A High standard of Proficiency Set hy F.mployera—Applicants Are Subjected to a Thorough Examination. That New York is the grand center for competent stenographers and a short-lived rendezvous for incompetents is frankly admitted. Yet, of the estimated thirty thousand stenographers and typewriters in the city to-day, the proportion who are a credit to the shorthand profession is said to lie surprisingly' small. A veteran phono-j grapher in touch with the progress of the art recently' said: “Here in this city there are every year a legion of young people who commence the study of shorthand through the ill advice of parents or friends, without making the first inquiry into the mental or phys- ( ical qualities requisite in the make-up of a skillful stenographer; lienee it is that only about one person in twenty ever reaches the goal of success.” One instructor says much more is expected of a stenographer to-day than ever Ix-fore, and more talent is required here in New York city than in any other place lie knows of in this country. Business men no longer tutor and humor incompetent employes. Schools are demanding a higher standard of excellence than ever before. We will not recommend a pupil for a position until he lias passed a technically rigid examination in taking from dictation and properly transcribing all forms of office correspondence, legal matter in the form of complaints, answers, affidavits, agreements, testimony. specifications, amendments and other details. Besides this, we frequently dictate extracts from magazines, newspapers and encyclopeadias. Only a few years ago the prediction was made that shorthand schools must 1 decrease their production of graduates, I or, as a natural result, one of two | things was imminent among shorthand writers—a reduction of wages or a raising of the degree of excellence required for the obtaining of employment. The latter alternative seems to be rapidly approaching. Probably fifty per cent, more shorthand skill and general education is to-day required to hold a good position in New York city than was needed five years ago. When questioned as to this the above instructor said: "Work here is done quickly and systematically, and the stenographer w0o succeeds in this busy metropolis must know a great many tilings besides having the mere ability to make marks and operate a typewriter. Me must have education, skill and discernment, and be able to use shorthand and to typewrite with great intelligence. One year's training in a business house here is conceded to be as valuable, from a practical point of view, as three years’ training in many oilier large cities. “That this fact is rapidly becoming known and appreciated is shown by the steadily increasing number of young people who come here from a distance to learn and practice the art. They come to this city from Florida, Kansas. California. Cuba, Spain, and, indeed, from all over the world; yet, despite this great influx, salaries here range higher than in any other part of the country. In Chicago, for instance, many stenographers last summer accepted positions at three or four dollars less per week than they would receive here. Our best short-hand schools now require an entrance education. Candidates for admission afe closely examined in spelling, punctuation, penmanship. English composition, geography and many other vital points, and there is no hesitancy in rejecting any applicant who is disqualified. Only a few years ago the average speed necessary to answer the requirements of an amanuensis was seventy to one hundred words per minute, while at the present time a rate of less than one hundred and twenty words per minute is deemed inadequate. “Of high-grade stenographers,” said Mr. Snyder of the Remington bureau, "there is not Jialf enough to meet the demands. ’1 hrough this agency aione, three thousand stenographers and typewritists were last year recommended to paying positions. Of this number, probably two-thirds were young women. “it is curious to note," he added, “that the young men who come to New York from the country meet the reouirements far better than those who are residents of the city. The former come here with a definite aim and purpose, look upon their position and surroundings more seriously, and work with much greater earnestness and sin-

cerity.”

Forbade Him to Submit. One of the most painful trials of Kossuth's exile was his inability to be present at the deathbed of his mother. She lived in poverty in Brussels, and she expressed a desire to see her son once more before she died. The Belgian government of that day would not grant his request to visit her unless he consented to be accompanied wherever he went by an oflicer of police. He might have consented to this degrading condition, says one biographer, for her salve, but uo sooner did his mother hear of it than she forbade him to come to her, and she expired in tlie last days of 185:2, blessing Irim with her dying breath.

FreaivrvluK Hut llsalth of Srlioolhoja by Hally Attention to Their Condition. “A Headmaster’s Wife,” In an uncommonly sensible letter to a London paper, describes a plan whereby the health of schoolboys or young collegians can be more thoroughly taken care of than is usual. In normal school practice all boys “reported sick" are excused from football and other sports, but the question is, to what extent must a schoolboy feel ailing before he reports himself sick? It is the very pluck that i>ne admires in boys that generally works the mischief, and they often will not complain until the delay has more or less seriously aggravated the ease. Though so unready to report himself “sick,” a boy will usually admit that he “does not feel very gay” if the question is put to him directly, and it is this fact that has given Vise to a system which has been found to answer excellently well. One boy in each dormitory is appointed to report each night upon the condition of the boys in his dormitory. He writes on a slip of paper: “All well in such and such dormitory,” and adds the date, or: “All well except so and so, who complains of this or that malaise.” These slips are placed nightly on the desk of tlie lady manageress. Suppose that a boy complains of headache or sore throat, lie is at once summoned, the slight ailment is inquired into, a simple remedy ordered, and in nine cases out of ten nothing more is heard of the matter. If. however, it seems to be a ease of chill, the boy is kept warm in the sick room for a day or two. “I am convinced,” says the "Headmaster’s Wife," "that beingkept warm for a day or two often wards off a serious illness, and in this opinion 1 am supported by one of the most eminent of London physicians. A plan something analogous to this might he carried on in nearly all educational institutions. The ‘preventive’ takes only a day or two. the ‘cure’ may take weeks, and that means a serious loss of valuable work and possibly precarious health for years to come.”

