REDHOT HAYMAKINQ,
One Amateur"! Experience Wm Complete
and Satisfactory In One Day.
The hottest experience I ever met
with in the country was the day I help
ed to make hay. The farmer began to
call us shortly after midnight, and after
a long siege of intermittent yelling he
succeeded in his design of getting us out
of bed several hours before it was neces
sary. It was then 9 a. m. About two
hours later we had had our breakfasts
and were entering the hayfleld.
When one gets into trouble, the open
ing scenes are always alluring. A gor
geous sunrise was in full swing in the
east. The dew lay on the grass, and the
air was cool and invigorating. I could
not but agree with the poets that the
scent of the new mown hay was very
inspiring. I felt like a colt and was keen
to jump into the sport
The first heat consisted in bunching
the hay after the rake, which the farmer
himself drove about the field with many
loud "gees" and "haws," but few
"whoas." The old rascal took a fiend
ish delight in crowding us. It began to
look a little like work.
When the hay was all hunched, tha
high ladder wagons were driven into the
field. Being a novice, I was assigned the
duty of loading. I stood upon the wagon
and built the load as the hay was pitch
ed to me theoretically, but on me actual
ly. The first dose knocked all the poetry
out of me.
The blazing snn had sucked up all the
dewdrops and was now high in the
east He seemed to focus his scorching
rays on the wagons, and the hay crackled
and sizzled about me like frying fat It
was noon 20 times all at once. I thought
I was becoming liquified. I sank to my
neck in the hay and roasted in a con
centrated oven of absorbed Eolar heat
Not a breeze stirred. No friendly cloud
hovered near to screen the orb of fire. I
vainly tried to fancy I was in the Arctio
ocean and the wagon was a floating ice
berg. The old pitchers, inured to the
heat and the avocation, still fed on the
hay.
We were jerked into the barn from
the frying pan into the fire and I was
there barbecued for half an hour in the
hot beds of the mow.
Out we shot again into the broiling
field. All day long this process of slow
torture continued. It was a little drama
from the snow less land inserted into
real life, the farmer impersonating Ba
ton, the pitchers his archangels and my
self Charon's lost passenger.
But, thank heaven, the farmer wag
no Joshua, and the sun at last complet
ed his trip across the skies and disap
peared beneath the mountain. The next
day my place on the wagon was occu
pied by some other fool Philadelphia

The Bank of Scotland.
The Bank of Scotland, now 200 years
old, naturally sought to encourage Scot
tish industries, and this is shown in the
manufacture of its paper for botes. The
first large notes were made in 1696, 20
shilling notes, as they were termed, be
ing only issued on April 7, 1704. In
1729 the bank's paper was manufac
tured at Giff ordhall, near Haddington.
Attendants had to be present in the
bank's interest, and their account was
paid by the bank. One item was "ale
and bread furnished to the workmen,
10s.," and another for "drink money to
servants, 4 17s. 6L" The items are
suggestive, although it is possible they
only represented drink money in name.
In 1735 the hank got its 20 shilling
banknotes made at Collingtoun Miln
(Colinton mill), and there is an "ao
compt for drink money" in connection
with it. A barber came twice from
Edinburgh to shave the officials and re
ceived 8s. for his professional attend
ance. Green tea must have cost at
this time 24s. per pound, for in the bill ,
a quarter pound sells for 6s. At this
Colinton mill the bank appears to have
kept all the employees in food during
the time the paper was being manufac
tured. A man was engsged 12 days at
the paper mill in dressing meat, and he
cut up in that time 200 pounds of it
Meat and mutton cost only 2d. per
pound in those good old days. A hen is
charged at 84, a duck at 9d, one "sol
Ian goose," Is. 8d. ; a dozen eggs, 3d. ;
six chickens, only Is. 4d., and a wild
fowl, lOd. ; cheese cost 4d. per pound
and bacon 8L per pound. In 1769 the
bank's note paper was made at Red
haugh Miln (Redhall mill). Chambers'

A DREAM.
Oh. it was but a dream I had
While the musician played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissod the glade.
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the oruw.
Our silken sails in lasy folds
Drooped in the breathless breese,
As o'er a field of marigolds
Our eyes swam o'er the seas,
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the island's rim.
And up from out the nnderwold
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June,
And here the glowing, glorious king
Of day ruled o'er the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About his diuduni.
The seagull roeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands -
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs. '

