Speed I'm shorthand Writing.

'ESpeed is by no means the most
necessary thing in shorthand writing
explained an experienced stenogra.
pher, "but with some teachers 1t il
made the great consideration, often at
the expense of everything else. The
big thing in shorthand ~ legibilty,
for there are many who are unable 90
tell what 1t all means after IL has
grown cold. ! have been stenogra-
pher, depending entirely on IL for my
living, for twenty-five years. All my
experience has proven one thing very
conclusiyely, aud that is that there is
no necessity for any stenographer who
does amanuensis work 10 write over
100 words minutes, and IN ninety
nine cases ont Of 100 no necessity TO
write over 100 words minute. In
deed, know Of at least twenty five
stenographers who are drawing tho
largest kind Of salaries as private sec
retaries who have assured me that
they have never been required TO
average as much as ninety words.
Under these circumstances IL seems
strange that some teachers of stenog-
raphy will excite pupils TO write $50
to 200 words per minute, and en-
deavor TO make them believe that such
a railroad speed is necessity. Such
practice does actual injury. for IL
disccurages many from even learning
a moderate speed. There have been
instances where it may have been
necessary for stenograpbers TO be able
20 write over 200 and more words
minute, and there is legend hanging
about the Senate chamber that Gen
eral Hawley, for ten or twelve min
utes. in speech, once spoke 22j
words a minute. The average speed
OF Senators in speeches does not
reach 10 words, and IN debating let
tiers rarely reaches 100 words. Wash

The Romance Spoiled.

story has been going the rounds
that a secret chamber containing a
skull and crumbiing bones had been
found lin the historic old Virginia
mansion known as Lover Brandon.
The secret chamber was discovered
indeed by Miss Cutie Harrison,
daughter Of the present mistress of
Brandon; but, according to the young
lady herself, as quoted by a Rich
mond correspondent OF the Baltimore
Sun, grUesome remains Of poor hu-
manity alleged TO have been found
existed only in the vivid Imagination
of some romancer. The floor of the
secret closet was covered with the
dust of ages, but was empty of else.
As TO the use 10 which this myste-
rious room was put or its purpose none
of those acquainted with its history
know. 1t was possibly constructed
for the unromantlc but highly practi-
cable purpose of concealing the silver
ware and other valuables of the early
owners of Brandon.

Some DesirAble stAnps.

Nothing in a small way is more
suggestive of the change that has
taken place in the fortune Of war, and
in particular o: the fortune OF the
Orange Free State, than the postage
stamps borne by the latest mail-letters
from Bloemiontein. These stamps
will not improbably be much sought
after by phiktelists. Three varieties
to hand are respectively OF the values
of "half.penny," "een-penny," secs
pence" (sixpencel, and are colored
light orange, heliotrope, and light
blue. All alike bear the figure of
tree, whose symbolic meaning is
accentuated by the word "vriI'
freely above it, being part OF the
legend "Orange Vii Staat." All this
IS familiar enough. What, however,
makes the little colored squares in
teresIing is the evidence they bear Of
the British occupation. Immediately
beneath the "vrij" Of the Taal in
