Er FOR INVALIDs, By JULIET CORSON. MEATS. @rom Harper's Bazar. H Meat for the use of invalids should be chosen for three qualities—digestibiiity, nutriment and suitability to the case inhand; the last consid- eration is the most important. A meat may t tender,nutritions, and ordinarily digestibte, but if from any idiosyncrasy of the patient, or from his lack of capacity to assimilate its nutri- tive properties, it fails to afford the desired Nourishment, its use should net be continued. Presupporing that the physician is cognizant of is the his patient’s physic best judge of hy it; but ceneral information on the subject is always useful to those in charge of the sick-| room.

There are other things to be said in favor of the type-writer. It operates as legibly as a printing-press—more legibly than some print- ae ee in; its letters are two or three times A Profitable “Lapsus Linguae.” as large as those of an ordinary newspaper; its sentences are punctuated with the care be- stowed by a cod copyist, and the general effect @ page of them Isa refreshment to the eye. It “carbon” or “manifold” paper is used, three 's are written simultaneously; at the egdof your allotted task you have three copies instead | of one. For whenever you strike a note of the ; instrument the impress ‘of the particular letter of the alphabet represented by that note strikes through the lowest of three superimposed sheets of paper and appears successively on the other two. On each of three sheets, placed one upon another, the imprint of the letter is seen, and it takes no longer to print triplicates than to print asingle seeet. If, therefore, the operator on a type-writing machine can copy a page of MS. at the rate of sixty words a minute, or three times as fast as a skilled penman can do it, she can take three copies of that page simultaneously, or, in other words, can accomplish the work of nine skilled penmen. Put your nine skilled penmen in one room, ard your skilled operator on the type-writer in another; at the end of the day the latter has produced as much copy as | her nine competitors; and while anybody who can read at all can easily read her copy, perhaps it will require an expert in penmanship to dc- cide what many of the words in her nie rivals’ copy really are. In all business offices, there- fore, where much copying is required, the type- writer a valuable assistant. It has been found by business men who have availed them- selves of woman's work in type-writing that women possess the inestimable advantage of not being the rivals of their employers. A man acting the part of private secretary or confi- dential clerk may leave his employer at any moment and set up for himself, With young women the case Is different. For reasons which everybody recoznizes, but which perhaps will not hold good ferever, they are not regarded by business men as possible rivals. In the next place. ‘My private secretary, said a well-known solicitor of patents the other day, nodding in the direction of a young woman who sat in front of a type-writer, “has been this effice two years and has never lost a day nor an hour.”” The average salary of sucha secretary is 2500 a year. Sometimes a thousand dollars is earned. The run of the type-writer | can be learned in a week, and after a practice ot three or four weeks a clever girl can write faster than a penman. Persons who can play on the pianoforte become proficient in a shorter time. In any case it is comparatively easy to become a | first-class operator. An hour, or two hours, a day is as much as any young woman ought to practice when beginning. To become a first- ¢iass phonographer or short-hand writer ig much more difficult. The younz woman who begins at the age of twelve or ten years is likely to succeed the soonest. The best private secretary is one who can write short-hand and can operate a type-writer. She is able to take down answers to letters, and then to make copies on the type-writer from her phonographie notes. The business of a firm of “Diamond dealers haye a very hard time of It to keep up with the schemes constantly evolved by sharpers to rob them,”exclaimed a lieutenant ot police to a reporter of the Philadelphia Times, in the course of a general conversation bear- ing principally on the subject of diamond thievery. “fs there anything later than the coloring of cheap gems, which was exposed some time ago?” * “Yes; there is a new schemecalled ‘the tongue racket.’ It is, in my judgment, one ofthe finest ever conceived.” “How ts it worked?” “By two thieves—a man and woman, who usually assume the role of husband and wife. The pair drive up in a carriage before the jew- elry shop they have selected, and, alighting, enter the door. The man always appears very aged and infirm, and leans heavily on the wo- man’s arm for support. A pair of crutches even heighten the effect. Reaching the diamond counter, the old man seats himself. He is too weak to stand. His armsare evidently partially paralyzed, and hang limp by his side. He aska tosee some loose diamonds. The clerk holds the tray very close to the man’s eyes because his eyesight is so poor. Having no use of his arms and hands, the clerk even takes up a gem that he can truthfully commend and shows it to the prospective purchaser. The tray is set before the old man, but the clerk’s eyes are riveted upon the gems, of course. Several paper packages of the brilliants are opened. Clearly the old man is selecting a memorial present. Ultimate- ly seyeral packages are spread out on the tray, perhaps 100 or more diamonds. The nearsight- edness of the poor old man Increases. He leans even further over, and, with his face 2lose to the gems, gazes fixedly at them. Just at this juncture the woman, with an ecstatic exclama- tion, points tosome prominent artiele in an ad- jacent case on the wall behind the clerk. In- stinctively the eye of the salesman follows the direction indicated. One instant is enough. The thief's tongue meanwhile has been thrust into one of the open parcels of diamonds, and as quickly withdrawn into his mouth with three or four of the gems adhering to it. The theft can only be detected by weighing the parcel or count- ing the gems. This is rarely resorted to, as no suspicion is excited. The next move on the part of the thieves is to select a couple of zems and order them set; or to order thein sent C. 0. D. to any address in a respectable locality that oceurs to their minds. Then they enter their carriage and drive away.” Old Clocks. From Notes and Queries. The old brass clocks went only thirty hours, and were set in motion by a weight attached to a chain which passed over a sheave having spikes in the groove which caught in the links of the chain and required to be drawn up every day. There was acounterpoise at the other end of the chain, and sometimes a singie weignt was contrived to serve both the going and the strik- ing parts, and there was occasionally an alarm. On the introduction of the long pendulum clocks seemed to have assumed a different character. Catgut was substituted for the chain, and bar- rels were introduced on which the catgut was advent ofthe type-writer (their days seem to have become longer, because so much more work can jone in a day) that they are training in their ce twoor three young women to become operators on it, who meanwhile make them- selves generally usefui, and receive for their ser- vices $5 or #10 month.

From the Boston Advertiser. Harvard commencement day this year will be remarkable for two reasons. First, because the governor of the commonwealth, if present, will not receive an honorary degree, and again as being the first commencement on which the col- | lege authorities have taken pronounced ground against disorderly conduct in the yard. On every commencement day within the recollec- tion of the present generation of Cambridge men, the dormitory rooms in Holworthy, Hollis, and Stoughton, facing on the tollege yard, have been relinquished by their tenants for the use of various past classes. From the window seats have been hung large printed cards bear- ing such card numbers as ‘77. 69 and ‘54. In these headquarters the members of past classes who come to Cambridge to celebrate the day find an abundance of cooling retreshment. The grade of graduates having the most spare time for commencement festivities is apt to be that of those who most keenly appreciate the merits of such refreshments, and their Spprecncan generally shows itself most strongly in the amount consumed. By four or five o'clock they make the college yard an unfit thoroughfare for ladies, and when evening comes the climax is capped by bonfires, fireworks, and a scene of noise and confusion which is only intensified by the futile efforts of the college authorities to maintain order. Few Y sis venture to defend this custom of other days. Undergraduates are always the ones most astonished and Ae acer by it. The graduating class, though ly with recruits for the frolicking in the evening, 1s generally free from blame for the drunkenness during the afternoon. Pubfic opinion has long demanded an absolute suppression of the practices. The university has out wn its childish pranks, and the authorities and students are determined to make commencement day as free from them as they have made the rest of the academic year. In order to reach mates, all degrees are hereafter to be conditioned on a right of the cor- poration to revoke them for riotous conduct in the yard. ‘Women at a Fire. From the Aroostook Republican. At the recent’ firein Fort Fairfield, Me., the heroic work of the women deserves more than the mere notice that we are obliged at this writ- ing to give. No sooner had the alarm of