The speedier a stenographer can typewrite a letter the more valuable shee be owes to the busy business man, Practice does a great deal, but correct fingering and the " Touch System," which we teach thoroughly, are of paramount importance. When the " Touch System'.: is mastered the operator never looks at the keyboard, but keeps her eyes on her notes, She saves the time lost by the "sight" operator in glancing from notes to keyboard and back to notes again -a considerable item in a day's work and a severe strain on the eyes as well. Our large, free catalogue tells more about our stenographer's course and gives much valuable information about the diplomas of the Business Educators' Association.

It Was Noticed and Commented Upon by the Ancient Egyptians, The appearance of a green light at aunset was noticed and commented upon by the ancient Egyptians and more particularly so because in the clear air of Egypt the tints of sunset are peculiarly distinct. As the sun there descends nearer and nearer to the horizon and is im- mensely enlarged and flaming, it sud- denly becomes for an instant a bril- liantly green color, and immediately a series of green rays suffuses the sky in many directions, well nigh to the ze- nith. The same phenomenon appears at sunrise, but to a smaller extent. Some- times, just as the last part of the sun's disk vanishes, its color changes from green to blue, and so also after it -has disappeared the sky near the horizon often is green, while toward the. zenith it is bine. This was alluded to in Egyptian writings. Day was the emblem of life end night that of death, and the noc- turnal sun, being identified with Osiris, thus rendered Osiris king of the dead. The setting sun was green; therefore Osiris, as the nocturnal deity of the dead, was painted green. The splendid coffins of the high priests of Ammon frequently depict the green sun, and the funeral deities are all colored green, There are innumerable instances in the Egyptian relics of representations relative to death being colored green. The practice undoubtedly arose from the green tints of sunrise and sunset. The green sun disk is referred to 5,000 years ago in Egypt. This is the earli- est known human record of an as- tronomicaI phenomenon. THE HERRING CATCH. It Is to Northern Europe What the Wheat Crop Is to America. Today the herring is hardly regarded as a luxury. Indeed, it is chiefly eaten by those who can afford nothing else, and yet 3,000,000,000 of these fish are needed to supply tbe annual demand. How this inexhaustible, limitless yield of the ocean has swayed the destinies of nations is strikingly set forth in an article by Harold Bolce in Ocean, Despite the unremitting harvest by predatory man and gull and cannibal- istic cod and shark, the unconquered armies of herring still continue, to pop- ulate the Atlantic with multiplying hosts, The Atlantic has been aptly called the "herring pond." Indelibly associat- ed ssociated in the past with the economic and political history of occidental man- kind, the herring seems destined to survive as one of the greatest factors In the welfare of western nations. To- day what the wheat crop is to America the herring catch is to northern Eu- rope. FeW persons, even among the masses that consume this fish, realize its economic importance. More than 8,000,- 000,000 ,000;000,000 herrings are captured annually, according to the latest estimate. The weight of that annual catch is over 750,000 tons. It would require 25,000 freight ears, each with a capacity of thirty tons, to haul the herring harvest inland from the Atlantic. A Doctor's Assistant. A doctor whose large practice has made an assistant necessary was told that the man bet selected was hardly competent. "He's good enough for what I Want him for," said the doctor. "1 don't expect him to prescribe for my pa+ tients, but to listen to their gossip. 10 many cases the privilege of talking aver his troubles with the doctor eon.. stitutes the biggest part of a patient's cure. 1 haven't time to listen to an these cotnplalnts myself; hence the need of an Assistant. This in is good looking and sympathetle. Callers will readily unburden their heetts to him, then when they ate ready tor teal Medical adeke be can pass them 00 t4 TEACHING MONKEYS. Simple Acts That Ara Toe Difficuit For Simian* to t,aarn. it would be a very simple *natter for a fourteen months old child to learn to pull In, by weane of a very light toy wooden rake, an object which It could not reach with its bands, and yet Jimmie, a very tame Rhesus monkey of mine, writes Jolln B. Watson in The World Today, spent many days in trying to learn this simple act and had not learned to Manipulate the rake When our patience ran out, Jimmie was kept *moderately hungry at the time of the experiments; he was teth- ered Just out of reaeh of some very tempting food (walaga grapes). A light top wooden rake was given bine In, etinetively he grasped it, bit it, then dropped it and began straining at his tether and reaching out as far as possi- ble with his foreleg, snaking vain ef- forts to- scratch In his food, The rake was then put around one of the grapes, and the handle extended toward Jim- mie. Instantly be grasped the handle as before and jerked it, and the grape rolled within reach of his paw. The rake was dropped and forgotten and the faithful paw utilized for the com- pletion of the net. Now what happens when the grape has been eaten? The rake is still with- in his reach, and the grapes are still outside the pale. Does be perceive the relationship existing between "food out of reach, rake will lengthen paw, ergo, use rake2" Not Jimmie. And he is the brightest of six. As long as you will kindly hook the blade of the rake Around the grape and extend the han- dle toward him he will condescend to pull In the rake and consequently the grape, but he has never yet botia pushed out and thins pulled in the rake of his own initis. THE SUCK SEA. Its Waters So Badly Poisoned That Lite Is Practically Impossible. Few persons, probably, other than those engaged in the 'pursuit of sci- ence, are aware that the Black sen presents an interest of its own to the zoologist and the geologist shared by no other part of the ocean at the pres- ent day, 1 Throughout the greater part of the ocean the bottom is the dwelling place of a number of creatures whose busi- ness it Is to consume the bodies of the members of the surface fauna which after death sink to the bottom. In the Black sen, however, says the Field, ow- ing to special geological events, -suck scavengers are totally t.'anting over the greater part of the bottom, so that the eareasses of the creatures which fall from above are Ieft M decompose, which they speedily do at the com- paratively high temperature of the water. ! By their decomposition two soluble compounds, carbonate of ammonia.and suiphureted hydrogen, are developed In enormous quantities, while no free lime, except such as Is introduced from the Mediterranean, is left. The vol- ume of suiphureted hydrogen Is so great as to poison the water from the greatest depth (1,227 fathoms) to within about a hundred fathoms of the surface to such a degree that life, ex- cept for a few bacteria, is absolutely impossible. The circumstance has a double inter- est -first, that it is absolutely unique at the present day, and, secondly, that it seems to offer an almost exact parol. lel to the state of affairs that existed at the inconceivably remote epoch. when the oldest known sedimentary* rocks were laid down as mud on the ancient sea bottom. Pat Was Surprised. Two Irishmen got the contract to clean a well. Pat tied a rope around his middle, and Mike lowered him into the well. When Pat was through cleaning, Mike began to hoist blue up, but when he was halfway up he called to his companion in the well: "Hould on it m]nnit, Pat, till 1 spit on me hands," and let go of the rope. Naturally Pat descended again a little too rapidly for comfort. When Mike realized his blunder, he ran to the well and called down: I "Pat, Pat, are ye dead?" I And his partner replied: "No, ye brainless spalpeen; Oi'm not dead, begorry, but Oi'n1 spachless wid surprise at yo" SUFFERED FROM HEART and NERVE TROUBLES FOR the LAST TEN YEARS.
