TAUGHT IN ACADEMY OF
WHICH DIR. HOLMES is HEAD.
Institution Located in Colorado
Building, Washington, With
Corps of Expert Teachers.

The Stenogra phic Academy. located in
the Colorado building, is prepared at all
times to receive pupils in shorthand and
typewriting DR.. NJ. J. Holmes, princi-
pal, and Amos Tyree, superintendent, are
assisted, il is stated, by corps of ex-
pert teachers, selected not only by rea-
son of the fact that they are skilled In
the theory and practice of shorthand. but
with the special view of their ability to
impart their knowledge to students.
The proprietors of this academy call at
tention to the fact that the Congress of
the United States and all courts of law
are required to have their proceedings
reported in shorthand; that no assembly
Of any Importance ever meets without
providing a stenographer to record its
transactions and that as there is no in
dustry or branch of business that does
not employ a greater or less number of
stenographers and typewriters it is easily
seen that the demand for expert short
hand writer's is greater than Is the sup
ply. :.
The instruction given at this school Is

Corset, Ancient Armor.

From the London Chronicle
French historian of ~omen's dress
states that the corset, against which a
war has again been declared by some Of
the leaders Of Paris society was worn by
the ancient Egyptians. This assertion is
borne out by the figures carved on the
tombs of women, who are invariably rep
resented as wearing garment strongly
resembling the modern corset. There does
not appear to be any representation ex-
tant of Cleopatra VI. the beloved of An
tony. but in one Of the temples there is a
figure of her predecessor. Cleopatra IL,
