Hero.

Last summer a man in my employ
exhibited an act of presence Of mind and
self control that might well be compared
to the deeds of daring on the field of
BATTLE" remarked John L. Nevins, a
New York contractor. 1.-TWO workmen
were engaged in repairing the lightning
rod Of the steeple of a church. To ac-
complish this somewhat difficult and
dangerous task it had become necessary
for one of the workmen to stand on the
shoulders of his companion. While in
this position a sudden gust of wind
caused him to spill a quantity of molten
lead, which fell on the hand and arm
Of his friend. Notwithstanding the sud-
den and intense pain, the brave man
never finched and had the courage to
remain motionless while the lead burn
ed its way into his flesh. He knew that
a movement of his was liable to precipi-
tate his companion from the dizzy
height into the street below, and he en-
dured the pain rather than risk the life
of his fellow worker. ST. Louis Globe

Government Time Signals.

As the governments time signals are
not generally understood, it may be said
that the United States time ball is drop
ped from the top of a flagstaff on the
dome of the Masonic temple as follows:
The time ball is hoisted to the top of the
staff, $50 feet above the level of the
lake, five minutes before noon, central
standard time, every day Sunday ex-
cepted), remains mast headed five min
utes and is dropped by electricity exact
ly at the instant of noon. Should any
accident occur by which the time ball is
dropped before the exact instant of
noon, it will be hoisted again imme-
diately and left up until five minutes
after moo and then be slowly lowered,
instead of being dropped. Similarly,
should the time ball fail to drop exactly
at the proper instant, it will be kept up
until five minutes after noon and then
slowly lowered .-Chicago Tribune.

THE TYpEWRiTER'S WORK.
Your Wife May Think She Is Only Orna-
mental, but She Is Not.

is81Ithis Dut Sitc ~ -
Few people imagine the amount Of Ia
Dor involved in a days typewriting or
realize the distance the hand travels in
that length of time.
The highest rate Of speed ever attain
ed is 600 words a minute. This is sup
posed to be the result of the most rapid
movements the human hands are capa-
bic Of. The person making this record
maintained this speed for only four 0 n
secutive minutes and has never been able
to exceed that limit.
Assuming Che words averaged six let
tiers apiece, 1900 letters a minute were
written.
It is estimated that to make each let
ter the fingers are raised to a height of
two inches from the keyboard. Two
inches added for the descending move
ment make the fingers travel four inches
before each letter is struck. So this ex-
pert's hand i'll writing these 200 words
travelled 4 800 inches, 400 feet during
the minute in which she wrote the 200
words.
But this is unusual, of course. Very
rapid writing is a speed of rs words a
minute, and this rate is too fast for CON-
fort. Practical work is 10 pages of legal
paper an hour. Each page contains 800
words.
Six hours steady writing can be re-
garded as an entire days work. This is
a speed of so words a minute, and the
practical worker writes during the day
so pages-19, 900 words, or 1O8, 900 let
tiers.
II her fingers travel four inches to
make each letter, during the day they
travel 432, 900 inches.
This provides for the perpendicular
movement only, and it is fair to increase
this distance by one-third to estimate
the distance the hands travel over the
keyboard in a horizontal direction.
The total sum in inches is 576, 900.
This is equivalent to 48, 900 feet, or a
little over nine miles a day.
In a week the hands can cover 54
miles; in a years steady application to
business over 2, 800 miles. -Bookkeeper.

Her Sister.

When Lady Waterford died in 1891,
the sorrow at her loss was very deep
and general. Her life had been one
of love and service, and one instance
especially which followed her death
shows the spirit in which she gave to
the world.
When her effects were distributed,
n man earnestly begged for her old
seal skin jacket. He urged his re-
quest with the utmost warmth, and
declared that he should cherish it all
his life. Then he told the story con
nected with it in his mind.
One day he had been walking by my
lady's donkey-chair, when they found
a tramp, a woman, lying in the ditch
very ill indeed. Lady Waterford go
out of her chair, and made the mar
help her lift the poor old oma into it
Then she took off her own jacket, pu1
it on the sick woman, and walked home
by the side Of the chair, tending anG
comforting her all the way.
But it was not my lady's putting
her jacket on the woman that I cared
about" said the man, but that she
didn't think it was harmed by having
the tramp wear it. She wore it her
self afterward as if nothing had hap
peEed."
