One American typewriter company
adyertises lone hundred styles Of type
shuttles in twenty-six languages.
Many Of these have nearly the same
characters as English; for instance.
the French, Spanish and Scandinavian
typewriters are like those for English,
with the addition Of certain marks
which are not used in English. The
German, Russian and Greek keyboards
are provided with their distinctive
characters, but in these cases the num-
Der of keys is the same as in the En-
glish typewriters.

The most curious of the foreign
typewriters is that for writing Chinese,
which was invented by an American
missionary. The machine is complex
and far more complete, for written
Chinese contains an almost unlimited
number Of characters; but the ma
chine is intended only for ordinary
business communications, and for that
purpose is sufficient

fact typewriter company explains by
pointing out that although thousands
use the language, few communica tons

Almost the only language in ex.

not been provided is Japanese. 1t is
understood that a Japanese scholar is
at work on a keyboard to supply this
deficiency. There is no reason why
Japanese should not be written ou a

characters in the alphabet. These are

ters, and make what is known as

To Keep Pastry.

Instead of putting away pastry, such
as cheese cakes, jam, tarts, ETC., held
in reserve in a large tin and fetching
out when wanted, it will be found more
convenient to pack about the number
likely to be needed at one time in two
pound biscuit tins. Line the tin with
butter paper covering the pies careful
