The Boston Type Of Woman.

Ihad friend from New York with
me in Boston who was much disap-
pointed man because he did not meet
the Boston girl with glasses, of whom
he had read so much, or the literary
woman dressed in classical gowns.
The fact is, that Boston girls do not
affect eyeglasses any more than do
the girls OF New York or Chicago. Nor
does one meet the literary woman
with tho proverbial classical gown in
either q Boston or Cambridge parlor.
The literary woman OF eccentric dress
or mannerism is as much a "ba,k-
number" in Boston as she is in any
other city. Affection OF superior
knowlege or eccentric pronunciation
forms no more g. part OF Boston lit
erary womAn's conversation than it
does of the New York woman. Her
grammar is, as a rule, always perfect;
her answers are sometimes models OF
evasion, but in this she is not the stl.
perior OF the cultivated women of any
other OF our large cities. The Boston
type Of literary woman is, In tact,
more creature OF the funny para
grapher's imagination than a reality.
She is not distinct in any sense from
her sister in other cities. She is simply
an American gentlewoman, and as such
she is perfection.

USE OF THE HANDS

When Employed In Writing Nearly
Them. go III Il
At the late International Congress
of Hygiene and Demography, in
Section 4, which was concerned with
the hygiene of infancy and school life,
resolution was passed in favor OF
the teaching Of upright penmanship
or vertical writing, on the ground
that spinal curvature and short sight
are caused by the faulty position OF
the youthful student, which is necessi-
tated by slope OF the letters. We can
all OF us remember the trouble OF
learning to write, and the mental and
physical toll which the making of our
first pothooks and hangers involved.
The number of muscles put in action
when a person is writing is prodigious,
and it is probable that in beginners
every muscle of the body must yield
it's assent before the graphic symbols
trickle from the pen.
The fingers, wrist, elbow and
shoulder must all be held steady. The
spine must be rigid and fixed below as
we'll as above. The pelvis must be
firm, and to this end the child often
gets a support by it's feet from the
legs of the chair. The thorax is more
or less rigid, and its movements are
determined more by the work OF the
hand than the respiratory needs.
Lastly, the knit brows and protrudine
tongue are unconscious muscular acts
which serve to mark the effort, both
of body and mind, which: the child
undergoes when learning to write. It
is notorious that in writing our in
dividuality asserts itself in spite of
the pedagogue. We are taught certain
rules for sitting at the desk and hold
ing the pen, which we ultimately learn
to neglect, and finally write in q
fashion OF our own.
The true remedy for the evils pro-
duced by learning to write seems to
US to be to teach the child to use both
hands, and to practice alternately
with either hand. Vertical writing
lends itself more readily to ambidex-
terity than doe< slopipg writing, and
there can be nc doubt that clerk
who could write with equal facility
with either hand, and could rest one
side of the body while the other was
working, would be little liable to
writer's cramp and similar troubles.
Seeing how enormous is the muscular
effort involved in giving the hand
sufficient steadiness, and that the
brain flag is scarcely less than the
muscle fag, it goes without saying that
writing lessons should at first be Of
very short duration. Ten minutes
with each hand ought to amply suffice.

ing was pathetic in the extreme, one to
excite feeling Of pity in the most cal
loused heart. The wisdom of the law
and the charity of the state in thus pro-
viding for their children's welfare has
no merit in the eyes of these bereft par

inhuman persecution. And in sympa-
thy it is easy to excuse them for taking
this view of the matter, hindered by
their feelings, as is but natural, from
looking at it in more reasonable light.

FIRE i PROTECTION.
THE QUESTION CONSIDERED IN
T. MASS MEETING. =.

Citizens are Aroused to the Need of
the Hour. Propose to Have Protec-
tion as Good as can be Afforded.
Volunteer Company to be Organized
At the meeting Of the village council
Monday evening the question of fire pro-
lection was brought up. After some
discussion it was decided to refer the
matter to Il meeting of the citizens, to
be called for that purpose. Pursuant to
this action mass meetlng was held at
Bramer's hail Wednesday evening at s
O'Clock.
The meeting was we'll attended. Gen.
Pope was chosen chairman and e. H.
Carhart secretary. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and various sug-
gestions were offered as to the fire pro-
lection system that might be most prac-
tical for the village under present con-
ditions. None Of the speakers professed
any such superior knowledge as to war;
rant the unqualified recommendation of
any particular plan.
There was evinced an earnest desire,
however, for the best solution of this
question with view of then providing,
without unnecessary delay, the best fire
protection system that the village can
afford. It was with this feeling that the
chairman was instructed to appoint a
committe of five to investigate the mat.
ter and report to mass meeting to be
called by such committee for that pur-
pose. The chair appointed the follow.
ing committee: G. j. johnson, J. L.
Lundin, Andrew Larson, Fred Bramer
and Chris Murphy.
G. H. Carhart, Samuel Bally and J. L
Lundin were appointed as committee
to organize volunteer fire company and
report the result of its work, when com
pleted, to the village council. The plan
is to supply this company with buckets
ladders and such other utensils as car
be most effectively used under existing
conditions.
! And it has been suggested that the
school board may cooperate with thif
movement to the extent Of providing
the school house with a bell to be used
also for fire alarm purposes.
This meeting accomplished all that
could be expected of 1t. It is another
step forward IN local progress.

PRINCE AND FLoWRR-sELLRR.

Anecdote Of the Father Of the Pros
ont Emperor Of Germany.
A pretty story of the late Emperor
Frederick il told in one of the German
papers. Some years ago, shortly be-
fore the death of the old Emperor of
Germany, tall, handsome gentleman
Jumped into q third class carriage OF
. local railway at Berlin just as tho
train was leaving the station. An old
fower-seller with a basketful of newly
cut hyacinths was the only other oc-
cupant Of tho compartment. He
asked tho old dame to sell him q
bunch, and Modified by his suave
manner, she chose the freshest and
largest and handed it to him. Its
price was q penny, but as the gentle
man had no coppers and the old
woman no change, not having sold
any OF her goods yet, she was paid
with mark piece which, she said at
once, was thing that had never been
heard of before in q third class rail-
way carriage.
Presently the stranger and the
flower girl were in deep conversation,
and it turned out that the poor wom-
an was the only bread-winner of the
family of four. Her son was crippled,
her granddaughter little schoolgirl,
and her husband had for some months
been out of work, since a new railroad
official had dismissed him as being too
old to do much work. The stranger
then suggested that she should apply,
on her husbands behalf, to the rail
road authorities.
'That is no good whatever" she re-
piled as she wiped her tears with her
apron. "If you haven't the 'o:s for
your cousin nowadays you can't get
anybody to listen to you" '"rhen

on. "Alasl" she sighed, ''if the old
gentleman was allowed to see the Pc
titions that are sent it might do some
good, but he does not get to know

said, "he might do that" and she
would tell him so as soon as she had

dame had bundled out her basket and

Cd and cheered. "What' E up?" she
