THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.

A Pullman Walters View OF tn, Dsi p
psarancs of the SANDWICHES
A prominent railroad official tells
good story concerning a colored waiter
who is in the employ OF the Pullman
company. according to the Oakland
Times.
The walters are required by the
commissaries to make a given number
OF sandwiches out OF loaf OF bread.
and the rule is strictly enforced. On
a recent run waiter named Brown
cut thirty nine thin sandwiches out OF
loaf and piled them up on a shelf
near window in the buffet The
window had been left open, and while
the train was rounding curve gust
OF wind came and blew ten OF the sand
witches out OF the car Soon the vigilant
commissary came along to see how
the new man was getting along.
.'Do dem suit you, sahp" proudly
inquired Brown, pointing to the sand
wichea
The commissary cast hasty glance
at the pile OF sandwiches near the
window, and sized them up in an in
slant.
How much bread did you use for
that pileP" anxiously inquired the
commissary.
.'Only one loaf sab; you told me to
cut dem thin, and day're as thin as
wafer sah."
The commissary's susp clons were
aroused by this time and he tenderly
lifted the pile OF sandwiches from the
shelf
.I.emme see, !" said the commissary,
counting the sandwiches. there are
only twenty-nine sandwiches here.
Where's the other ten. Brown. Eaten
them, ehP"
The commissary laid the pile down
on the shelf, the train turned around
another curve and out went ten moro
sandwiches through the window.
You see sab, exclaimed Brown.

the wind blows 'em away. Use not

the commissary while he took tho
little book out OF his inside pocket to
mark down the loss.
Brown entered q strong protest and
declared that he would appeal TO j.
p. Garcelon Mt Chicago. general su-
perintendent OF the road. He still
cuts the sandwiches thin. but takes
good care that they don't fly out Of
the windows

A Swagger Cape.

And now the girls are beginning to
grow warm under their winter capes
and to call up visions OF Others that
will cover their pretty shoulders dur
ing the spring.
One seen in New York recently was
fashioned OF pale blue crepe under an
artistically draped outer cape OF
handmade lace. The Medici crepe
collar had narrow finish OF blue ost-
rich feathers. The cape was outlined
with the feather trimming and tied at
the neck with broad pale blue satin
ribbons, the ends reaching to the bot
tom of the gown. Another dainty
cape is Of three graduated capes OF
white India silk, each edged with
white ostrich feathers. The India silk
is embroidered in the feather design,
and long white satin ribbons are tied
in a bow at the neck. A stylish sum
mer and spring cape is the three-quar-
ter length, made Of pale green lady's
cloth and lined with black surah silk.
Worn over the garment is an outer
cape, which reaches just a triile below
the shoulders and is made OF black
lace. The shoulders are high and the
Medici collar is covered with the lace.
Another stylish capc is OF ecru lady's
cloth. with drapery OF ecru lace fall
ing over the shoulders.
A Familiar Type OF Society Woman.
She is % woman Of decided though

and very pronounced theories as to

shoulders, and the hue of her bonnet

ity and blazes away promiscuously in

She is sweet woman many times,

A Word Against Extremes.

A great many people are fond OF
OVERRIDING things. They carry pract-
ices and ideas to extremes, and in
dulge in the use Of superlatives. IN
qualified praise is seldom called for,
neither is unqualified condemnation
desirable for the great poet found
there was good in everything, y The
general use OF extremes is \apt to
arouse suspicion as to sincerity, and
very justly SO. Take, for example,
the use OF mourning paper. Some
people adopt a paper bordered by a
black band fully half an inch in width.
To say nothing about good taste,
which may not be considered under
the circumstances, the use OF such
paper is entirely too conspicuous. 1t
obtrudes your grief upon everybody,
and makes a display OF it. The mat
ter is wholly personal; it is not neces-
sary to proclaim it to the world.
In the wearing OF rings and jewelry.
lavishness Of display is often notice
able. This also is bad form, being a
parade OF mere personal wealth.,
Rings and jewelry are all right ii worn,
in moderation, but true refinement
never INDUCES in excuses OF dress or
ornamentation. 1t is this OVERRIDING
OF thing that leads to difficulties, even
as too much study may weaken your
eyes or destroy your health, thus pre-
venting for time at least further ac-
quirements OF knowledge. In speech
also, superlatives are too often used,
and they serve to awaken distrust
Absolute perfection is indeed rare ard
exaggeration plays great part in
modern life. We think too much OF
our own Importance, or talk too much
of ourselves. We dwell too much up.
on family or society and lend a iicti-
tious value to absolutely empty
things. The use OF superative words
often tends to destroy the impression
that we wish to convey, simply be-
cause we overdo things A light curb,
little thought regarding things ofthis
life, seems to accomplish the end much
better than going to any extreme,
however strongly you may feel.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

Inc Scyenth Lesson.

ITEMS OF INTEREST. - It has been OBJ
served that the pen of the long
experienced stenographer follows the
speaker almost automatically. It IL in
deed true that the reporter can, to GER
tain extent, take notes while thinking of
something else. Stories are told Of
brilliant young writer's taking a nap In
tho middle OF o speech, without losing q
single word that fell from the orators
lips. Some stenographers interest them
selves with experiments as to how extern
sive arlthmetical 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.
Shorthand reporters must be able TO
write many thousands of different words,
but nine-tehths 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 stenography is a very high degree
OF familiarity with Just this class OF
words and phrases. The reporter writes
"is, may, will-bc, Lean, do-not," hun
caliber, indigo, delve," ETC., once.
hard word in long hand, but he will
fail almost certainly II he is obliged to
hesitate for an instant before writing one
of these frequent words or phrases.
Hence the teacher will drill his class
daily, and require the pupils practice to
be devoted mainly to this class of words.
The short vowel signs are made very
small and light.
Mnemonical rhymes,
Kills red rat. Dot does good.
When second place short vowel occurs
between two stems, 1t Is placed by the
second. The rule briefly stated is: End
place long and all first place powels, are
put By the FIRST stem, and all Others by
the second. W. is expressed by small
right angle, and long u by semi-ciycle.
Line B. Proper names are Indicated by q
double underscore, as Mark, line z.
Common words are not usually vocalized.
