THE SWAY OF THE
TYPEWRITER

, - w III l1lN
The typewriter is playing an import
ant part in civilizing the world. The
latest invention in this line is ma
chine capable of transcribing the Jap
anese ideogram; but typewriters i'm
printing Arabic Syriac, Armenian, He
brew and other Oriental languages
have long been used.
In Turkey the printing of anything,
from a circular letter to book, can
only be done under a permit from the
government. Therefore, typewriters
which imprint Turkish or Arabic char
acters are prohibited from passing
through the custom-house. Neverthe-
less, the increasing demand has some
how produced small supply Bag
dad, a city of 100000 inhabitants, has
twenty machines, all of which write
Arabic. In Syria, one of the most
polyglot countries in the world, Sy-
riac, Arabic, and French writing type
writer's are used by many of the bust
ness houses. Persia, which uses the
Arabic script, is learning to adopt the
typewriter. To go farther east a
number of Hindustani writing ma
chimes are now used in Bombay ana
other cities of India. Chinese seems
to be the only language which still
resists the typewriters endearments.-

A NURSERY RHYME TO DATE,

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
Now [ know just what you are.
I no longer wonder what
You are made of, twinkling spot!
For, since Man s enormous brain
Has produced the aeroplane,
Father often skins the air,
For the cream of knowledge there.
He has specimens of Mars,
Jupiter, and lesser stars;
While not long ago he scared
And the Polar Star explored.
Brother, with his latest pattern,
Gyroscoped the rings of Saturn.
Mother, darling, every year,
Summers in different sphere.
So, you are no mystery
To a little child like me,
For ] know just what you are,
Twinkle. twinkle, little star!

glad to say goodbye and the hosts
delighted to hear it,:
1t is a curious thing, but about this
time of year there is nearly always a
wall rising on the folly and discOm-
forts contingent on visit to country
house. Thank heaven, none of the woes
under which the wealthy and the social
climbers groan affect those in moderate
means. Such as visit their friends,
knowing that at the most not more than
two servants are kept, go with free
heart, for it is the rarest thing In the
world that visitors are obliged to tip
the domesties in such houses. 1t is the
large establishments where there are
servants galore, that compel the paying
of tips from the butler to the groom.
The man or woman who spends
week g end at such a house finds these
tips a distinct drain on the purse, and
when the guest is only of moderate for
tune. a severe one. There are the
young things, too, that visit. The girl
asks her older and more experienced
friends how much she ought to give
the butler, how much the maids. She
is in doubt, too, whether her hostess
win ape the British fashions and not
appear at all in the morning-and in
that case what is she, the visitor, TO