fire been given than women and girls rushed to the rescue of those who needed them most. They took care of helpless.children, removed the sick, then carefully removed the househoid goods, watched and protected them from those who came to pilfer, and then when the contest came, the last hope of serine anything above the post office, they took their stand, formed lines to the river, passing buckets and all along the line. They even went up on tye ad. it with almost ders and foi . superhuman al , wi many stout, able-bodied men and Igoked on complacently. One young lady, who was nearly exhansted, asked one of these burly fellows to take her place and relieve her a moment, but he coolly replied: * Seed o keep on.” Several of the had ber hatred of, end one hed one ‘her bair burned considerably, wound up. and, a greater length of line being employed, clocks were made to go for eight days instead of thirty hours, and a chime of bells playing every quarter ot an hour was often added; the weights and long pendulum hung down, and, as there was danger of their action being interfered with, tall wooden cases were made to protect them,on the top of which the movement was placed. This was. I believe, the origin and date of the tall, upright clock cases, which were often made of ornamental woods and enriched with fine marquetry. I have one myself in an early marquetry case, made by Thomas Tompton, with a beautiful set of chimes, about 1690, and it is an admirable timekeeper, though It has only the orizinal iron wire for the pendulum rod; and similar in- stances are quite numerous. The earlier cases are made of oak and walnut, the mahogany cases being of the following century, when that wood was introduced. The ‘brass button and pillar clocks” seem to have gone out of use about this time, and probably few were made at the end of theseventeenth century. With re- gard to the name of the brass clocks, { have heard them called very many years ago “button and pillar clocks.” The meaning and origin of the name I cannot tell, unless it Is derived from the pillars at the corners, and the hook or but- ton on which the clock may be hvg up against the wall. gO ancrioner. It is under that book and play makers have never yet fixed on paper that very general and marked type of social nuisance, the society cross-questioner, says the San Franclaco Post. This vampire of the parlor ts distinguished by a total inability to be entertaining himself, and accordingly ‘takes it out” on his more agree- able acquaintances by subjecting their efforts to a critical analyzation, with the object of shuw- ing his own acumen and the entire frivolity of every one else.

Did you want to see him?” “Oh, awfully.” was the reply. “Is Beatrice Perkins going to Mukwonago for the summer again?” asked the horse reporter; “because if it’s anything abont that we keep that in type.” “No, it’s nothing like that.” “Nothing about ‘several well-known society young men on the North side are about to or- ganize a riding club’ is it?

From the London Standard. Mr. Quartermaine East, Mr. Anthony Biddulph (Sir Roger Tichborne’s cousin), and Mr. B. Croft, of Nottingham, had an interview with theclaim- ant in Portsea convict prison yesterday. The claimant was in excellent health, but was some- what dejected in spirits when Informed that in consequence of an informality in the proceed- ings delay would follow in the matter of the identification of the lunatic Cresswell in Aus- tralia, though he was gratified to learn that within the last few days the government had been officially informed that Chas. Orron had identified Cresswell as Arthur Orton. He was also Intormed that the recognition was mutual, and on the news reaching this country it was hoped that the claimant’s release would be immediate, though that could not now take place until the affidavits had been formaily made out. Theclaimant complained bitterly of the em under which he was allowed to speak to ‘8 Iriends only once in three months, and that a letter written in the most formal language on the 12th of May had been suppressed, thongh addreased to Mr. East. Mr. Croft then assured the claimant that his friends in the Midlands were as firmn as ever in his cause, and that ex- cept by death he had not lost a single adherent during his imprisonment, while a dozen homes were open to him as soon as he came out of prison. In bidding his visitors farewell, the claimant remarked that should he be liberated on ticket of leave on the usual terms his Im- prisonment would end in November next year Mia RM “Rational Dress” for Men. **A Woman's” Letter in the London Times. Men have their say on women’s dress, and decide autocratically what is or is not “rational dresg;” will you permit a lady to represent that men’s costume is by no means perfect, and ad- mits of much improvement as regards health, convenience, and