sloxenlx Txnawriting.

The people who are expert operators
on the typewriting machines usually
do their work so rapidly that they
write in full the words which the
writer by the old pen and ink method
expresses by signs and abbreviations,
but it seems that even the machines
must now resort to authorizations in
order to turn out the work as rapidly
as it is required.
A letter received recently from the
Transvaal shows that even in that far
away country the typewriter works
under high pressure. The sheet Is
thickly sprinkled With diagonal dashes
and disconnected letters. which at the
first glance give it the appearance of
having served the operator as a prae-
tice sheet. But closer inspection
shows that the dashes and letters are
labor saving authorizations.
"rThus: " man W went to house
found locked"
Gone o leading citizens appeared
{. defence" !
"He took hold o mans hand W
his" etc.
The people who write letters in this
way may save q little time, but the
letters are samples of sloyenliness
which will probably make the method
unpopular. New York Tribune.

LIVING IN FRANCE
1t Does Not Come Up to Our Americas
Idees of Comfort.

1t Does Not Come Up to Our AmerScsn
ideas of Comfort.
We exaggerate in our minds the luz
ury of life on the continent. No hotel
there equals any OF the 1rst-class ho-
tells in our great cities. The first thing
to disappoint US is the lift-what we
deliberately call the elevator. 1t Is a
poor piece of machinery abroad, always
stopping and always out Of order, says
Harper's Bazaar. In the best hotel in
Paris, the Continental, one gets lux
ury, comfort and even splendor, but
never ones cards or notes. There Is
a fatal gulf for these. One Is a num-
Der, not an individuality. The table Is,
however, very luxurious. It Is a clean
and well-ordered caravansary. AS for
the comfort Of warmth in winter, they
do not know the meaning Of the word.
We are justly accused of exaggerating
the heat Of our rooms in America; the
furnace is denounced; but after freez-
ing to death in Paris, one Of the cold
est Of cities, very far north. cursed
with an abominable winter climate.
returns willingly to the heated
rooms of America. We exaggerate the
excellence of the French bed. There
is no such thing in France as that com-
Portable, broad, low thing which we
call a French bed. A high, hard, mar
row shelf Is the apology for it. We *
aggerate u comforts by having gas
in our sleeping-rooms, and hot and
cold water in our stationary washbowls
and bathrooms. They never exagger-
ate comfort in France. You have as
many candles as you will pay for, and
no bath, unless you order it, when men.
laboriously bring you a tub filled with
hot and cold water, and take 1t away
after you have bathed. We exaggerate
very much the supposed good living in
France. To go to a hotel in Paris to
live we must expect out of the season
very little good food, very little that
is sustaining and nourishing. 1t is
"all sauce" There are no good joints
of mutton, nc good American desserts.
There is an especial discomfort to
the sick, who never get good toast,
good custard, good tapioca pudding nor
oysters that they like.

Too Much Faith in a Dog.

It is not always safe to put too
much trust in a dog. An Ellsworth
man had a highly priced dog, and
when a neighbor presented a bill for
hens which he claimed had been
killed by the brute the dog owner
wal grieved and positively refused to
believe the charge or pay for the hens.
A few days later the Ellsworth man
was driving by the farm where the
hens had been killed. The dog was
with him in the carriage. He drove
into the farmers yard to prove to him
that his dog was not guilty. "Let
out your hens,' he said, ''and TIL call
the dog out of the carriage to prove
that he will not kill the hens" It
was done. Before the dog could be
stopped he had killed four. The owner
Of the dog, who never dishonors a
just bill, pulled ont his wallet and
settled for six ns.-Bangor Me-.

AA9h2bO N
One of the houses on my route is
the home of a travelling man who
spends about half his time out Of
town, said a New Orleans letter-car-
rier to a Times-Democrat reporter.
When he goes on a trip he and his wife
exchange a postal card every day, reg
ular as the clock. The lady always
gives me her cards to mail, and /
couldn't help noticing that both they
and the ones she received were always
perfectly blank. All they ever con
tanned was the address, and those that
came to the wife had even that printed
instead Of written. l confess the thing
made me curious, and / thought up all
kinds Of theories-sympathetic ink, Sc
cret marks on the edges and a lot of
other nonsense for which I never dis
covered any evidence. I happened to
know the drummer pretty well, and,
meeting him day, I couldn't resist
asking him about the blank cards. $50
you've been trying to read 'em, have
you.?" he said, laughing. I expected
that, and took 1t good-naturedly. Then
he explained. my wife and I are nat
urally poor letter WRITER'S" he said,
''but we want to hear from each other
every day, so as to know that nothing
has gone wrong. We used to write
like other folks, but 1t was a hard job,
and one evening we got to looking
over some Of our old letters, and they
seemed 30 stupid and forced that we
were really ashamed OF ourselves. Then
we thought of this blank card scheme,
and it has worked like a charm. II
means simply that all Is well. Before

others programme and the receipt Of
the cards means that nothing has hap.

RESCUE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
The Brig Motley Brings In q Pitifu
Tale of the Sea.

The Brig Motley Brings In . Pitiful
Tale of the Sea.
"May I never again undergo such
an awful experienced" exclaimed
Captain Charles A. Doll of the brig
Motley, which arrived at New York
from Surinam, Dutch Guiana, re.
Gently, as he told of his inability to
rescue the crew of a wrecked vessel
in a hurricane and of the failure of
his search for them after the storm
had abated.
The Motley sailed from Surinam on
September 16, and had bad weather
throughout the voyage. About 6
o'clock in the evening of October 8,
when in latitude SO and longitude
rs. As. west of Cape Hatteras, the
captain sighted a waterlogged, dis
masted vessel, apparently a bark.
Only the stump of one mast was left,
and tosthat had been nailed an Ameri-
q flag union down.
"Huddled together on the after
deckhouse," said Captain Doll, 'were
eight men. The wind was blowing
with hurricane force, and great waves
were breaking over the wreck and
swirling around the unfortunate
crew. I signalled to them that I
dare not approach them then-of
course no boat could have lived a
minute in the frightful sea-but that
I would stand by all night or until the
storm fell. At this several of the men
threw up their arms in gestures of
despair, and n of them fell upon
his face as though fainting, and would
have been washed overheard had not
some of the others saved him from q
monster wave. It was terribly pitt
full, and our helplessness to aid them
was awful.
"Ihe hurricane constantly increased
in force and the waves ran higher and
higher, and I was forced to run before
the wind to avoid laundering. We ran
about thirty miles, but at $50 o'clock
in the morning the wind abated and
we turned back to search for the
wreck. We cruised around until 4
o'clock in the afternoon but she had
disappeared, and I fear had been
pounded to pieces and sunk by the
mountainous waves. On board our
ship we had as passengers Mrs. Laura
G. Horst, her two daughters and son,
and eyen in the height of the storm il
was with difficulty that we kept the
women below, SO intense was their
anxiety and sympathy for the wrecked
crew, and I believe they would have
been in favor of risking what would
have been certain destruction for our
ship In efforts which would have been
useless to rescue the men.
It is a frightful thing to find your
self helpless to aid fellow-beings on
the brink of death. ! can see those
men clinging to the deekhouse now,
and though Of course I could not see
the expression of their faces, ] car
imagine the terrible despair upor
them as they were driven away by the
gale"
Captain Doll says that the hull Of
the wreck was black, with white deck
houses, and that the vessels name
was on the stern in yellow, but he
| could not decipher it.
