Some BLunSers That Make the EN-

pIoyer's Life a Burden.
In some stenographic systems an ar
bitrary sign may stand for one, two,
or even three words. Sometimes the
mistranslations of one of these signs
leads to funny results.
"The deed shocked the nation to the
heart-core,'' was what was said, and
the typewriter evolved, 1.-THE dead
shocked the notion to the hard car"
''The rumor was but transient,
though" was hardly recognizable as
"The hammer was trains end through"
A rear-end collision was evidently in
that girls mind.
AS mamma fed the Jews" was in
geniously tortured by another young
woman into CAS- mamma fed the jays"
Yet she was Sunday school teacher
plays, creeps, and laughs, the in
nocent," crooned the man, one day,
mounting the opening lines of some
projected baby verses. When the
typewriter tapped out "Plays craps
and leaves the innocent" he scanned
her NISdS0 CIOS0Iy.
He said, "The voice of DR.. Jocelyn
was heard calling for assistance" and
it came out ''The vice of Doctor Josh
Lane was hard killing four assist
ants"
When "But she held Jake too dear
ly for that, and so-passed on" was
dictated, and it came out, "But she
held Jacks, two, drawing for that and
so passed, one" would it have been
unjust to credit the girl at the ma
chine with an elementary knowledge
of gambling?
Occasionally a new beast or bird is
discovered by the typewriter, thus:
"The sea-quail was, ETC." the inten-
ton being "the sequel was, ETC." This
was in line with blunder made by
the same girl, who had avowed that
"a gull sunk the schooner" instead of
"a gale.'' On another occasion she
declared that a pair of lovers matched
up a pretty squirrel" instead of their
having patched up petty quarrel,
Having confessed that once upon a
time she had been waitress in a pop
ular restaurant, the reason is clear
why "Foist the males of the dynasty
was clicked out, First, the meals of

made up" but it is fearful fact.
"The president was heard with ac-

the typewriter insisted that he had
said, as she tearfully hunted for her

as the names of liriodendron tulipi-
fera in some publications.
Among the hardwoods, the term
sycamore" as used in English and
American works causes some con
fusion. On this side we use it to
denote the wood of the plane tree,
the platanus occidentalis, or button
wood" of the eastern states. An
acquaintance with the wood and it's
unsuitability for most purposes leads
American students of English text
books to wonder at the many uses
found for it in Eng and. The syca-
more of the English workshops and
markets is, however, either the wood
of the English sycamore, or great
maple, Acer pseudoplatanus, or Of
the American rock maple, Acer sac
charinum, which it greatly resembles
in texture and grain. Except the
figured varieties of "bird's-eye" and
Curly maple, practically the whole
of the hard maple sent from this side
is used in England under the name
of sycamore. A small quantity OF
American sycamore finds it's way to
the English market, but is generally
referred to in works on cabinet4mak-
ing and marquetry as lakewood, ?
from the beautiful markings it exhib-
its when quarter-cut.
Others could be cited, but those
quoted are some of the commoner in
stances where students may be mis-
led. Of course, the merely local
terms are muItitudinous, and DO not
cause confusion to any but beginners
among craftsmen, but when well
known common woods are known by
different names in the great markets
Of the English-speaking world, a very
extensive experience is necessary if
the references in textbooks and
trade magazines are to be understood

ASYLUM FOR INDIANS.

Through an appropriation made by
congress, the American red man has
now an institution to which he may
send his brothers who go insane. The
institution is located at Canton, S. D.,
and is termed the HiaWatha asylum.
Previous to this congressional provis-
! ion insane Indians were regarded n
some instances as evil spirits who
were to be stunned. They were neg
lected by their own people and no pro
vision was made by government instl,
tutions for their reception and main
tenance Since that time, however,
adequate funds have been provided ana
are given all the attention accorded pa
tients at similar institutions for the
white man. The asylum at Canton
is in easy reach of many of the homes
of various Indian tribes. Among the
patients now living there are represen-
tatives of the Pima, Navajo, Shoshoni,
Usage, Mission, Pawnee, Cherokee,
Caddo, Winnebago, Menominee, Chip
pewa, Mexican Apaches and Sioux
from both Dakotas.
Many theories have been advanced
as to the reason for Indians losing
their reason, but most of these have
been proved mere theories, for in the
diagnosis of the various cases which
have come under the resident phv3i
clans notice the causes are much the
same as those which prevail among
other people. Jealousy, grief and over,

THE VISION OF THE MOON AND
The SEA.


The SEA.
Come said the moon to the mighty
sea,
Invincible by man,
Wrecker of ships,
Stormer of cliffs,
Laughter at works of man,
Wearer away or curying shores
Ever since time began,
Ever the chief of jewellers
In the carnival of storm,
Caring naught for the priceless
wealth
Deep down in fathomless depths;
Navies, Christian or heathen-
What odds to the creedless sea?
Come" said the distant, wandering
The storm sea obeyed.
Fawning the food-tide heard that
voice
Soft and distant and still,
No matter how soft or distant,
'T was the voice of a regnant will,
So the tide fawned tremu GUS to the
call,
Casting it's power aside,
Like a faded flower in a lady's bower
After it's hour OF pride.
."Come," said the moon to the fawning
sea-
The fawning sea obeyed.
GO" said the moon to the obedient
sea-
1t waited no other word,
The ebb-tide skunk away forthwith
Soon as the voice was heard.
For above all power and above all
might
Is the one great Power of all,
Wherein all lesser powers are held,
Like grains of sand in { mightyRhand.
CO." said the moon to the obedient
The fawning sea obeyed

the limb above his head, and next he actually saw
a partridge stalk past and wood-mouse dart across
the sunlit space within a yard of the tree-trunk;
but while he gazed, hoping TO have chance for
careful shot at something, the greatest wonder of
all happened
He heard curious, gobbling sound, and half
turning his head startled into perfect bewilder-
ment at seeing five gorgeous and immense birds
solemnly advance and then strut past him few
feet distant, birds tall himself apparently,
and all glittering in panoply of bronze and red!
Now and then he stared in notionless wonder;
they pecked at the ground and gobbled softly, and
it until they had passed out of sight in the
gloom of the deep woods that Eric realized that he
had seen that spectacle, a flock of wild tur-
keys,
Then he rose and dashed hastily after them. and
had the satisfaction of seeing the whole flock take
wing and dart wildly aloft like many sparrows.
1t grand
Eric was too much excited to resume his stand
and went to seek the other hunters, but it was
long time before he came upon them and then his
triumphal shout checked when he observed that
George had actually shot a rabbit and was show
ing it proudly to Edgar. This miracle dwarfed the
spectacle of wild turkeys. George, plainly very much
inflated, pretended that this ordinary feat
but Edgar declared that it was mere accident
for said he, even Indian rarely shoots a rab-
bit with bow.
They almost came to blows over this, and Rover
dIsgusted stole away and not seen again, which
Iact as IISht was now approaching, dampened
Georges ardor and made him rather thoughtful
But over the hasty preparation of supper, which
consisted of fried bacon, eggs, bread and cinnamon
buns the boys soon forgot their little difference.
When they had eaten all they could possibly hold
and the gloom of the wooded mountain stole down
and nearer enveleping the cracking fire with
ever-deepening curtains of cold shadow, shutting
out little by little, the familiar outlines cf every
thing the lean-to began assume most unsatisfy-
ing proportions. 1t certainly seemed very unsafe as
dwelling. Even the roaring fire, which everybody
knows is quite sufficient to scare away even lions
and bears, not to mention ordinary wild beasts
seemed scarcely able to dispel the scene Of in
security that assaulted them.
