Inven- In bringing olution and he calls the his Intellect to b rfection of a machine graph,” A. C. Rumble ar upon the an inventor this 1id not intend t snatch the bread and ple from. the mouths of the t writer girls, but if his invention 15 what he claims it to be it ma e just such disastrous e s, the San Fran- T ombined a t stenograph writing is doomed, for the merciless mechan- tsm of Rumble’s h of these commercial accom fell swoop. 1In a word lictate his letters into on tnvention and pull m out at ready for mailing. That Is how Rumble intends to the scientific world as soon as b come a fects in th ach! claimed that the phonautogr the inventor has expended ¥ nights, receive d s the human voice in any language except Chinese, and reproduce them in plain Eng- lish chirography. Astounding as this state ment appears, Rumble insists that his ma chine can acc:mplish that feat and more too. It is yet somewhat imperfect, but when finished and placed on the market the phonautograph will, according to the maker perform all the functions of the typewrite except to chew gum and entertain young gentlemen callers during business hours It will answer the telephone, keep a letter fite, and spell according e dictates of jts own fancy. While recognized already by its inventor as a linguist and translator of no mean ability, the ph )h ad- heres to the phonetic style of spelling, and its capitalization and punctuation are miser- able beyond compare. Those are the defects, so common in the typewriter now in use, and which the in- ventor is striving hard to overcome. He is sanguine of ult e su and as the phonautograph is competen a job in any well regulated busines office it ‘will be patented and installed in place of the winsome article now employed. Tt was while attending a performance given by one of Edison's phonographs in Cleveland, O., several years ago that Mr. Rumble conceived the idea of the machine on which he js at present engaged. Prior to that time he had thought of the phon- autograph in a desultory way, being a b man, but it was the workings of the phono- graph which gave impetus to the idea. He 18 a believer In that scientific school which holds that sound is not merely the result of vibration, but has molecular or mechanical force. It is a thing, according to his theor: with material and independent characteris- tics governed by fixed laws, and upon these the principle of his invention depends. Though air has heretofore been considered a reliable conductor of sound, Rumble be- lieves that fluid, though slower, furnishes a much better medium. Electric fluid is the active body employed in the phonauto- graph, and, beyond the principles men- tioned, the inventor, who has an office in the Mills building, deéclines to go Into details regarding the workings of his remarkable machine. The model, which no one but himself and his financial backer is allowed to inspect, has been likened to a cash register. It is eighteen jnches long, twelve inches wide and ten inches deep. The machine is divided into two distinct parts, on the fronts of which are placed small electric buttons, which connect with and control the mys- terious interior mechanism. You press the buttons, talk into the re- celver and the phonautograph does the rest. Projecting from the upper part of the ma- chine is a mouthpiece connecting with a revolving cylinder similar to that used in the phonograph. The Impressions of the human voice are recorded upon the cylinder the same as in the Edison invention. Back of the receiver is a traveling needle for regulating the cylinder in recording the re- marks according to the size of the paper in which they are to be reproduced in writ- ing. When full of words the cylinder is transferred to the lower part of the ma- chine and placed on rollers, above which is a supply of paper for receiving the lan- guage. A small storage battery furnishes the electric fluld for translating the sounds into manuseript. No ink is used, and con- sequently the machine is not compelled to top and swear at blots. The written char- acters are produced in a bold, round hand by chemical action, but that is another of the secrets of the invention. One dozen ordinary letters may be dictated to the cylinder, which holds office secrets inviolate. The button is then press:d and the phonautograph does its work, transerib- ing the letters with neatness and dispatch, while the merchant or lawyer is out at lunch or talking business in the front office From the roll of paper the sheets are led automatically to the cylindsr, which, as soon as it has finished one letter, goes on with the next, correcting bad grammar, but spell- ing entirely by sound. When written the sheets slide out through a slit in the bottom of the box. The touch of a button will stop the operator at any point. Owing to the inability of the phonauto- graph to wrestle with the diphthong, the #llent letter, the capital and the elusive semi- colon, the dictator is compelled to revise h correspondence, but that is generally dene anyhow, even with high-salaried secretaries. Translating seems to be the phonautograph's great specialty, even though it is a little shy on spelling. The written characters Tesemble those made by the electric pen and are of a dark brown color. Another fault of the machine, aside from its wretched spelling, s that it will not reproduce figures, but insists on spelling out the numbers as spoken. This, with the other defects, Mr. Rumble hopes to remedy in the course of time. The inventor positively asserts that Greek, Latin, German, Spanish or any other language, barring Chinese, talked into the machine will be fluently translated into English as she is spoke. Al that is neces- sary is to go over the manuscript, inserting capitals and punctuation marks where they belong. For court reportin Mr. Rumble says the nvention will prove Yhvaluable, Everything will be recorded with absolute accuracy and fidelity, besides which the machine can act as court interpreter and thus cut down municipal expenses in another direction. Harsh words, once spoken, can never be re- called or modified except by the the tell-tale pen. “The scheme of the woman suffragists this year is now looked upon as a very shrewd