The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built a type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the New
YOsT, which Uses superior to the
difficulties Of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or SO year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 year. And as
to permanent alignment the YOsT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

A friend stands at the door;
| In either tight-closod hand
Hiding rich gifts three hundred and three
score:
J Waiting to strew them daily DER the land
Even as seed the sower.
Each drops he, treads it in, and passes by:
1t cannot be made fruitful till it die.
o Good New Year, we clasp
This warm shut hand of thine,
1Loosing forever, with half sight, half gasp.
That which from ours falls like dead fingers
Irvine:
Ay, whether fierce its grasp
Has been, or gentle, having been, we know
That it was blessed; let the Old Year go.
o New Year, teach us faith
The road of life is hard
When our feet bleed, and scourging winds us
seattle,
Point thou to Him whose visage was more
marred
Than any mans who saith,
Make straight paths for your feet" and to
the oppreSt,
Come ye to Me, and will give you rest"
Yet hang some lamp-like hope
Above this unknown way,
Kind year, to give our spirits freer scope
And our hand strength to work while it is day.
But If that way must slope
Tombward, bring before our fading eyes
The lamp of life, the Hope that never dies.
Comfort our souls with love-
Love of all human kind i;
Love special, close,-in which, like sheltered
dove,
Each weary heart its own safe nest may find
And love that turns above
Adoringly, contented to resign
All loves, if need be, for the Love Divine.
Friend come thou like a friend,
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot comprehend,
Wen hold out patient hands, each in his place,
And trust thee to the end,
knowing thou leadest EDWARDS to those spheres
Where there are neither days, nor months, nor
years.

San Frnnciscn,s Snmsnn.

Edward T. Berry has been a piano
mover in this city continuously the
seventeen years past, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Berry is a big
man, standing six feet, stocking clad,
and weighing 260 pounds. He is
so well proportioned as not to appear
so heavy. He is a native son, having
been born forty-two years ago in Del
Norte County, near where Rouge
River meets with the sea. Del NOrte
was a wilderness then, and Berry
grew up sportsman and an angler;
pursuits which made him strong Of
limb and sound of wind. When a
youth he went in for athletics Some
what, and was the premier wrestler
of Northern California until he was
apprenticed to a tanner and currier.
That trade did not suit him, and he
tried horse training, profession in
which his strength first became no
ticeable. leaning followed, and as
one of it's most lucrative branches
Berry took up the moving Of fine fur
niture. His daily work is to move
from fifteen to twenty pianos up and
down stairs, sometimes several flights.
Berry manages one end Of the piano,
while two men can barely handle the
other. The strong man also takes
the lower end in going up stairways,
often being compelled to sustain the
whole weight Of instruments of the
grand" form, which weigh between
1000 and 1900 pounds. He esti-
mates his daily lifts of dead weight
to be fifty, and the weight lifted each
time to average 1000 pounds. AS
the weights must be sustained for a
length of time, the feat becomes the
more remarkable. That so many
years Of service at such tasking labor
has not broken him down Berry be-
lieves is due to the fact that he has
always been regular in his habits,
sleeping long hours and refraining
from drinking. He claims nothing
for himself as to strength, but along
Kearney street and among express
men generally he is considered the
Samson Of the profession, Berry has
never tested his strength to the utter
most, but thinks that with suitable
harness he might lift ton and a
half. Without such aids he would
not care to lift more than 1000
pounds, and would avoid such q lift
if possible

Gen. sherman and His Friend.

