For number of years the supply
Of male eligihles in stenugraphy and
Iypewriting has been inadequate to
meet the demands of the various de-
part ments OF the government. Ev-

affairs to the notice Of the public,
both by sta tements published in the
annual reports aud other pnblica.

the facts to the attention o. stenO-
graphers throughout the country will
be appreciated.
1.-The salary usually paid the Ste
nograpers and typewriters upon en-
trance to the government service
ranges from $72O to $1,000 per an

evers, are excellent, especially 10 view
OF the fact that, on account OF the
nature OF their duties, stenographers
are more readily able to acquire a
knowledge OF the work OF an office
than other clerks.'

Queer Weddings.

ut is hard to look over my record
Of marriage services without contin-
uous merriment," wrote the Rev. John
Henry Barrows, president of Oberlin
college. In a memoir of her fathers
life Miss Barrows gives some of his
experiences in his own words.
81 recall the marriage where the
awkward father of the bride, who
was himself nearly seven feet tall,
tried to kneel when his daughter knelt
and who required help after the bene-
diction to bring him to his feet again.
Il remember the loving groom who
had come to my house to be wed and
who, after the ceremony, tenderly re
marked:
Jennie has no friends here, doctor.
l should be so glad if you would kiss
her.
81 think of the young man in church
who walked with five other young men
up one aisle, while the bride and five
other young ladies walked up the 9th
err aisle, the two forming a straight
military line before the altar, and
who, when l whisperingly asked him
his first name. replied in loud tones,
I do and who at the close of the
service took out ten dollar bill and
presented it in the presence of the
entire congregation.
81 think of the couple whom l called
| by wrong names, saying, DO you,
| Georgey DO you, MarthaY when |