one,” said a woman who is against suffrage to a New York Sun reporter. “For many years a little band of women in this city who have persistently and faithfully agitated the subject of the right of women to vote, found their closest adherents among th working women and those wnose higher edu- cation and liberal reading led them naturally to desire fuller and freer powers. Hence the band of woman suffragists was well equipped with brains and industry, and formed a pieturesque element of society. The papers did not pay much attention to it, the meet- Ings were not crowded and the world at large did not show an acute doings. “But early last fall the old leaders se- lected a list of the most influential and fash- lonable women in New York and went about the work of conversion with firmness and in- dustry. Nothing checked them, nothing put them off. The only qualification they looked for in a candidate at that time was social position. “For a time their efforts were frulll .., but flnally one prominent woman of fashion after anuther became interested in the move- ment. Sherry's fashionable quarters were secured, and the first half-dozen meetings were made s0 exclusive that Innumerable heart-burnings and fealousies arose.

J. An in Home and Country.- It is only natural that we find the frontal portion of the brain proportionately smaller, @ad the parietal portion proportionately larger than in_men. The intelectual achievements of individual women do mnot, as yet, amount to a very imposing total, and a comparison of intel- lect between the sexes must result unfavor- ably to women. In the face of their so- clai disadvantages it would be most we derful were it otherwise. ~We must call to mind the imporant ecircumstance that the lower In the scale of civilization we look the less do we find the difference be- tween the brains of the sexes. On the other hand, history shows no lack of heroic women, who, prompted by love of country, husband or child, have braved the severest hardships, exposed them:elves unflinchingly to dangers that would cause the oldest soldier to quail; sacrificed home loved ones and even life for duty's sake: or who, by virtue of their gentler attributes, have swayed nations. Yet in the proces: of the division of la- bor which has accompanied the march of civilization, the intellectual, or brain work, has fallen more and more to the lot of man, while the sphere of woman has been confined more and more to domestic cares. From the beginning nature confided to the female sex the duties of maternity and the care of the young, while giving to man that sphere of active labor from which woman has almost always been of necessity ex- cluded. This fact has not tended to im- prove the brain of woman, as the per- formance of domestic duties calls for a less active exercise of the mind than the more exacting labors of man, who has to strain every nerve to find sustenance for himself and for all his weaker dependants. A Mnneapolis girl, who has journeyed abroad, writes to the Journal of that place ay_follow “The English women who walked the deck or lounged in steamer chairs on the passage over the channel did not look to me as though they required much’ _chivalrous - attention. They were too_splendidly healthy and big to be cod- dled. The general sameness among them made it possible to at once sum up the typ of British womanhood. Tall, flat breasted, large feet and hands, strong, intellectual faces, fresh complexions, a striding gait, which is not exactly graceful, and very musical voices; these are the general at- tributes. On the whole, I like the type, but they could stand a little toning down in places and touching up in points. ~ They have the odd- est style of dress for the moment. It is the fashion to pile the hair in a great wad on the back of the neck and to plaster the fringe in a frouzle over the brow, with an invis'ble net holding it down. The hats are large, rolling up from the sides and trimmed heavily at the back, so that the head seems dragged down behind. Bon- nets are also worn on the very back of th coiled hair, and are mostly invisible from the front view. Traveling dresses and street dress:s are all made with waistcoat jackets. The four-in-hand scarf is giving way to a straight and narrow bow. Silver chatelaines make a pleasant jingle wherever a woman walks, and a tightly furled umbrella gives her a good walking stick. Even to gloves the English woman is masculine, for she wears heavy dogskin ones that are loose and clasps with a snap button.” The popular shapes in hats may be classi- fied into three varieties—the large picture hats which recall the shapes immortalized by Sir Joshua Reynolds, the fantastic, undu- lating brim shape, which is very charming when arranged in go:d taste, and the small toque, which may easily be turned into a bonnet by the addition of strings. The in- evitable sailor hat has its usual place on 1k list, yet it is in many Instances more ela rately trimmed than the regulation sailor ought to be. Transparent crowns, trans- parent brims, and tulle rossette are the newest features in millinery. Cclored coarse straws are very much worn, and pale pink, green and black are thy popula colors. A large rush green straw hat is trimmed with a soft crumpled green bew of fleld flowers. A very Frenchy black lat is adorned with velvety wide open bogcnias in the different colors of dark damask, pale pink, creamy white and rose cclor, set about like ‘rosettes. Unnatural black flowers are losing their hold on the public fancy, and, although black is introduced in almost every hat, it is accomplished with lace, *ibbon, or Jetted net. At intervals men comes up the subject of corsets for for discussion in the daily papers, and more or less profound Lomilies are written upon the vanity of men. As a matter of fact, however, corsets are practi- cally unknown amoug Americans, they among men of every other couatry ex- cept those in which the military forces are of the foremost importance. Men are born with a tendency to w Just as they are with a tendency to grow tall or to remain short, and even the most pro- found efforts on the part of fat men do not resuit in reducing th:m to the propartions ded by military custom.