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
Aa Electrical Typewriter That Transmlta
Printed Characters.
The printing telegraph, though a de
vice of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ceaseless
investigation, and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole at
tention in some instances to the trans
mission of messages and the recording
of them in plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those of an
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed in the presence
of the transmitting operator in page
form, and a duplicate of the same print
ed at all the receiving stations on the
line, whether it be a long or short cir
cuit A single transmission prints it
simultaneously in page form ready. for
the compositor's case in all the news
paper offices of many cities.
It is said to differ materially from all
other known means of telegraphy in one
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the instruments, whereas in other
systems the instruments move the im
pulse that is to say, the transmitter of
the message is caused to run by a sepa
rate power. No combination of elec
trical impulse or currents is employed.
An even succession of dots or impulses,
which operate the polarized relay arma
ture at the receiving station, places the
revolving type wheel in the required
position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed.
The apparent impossibility of trans
mitting printed characters 600 or 1,000
miles over a single wire at once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome in
this system, it is asserted, in a very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by a certain number of
impulses, which revolve the type wheel
to the required position, when the let
ters are struck by the local mallet. .
Fourteen impulses represent the en
tire alphabet, making a complete revolu
tion of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. Its advan
tage also is that of absolute secrecy as a
means of communication. The advan
tage of the printing telegraph for the
transmission of news to the newspaper
offices is unquestionably a subject com
manding attention on the part of pro
gressive proprietors. Paper and Press.
Too Much Machinery.
"Do you know the curse of modern
journalism?" asked an old journalist
the other day.
"It's the typewriter. It destroys orig
inality. It gives to everything thatf is
written a mechanical touch. There's
no style or individuality about anything
composed on a typewriter.
"You will find that the newspaper
writers in all the larger offices use type
writers. The use of them has extended
in many other directions. Mgr. Sotolli
has one. But wherever you find a man
writing on one and composing as he
writes you will find that his work is
cramped, mechanical, unimaginative,
without the slightest touch of fancy or
vitality.
"Go into the offices of the big dailies
and you will find the young men who
make the papers seated at a typewriter,
grinding out columns of colorless, un
readable stuff for the paper. Yon can't
turn out thought by machinery, and the
young men who write their matter for
the press on typewriters never rise above
the level of mediocrity. Go into the
composing rooms of the big dailies, too,
and you will find the printers setting
type by machinery. No style about that
It's straight, stiff, formal, unattractive,
without any individuality. It takes the
human touch to give the proper life and
color to anything. There's too much
machinery. " Atlanta Constitution.
Geode.
Did you ever see a geode, the ugly,
creamy, yellow, rounded rock, which,
upon being broken open, presents a per
fect wilderness of diamondlike crystals?
They are oddities of the oddest kind,
and are not too plentiful anywhere. The
word "geode" means "earthform" and
is applied to all hollow stones which
are filled with crystallized matter.
When broken open, some are found to be
full of pure looking, clear water. Oth
ers appear to be full of yellow or brown
paint, while a third class are filled with
what appears to be a very fair quality
of tar. No odds what the filling of the
cavity may be composed of, the sides are
always studded with crystals. Should
the filling be yellow the crystals are
likely to be of the same color, but by far
the greater portion of them are as clear
as ice or diamonds. St. Louis Republic.

