THE SHORTHAND TYPEWRITER.

the letter or character which is mark
ed on the end nearest the operator
When 1t is desired to print any of the
letters on the second line, it can be
done by pressing at the same time one
of the outer keys, which are marked
ICONS line ~ or vows line 2" This
brings forward either the consonants or
vowels. The same is true of line three.
The figures are printed by using the
fingers of the right hand. while press
ing a lever at the left of the head of
the machine. The sixteen keys are so
arranged that they can be operated in
pairs, so that one finger can press down
either one or both keys of each pair.
The machine cannot do accurate spell
ing, nor will the writing do for CORE
spondence, but phonetic spelling can be
done and it is possible at each stroke
to print the greater part of word if
not the whole of 1t. The inventor has
made several of these machines and
placed them for use in business offices.
Those operating them are able to write
100 words minute.
The principal advantage this machine
has Is its speed, and If not accurate
the words are more easily read than If
written in shorthand. 1t can be used
to advantage In taking speeches for the
press and other matter that is turned
into an office just before the paper goes
to press. In this case a good compos-
itor could get UP the matter from its
record. The record is printed ON a mar.
row slip, as shown by the accompany
ing cut. The letters read across the
slip from left to right. Many of the
words are spelled Theoretically, but
their meanings are obvious. The letter
in the illustration translated in Ions
hand runs as follows eff you could
make it convenient to call at the Sur

At a well-known mill, not a hundred

three dozen bags and then get a short

of course, had rest. While sitting,

The engines are built extra heavy, the

operator About three thousand of
these engines are in use in different

They are also made to burn distillate

materially, and where water and fuel
are scarce the saving in these items
quite often enables the property to be

attendant upon operating a steam en-

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Of
female weaknessarc invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinlsham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson has received a report

S, c., with view to ascertalning the
prospects of profitable growth OF the tea
plant In this country should II be de-
Clded to Introduce II here as an Indus

question Is the most important one In
the economics OF this business In this
country. IL estimates the minimum cost
about eight times as much 10 pick one
pound Of tea In South Carolina as that
paid for the same service In Asia, The
profitable production OF leaf, 1t IL point
ed out, depends upon rainfall, or mois-
ture In the soil. In districts favored
with sufficient heat and rain. plants fur
nlsh from fifteen to twenty plckings
yearly. In the South Carolina fields
which were inspected the conservation Of
moisture by draining is enhanced by sys-
tematlc surface cultivation which pre-
Vents the evaporation Of moisture from
the upper stratum OF soil and secures a
gain equivalent to q fall Of from ten to
fifteen inches OF rain.
The report suggests that 1t seems i'm
practicable to compete with the cheap
oriental labor, and while some OF the
processes OF development have been del
egated to machinery, the picking OF the
leaves, requiring discrimination In Sc
lection, has to be done by hand, The
problem has been ingenlously met In this
southern field by establishing u small
colored school where tea picking Is In
Guided In the curriculum and the young
scholars after some instruction prove
good plckers. Only the most delicate
leaves are selected so as to find reader

have been imported from all tea regions,
especially from high attitudes.
A vegetation OF one-third OF the seeds
Is general average, and the loss OF
whole importation Is no novelty. The
most promising variety was brought
from Darjealing, from an elevation up
ward OF 5000 feet, and this combines
hardness with go0d-sized, delicate leaf.
