One New England statistical office,
the proprietor believing in fresh air,
has offices that are practically out Of
doors, making it necessary in winter
for the typists to wear gloves, and as
these cause frequent errors through
striking two keys instead of one, small
curved sticks have been put in use
with which, instead Of the fingers, the
keys were struck safely, one at a time.
The death rate from wounds in the

twice as much as they could last year.

bank to where l could look out once
more across the waters.
The view ~outspread before me re-

oppressed by the loneliness, l felt little
