ping umbrellas of customers had made
the floor quite wet and slippery just

happened to be in the back part of

large and very stout woman hurried
in. Just as the door swung shut be-
hind her she slipped and fell fat upon

her she picked herself up with surpris-
ing quickness for a woman of her
size, gave stony stare all around the
room, and then without uttering a
word, turned around. opened the door

TYPE THAT HAS PASSED AWAY.
Country Schoolmaster of the Early
Days of America.

Apropos of the country schoolmas-
ter of the early days of America, an
old manuscript in the New Jersey
Historical society contains the follow
ing characteristic anecdote:
"a travelling person coming into a
country neighborhood where was a
vacant schoolhouse offered himself as
a teacher. The neighbors convened to
examine into his abilities. He was
asked what branches he could teach.
Almost any, was the answer. He
could instruct children how to read
without first learning to spell, to write
without first making marks, and it
was indifferent to him in what rule
they first commenced arithmetic.
Are lou acquainted with mathemat-
les, STRIP was the next question. Sup
posing some great literary character
was meant the fellow assumed an air
of great Importance and quickly re-
piled: Matthew Mattocks, sir? No.
sir, am not acquainted with Matthew.
but I know his brother. Tom. very
well!'"

PROMISES OF ELECTRICAL ERA.
Advancement That VIII Open Natures
Heart to Man.

Fire made man master OF the mole
Guile; electricity makes him master Of
the atom and opens natures heart
Fire melted sand to glass and pre-
pared the path for telescope for Gal
fleo, camera for Daguerre, a micro
scope for Pasteur, engines for Watt,
Stephenson, Parsons and De Laval;
all the streams of lead and iron, cop
per and zinc ever smelted from their
ores, all the acids, oils and alcohols.
But all these electricity can do, do
1t better than fame, and greater works
than these, tasks beyond the power of
fire. The electrical era is only dawn
ing. There are motors and dynamos,
heaters and lamps, chemical dividers
and batteries. The larger the field of
electricity the cheaper it will become
and the bigger will be the demand.
When there are not only telephones
in every house, but sewing machine
motors, fans. smoothing irons, chatting
dishes and the like, electricity will be-
gin to mean as much for man to-day
as, long ago, did the first kindling of
fire with slowly won arts of furnace
and lamp, oven and smelter, crucible
and still. Thus saith a prophet of
electricity.

With It are associated the immortal

to make any place doubly immortal!

REMEoy FOR WRITER'S cRAMp.
Various Ways of Overcoming Common
Inconvenience.

What an annoyance it is to spread
all your writing materials out and set
tie down to a whole afternoon of let
ter writing, only to find after half an
hour that you have the writer's cramp.
After the first letter or two you give
1t up in despair. and the friends
who are waiting for letters are disap-
pointed
This writer's cramp Is a serious mat
ter to people whose work requires
that they use pen very much, while
for the unaccustomed writer who
takes an afternoon off now and then
TO catch up with her correspondence 1t
is, to say the least, very discouraging.
The trouble is more than muscular in
this kind of cramp. Very often low
nervous condition will cause It, Then
one should take 1t as a warning that
the system Is run down and needs gen.
eral toning up. Very often, however,
the trouble is In the way you hold
your pen.
Children now in school are not like
ly to be troubled with writer's cramp,
because they are being taught to
hold the pen lightly and make all
the movements from the arm instead
Of the hand. Tho old-fashioned meth
cd which most Of US learned, Of hold
ing the pen between the thumb and
foreflnger IL also very likely to en-
courage . cramp. The muscles be-
come tense and hard. until finally they
contract so much that all control over
them 10 lost. The pen should be held
between tho two first fingers, well up
toward the joint. The trouble may
often be relieved by putting the hand
and wrist into the hottest water one
can stand.

Economical Commodore.

II was the custom in the days of
our old navy for the men to bring to
the mast all worn-out articles which
were to be inspected, handed in, and
exchanged for new. The drummer
had applied for so many drum-heads
that the commodore felt sure he was
being imposed upon, and one day set
himself to watch while the band was
playing. As one rafting martial air
followed another, his anger increased
perceptibly, until he burst forth in
uncomfortable rage: There now.
confound youi l see why you Fuse so
many drum-heads! Don't drum in the
middle of it all the time. Drum all
over that drum, tell you!"