Gen. Sir John Bisset, X. @. b., an
English soldier who has long enjoyed
the Queens favor and who is known
on this side of the water from his
command of the troops in Canada
was an old-time friend Of the late
Gen. Sherman. Their intimate &C
quaintance grew out of visit Gen.
Sherman made to Gibraltar during
Grants administration at the time
Gen. Bisset was Governor of that
stronghold. At the close of the visit
the hero of the march to the sea gave
his host an American rifle elegantly
mounted in silver, and Sir John on
his part for years thereafter sent
Gen. Sherman a brace of English
pheasants every winter, timing the
departure of the game so that it.
should arrive in New York in season
for old Tecumseh's Christmas dinner.
The last present of the kind reached
New York while Sherman was on his
death bed, too i'll to eat the game,
but he had the birds placed on his
he'd to be looked at and admired.
The letter acknowledging the receipt
If the game, written at the Generals
direction, put a melancholy end to
the long correspondence between the
two friends. Gen. Bisset is now a
handsome old gentleman with silvery
hair EGt soldierly bearing, and is
quartered at Folkestone. New York
World.

How to Shnrnen penciIs.

Inventive genius promises to do
away with all Of those petty annoy
ances which are the most prolific
sources Of profanity. True, the saint
has not yet appeared who is ready to
furnish mankind at small cost with
patent collar button-finder or with
an opera-glass warranted to see
through Glove of a bonnet" designed
on Eiffel Tower lines, but even those
blessings may be hoped for. How
ever, you who in a loud voice or under
thy breath make thyselves undesery-
ing of the gift Of speech over such a
trivial matter as the breaking Off of
the points of the lead pencils at the
most inoppOrtune time, there is no
longer any excuse for thee. Genius
has wiped out that cause of thy I'M
doing. Relief has come in the shape
of pencil which, while not everlast-
ingly pointed, yet gives opportunity
to men to break about as many
points as any reasonable man would
want to break, and still have a point
left to keep on writing with. The
article consists of very light metal
tube, shaped and colOred like an Or
binary lead pencil. In this tube are
inserted about a dozen short and
nicely sharpened pencil points. If
you break off the first you pull it out
and stick it in the top. That forces
the second point down into position.
so you can keep on getting a new
point whenever you break one off by
just pulling out the broken point and
sticking it in the top Of the tube.
"But what do you do when you
have broken off all of the dozen pen
Gil points,"
Why, just throw the whole business
away the little tube with its load
of sharpened pencils costs just about
the same as an ordinary pencil, and
will do just about the same amount
of work. With it, however, you al
ways have command Of sharpened
pencil point, and you never have to
smudge your fingers as you do when
sharpening pencil.
A curious thing about the little
article is that the pencil points are
made in Jersey City, the tubes are
made in Chicago, the two are put
together in Adrian, Mich, and the
production finds its distributing point
in New York City.-N York Times.

The Old Lady.

One so seldom sees a genuine old
lady nowadays. The devices of the
perruquier the complexion special
ties Of the beauty doctor, the dress
aids and skill Of the modern modiste,
all tend to keep the sweet, motherly
creature with snowy hair and old
world cCurtliness of manner in the
background. Frequently one won
ders what sort of memories the little
folks of to-day will have of the
grandmother who looks as young and
dresses as gay as her daughter, and
insists on the children calling her
auntie. In comparison with this eX-
tremely frivolous elderly person we
think of our own grandmother, who
long years ago was laid to rest in the
country burying ground. How sweet
and aristOcratic were the silvery
locks surmOunted by the cap of real
lace. No French twists and false
front pieces at variance with the color
Of her hair for this dear old lady, who
wore gowns becoming to her years,
and whose face, with its wrinkles
unhiddcn or filled in by some time
destroyer of modern invention, looked
out upon the world from eyes long
used to spectacles which she was not
ashamed to wear. There was more
of digniaed beauty in the growing
old of such woman than in the vain
strivings after a vanished youth
which lead so many women to dress
like their own young daughters; to
accept every device toward the arti-
fetal reproduction of faded charms,
and which leaves in the world to-day
so few of those lovely, womanly
women who have no desire to ape the
manners and dress of the young, and
who possess dignity and lovableness
that the pitiful struggler after de-
parted days will never possess
Philadelphia Times.
