A HINT FROM BOSTON.
The Time for Making "a General De-
mand for PermanentIy Good Roads
Has Now Arrived.

People who travel on their wheels for
long distances into the country at this
season frequently find the mud OF con-
siderable depth, even when the dust is
blowing in the city.
The bicycle will not have performed
its first mission until the roads in one
place are just rs good as the roads in
any other place, and the roads at one
time of the year just as good as at any
other time OF the year.
The people VINO live in the country,
until quite recently. had alphabetically
settled down 10 the conclusion that
country roads must, of course. always
be worse than city streets. and worse in
the spring of the year than at any other
season.
But this is a conclusion Of mind that
the advent of the bicycle has disturbed.
There i no reason in the inherent con-
dition Of things that the city should
have any advantage over the country
in the matter OF public thoroughfares;
and il has been often demon etrated that

these blank keyed typewriters are in use
in Boston, and the up to date typewriter
girl must know how to use one if she
hopes to succeed.
If you are an amateur typewriter
yourself, you will appreciate the degree
of skill required to write on this kind
of a machine. The average person sell
dom uses more than four fingers in strik-
ing the keys, while many men and wo-
men who can write at fairly good rate
use only three. Put sheet of paper
over the keyboard and see how many
letters you can locate correctly. Even
skilled operators keep their eyes on the
keyboard fully two-thirds of the time,
but with the touch method the operator
can do almost as good work when blind
folded as with unObstructed eyes. On
single banked machine there are three
rows of letters and one of figures. In
the two middle rows there are just ten
letters each, and the hands are held
poised over these rows so that the fin
gers cover all but the two letters in the
center of the row. By learning the ex-
act position of each letter and figure the
operator can keep track of the position
of her fingers, even though she is not
looking at them.
Miss May Il. Darlington is probably
the most expert operator in Boston. She
uses the new system and not long ago
wrote 1O8 words minute while blind
folded, taking unfamiliar matter. When
it came to writing familiar matter, she
wrote IA words a minute. There are
several operators in Boston who can
take court testimony directly without
using stenographic notes, but none has
as yet surpassed Miss Carrington's rec
ord for speed.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Rumors which were
persistently circulated last night to the
effect that Joseph Letter had closed con-
tracts for the disposal of the greater part
of his vast accumulation of wheat to
New York and Baltimore exporters, who
had placed it in Europe, were positively
denied today by George B. French, who
represents the Letter interests.
An offer to buy 100000 bushels from a
prominent holder at about . cents over
the May price was refused today, the
broker being told that his bid would have
to be about 10 cents over the present May
price to get the wheat, The Letter PEG
