FASTEST "eLIND" TYPEWRITER.
Miss Cnrringtun, cs Boston, Makes
Two EemarIsnbIc RecOrdS.

Miss Cnrrir Gtun, CO Eostcn, Makes
Two Remarkable Records.
Boston Gains the fastest blindfolded
typewriter. She is Miss May z. Car
rington. y few days ago she wrote
from dictation 1OS words of unfamiliar
matter and IA words II familiar mat
ter That it is cIai-,Isd is the record
for blindfold writing. The trial was
made before few frie ads in the bust
ness office Of the firm BY whom Miss
Darlington is employed as secretary
and bookkeeper.
When she had fni.hcd it was found
that she had not av ragged one mistake
in three minutes writing. The method
of touch writing used by Miss Car
rington is becoming more and more
widely used, and many urlcttered key
boards are ordered from the rGanufac-
turers. In order to use such machine
one has to learn its keyboard as he
would that of u piano, and finger ex-
ercises play an important part in prac-
,tice.
To master touch writing does not
take long, as would be imagined, three
or four months being about all that is
required. But to acquire the speed Miss
Darlington possesses is a different
thing. Most touch typewriters' reach
speed of only so or 60 words minute,
as against her 144. The rse of the type
writer is now taught in institutions for
the education of the blind.

ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL.

"He hath made everything beautiful in
His time. e."-Eccles. S:11.
In fillgrce tho sunbeam weaves
A golden setting for the leaves.
And interlacea opal mist
With pearls OF dew and amethyst;
A splash of azure, tints OF green,
With glittering rays and flashing sheen (;
Thus, all around, above, below,
The works of God In beauty glowI
Whom winter comes. with hoarse refrain,
Smell frost and snow on hill and plain;
Each flake unfolds jeweled wing,
A pinion drops Ger everything;
Reclining like a saint at rest,
A robe OF white upon her breast;
Earth feels the chill, but in the snow,
In emblem pure, Gods works we knowi
The oceans waves roll on sublime
From topmost crest to deepest mine,
When pearls. and stars, and living gem,
Adorn its mighty diadem;
With coral groves and temples grand,
The work of an Almighty hand;
Vast cities, where no foot has trod,
Their architect and builder Godl
Devoutly seen, the soul can trace
In natures round the gifts Of grace;
In breded light and mingled dyes,
In flowery meads and starry skies,
Where matchless skill and beauties shine
To prove their Maker all divine!
D Lord, Hume our eyes to see
That all this glory comes from Thee!

rENNYsoN's DsvoTED WIFE.

Trusted Critic.

Trusted Critic.
In 1890, on path in n wood at Som
ersby, Tennyson came unexpectedly
upon a slender, beautiful girl of IT
and impulsiyely said to her: Are you
dryad or an Dread wandering here?"
Six years later he met Emily Sellwood
again, on the occasion of the marriage
of his brother Charles to her younger
sister. says the Atlantic Monthly. The
friendship ripencd into love and in sum-
mer their marriage took place.
OF his wife Tennyson said many years
later: 1.-THE peace of God came into my
life before the altar when l welded
her." OF this marriage the son writes:
"It was she who became my fathers
adviser in literary matters. I am proud
of her intelligence he wrote. With her
he always discussed what he was work
ing at; she transcribed his poem; to
her, and to no one else, referred for
final criticism before publishing.
"She, with her tender, spiritual ma
ture' and instructive nobility of thought
was always by his side, ready, cheer
fuI, courageous, wise and sympathetic
counselor. 1t was she who shielded his
sensitive spirit from the annoyances
and trials of life, answering, for ex-
ample, the innumerable letters ad-
dressed 10 him from all parts of the
world"

USED AFLoAT AND ASHORE,
The Middle-Aged Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use of the Bucksaw.

Worldwide Use of the BucksaV.
"The bucksaw in any mind" said the
niddle-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, 'is indelibly associated
with a sawbuck-the reach between
the two KS half sawed through, where
it had been scored by the saw dropping
down upon it-standing by wood pile
in the back yard. There are chips scat
tered around on the ground, and scraps
Of bark and more or less sawdust. !:
"What brings all this to my mind is
the sight of n man saving wood with q
bucksaw on the deck of a schooner ly-
ing at South street wharf, a stick Of
cordwood resting in the sawbuck, and
the man with his knee on it and saving
away just as he would ashore. AT first
this looked strange; and so it does still
to some extent. / had seen sawbucks
and bucksaws on the decks of canal
boats, where they looked natural
enough. because the canal boat is usual
ly close by the land, where one could
step to or from it easily; but could
| scarcely make the bucksaw seem
f, familiar on a saltwater craft, because
it seemed to me so essentially thing Of
| the land
FINALLY, did make it seem all right
on the schooner, though, by thinking of
that as u vessel making short voyages
and keeping near land, and hauling up,
maybe. in creeks, close by the shore, and
as being in various ways intimately as
sociated with the land; but couldn't
think of it as being used at sea. But
when I came to think it over knew, of
course. they must have some way of
saving wood aboard deep-water ships,
and when l came to inquire 1 learned
that the bucllsaw is used afloat just as
1t is ashore; it is piled on a ship thou
sand miles at sea just as it would be on
farm
