Ono item was "alo and bread furnished to the workmen, 10s., "nnd another for "drink money to servants, 4 17s. (Id."

With practice ho licgiiu to lie bolder, and he wrote copies of verses on every day events, and also littlo ballads. Ono of these, written when ho was 17, his eldest sister liked so well that she sent it to tho weekly paper of New'huryport, Tho Frco l'vess, then recently slarted by William Lloyd (4mi'isSi.

Ho was aiding bis father to mend n stone wall by tho roadside as tho postman passed on horseback and tossed tho paper to tho young man. "His heart stood still a moment when ho saw his own verses," says a biographer. "Such delight as his conies only olico in tho lifetime of any aspirant to lib raiy fame. His father at last called to him to put up tho paper and keep at work. " Tho editor of Tho Free frees wns only three years older than the poet, although far moro mi. hue. Ho did lnoio for tho young mail than merely print these boy i. h verses, for hi; went to Whittier's father and urged tho need of giving tho youth a little bitter education. To do this was not possible then, but two years later, when Whittier was an academy started at Haverhill, and hero bo nt tended, oven writing a few stanzas to be sung nt the opening exercises. Ho studied at Haverhill for two terms, and l y making slippers, by keeping books und by teaching school ho earned thn littlo money needed to pny his way.

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS. Thn niiftlnAn lln Ornn-n to Grrnt Propor tions In Now Vni'lc. Thero is o peculiar industry in Goth am which Iiiih grown to astonishing pro portions. This is the business of furnish ing newspaper clippings to individuals, firms and corporations. There are half n dozen of those concerns in New York, which supply customers not only iu tho United States, but in nil parts of tho world. One of thei;o newsprper clipping bureaus received an order from the Ha waiian government to send President Dole all tho notices, editorials, cartoons and other published matter regarding Hawaii, its government nnd Its ull'airs. Every prominent author, actor, poli tician and professional man is now n suWribcr to ono or more of the clip ping bureaus, nod a busy man finds tho system very convenient, for be is ena bled, us it were, to rend his newspapers by proxy.

Speaking of theater boxes and people iu them, there's not a sight in nil tho capital that I admire moro tlinn tho heroism of the society young man in a box party. Now a box in a Washington theater will hold four persons comfort ably, and of thoso four only two can see what's going on ou the stugo well. 8o far as seeing the play goes, a box seat is the worst in tho house. Then tho average box party is made up of six or eight full grown men and women, and tho women get tho front seats, of oonrso, and tho mnu well, the men tako the background and catch rare glimpses of tho loading lady's shoulder, and when tho chaperon says, "Oh, Mr. Brown, I'm so afraid you're not see ing," they smile and says "Oh, yes, I am.

An Kloctrlrnt Typewriter Tlint Tran.tnlU I'rllllotl ChftrnetMH. Tho printing telegraph, though n de vico of comparatively recent develop ment, has been the subject of ceaseless investigation, and practical workers iu electricity have directed their whole at tention iu some instances to tho trans mission of messages and the recording of them in plain ltomati characters. Its advantages nro simply thoso of an electrical typewriter, by means of which tho message is printed iu tho presence of the transmitting operator iu pag'J form, and a duplicate of the same print ed ut all tho receiving stations on the line, whether it bo a long or short cir cuit. A single transmission prints it simultaneously in page form ready for tho compositor's case' in all the news paper ofllct s of many cities. It is said to dilTer materially from all other known means of telegraphy iu one essential particular. In it the impulses move tho instruments, whereas in other systems tho instruments movo tho im pulse that is to say, the transmitter of the messago is caused to win by a sepa rate power. No combination of elec trical inipulso or currents is employed. An even succession of dots or impulses, which operate the polarized relay arma turo nt the ri-ceiving station, places the revolving typo wlteel iu tho required position, when tho local mechanism causes tho letter to bn printed. The apparent impossibility of trans mitting printed characters 500 or 1,000 miles over a single wire at once presents itself to I ho mind, and it is overcome in this system, it is asserted, in n very simple way. Each letter i f !ho ulpluibot is represented by u certain number of impulses, which revolvo the type wheel to the required position, when tho let ters nro struck by tho local mallet. Fourteen impulses represent the en tire alphabet, making a complete revolu tion of tho typo wheel, which may bo turned 800 revolutions iior minute, thus securing very rapid printing. It :i ndvau tago also is that of absolute secrecy as a means of communication. The advan tage of tho printing telegraph for tho transmission of news to the newspaper offices is unquestionably a subject com manding attention on the part of pro gressive proprietors.

U ms to ceij iliing that is written a mechanical touch. There's uo stylo or individuality about anything composed on a typewriter. "You will find that tho newspaper writers in nil thn larger offices nse type writers. Tho use of them has extended iu many other directions. Mgr. Satolli has one, lint wherever you find a man writing on one and composing as he writes yon will find that his work is cramped, mechanical, miimngiiiativo, without tho slightest touch of fancy or vitality. "Go into the offices of tho big dailies and yon will find tho young meu who make the papers seated at n typewriter, grinding out columns of colorless, un readable stuff for the paper. You can't turn out thought by machinery, nnd the young men who write their matter for tho press on typewriters never rise above thn level of mediocrity. Go into the composing rooms of the big dailies, too, nnd yon will find tho printers setting type by machinery. No stylo about that.

When broken open, somo nrp found to be full of pure looking, clear water. Oth ers appear to bo full of yollbw or brown paint, whilo a third class are filled with what appears to be a very fair quality of tar. No odds what the filling of tho cavity may bo composed of, tho sides are always studded with crystals.
