WRITING BY MACHINE
EMPLOYMENT OF TYPEWRITER
YETI ITS INFANCY.
yse Will Increase Until Every Hotel
Will Provide Them for Guests, and All
Business Men Will Use Them Them.
selves, Not Depending Upon Others.

Bicycling was a fad. but typewrltine
is a fact. The typewriter-it, he, oil
she-is in the same class as the tele
phone, telegraph, and linotype. As tc
usefulness and universally, typewrit
ing is in its infancy. Thus far 1t is
used only by those who cannot gel
along without it. The business man
puts in n writing machine as a luxury
and regards 1t as expense. A young
woman who learns to use typewriter
feels called upon to explain that she
may have TO earn her living. and she
can equip herself more quickly in THIS
way than in any other A superln-
tendent or principal who advocates the
introduction of typewriting into the
schools feels obliged to prove that 1t
is due those who may have to earn
living.
The attitude of business men and
school people toward typewriting must
change entirely, and the time for such
change is already here. Where one
writing machine is used now there Will
be ten In use In the near future. The
only trouble up to this time has been
that business men, superintendents, and
principals rarely use the machine per-
sonally and advantageously. The type
writer is a servant, a helper, doing
what the proprietor would have 1t I'M
derstood that he is above doing, where
as the difficulty is that he cannot do 1t.
As Yankee, | venture the guess
that in the not-distant future the ablest
men and women in home and office, In
hotel and train will use the machine.
To-day, away from home, If one wishes
typewriting, he pays dollar an hour
or more for the service, but soon every
first-class hotel will have all the writ
ing machines which their patronage
requires in the writing room and free
TO all guests. Already every tirst-elass
new hotel has long-distance telephone
In each room and man has its use at
any hour of day or night at the same
rate that he would pay If he went out
and sought pay station" In the
same way one will be able to say when
he registers at any first-class hotel, 81
would like a room with writing ma
chine" At first he might have
to pay fifty cents a day extra,
as he does for room with bath
and lavatory appointments, but that
will soon pass away, as the extra
charge for the bath is going. Already
It is appreciated that bath Is as i'm
portant as a washbowl, and so the ne
cessity of the writing machine will be
early acknowledged.
In word, the future of typewriting Is
with the schools. Teach 1t as uni
versally as you teach penmanship, not
for the sake of the girls who are to be
typewriters, but for the greater ad-
vantage of the boys and girls who are
to be the leaders In social, business, and
professional life; not for the purpose
of helping poor girl to be independ-
ent, but for making rich and poor alike
independent. The time has come for a
universal and emphatic demand for the
writing machine in every upper grade
of the grammar school. and in every
high school, academy, seminary, col
lege, and uniyersity.-A. e. Winship, in
Normal Instructor.

ON THEIR SEA LEGS.
Cattle and Horses DO Not Get Fright

ened In Rough Weather.
'Do the horses and cattle get fright
ened and make much disturbance In
rough weather. asked the writer OF
a New York dealer who ships cattle
abroad
BLESS you. no. They've got sea legs
that would put an old salt to shame.
Occasionally horse will lose his bal
lance. but bullock is the greatest bal
ANGER you ever saw. They are knowing
brutes too. You know, we put them
four In a pen. Well. you'll never find
all four standing up or lying down at
one time. They figure the thing out
and decide how they'll get the most
room and most comfort. So two Of
them stand up while two lie down.
When they get tired, they shift the
watch.
"The horses like to be talked to when
there's a big sea on and things are
pretty lively. They always like GER
tain men better than others. So do
the cattle. We have one man who can
do anything with them. Every bull
lock and horse on the boat knows him
by the time we've been out two days
He comes In handy when there's an
accident.
ITS mighty seldom that a serious
accident happens nowadays, but once
In awhile horse or a bullock does
get thrown and breaks leg or does
some bad damage. We don't carry
veterinary. The men know as much
about ordinary cattle and horse all
ments as any vet. and If one of the
brutes breaks his leg there's nothing
for 1t but TO kill him. A veterinary
couldn't do anything for him.
"The company charges from So to
$50 head for carrying cattle and
from S27 to $50 head for horses.
When the government inspectors stop
ped overcrowding, they cut down the
carrying capacity of some boats 10
head. That made pretty big hole In
the ships profits in the course Of
year" -Exchange.

Mrs. ]. w. Morgan, of Denver. That
all happened away back in the year
1853, but Mrs. Morgan remembers the
little girl very well indeed, because"
she says, Ida was very quiet and dill

Mrs. Morgan was then Miss Spiker,
and was the first teacher employed In
what were then called the union
schools. In Canton~there had been
great opposition to the introduction of
the graded schools, but Mr.. Saxton,
whose daughter was to be Presidents
wife, was n staunch supporter of them,
and so firmly did he believe in the pub
lie school that just as soon as his little
daughter was old enough she was sent
to the primary school of which Miss
spiker had charge.
"Ida's father was a wealthy citizen OF
Canton and she was a very bright and
attractive child" said Mrs. Morgan