WAYS OF BUSINESS.
THE MERCHANT WHO CORRECTS
ONLY ONE KINO OF MISTAKE.
A Severe Criticism of the Waye of Shop
keepers and Cashier Tho Steamboat
Clerk Who Said, "We Never Rectify Mis
takes Here."
No one perceives the wisdom, and in
deed the necessity, of accurate book
keeping more fully than your humble
servant, who can't keep books to save
her life and who finds herself approach
ing dementia every time sho endeavors
to balance a cash acconut But why in
all bookkeeping systems, from banks to
the smallest retail shop, is it invariably
the customer who gets cheated if any
body? Tell me, ye winged winds, which
e'er my pathway roll 1 It is useless to
contradict and say that it isn't The
one exception in a thousand years does
not count against the millions of oppos
ing instances. I have lately read the
pathetic account by some recluse, who
never goes shopping, of the bloodthirsty
monsters who take more change than is
due them and stalk out, leaving no ad
dress behind them, little recking the
sufferings of the poorly paid employee
who has to moke good the deficit out of
his or her own pocket Fudge I No such
mistakes occur, or, if they do, they are
rarer than fresh vegetables on a country
table. In all large establishments there
is a hawk headed Horus at the "desk"
waiting to pounce on a mistake in the
customer's favor of 1 cent, and many's
the time every one of us can testify the
little slips have been returned to be cor
rected of mistakes to our credit, while
we fumed.
Thank goodness, there are instances
in which the sharpshooters have wound
ed themselves. Once I was on a "sound"
boat going from New York to Fall River,
and the man at the desk gave me a $5
bill too much in change when paying
after supper. There was something of a
crowd, but that mistake would have
made itself evident to me in a mob. I
dashed back and said, "You've made a
mistake in my change. "
"Can't help that," said the lordly
clerk. "We never rectify mistakes here. "
"Oh, you don't?" retorted the head of
the party. "Well, it will cost you some
thing this time, for you have given us
$5 too much. But if you never rectify
mistakes you aro the loser for once. "
It is foolish to dwell on the sequel,
and I have forgotten it I only remem
ber that the young man, pale and agi
tated, danced in supplication around the
unmoved figure of the stern admonisher
for some minutes. I suppose he got his
money, and I dare say there was no law
upholding one in keeping it, but I hope,
at this distance of time, be didn't. One
day, not long ago, I was at a furnishing
shop in State street, Chicago, buying a
tie. The price was $1.50, and I present
ed the man with a $2 bilL He swung
over the little birdcage on a telegraph
line and it came swiftly back with a 50
cent piece. Seeing another tie for that
price,, I handed back the change and
was about to leave, when a voice came
from the elevated desk at the other end :
"Hi I This half dollar is counterfeit I"
Although it was a public place and I
am a retiring lady, I burst wildly forth
into a clarion shout of joy. It is so sel
dom a modest customer has the chance
of beholding a natural enemy caught
with his own quicklime. The mortifica
tion of the salesman serving me was
nniothing to see. It did me good for a
.hole day. Sending a counterfeit half
dolhir cheerfully and with promptitude
in change and repudiating it on its re
turn tho next minute 1 It was a sharp
gamo aud a little too sharp.
Everybxly who shops much knows
that it is next to impossible to get a
"rotunied" article credited, or, indeed,
called for. If you take two rugs on ap
proval I meotiou rugs because you
can't very woll return them by hand
and stato clearly and plainly and over
and over tho price of the one yon have
kept and the one yon wish returned,
you are more likoly than not to find
both ou your bill tho next month, and
you aro likely to find the rug day after
day littering your hall unless you tele
phone twice a day and end by flouncing
down yourself in a rage and demanding
its instant removal Of course if it is
kept long you are charged with it, any
way. The other night, when it was very
hot, some friends of a lady in moderate
circumstances dining with her suggest
ed a drive in the park. One of the men
telephoned for a landau, and at the end
of the drive paid for it. The next week
the bill came in to the lady. Now of
course this was an accident. But why
doesn't the other accident ever happen?
Why should thousands of bills come in
to be paid twice, while by no oversight
or bad management does a bill ever get
forgotten or overlooked? Money getting,
grasping, greedy generation of shop
keepers I Business is business, if you
like, but business need not be a cut
throat, bloodthirsty system of demand
ing what is not due, need it? Must it be
in this way that men grow rich?
It is because only one kind of mis
takes occur that one is justified in think
ing that only one kind is guarded
against The customer has to look out
for himself and the shopkeeper too. The
shopkeeper only looks out for himself.
As for the breaking of promises, the
calm delays and the superb independ
ence of "purveyors," words fail me
when I attempt to depict their aggrava
tions. Success breeds contempt, it seems,
and the only way to get a thing done
promptly is to patronize a little up town
place where they can't do it Mme.

Against Racing of Liners.
Our Paris correspondent tells us that
the French admiralty is preparing a bill
to put an end to racing by "ocean grey
hounds," a practice which is recognized
in Paris as the chief cause of collisions
and loss of ships on the high seas. The
thirteenth paragraph of the internation
al regulations of 1883 limits the speed
at sea, but it has become a dead letter,
owing to the lack of penal sanction, the
bill of 1891 only dealing with lights
and fog signals. The new bill provides
heavy penalties for excessive speed, even
if put on for a short space of time.

The Trotting Uorao.
There is much logio in what the Now
York Suu says about shorter trotting
races. It is uot an uncommon thing now
(or a horse attached to a sulky to go a
half uudor a two minute gait aud a
quarter at a speed rivaling Salvator's in
his palmy days. When five or six and
sometimes seven aud eight heats aro
trotted very nearly at this pace, the
strain on a horse must be tremendous.
Eveutually he must break dowu under
it It seems likely that in the near fu
ture the trotting race will, as The Suu
says, bo shorter. This year in Buffalo,
however, the old plau will be in opera
tion, except in special contests, aud no
doubt the great majority of horse lovers
will be glad that it is. Buffalo Times.
