Tpye-writing as a Business.

The largest type-writing business in the
whole world is in New York, according to
the Tribune, and is conducted by two sis
tiers. The eldest took course in steno-
graphy for her own pleasure. She be-
came so proficient in this art that she be-
came anxious to utilize her knowledge, and
accepted position in well-known law
office. Presently her mother died and the
father became incurably i'll. She then
taught the two younger sisters this art,
and opened school with twelve pupils,
whom she taught every evening after gett-
ing through with her duties down town.
Today this young woman is in partnership
with one sister, has five Offices, one school
and employs from go to G5 stenographers
and type-writers, and owns all Of her
machines. One rule, which they invari-
ably follow, and which has insured their
marvellous success, is that any work prom
ised is delivered at the time stated-if it
takes half of their working force all night
to finish it. For emergency work they
have a reserve force, besides employing
many women to translate legal documents
d dramas in every language spoken-ex-
cepting Gamers monkey-talk, which thus
far has not been demanded. There are
many women riding teachers in New York,
and one of the most successful dentists
there does all the mechanical work, while
her assistants attend to the tooth-pulling in
the office. An entire block of houses was
papered by young woman, who takes the
contract for such work from the largest
builders. The only woman thus far heard
of who earns her living by breaking in and
training horses for the saddle is a beauti-
full Virginian of aristocratic lineage.

A Remarkably Trained Horse.

From the London Standard
An addition has just been made to the
variety show at the Crystal Palace in the
shape of what is described as talking and
thought-reading horse. Mazeppa seems to
be able to do anything but talk, and by
means of her feet and head to answer any
questions put to her, either by her trainer
(Mr. Fl. S. McGuire) or by any of the
audience She first starts counting four
by striking the ground four times, and then
goes through simple examination in ad-
dition, multiplication, and subtraction with
perfect accuracy. After calling for the
of days in week, the number of months,
MIR. McGuire asked how many days in the
week she desired to work, and her vigorous
shake of the head to indicate none caused
considerable amusement. She also adds
up four-line sum, dictated from the audi
torium, and written on black board; tells
the time by different watches, and per-
forms many other remarkable feats, which
bear testimony to the the training powers
of her owner, who was loudly applauded
at the close of the entertainment.

Labor organizations, properly managed,
would result in good to labor and the coun-
try. Without organization and agitation
living wages cannot be secured. But wis
dom does not always control their action.
Hot heads aud the unwise too frequently
lead to extreme action, with bad results to
labor and the cause of fair wages. The
strike of the coal miners seems to be i'll
advised. Those that struck are running
behind financially, and by producing a coal
famine they will cause the wheels of indus
try to cease, thus decreasing the earnings
of labor in other industries. In conflicts
between employees and employers labor al
ways gets the worst of it. If higher wages
are demanded, and in the end obtained, the
loss of wages during the strike more than
Offsets the increase.

A Prodigious Gas Well.

FosToRGA, ONO, May 15.-One of the most
phenomenal gas wells ever known was dis
covered Just west of Fostoris last evening by
the Chicago Oil Company. The well is stu
ated on the James Wallace farm, in Han
cock county. The drill had only reached the
depth of $50 feet, which fact makes the gigan.
tic gasser still more prodigy, since gas or oil
was never known to have been found here at
depth less than from 1000 to 1900 feet. The
drillers heard the roar of gas as the drill
tapped the reservoir and ran for their lives.
The drill was hurled to a height of 100 feet.
The gas at once ignted from the fires Of the
boiler and shot steady flame $50 feet into
the air. Enough is thrown out with the gas
to keep large space surrounding the well as
a lake of fire, and it is impossible TO get closer
than 100 feet to the burning well. The entire
plant of the drillers, including the engine
and boiler, is a total loss. The surrounding
country is boggy, low, wet place, and for
quarter of a mile around the gas is coming
up through the earth with such force that
ground and water are thrown to height of
10 feet or more. The roar of the gas can be
heard for nearly 10 miles. Oil men declare
that nothing like it has ever been known. 1t
is an entirely new territory and is supposed
to be pocket which will soon blow itself
out At its present rate of speed it can never
be brought under control. Its volume goes
above all records.

The first copy of the Baltimore Sun was
issued on Wednesday, May II, 1887, and
Thursday was its 57th anniversary. A
citizen of Westminster on Tuesday found
among his papers, at the bottom of a
drawer copy of the first edition-not a
reprint-that was issued in 1887. 1t was
diminutive little paper, of four columns
to the page, and was launched on the sea
of journalism with some misgiyings, for
the announcement to the public closed with
these words-"The publication of this
paper will be continued for toy one gear at
least, and the publishers hope to receive,
as they will strive to deserve, a liberal sup
port. Its success has been wonderful,
however. sind it was established at an OPP
perfume time and upon business principles.

Sheep Frozen to Death.

FRESNO, CAL, May 1.-THE returns from
the mountains are beginning to come in, and
show that the loss to sheep men on account
of Mondays storm is far greater than at first
stated. At one place four thousand sheep
were found frozen to death in one heap
where they had tried to end shelter among
the trees. The snow was two feet deep on
top of them. There are thousands of sheep
farther back in the mountains, and they can
not be reached on account of snow. There
is hardly 6. possibility that they can be saved
If they were not frozen to death during the
storm, they will die of starvation before the
snow melts.

The Maryland coal miners have not yet
been induced to strike, out of sympathy
with the miners in Pennsylvania. The
wifes and daughters of the Maryland mi
ners met and resolved that if che men
stopped work they would go in the mines
and dig. Good for the women. They
know that hard times, consequent upon
strikes, is severely felt By them in their
households. When men have to econo-
nike they rarely begin with themselves,
but cut of the allowance for the wives and
children.

Remarkable Growth of the Indus
try.

BALTIMORE, Nd. May l5.-The Manufac-
turers' Record of this week will publish a
history of the growth of the eottonseed oil
industry in the South. In 1880 there were 40
cottonseed mills with an aggregate capital OF
So, 500, 900. There are now 300 mills, having
combined capital of about $40, 100000 At
present about 100000 tons of seed are an
nually used by the mills, yielding to the farm
ers about SIS, 100000 year for product
which, until recently, was regarded as waste
material. The total output is about 800. 900
barrels or 6O,OOO,00O gallons of oil, 1000
tons of cottonseed meal, 700, 900 tons of hulis
and 30, 000, 900 pounds of linters, the aggre-
gate value of which will average about $780,
600, 900. The demand for oil is steadily ex-
panding, and, as only about one third of the
total cottonseed crop is now consumed by the
mills, there is practically an unlimited room
for the growth of this bushes. Ten years ago
the hulis were burned by the mills as fuel.
as no other use could be found for them.
Investigations proved that they made excel:
lent fodder, and last year about 400, 900 head
of cattle were fattened for the market on cot
tonseed hnls, while 100000 mileh COWS were
fed on the same material.
