling that All
sheep imported, whether known to be
diseased or not, shall be treated by
dipping in a special preparation be-
fore being permitted to mingle with
others. This dip (the composition OF
which will give further on) has the
sanction of the Chief Inspector of
stock, who says that he has never
known a single dressing, carefully
prepared, TO fail of accomplishing the
desired end. Nevertheless, the Legis-
lature compels three dressings for i'm
ported animals. Two preparations
are in use, the simplest OF which con-
sists of one pound of sound leaf OF
manufactul ed tobacco and one pou nd
| Of flowers of sulphur to five gallons
If water. The tobacco is prepared
| the night previous to dipping by boil
| ing the water and adding the tobacco
| in proportion not exceeding one gal
| ion of water 10 one pound of tobacco
| Allow the infusion to stand all night
| i'm the boiler, well covered over
| Mix the bath with hot water to the
desired heat and strength in the
morning thoroughly MIX the sulphur
in seperate vessel, to the consistency
of Cruel before putting it in the bath
and keep it well stirred before i'm
mersing the sheep, so as to keep all
the particles Of sulphur atioat. The
second preparation consists OF It
pounds of sulphur and five pounds Of
| duicklime, boiled in 10 gallons oil
| water. Tie bath is made to the re-
uuired quantity by mixing one gal
ion of the solution with three gallons
of hot water. The temperature OF the
bath should never fall below ITO de-
gress nor exceed 40 degrees Fahren'
| neat, and the duration of the bath
should be from so to so seconds. The
whole body, except the head, should
be kept under all this time, and the
head dipped as the sheep is put il
and taken out of the bath. An essen
tial point to hs observed is that tbs
sheep shall swim or float in the bath
so that every part OF the body may
come in contact with The mixture. l.
is also lm p0rtant that the dip shoulC
be used at q high temperature. i
has been found by actual experiment
that, whereas, the scab aearus viii
live for some minutes In the mixtrut
when cold, it succumbs in about 4(
seconds when the mixture is at III
degrees Fahrenheit. Many hun