The allegory goes on to say that the Diety was propitiated by both acts, because the intention was good in each case, and so undoubtedly society wiil be benefited by the present conflict of opinion among Wo- men. A reporter, interviewing a_woman physi- clan the other day in London, asked whether women doctors had now quite e tablished themselves in public confidence and if their patients had quite got over the idea that they were risking their health magnanimously to oblige a fellow-woma He was answered: “'Oh, , all that feel- ing has quite passed away.

Various are the ways of spreading disease. Some workmen tore down an old house in New Haven. Soon an epidemic of diphtheria broke out among their families and friends. They had carried the wood home for fire and thus were spread germs of the disease which had raged in the house the year be- fore. An old feather bed was thrown into an open lot. Children played with it and three out of five died of scarlet fever, and the disease was almost epidemic in the com- munity for a time. Through ignorance or carelessness that bed had not been properl. managed or it would never have been al lowed to leave the disease-stricken house ex- cept i ashes, A new course of study has been introduced In the curriculum of the Elmira Female college, being a systematic study of manners. The council of etiquette formed in the college is made up of representatives from all the college classes and to this council disputed points are submitted. It looks up author- itles, considers weight of evidence pro and con, and finally decides according to the best standarc Once every fortnight a member of the council presents an original paper, to be read in the college chapel *to the rest of the students. Some of the sub- jects thus presented have been “Manners in Public Places,” “Letters and Letter Writ- ing,” “Chaperones and Their Uses" and others. The broad quesion of Manners cannot be too much studied or too well understood. When it is brought down to finical questions of etiquette, which can never be decided for all time in all places, too much consider- ing of them is both tiresome and harmful the kind thing is usually the right thing It is while one is hesitating over what Mrs. Grundy has decided to be the right thing that the opportunity to do the kind thing passes.

There we found an old Califprnja acquaintance, Street by name, whose brotfier u; ) be the regis- ter of the Councfi° Bluffs land office. We soon became acquainted with Mr. Street, the ex-register. He informed us that he was going to start immeédiately to the Bluff ¢ on the same business as ourselves, so Edgar concluded to remaiw at Ottumwa and I came on here in comp: with Mr. eet and an. other gentleman by the name of Peck from Keokuk, whom he found at Oskaloosa. Mr. P., like oursélves, is hunting lands and is a very pleasant traveling companion. Mr. Street knows mere about this country probably and will'assist me more than any man I could have found, having been the register for some tlme in the Council Bluffs land office and depwty surveyor in the Bluffs district. He surveyed the whole of Mills and one or two other counties in Iowa, has been all over them and knows the best loca- tions in them. We arrived in Kanesville or Council Bluffs City late last evening. This morning we went to the land office and ordered a num ber of township: plats In this county, the two count. rth and one directly south, all on the Missourl. These countles are all settling up very fast and we think that the best selections to make money out of and insure the quickest returns at present are in these counties. We have examined the large plats at the land office and find a good deal of vacant land in these counties. In traveling along and making inquiries we found lands that have been entered but a short time and with little or no improve. ments on them held at from $5 to $10 per acre and I am now well assured that good selections cannot but help pay a large inter- est in two or three years Being unable to get our plats from the land office before (omorrow morning we hought w by ¢ Id not t in the time b than ming over herey to look at this place.