grace? It is rather difficult to speak out plainly enough to substantiate my assertion as to the first point; but doctors will testify that there has been a great increase of late among young men of liver and kidney disease, uot to speak ot other delicate parts. This is owing, I believe, to the fashion which has prevailed of small cut-away coats, leav- ing loins and stomach unwrapt, save by the tight and often thin trousers. Older men frequently suffer from chill taken from sitting on damp seats or cold stone, from which a woman would be protected by her more voluminous garments. The absurdity of the open coat and walstcoat, turned back Just where the throat and chest need coyering,- is more generally recognized. The practice of wearing, In winter, waistcoats, cut very high, and the constant argument for wearing ‘a beard “to protect my throat,” show that it is felt, though not often acknowledged in speech. The large expanse of starched shirt front, held to- gether, perhaps, with but one small’ stud, is ridiculous in every way. It is a sham; for most, if not all, wearers supplement its deficiency by a warm’ yest below, which cannot, however, quite exclude a searching wind, or keen night. aur, after leaving a warm room, from reaching the lungs. It is not beautifal’in itself, it be- comes easily soiled, needs frequent repair, costly washing, and seldom sets as it should., The stiff collar, rasping chin, cheeks and throat, is most inconvenient in every way. A far more rational dress for man was the doublet fastening to the throat and covering the thighs, with soft band or turn-down collar. We come now to the crucial garment so recom- mended tor women’s imitation—trousers. If these be so adapted as to allow the free use of the limbs, how is it that men wear knicker- bockers for bicycling, rowing, running, and climbing? I once heard a gentleman, who had been to a fancy ball in hose and silk stockings, exclaim, ‘How jolly it 1s to dance without trousers.” I suppose he found they fettered freedom of action. The chief difference between man’s dress and woman's is the principle of suspension. The former uses braces, and hangs all the weight on the shoulders, the latter uses corsets, and suspends from the waist. Braces would not do for women, they would cut and pain the delicate flesh of the breasts. Do they sult men? Is it not curious that in all active exercise they are discarded, and a belt substituted? I can easily imagine many incon- veniences attending thelr use; but content my- self with suggesting the question. I have said nothing about the grace of men’s areas erery one must allow it might be more ornamental.

Mrs. Witiam Dowszs, of Uxbridge, Mase., writes on March 16, 1883, as follows: “During the past three years I have been s great sufferer froma complication of diseases which baffied tthe skill of the most experienced doctors, as I could not obtain permanent relief by their treatment and pre- scriptions; and Ihave also tried many so-called cures in the medicine line, but could get no relief. The pains, aches, and weakness increased so rapidly and constantly that I was 80 reduced in strength as to be unable to leave the bed, and the doc- tors informed me that there was no hope of a recovery’ In this exhausted and discouraged condition a dear friend persuaded me to use Hunt’s Remedy, and efter taking it only three days I commenced to ge’ better, and to my great joy und delight I have continued to improve constantly by its use, until now, after haying taken the remedy only a few weeks, I am able to be about my house again, and am now doing my housework. My Jamo back is cured, the severe pains have disappeared, an.1I am now in better health than for many years, and beg this privilege of gladly recommending Hunt's Rem- edy to all who are affected with any disease of the kid- neys or liver: and I also highly recommend it for the attacks of sick headache. My husband also has expe- rienced a very great benefit to his health by the uee of this most valuable medicine, Hunt's Remedy.” “OUR FLAG 18 STILL THERE.” Mr. 8. B. Longfellow, Augusta, Me., east side river, writes us under date of April 15, 1883: “To whom it may concern: This may certify that two | years ago Iwas very badly afflicted with Kidney and | Urinary difficultics, which extended through the system ‘and laid me up for weeks, eo that I could do no work. 1 had the most skillful physician in town, who gave me no assistance. Hearing of Hunt’s Remedy, I got a bottle, and half of it cured me enurely, eo that I have been welleversince. The other half I gave to a neigh- bor who was afflicted much as I was, andit restored him | tohealth. I can truly say Hunt's Remedy has been | of great and inoxpreasible worth to me.” my25 | FFFEERL 5888, 2% COO 00 ™,SS8q FOR LE & && o co of RoR og 288. 8 08 8 B ERRLLLEsss§ “4ee* Cou 00 L un E He?
