What a Stenog7apher Can Do.

1.-THE Possibilities of Stenography"
is the title of an inspiring article for
girls in the New Idea Woman's Maya
zine. for December. The writer speaks
of this work as being 'splendidly elias
tic" holding out prospect to young
girls, and to girls not SO young, of
mounting step by step from junior po-
sitions to secretaryships, managerships,
editorships and the higher professions.
She tells of the young women whose
stenography has taken them travelling
to the four quarters of the globe or
riding through college ON a typewrit-
er." "a knowledge of stenography, "
she says, in closing, Stands to girl
somewhat as well-invested sum of
money does to the investor. She can
use the interest at any time to help her
over difficult situation. When she
needs a few dollars extra, she can draw
on it, even after the necessity of earn
ing her daily bread as a stenographer
has been eliminated. In short, if there
is any one calling today followed by
women that offers as many chances for
getting along as does stenography,
close thinking on the subject for sever
al days has failed to discover it. -

The Companion as
a Ghristm as Gift


Can you think of gift more certain
to be acceptable than a years sub
scription to The Youths Companion?
Is there anyone, young or old, who,
having once had the paper in his hands
and looked through it, did not wish to
possess it for his very own? 1t is a
gift which, far from losing its fresh
ness as Christmas recedes into the past,
grows more delightful, more necessary
to ones enjoyment week by week.
The boy likes it, for it reflects in its
pages every boyish taste and every fine
boyish aspiration. The father likes it,
not only for its fiction but for its fund
of information of the practical sort.
The girl likes it for the stories, anec-
dotes, sketches and editorial articles
printed in each number especially for
her. The mother likes it for its stories
of domestic life and family affection,
for its children's page and for its med
ical article.
On receipt of SITS, the yearly sub
scription price, the publishers send to
the new subscriber all the remaining is
sues of The Companion for 1905 and the
"Minutemen" Calendar for 1906, litho-
graphed in twelve colors and gold.
Full illustrated Announcement of the
new volume for 1906 will be sent with
sample copies of the paper to any sd-
dress free.

Sixth Sense in Birds.

From the New Century Path,
In the animal kingdom the birds seem to
BE really the class most highly favored by
nature Though they are not placed near
the summit of the line of evolution, their
ability to fly marks them off as having
some advantages over nearly all the mann
malta Their mysterious power of changing
their polarity or weight. in order to dive
in water OF soar in air, has been often
discussed. and the almost incredible We
locity of their motion when migrating,
sometimes amounting to four miles a min
ute for vast distances, has no parallel
among other animals.
And now a series of careful trials with
carrier pigeons are reported from France.
showing, apparently without doubt, their
possession of a highly developed sense of
direction. 1t was supposed that homing
pigeons depended upon sight to find their
way, but these new experiments have been
conducted between Ceremes and Roam
in the darkness of night. In twenty min
utes the lrst bird, despatched at 10 p. M.
reached it's roost. a distance of seventeen
miles being traversed Half of the num-
Der arrived before midnight and the re-
mainder followed in a few hours.

CATTLE KILLING IN CUBA.
Government Got Very Small Share Of
the Tax.

Its a pretty cold deal handed out to
General Brooke, that decision mulcting
him for quarter of a million damages
for quashing the cattle killing monopoly
of the Countess OReilly down in Havana,
said a government official who knows a
good deal about Cuba to a Star man yes
terday. "Of course, Judge Holt is very
estimable and erudite person, and he proc
ably has the law in the case all right
But when one was In the island before
and during the war and saw how That
cattle killing monopoly worked in prac-
ticc. it seems like good deal Of money
to assess the value of cattle klilifS
monopoly at $3.50, 900 even if it was for the
capital of the island.
There used to be a regular govern
ment tax of 81 head on all cattle slaugh-
tered, and that applied to all the planta-
tons and other small places in Cuba, but
did the government get anything approx
mating the tax out of it? Well, hardly. l
was stopping at big ranch near Matan-
Zas just before the war, and the cattle
inspector came around on one of his peri
odical visits. He inquired how many cat

quarter. 1 forget which, and the proprietor,
who was an intimate friend of mine. gave
him a drink and told him six. The in
Spector pocketod the $24 of which L fnuch
doubt if the government ever saw one, and
loped away on his broncho to trouble the
ranch no more for months to come. Mean
time the cattle killing went on merrily,
and / guess steers were killed at the rate
of fifty month as long as l was there.
The same sort of grating was happening
all over the island. The inspect r was
that much richer so was the ranch owner,
and the government of Spain, rs 1SIai,
held the bag. Nobody, native or foreign,
cared whether Alphonso ever got any reve-
rueS out of the island, and the :i.iy Won
der to me was that the various monopolles
ever yielded the government anything.
There was much the same sort of q
case at a big sugar ranch where l was
sta wing for a time. l noticed a lot of ma
chinery had been shipped down to the GUS
tom house near by and the custom in
spector came up to interview my friend
about the duty. The duty amounted to
about 5000. and the Insurgents were
burning mills pretty freely in That region
not pay the duty, but ship the machinery
back to New York. The customs officer
said he guessed he knew a better way of
doing things than that, and for Il consid-
Grafton of $50 he sent the new machinery

packed it in the new cases and shipped
that bacl, to New York. Thereby the

No China Made in Dresden.
From the Scientific American.


To those connoisseurs who evince great
pride in their collections of Dresden china
1t will come as great shock to learn that
today there is no such product under this
name, although sold as such. In the course
of a prosecution in London. where firm
was prosecuted for selling ware as Dresden
and marking the goods as such. it was
stated that no china is manufactured in
Dresden. The name is applied to the pro-
ducts Of the royal factory at Meissen.
Furthermore, many pottery decorators at
Dresden work upon china that is manufac
tured at different places, is transferred to
that city, receives its imprint and Is then
disposed of as Dresden china.
