The Eleventh Lesso..s

In every respect it will be observed
that the pen and pencil differ from each
other. The question as to the merits Of
each for reporting purposes has been dis
cussed to q considerable extent by mem
bers of the profession. Those reporters
who employed a pencil while learning,
never afterwards giving the pen q fair
trial, of course regard the pencil with
the greater favor. OF those who have
fairly tested both, the majority prefer the
pen. The advantages of each may be
seen from the following comparison.
/. Pen work is permanent; pencil
writing fades out in a few years.
2. Notes taken with q pen are black
and easy to read; pencil wn;ing is hard
on the eyes, and for this one important
reason a pencil should be used as little
as possible.
8. Writing with gold pen, which is
yielding, sensitive instrument, is much
less fatiguing than manipulating PEN
Gil, which is stiff and infexible.
Proper names are so numerous that
vocabulary of them could not well be mem
orized; and this would be unnecessary,

principle, circles, loops and other ad
iunctiYe signs should be employed more
sparingly than when writing common
words.
The learner who always cultivates a
compact style of writing will in the end
be both more rapid aud accurate. BY
compactness of style is meant that the
characters be written not only small, but
closely together. The handwriting of
mostall beginners is too large and sprawl

GEORGIA INDEPENDENCE.
He Knew What to Say, but Didn't Know
Just How to Say II.

Just How to Say It.
From a paper in the Century on
Middle Georgia Rural Life. by
Colonel Richard NJ Johnston. we
quote as follows:
The Middle Georgian, always poll
tician, free often clamorous some
times fighting voter, seldom aspired
to the legislature or other positions
wherein. besides being ridiculous, he
might have proved nuisance. His
social rivalries began In country, COM
rnonly called old field schools
Children of ali conditions attended
them during their formative years
Until few left for college and the
rest for the pillow and the hoe, or for
the working tools of the artisan.
Here began intimacies and affections
that no subsequent differences in
culture or fortune were destined to
change. Indeed the first settlers in
Middle Georgia, although among them
were some as well-born as any who
ever came from the old states. or re-
manned therein. organized society on
a scale # simplest democracy.
In general every neighbor used
to sit at every other neighbours board,
neither feeling that he was imparting
or received favor than such as flow
from the needs and enjoyments of So
cial existence proud of nothing so
much as living in region specially
blessed by heaven. Alexander Il
Stephens used TO recite a speech made
at a dinner in Washington whereat
were gentlemen from several States
among them a Georgian not accus-
toned to such occasions. He had
already become embarrassed by listen
ing - the toasts in compliment of the
other states. and the graceful re-
Spouse made by citizen OF each, and
whom Georgia was announced. vexed
that nobody was there more competent
20 do justice to the theme he rose with
feeling much like anger aud
shouted;

RInr,, ana mhrto ME-

At meeting of the geological so
ciety Mr. Sclater exhibited some
curious black and white mice recently
added to the societv's collection OF
living animals, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. These creatures are the product
of Japanese ingenuity. and show sew
eral curious characteristics Their
black and white color is remarkable
since they appear to be merely a va
riety of the common domestic mouse
They have a habit too. of pursuing
their own tails. This habit is paral-
leled in a remarkable way by tue
lumber" pigeons In tie two cases
it may possibly be due to defect in
brain structure. In any case the
peculiarities are handed down from
parent to offspring in both animals
The mice are usually called spinning

Gambling Among Women.

One would hardly credit statement
of the extent to which New York ladies
gamble, and the large bets which some
of them make would stagger amateurs
in any other part of the country. Po-
ker is the chosen game and is played at
high limit. Saturday Night Poker
Parties" were started last winter and
have been continued this year, with
many new names added to the list of
players. These are facts which none
viii fail to deplore. The effects of
gambling, especially among women,
cannot be other than demoralizing upon
society at large, especially when the
circle which is looked upon as represent
taye of our best people sets an example
which is eagerly followed by their imi-
tators.

Won moItke,s Humor.

There are CLEANS of humor in the
recently published letters of Won
Moltke to members OF his family.
Thus in one of his old-time letters to
his sister Lena, he complains that he
has no appetite just after his meals
that he suffers ali day from utter sleep
lessness and that toward nightfall he
is afflicted with yawning. He tells his
sister that he hopes she does not suf-
fer in these ways New York Sun.

PAIN.

Ths soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door:
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more.
When night Is almost done
And sunrise grows SO near
That we can touch the spaces
Its time 10 smooth the hair
And get the dimples ready,
And wonder we could care
For that old faded midnight
That frightened but an hour.
Pain has an element Of blanki
1t cannot recollect
When it began, or IL there were
A day when it was not,
II has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its part, enlightened to perceive
New periods Of pain.

TOSSED BY a BUFFALO.
The Terrible Experience of an African
Hunter.

The Terrible Experience of an African
I1unter.
In DIR. Pruen's book. 'sThe Arab and
the African" he decribes a nocturnal
adventure of q friend of his who
went out one evening in search of game,
his people being in want of meat.
After hunting for some time he ca1nc in
sight of an antelope. and began stalk
ing 1t. He was an expert hunter, and
succeeded in getting well within range
without attracting the antclopc's at
tcntion; but in doing so he accomplished
feat which, DR.. Prucn thinks. must be
almost unparalleled in the annals of
hunting.
SO cautiously did he approach through
the long grass that he was unnoticed
by buffalo lying in it: and so intent
was he on his expected game, that, IN
known to himself, he stalllcd right up
to the buffalo, and stood just in front of
its head, with his back to il.
In second the aStoniShcd animal
Was on its Icct, and the sound brought
Cole sharply round: but SO close were
the two that, although Coles gun was
at full cock, the buffalo had caught
him on the back before he could fire,
and his gun flew from his hand as he
went flying through the air.
A second and third time did the in
furiatcd animal gore and toss him be-
fore he could realize his position and re-
strain his shouts. Then he lay motion
less and quiet, fciGning death, bu5 cx-
pccting every moment to be tossed
again.
The buffalo stood cycling him for
few minutes, and then. half satisfied
tnat his work was done, trottcd OFF and
stood again to watch it's victim at q
short distance. Then it disappeared in
the jungle, while Coles native boy,
a frightened spectator to what had hap
pcncd. ran to tho house, two miles awSy,
and brought assistance.
