cient Order of HIbernians opened the

than have invited wilful disobed!ence

THERE is much of justice in the pro-
test of Monroe street merchants
against the location of = saloon IN the
old Gum block. The leading dry goods
and furnishing houses OF the city are
located n that vicinity. The patrons
are principally women. A saloon IN
the mlds. of such mercantile center
must injure every business house on
the street. There is nothing TO be said
in favor of allowing a saloon to be
located there, and everything to be
said against It.

Polite Photographers.

The knack which French photogra-
piers, and especially those of Paris.
possess in relieving their sitters of
constrained and distressed look while
sitting for their portraits has long been
the envy and perplexity of photogra-
piers of other nations. An American
photographer. on a recent visit to Paris.
took pains to study the means by which
this very desirable result was reached.
He reports that it all lies in a very
simple device, which well illustrates
the nature of the Frenchman.
When a lady, for instance, is sitting
to a photographer for portrait, the
operator does not, in a perfunctory
manner, coldly request her to Look
pleasant now, ma'amw He says to her.
in the most natural and graceful man
ner in the world:
'lt's quite unnecessary to ask madam
to look pleasant; she could not look
otherwisel"
The lady of course acknowledges the
compliment with her most gracious
and highbred smile. "Click" goes the
camera and the picture is obtained. re-
vealing the sitter at her highwater
mark, as it were.-Y Youths Companion.

catches under the holder at the upper edge
of the book, thus making the book perfectly
level The book is held in this position by
the adjuster, which conforms to either side
of the book, whether thick or thin. An
other feature of this arrangement is that
the springs may be so adjusted that they
Operate on books of different weights or
thicknesses. The book when placed upon
the holder is held in place and Open
The typewriter is similar in form and
construction to that in general use. The
movement of the spacing bar moves tie
book under the machine and this move
ment is limited only by the length of the
bars or guides. Thus a typewriter may
sit in front of the machine, and, if such a
thing were possible, write upon a book
twelve feet long without moving his orig.
inal position, the book or paper written
upon moving the entire length. This
movement is attained by means of a coil
spring. The movement of the spacing bar
releases the spring, which is caught again
by ratchet similar to the movement Of
the ordinary typewriting machine. The
adjuster and carrier move on tracks and
have such sensitive bearings that even
with an extremely heavy book or ledger
the work of moving the carriage back TO
start a new line is little greater than that
of an ordinary machine.
The machine is provided with an ad-
justing screw for spacing different lines.
Thus the machine will write on books
having the lines of different widths
and can be adjusted to one-hundredth
of an inch. The surface written upon
mRves under the typewriter and oy
moving the reel, upon which the ink
ribbon is wound, the writing may be
brought in full view. The adjustment of
the carriage is so sensitive that in case a
word is misspelled or a wrong key struck
the machine may be readily and quickly
adjusted, so that by erasure the correct
letter may be inserted. The alignment of
the machine is so delicate that a repetition
of a sentence brings the letters so closely
together in impression that a rewritten
sentence would not be distinguished ex-
cept from the fact of the darkness of the
ink.
Another feature of this machine, which
makes it still more interesting, is that the
operator may use it for ordinary letter
writing He may also use his copybook,
separated from the sheet upon which he :
writing by carbon paper, and thus at the
same time that he writes the letter he will
make copy in the copybook, thereby dc
ing away with all blurring and wetting OF
letters, as in the ordinary manner of copy
ing. The machine, from the fact that the
writing is done upon perfectly level sur
face, allows the type to strike full and fair
at each blow; hence it is possible to use
this machine for manifolding up to twenty
impressions and even more than this when
extremely thin paper is used.

How a Pri-,ner Esoaped.

If we will only rightly use little things
it is surprising how much may some
times be done with them A vizier, hav-
ing offended his royal master, was con-
demned to lifelong Imprisonment in
high tower, and every night his wife
used to come and weep at its foot. 60
home" said the husband, land find a
black beetle, and then bring a bit of
butter and three strings-one of fine silk,
one of stout Irvine, another of whipcord
and a strong rope.
When she came provided with every
thing he told her to put touch of but
ter on the beetles head, tie the silk
thread around him and place him on the
wall of the tower. Deceived by the
smell of butter, which he supposed was
above him, the insect continued to as
cend till he reached the top, and thus
the vizier secured the silk thread By it
he pulled up the Irvine, then the whip
cord, and then a strong rope, by which
he finally escaped. Detroit Free Press,

The Modern Way.

In India they drown a great many of
the girl babies. 1t is a time honored
custom, but not universally approved
from a therapeutic standpoint. In civ
ilized countries they put corsets on the
girl babies, which brings about the same
results, without the shock, which is a
sure concomitant of the Indian method.
Moreover, babies last longer under the
modern system, and it is especially
priced by people who prefer to keep
their girl babies for few brief years.
