Stout-Hearted Women.

The life of the West is one to induce
heroism on the part of both men and
women. the latter are often left alone
for DAYS in the little sod cabins or in
the dugouts that dot the hillsides
along the water courses. They learn
TO be selt-reliant and strong natured.
There are in every settlement events
recorded, amy of which would in Massa-
chusetts, New York or Ohio give
the actor statewide reputation,
but which in the far West
are not thought of seriously. With the
difficulties of outlaws, Indians and the
terrific forces of nature to combat, it is
remarkable that more tragedies do not
occur. But the women of the plains
realized when they came from the old
homes in the East that they were COM
ing to face hardship and danger and the
elements of bravery in their natm Q
came out strongly, and whenever tie
test came there was the hearty and
hardy spirit to meet it. Much as the
men have done to developfthe coun ry,
the women have done more, and the
wives and daughters deserve all posi-
BILE credit. Here and there a decd
stands out in relief, but for the most
part the stories of the heroines are con-
fined to their in mediate neighborhoods
and never reach the outside world

A drama in five acts was produced at
a 'theater in London recently. The
play was not a success. 1t was found
ed on the civil war, dealing with an
episode of the great conflict.
The soldiers uniforms looked like
those of the London letter-carriers and
the picturesque attitudes of the officers
were enhanced by the addition of
emerald-green caps with gold braid
their coats having bright red collars.
The Northern and Southern soldiers
wore the same uniforms, and Gen.
Grant, who is referred to in the pro-
gram as "Commander-in-Ch Chief of the
Second Brigade, United States Army"
was invariably called General
Grawnt."
This is another evidence of the ig-
norance of the English about American
customs and American history.

So 1t was. She moved out of the

And for what seemed five long min

The Seventh Lesson.

ITEMS OF INTEREST. - 1t has been OBJ
served that the pen OF the long
experienced stenographcr follows the
speaker almost automatically. 1t is in
deed true that the reporter can, to a GER
tain extent, take notes while thinking OF
something else. Stories are told of
brilliant young writers taking o nap in
the middle of speech, without losing n
single word that fell from the orator'a
lips. Some stenographcrs interest them,
selves with experiments as to how exten,
sive arithmctical calculations can be
made while writing one hundred words q
minute. Many reports have been taken
entirely in the dark; also by reporters
who were obliged to stand, holding their
notebooks against the wall.
Short hand reporters must be able to
write many thousands of different words,
but nine-tenths of all the writing they do
consists in taking down over and over
again only q few hundred very common
words. Evidently the first requisite to
skill In stcnography is very high degree
OF familiarity with just this class of
words and phrases. The reporter writes
lis, may, will-be, Lean, do-not," hun
dreds OF times to "ocean, extracting,
ca.iber, indigo, delve," etc., once.

q hard word in long hand, but he will
fail almost certainly il he is obliged to
hesitate for an instant before writing one
of these frequent words or phrases.

daily, and require the pupils practice to
be devoted mainly to this class Of words.

small and light.

that time to 1898 on tho original de-

had no interest in the interest neither
