Chinese Typewriter.

The Rev. D. 2. Sheffield, president of
the Tnng-Cho College. an American
missionary in China, has invented a
typewriter for Chinese characters. In
the Chinese language each word has
separate ideograph. There are $4,000
of these. In common use 1000 words
will answer. Mr.. Shehield's writer
consists OF large wheel on whose un-
der side the letter stamps project,
while hammer from below drives the
paper up against them. The wheel is
revolyed with the left hand. while the
right hand operates pointer that in
dicates where the desired letter Is.
Typewriting Chinese is slow work, but
1t isn't SO slow as writing out the char
acters one at time. with from FIVE to
twenty-five brush strokes In each one.
Another American genius in Stamford
is at work upon Japanese typewriter
to print 5000 characters. The system
is somewhat similar to that of DR..
Shenield.

How Millet's Model Lives In Her Peas
ant Cottage st Barbixou


ant Cottage st Barb,ron.
Barbizon, little village in the
midst of the forest OF Fontainebleau,
short dis ance from Paris, has be-
come goal OF pilgrimage for many
admirers of Millet's work, and partic-
ularly for those who know that the
woman who suggested to the great
painter bis famous picture OF The
Ange:us" still lives there in q little
cottage stones throw from where
she va born. Mere Adele's home Is
a sslai. .ine-clad cottage. In which she
lives frugal but comfortable life,
troubled only by the overinQuisitive
tourists and by her rheumatism. She
must have been an attractive woman
once. for even now, although she has
witnessed the passing OF more than
threescore years and ten, there are
traces of former beauty in her
wrinkled face.
Mere Adele is a lady. though she has
worn her fingers blunt BY toll. and her
form is bent under the burdens she has
had to bear. When she looks at you
her smile rs like benediction. and the
beautiful things OF earth are not lost
upon her. Her manner Is cheerful as
one who feels she has not lived In vain
II questioned closely she will tell you
OF the day when the great artist came
through the dense forest with his wife
and children. leaving behind him the
gay city OF Paris with Its schools Of
painting and its models. She knows q
great deal OF the very hard days which
followed for Jean Francois Millet-
the toll. the anxiety. the disappoint-
ments. She nursed his fve children
and did the little field work in the
garden adjoining the cottage. When
be saw his nurse-girl, Adele, and her
father reyerently bowing their heads
In prayer at the ringing Of the Angelus
he conceived the picture which, II not
his best work. is yet the best known.
and the one most appreciated by the
people. Mere Adele calls herself a
child OF God. She looks It in the
painting, and she lives 1t every day in
her humble cottage.-Edward A. Stein

Maine. in Germany. Jewish banker.
Of limited means. but good reputation.
named Moses -Rothschild. When the
French army invaded Germany. the
Prince of Hesse Cassel was obliged to
ny from his dominions. As he passed
through Frankfort he requested Moses
Rothschild to take charge Of large
sum of money and some valuable jew
els. which he feared might otherwise
fall into the hands of the enemy. The
Jew would have declined SO great
charge. but the prince was SO much
at loss for the means Of saving his
property. that Moses at length con-
sented. He declined, however. giving
a receipt for 1t, as In such dangerous
circumstances be could not be answer
able for its being safely restored. The
money and Jewels. to the value OF sew
eral hundred thousand pounds. were
conveyed to Frankfort: and just as
the French entered the town. Mr..
Rothschild had succeeded In burying
the treasure in a corner Of his garden.
He made no attempt to conceal his
own property. which amounted only to
six thousand pounds. The French ac-
cordingly took this. without suspect
ing that he had any larger sum In
his possession. Had he. on the con-
trary, pretended to have no money,
they would have certainly searched,
as they did in many other cases. and
might have found and taken the
Rothschild dug up the princes money.
and began to make use OF a small
portion OF 1t. He now thrived in his
business. and soon gained much wealth
OF his own. A few years after. when
peace came, the Prince Of Hesse Cas-
sci returned to his dominions. He was
almost afraid to call on the Frankfort
banker. for he readily reflected that,
II the French had not got the money
and jewels. Moses might pretend they
had. and thus keep all to himself. To
his great astonishment, Mr.. Rothsehild
informed him that the whole of the
property was safe. and now ready to
be returned. with per cent interest
on the money The banker at the
same time related by what means he
had saved 1t, and apologized for break
ing upon the money. BY representing
that. to save 1t, he had had to sacrifice
all his own. The prince was SO i'm
pressed by the fidelity Of Mr.. Roths-
child under his great trust, that he al
lowed the money to remain in his
hands as a small rate Of interest. TIC
mark. also. his gratitude. he recon
mended the Jew to various European
sovereisns as money-lender. Moses
was consequently employed in several
great transactions for raising loans, by
which he realized vast profit. In
time he became immensely rich. and
put his three sons into the same kind
of business in the three chief capitals
Of Europe-London, Paris and Vienna
All OF them prospered. They became
the wealthiest private men whom the
world has ever known. He who lived
in London. left at his death 335. .000. 900