The "Whale" was exceedingly fond of adventure in the wild mountains about him. He was of fine physique, proportionately built, and with eyes as sharp as an eagle's. His hair and beard were as black as a raven’s wing, and he always wore quantities of both. This man was always accompanied by two companions, whom he designated as “Old Hell-in-the-Brush” and “Heart Deep." The former was a magnificent London twist rifle-bore gun, which carried an ounce ball. It weighed eighteen pounds, and was an old-fashioned muzzle loader, but nevei in any way went back on the name beI stowed on it by tlie "Butterfly Whale.

Continuing our walk, we came upon other objects of artistic interest. These were people binding the wheat into sheaves, and others loading the carts, and transporting tlie sheaves to the place where they were piling them in huge stacks. Francois watched this with great eagerness, saying to me: “See the grand movements of tlie men who lift the sheaves on their pitchforks. to give them to those who are on tiie stacks. It is astonishing, toward the approach of night, how grand everything on the plain appears, especially when we see figures thrown out against the sky. Then they look like giants.”

SIBERIA NOT ALL STERILE. Five Million Square Mil'w of I.and Suitable for Agriculture or I’axturc. Siberia is popularly supposed to be a barren waste, extending from the frozen ocean on the north to tlie sands of the Gobi desert on the south. But tliis popular impression is altogether wrong, according to the i’hbadclphia Record. Exclusive of the north ami the deserts of Turkestan. Russia in Asia contains an urea of 5.000.000 square miles of land suitable for agriculture or pastoral pursuits. Its population numbers nearly 18,000,000. There are several cities with a population exceeding 50,000. The agricultural products exported, which constitute only a very small part of the whole, are valued at an average of 830,000,000 a year. The output ■'* the mii’cv exported i” valued at upward of 8:20,000,000 annually, and the furs, fish, skins and other products that come into European Russia from Siberia are worth 85,000,000 to 80,000,000. It was for the purpose of developing this vast territory and encouraging immigration thither that the government of the czar has undertaken to expend 8300,000,000 upon the Great Siberian railway, over 4,000 miles long, which will connect the Black sea and the Baltic with Vladivostock, on tlie Sea of Japan. It is not expected that the railway will pay tlie expense of operation for many years to come. But it will doubtless be an important factor in the future economic history of the world. One result of the completion of the road may be an entire shifting of trade routes: and it will | certainly open a new and productive 1 continent to settlement. He Was Kccentrlc.

stei^l dirk weighing eleven pounds, which the “Whale” wielded as easily as the average mart would a penknife. On one occasion, while on a limiting trip on the south fork of King's river, he came to a meadow and concluded to fence off a little of it for the use of his mustangs. He and the single companion with him began felling the trees. By some miscalculation one of the trees fell in a different direction from what was expected, and caught the friend of the giant, crushing him to the <-arth. It had been a very lofty tree, was two feet thick, where it caught the unfortunate man, and was almost as heavy as lead. But the "Whale" was equal to the emergency. Concentrating all his giant strength, he lifted the trunk from tlie crushed and bleeding form. The man soon died of his injuries, but his last hours were much easier by reason of | the feat of his giant friend. Many Other feats of strength were performed by him at different times. His lifting power was nine times his own weight, or eighteen hundred pounds. One of his most phenomenal feats of strength, combined with his great presence of mind in time of danger, was illustrated while he was on the middle fork of King’s river prospecting for gold. Just before dusk one evening he espied a six-months-old grizzly, weighing fully two hundred pounds, on a shelving ledge of rock asleep. The “Whale” said he would capture the beautiful thing alive, and began to steal up on it. His companion, Lewis, advised him that lie had better shoot it, but the “Whale” said he would enjoy the fun. At this Lewis climbed a tree to be out of any possible scrimmage. The giant advanced cautiously up to the edge of the ledge and grasped tiie young grizzly by its hind feet. The bear woke, was astonished, and for the first time in its life summoned aJl its young strengtli in a desperate battle.

