BEING HEARD.


Redding Free Press: Grove L. John
son of Sacramento is at least making
himself heard in Congress. In a recent
speech he scored the majority for its
do-nothing policy unworthy of the
party or its history. He believed in
giving the people substantial fruits
from the tree of Republicanism. John
son made good points, and we wish to
call special attention to his remarks
relative to the policy of certain Repub-
lican Senators which are just right at
this time. He said: 81 do not believe
in the policy of certain United States
senators who have made the cause of
silver a stink even in the nostrils of
its friends. / do not believe in the
motto of the old Roman who ended
every speech by saying Carthage must
be destroyed l do not believe it is
right or proper to stick a silver amend
ment upon every bill. No man who
is real friend of silver will act as some
men have acted In the Senate. AS
friend of silver I repudiate such con-
duct. I am in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. But I do not
want to be walked up in the dead hours
of the night and called to caucus in
order to put a free silver amendment
upon every bill that is brought before
the House of Representatives-and no
true friend of silver does

VERTICAL WRITING.
Why II Is Easier Than the Sloping
Method.

The style of writing now known as the
vertical originated as a system in Europe
And strange to say 1t was the produce of
hyGienic Father than pedagogical investi-
CATION. PLY ysicians seeking the causes
of the increasing prevalence of defective
sight and spinal troubles, traced them to
sloping writing. Then followed expert.
ments that led TO the vertical system.
1t WIS found that business men, noted
for their rapid and legible writing, had
been forced to acquire hand very differ
ent from that taught in schools. They
held their pens differently, and assumed
a position at their desks other than that
which they had been taught. A study
of the best specimensFof these business
hands showed that the writer's had gone
back to the simple round, Roman like
characters, which many teachers cRuled
as natural to young children Tn ese
business men sat Immediately in front
OF their desks, their hands taking the
most natural position. On these facts
the system of vertical writing was based
1t has spread through England and Can
ada. And is required of all applicants for
positions under the British government.
From Canada it came to the United States
and is now employed to some degree i'll
the put lie scheuis Of many Of tie larger
cities of the Northern, Eastern and South
ern States. In the New York and Boston
public schools. the privilege of choosing
between several textbooks and systems
selected by the board of commissioners
Is allowed the principal of each school.
AS result, both the sloping and verti-
cal systems are taughtin the public schools
OF these cities Though majority Of the
principals and teachers, after fair triaI,
| favor the vertical. They claim that 4t is
the easiest to read, the easiest to write,
and the easiest to learn. That it admits Of
the most hygienic position, the most
natural movement and the greatest rapid
ity. The position required is with the
body straight before the desk, and the
copy set squarely in front OF the writer
Both hands rest on the desk, and the pen is
held SO that both points Of the nib are
used.
Tie movement is of the fingers and not
Of the arm as In the oblique system. Hence
it's asserted that the effort is more natural
and less fatiguing. 1t is also claimed that
it is helped by the study and practice of
shorthand and drawing, the position and
manner Of holding the pen being the same.

yields its fragrant altar or otto to the
villagers of Turkey and the peasant pro-
prietors OF Grasse, Cannes, Nice and the
Valois in no niggardly quantity. Yet the
true otto does not satisfy the needs of the
toilet. Pure altar OF roses is Of extreme
rarity, and is worth its weight in gold, the
rose altar of commerce being largely
adulterated with sandal or with otto
of rose geranium, which is largely grown
for the purpose in France and Turkey. The
characteristic rose scent is shared by
