Under this motto, Mrs. Lena a.

school OF shorthand ut 734 Fine Arts

Of Mrs. White have doubted her abil.

they have come to the school ana have

simple characters, which represent all

voice, and twelve short rules. There

Mrs. White has never failed TO make
competent sterographers In thirty days
Of those who have been unable to mas
ter other systems.
Mrs. White Is u lady of culture. and
possesses many and varied accom-.
plIshments. She has lived all her life
In Chicago and Is proud of being u
Chicagoan. She began her studies of
shorthand NJ Il very early age, and
while yet but Il mere child WAS pro-
tclent In every system Of the old
school of stenOgraphy.
Inspired hy the success OF Il brother,
who was Il famous sien1grnpher, Fhe
herself began the study and also be-
gan searching for something better
than the systems then eNtant. Finding
nothing really practical In Shorthand
ms 1t was then taught, necessity com.
PEELED her To depart from the old paths.
| After continuous and earnest reflection,
she decided thnt shorthand ms accept.
ell ana understood at that date had to

Her idea was to harness the human
| voice She has represented the TWEEN
ty-tiye artlculations by twenty-five
most simple characters and the arcos-
sorles to these come under the heading
of twelve short rules.
These rules, together with the alfic-
ulatOns of the voice, comprise Mrs.
Whites entire shorthand system, which
can be memorized In one hour by any
one of average intelligence, while, as
before stated, high degree of pro-
ticiency IL attained within from thirty
to sixty days. AS facts speak louder
| than words, the success of the voice
shorthand system Is best attested by
the fact that 1900 graduates OF Mrs.
Whites school are now in good paying
positions In Chicago.

After all that is claimed for hcrcdIty

generally admitted that man pretty

1t can be as truly said that he also

conclusion that no man has a good

TEN has resulted in very well cooked

variety. but the space for the mess
tables Is so small tina; t.e men have
TO sit very close together and all their
food is placed on the table before mess
call is sounded This detracts from
the neatness which could be obtained
by more roomy mess quarters. The
extremely large batteries now being
placed ON shipboard necessitate larger
compliments on battleshps and cruis-
ers. while large amounts of auxiliary
ma chinery take up a great deal of deck
space.

Ghosts With No Originality.

When you have read one of these
stories you have read them all. AL
though the behavior of ghosts may ap-
pear eccentric when judged by the
standard of conduct prevailing among
the living. their habits are in fact,
most regular, they seem to possess the
little character of originality, and prob
ably their ideas are very limited. Some
of them walk along the passage or up
the stairs; others knock on the walls
or furniture, ring bells, slam doors or
break crockery; now and then you
come across one who shrieks; and
there seem to be a few specimens who
appear land disappear). But their fac
ulties do not go beyond this. A very
remarkable proof of their limitations
or their slavish adherence to tradition,
is that, though / have before me at

chronicle the movements of such unin-
teresting creatures, / cannot under