“A young lady employed by a gold and silversmith in New York has only her good looks to thank for the fact that she was allowed to resign without being prosecuted for theft,” remarked a resident of Brooklyn, according to tiie St. Louis (>lobe-Democrat. “She lias an extraordinarily tine head of hair, which she allows to hang 'oosely over

resided at the Rigg, a few miles from the village of Gretna, about 1750 or 1760. He was accounted a shrewd, crafty fellow, and little more is known of him, says Sala's Journal. George Gordon, an old soldier, started up as his successor. He always appeared on marriage occasions in an antiquated full military costume, wearing a large cocked hat, red coat, jackboots, and a ponderous sword dangling at his side. If at any time lie was interrogated “by what authority he joined persons in wedlock.” he boldly answered: “I have a special license from goveru- | ment, for which I pay fifty pounds sterling per annum.” He was never closely examined on the subject, and a delusion prevailed during bis life that a privilege of this kind really existed. Several persons afterward attempted to establish themselves in the same line, but none was so successful as Joseph I’aisloy, who secured by far the greatest run of business, in defiance of every opposition. It was this person who obtained the appellation of the old blacksmith, probably on account of the mythological conceit of Vulcan being employed in riveting the hy-

meneal chains.

Paisley was first a smuggler, then a tobacconist, but never at any time a blacksmith. He commenced his mock pontifical career about 178'J. For many years he was careful not to be publicly seen on such occasions, but stole through by-paths to the house where he was called to officiate, and he there gave a certifleate miserably written, and the orthography almost unintelligible. with a feigned signature. Through an important trial, arising out of his marriage®, he was forced to declare himself, and afterward wore canonicals with the dignity of a

The following incident is said to have happened in u school iu that part of Brooklyn known as Dutchtown, and the Outlook, in relating it, truthfully remarks that comment is needless.

“I doubt it,” replied the teacner; “you don’t know how stupid some of them are." “Children,” said the principal, “if your mother sent you for a pint of beer and gave you ten cents to pay for it, how much change would you bring

There were forty-six children in the class, and all but one of them immediately gave the correct answer.

She came twenty feet at a bound, growling terribly, and with eyes lutxziiig one fire. Lewis, f/om Ins perch in the tree, tried to shoot her and fired several times. In rolling over with the bear the “Whale” had come up on top. He realized immediately his precarious position, and, grabbing the euh by its heels, swung it with prodigious force, by a powerful swing of his great arms, against the giant grizzly. Its head struck Hie fiery brute square in the mouth, and its bruised and bleeding form dropped from his hands. Quicker than it would be possible to tell it the “Whale” had jumped to the fore and buried the eleven pounds of steel of "Heart Deep" in the vitals of the old bear, killing her immediately. Lewis clambered down from his tree and looked in vain for marks of his bullets. He had not hit the bear at all. “Heart Deep" alone

The manufacture of Russian lace, in which wonlen and girls are exclusively engaged, occupies upward of ten

age.

"Steps were taken to subject the employes to a more rigid search, but no discovery was made until the young lady with the long hair quarreled with her roommate over a love affair, and in a fit of jealousy her rival gave away the most interesting story. The young lady had kept her hair well greased, and then while at work would frequently pass her fingers through it casually. as though it were a mere matter of habit. “By the process she accumulated a good deal of gold dust in her hair and sometimes dropped some diamond chips as well. Every night she combed out her locks with the smallest of tooth combs, carefully collected (the pecul* iarly purloined treasure-trove and sold it without any difficulty. She broke down completely when taxed with the offense, made restitution as far as she was able, and her tears and promises were so profuse that she was then allowed to depart in peace, although her employer somewhat inconsistently took measures to prevent her obtaining further employment in the business in which she was an expert.”

TRUE GENTLEMEN.

llousli WorUinctuen Who Are Ke»pactful

to Women.

It has been demonstrated on many occasions that it is not necessary for a man to have his clothes cut in the latest fashion, to have diamonds sparkling on ills shirt front and to wear silk underwear in order to come under the head of "gentlemen.” An example of this is : riven daily on I'Dim street, near Twelfth, says the Cincinnati TimesStar. The thoroughfare above the last named street is used by tlie young ladies of the college of music, who live in the West end, for by using the rear entrance to the college they save themselves a walk of almost two squares. Just below the entrance to the college located one e* the large depots of the Cincinnati lee company, and here daily there are from six to ten men employed loading the wagons of the company. In order to do this it is necessary to lay a chute from the house to the wagons, and in no case have the men failed to remove the chute in order to let the young ladies pass. In other ways, too, do these rough, honest fellows show their respect for the ladies, and it is an accepted fact at the college that it is much safer and more pleasant for a young lady to go by the way of I’lum street than to run the gantlet of the medical students on Twelfth street. The ogling and the remarks that are usually made when a young lady passes a crowd of well bred (?) young men are entirely foreign to these men, and they show their deference for the

thousand peasant households. The work is done in the isbas or small log fair sox by being discreetly quiet and

keeping their eyes to themselves.
