FASTEST "BLIND" TYPEWRITER.
Miss Darlington, of Boston. Makes
Two Remarkable Records.

Miss CarrinEton, OF Boston. Makes
Two Remarkable Records.
Boston claims the fastest blindfolded
typewriter. She is Miss May Z. Car
rington. a few days ago she wrote
from dictation 1os words of unfamiliar
matter and 144 words of familiar mat
ter. That it is claimed is the record
for blindfold writing. The trial was
made before few friends in the bust
ness Office of the firm by whom Miss
Darlington is employed as secretary
and bookkeeper.
When she had finished it was found
that she had not averaged 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 unlettered key
boards are ordered from the manufac-
turers. In order to use such a machine
one has to learn its keyboard as he
would that of 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
a speed of only so or 60 words minute,
as against her IA. The use of the type
writer is now taught in institutions for
the education of the blind.

EMPEROR ENGINEER.

The German Monarch to Decide on an
Electric TramWay.
To act at one and the same time as
German emperor and king Of Prussia
is no sinecure, says the Pail Mall Ca
zette. In addition to the functions nat
urally pertaining to his exalted position
he has TO solve terrifying number Of
questions that in other countries would
be reserved for the municipal autlhorI-
ties. Thus the question as to the sys-
tenn of electric tramways to be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabinet
for final decision. The plan of the lines
has already been approved, but the sys-
ten of conducting the current has not
been settled. The emperor has there
fore to act, as il were, as imperial en-
gineer in deciding between overhead
wires and underground conductors or
accumulation cars.
As soon as he has pronounced his hoe
volo, sic jubeo, Berlin will be provided
with the largest system of electrical
tramways on the continent. The Ber-
lin Tramway company has already com
pleted its preparations, the lines are
laid and the cars are ready; only the
wires and poles fer conducting the cur
rent have to be procured. Everything,
therefore, will be in full working order
by the summer. The emperor is GER
tainly taking pleaty of time for his de-
clsion, for the plans have been in his
civil cabinet since October, and are still
without bis signature.

The AIfddle-Aged Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use of the Hucixnaxx

Inc Hhuntc-h9ed Man Discovers the
Worldwide Use of the Bucksavv.
"The bucksaw in any mind" said the
midd,e-aged man, according to the
New York Sun, sis 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 a man saving wood with a
bucksaw on the deck of a schooner w.
ing at South street wharf, a stick of
cordwood resting in the sawbuclx, 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. I 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 1 could
scarcely make the bucksaw seem
Ia1nlllar on a saltwater craft, because
it seemed to me so essentially thing Of
the land.
Finally, I did make it seem all right
on the schooner, though, by thinking of
that as 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
ISOLATED with the land; but I couldn't
think of it as being used at sea. But
when came to think it over l knew, Of
course. they must have some way of
saving wood aboard deep-water ships.
and when I came to inquire I learned
that the bucksaw is used afoat just as
IL is ashore; it is piled on a ship a thou
sand miles at sea just as it would be On
a farm"

NO cHILraEM THERE NOW
white House Hns None for the First
Time tn Many Administrations.

1ime an Many Administration
There are no children in the white
house now, says a Washington letter
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. IT is the
first administration since that of Blu
chanan where there have not been chill
dren in the presidents family. Lincoln
had three boys when he came to the
white house, and the Christmas festi-
val was celebrated with enthusiasm in
the good old-fashioned way with a
Santa Claus. Grant had his three bows
and the pretty Nellie to make merry at
Christmas time. Hayes had a complete
domestic household, with romping bows
and a winsome little girl, who has
grown to womanhood and has recently
been spending her honeymoon at the
white house, where she was child.
Garfield and Arthur had children to
celebrate Christmas, and Cleveland in
the last year of his first adninistra-
ton had baby girl to make Christmas
for. Harrison's children were grown
to manhood, but he had his grand
children with him in the white house.
and Baby Mckee became a more cele-
brated character in the child history of
the white house than any since Ted Lin
coin. In Cleveland's second administra-
ton there were two little girls to well
come Santa Claus. There are pictures
of two beautiful babies in Mrs. McKin-
ley's room and many fond remem-
brances of them, but they sleep in the
old graveyard at Canton, where they
were buried many years ago.
No president ever occupied the white
house who was fonder of children than
the present chief magistrate. No mis-
tress of the white house ever had more
loving care for the babies of others than
has Mrs. Mckinley. They both love the
prattle of children and gather the
little ones of their friends about them
when opportunity offers

WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA.

Lacking In Grace.
A description of the Australian belle
reads not unlike that which calumni-
ators are wont to ascribe to the Chi
cage girl. They are said TO be, though
pretty, tall and well formed, not grace
full. Herfeet are seldom small, her hands
rarely beautiful. Moreover, she does net
dress well. Her toilet has none of the
chic of the Parisienne's and little Of
the sobriety of the Englishwoman's.
Overdressed or dowdy, she produces the
impression not only of having little
TASTE, but no artistic sense of the fitness
Of things. Stylish and elegant women
are to be seen more frequently in Mel
bourne than elsewhere.
Nevertheless, dress is dear to the soul
of an Australian, and much is spent
upon it, Down in the lowest social
grades dress plays a most important
part. The Australian hugs the idea Of
equality, and believing in uniformity
of dress as the visible sign thereof,
often sacrifices actual comfort to OBJ
tain fashionable clothing An Aus
tralian family makes brave show on
holidays. There may be bare feet and
rags in the house. but there are cheap
feathers and gloves in the street.

cuRLY-HEADED MEN AS JURORS.
Lawyers Dislike Them Decause They
Are Not Easily Convinced.

Are Not Easily Convinced.
1t is not generally known that there
is a well-lefined prejudice agains;
curly haired men when it comes to
choosing jury to try criminal cases,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The prejudice, when it is manifested,
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection to curly-haired
men, prominent practitioner said:
when / was just starting my legal
mentor incuicated that idea to me. He
said that eurly-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered dar,ings
OF their parents and in their youth had
been so used TO having their own way
that they had come to believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves. In this way the seeds of opno-
sition were sown, and when they grow
older they make point TO disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else on the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as a matter OF
course. They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long. A
curly haired man never gets on jury
when l am defending a man if can see
him IN time"

REMOVING TIE KINKS.


Preach That ~Flesh fn yanffy.v
The coiored ministers OF Washington
are preaching that "fesh is vanity"
from point of view which does not
give their white brethren any trouble,
says a correspondent in the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Displayed in a show
window on one of the principal shop
ping streets is this sign:
Attention, cclored peopleI Blanks
taEe-out-kink will take the kink out Of
your hair ard make it silky, soft. plsable
and beautiful"
Then follow instructions for the
use accompanied by the guarantee of
harmlessness, and by other statements
calculated to encourage the application
of the preparation. But the sign is not
what draws the colored people to the
window and causes them to remain
there with admiring gaze. The bottom
OF the show window is piled high with
black hair in the natural state. There
is enough to make a good beginning
what Blanks take-out-kink" can do.
Switches and bangs and braids and
other forms CT black hair. soft and
glossy and wavy, are shown in strong
contrast with the raw material under
meath. The sight is temptation. Coz
ored pastors Of Washington have dis
covered that the fashion to exper.-
ment with "take-out-kink" is sweeping
through their congregations. They are
denouncing from the pulpit in vigorous
language the wickedness of trying to
change the natural order CT capillary
