Constant companionship with type
writing machine has a soothing and
elevating influence on a man. No hard
drinker, for instance, can use type
writer. Ills nerves must be in good
order or he will strike the wrong let
ters and mangle up his copy. There
Is case of this kind which led to the
reformation Of a man. He was a type
writer and stenographer for n law firm.
He was good all around man. but
he would go on the spree occasionally.
This the head of the firm did not like,
SO he thought he would teach him a
lesson The srenographer was a me-
tllodical man, ami he went on the
"gkate" at stated times In the year.
When he returned on one occasion his
employer had the machine all fixed for
him. He had had the letters changed
so shat when you struck a. for in
stance, It would print "x," and so on.
The stenographer came back feeling
rather shaky, anyhow, and when he
wrote off his fgSt letter the result was
appalling. He began to tremble. The
boss kindly se;it him to the Adlron-
hacis to brace up. The cure was COM
pete. He never touched liquor again

Norway Superstitions.

SO drenched Is Norway with old leg
ends and fairy tales and a pervasive
intimacy with the supernatural that 1t
is impossible to understand Norwegian
character, especially as expressed in
Norwegian art, without some compre-
hension Of the spirit world. for the
world of the sailors and fishers of the
white northland, the world Of the peas
ants and simple country folk, is in
habited by savage, wicked elves and
spirits. Everything is controlled by
It's own demon, who must be propitiat-
ed if life is TO go smoothly. Even the
weather is controlled by various de-
mons, and the canny Films, with their
pretensions of magical power, have
reaped a rich harvest from the super
stitlous Norwegians, many Of whom
still buy fair weather from the Gan
Finn by the sackful. Whoever has
known Norwegian fisherman has
heard of the Draug, that demon Of the
sea who rides in half boat and who
Is warning of swift and awful death.

A Conservative Speech.

There were some doubts in the COM

a position on the school board, owing
to certain lapses in his early education,
but his first speech in his official ca
pacity silenced the tongues Of all crit
les. He listened to several recitations
with grave and interested air, and
at the end Of the last one he arose to
address the school "by request"
"Some things are in my province as
member of the school board and some
are not" he said, with genial smile.

Primarily. the galleon was but n
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony of fate she became, almost from
her inception, center Of the fiercest
fighting. Square rugged and high Of
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
Of waist with massive bulwarks and
forecastle.. and poop three and four
decks high, she possessed picturesque
appearance, but little of sensible naval
architecture. The stem was clumsy
broad and blunt and smashed heavily
through the waves to the great detri-
ment of speed. This and the towering
stern presented such a surface to the
wind that the difficulties of steering
were quite formidable, and six or eight
men at the wheel were not unusual.
The method in this apparent madness
Of marine construction was the land
lubber's instinct. still strong in men OF
the sea of those days, to reduce all
naval maenuvers to the stand up and
knock down tactics Of the land fight on
common platform.-John G. Fitzpat-
