SHORTHAND WRITING.
Hie Incompetence of Some Per
sons to Learn It.
Very Few of the Many Who Undertake
the Study Ever Become Proficient
. Horace Greeley and the
, . Stenographer.
There is a griotl deal of nonsense writ
ten and tsilkeil, both, by those wholrnow
and by tho;i.s who don't, concerning the
possibilities and actual achievements oi
shorthand -.vritin'r. Xot long- ago an
elderlv woman, aeeoinnanied bv a child
oi apparently about thirteen years o
age, appeared before a justice at the
Jefferson Market police court and tolc
a pitiful tale. She saitl that she was a
widow nnd that the child was her oiilj
daughter; that in order to procure some
employment for the girl she had beer
induced to send her to a school of type
writing and shorthand. She had paic
to the professor sixty-dollars of hei
hard earnings and had been informed
and ue-lieved that at the conclusion of 8
few months' tuition tins child would bt
able to earn a fair salary. The pro
fessor, however, had failed to carry ou?
his agreement, and at the conclusion 03
the tuition she found herself with hei
money gone and no probability of tht
fulfillment of the promises which hac
been made to her. She was informec
by the justice that if she had any
remedy at all it was in a civil suit foi
damages for breach of contract.
The experience of this child, says tht
New York Sun, is but a repetition oJ
the experiences of by far the largei
number of those who attempt to lean
shorthand writing.. It is a fact that but
a very few of those who begin to learr
ever sueeeed in becoming competent
stenographers. The experience detailed
so graphically and amusingly by Charier
Dickens m the story of "David Copper
field." which is said, io be in fact tht
experience of Dickens himself, is a fail
sample of the difficulties with which
the learner has to contend. Few per
sons, indeed, have the requisite perse
verance to continue the much-needeo
practice in the face of discouraging re
suits, which is essential before pro
ficieucy can possibly be reached.
Many of these failures might have
been predicted from the utart, because
of the utter disqualification of the
lcarntr on account of the lack of the
preliminary study

stenographer. Jl
'.i 1 that the .sub
jects wni.-h m:v pi.i:--Uiv be presented
for accurate reportiii;r comprise' the en
tire field of liiunnn l:nrvledge. There
is no department of jseicnee, literature
o art which may uot some time or
othe.- appe;.r in the course of speeches,
of ar.Tumeiits, f lectures, of briefs, oi
dissertations, of debates, or of dictation.
Thnvo is. of course, no ftenosrranhei
wno is so thoroughly familiar v.-itu in-
vocabulary even of his own Ui.:ijru:i:-. ii
all departments of study, as t K:
on the spur of the moment to ivjm t : e
enrately all kinds of scientific iv tier.
There are, in fact, but very few i" iki
most reliable stenographers in this oi
any other country who can be rc-liei
upon to give a. verbatim report at c
scientific congress. How iutlle. how
foolish, must it be, then, for mere chil
dren, for persons without even the
rudimentary elements of education, tc
undertake to qualify themselves for r.r.el
a business. And yet there are sl:orth::ut
schools and professors of slsorthanc
that take the money of pupils who jt
tempt thi3 impossible task, when it i:
known at the beginning t'.iat the moni'j
so expended is really thrown away bj
the pupils.
It was related of the late floract
Greeley that upon one occasion an in
competent stenographer w:i's cmloycf
by him to take at dictation' a v-ei.itiea:
speech. Jlr. Greeley talked away will,
great earnestness and volubility- t:;von a
subject with which he ontivelj

and past generation. refcrriiv- t; vari

he had reeled off,, as he s-a-p .):: d, -i eon

rors and omissions and m's-ipcH-ug oi
names and mbiupuvhtfl,-iit.i of what
Mr. Greeley had said that it entirely
useless, and with that force for which
Mr. Greeley was renowned among those
who knew him, the founder of the
Tribune exclaimed: ''What the. deuee
is stenography worth?"
There are limit:. to shorthand. Kvery
honest stenographer will admit that nc
person is able to report the most rapid
speakers or to follow with accuracy an
argument which consists of many refer
ences to scientific books and contains
quotations which must be accurately re
corded. In practice, wherever a speakej
makes r.se of 'many quotations, particu
larly of pot; try or of statistics, the sten
ographer is always anxious to be sup
plied with the quoted parts. Among
the verv best stenosrrapliers the prao

wife who was threatened with pneumonia

various other remedies and several phy

re De-
vice Hindoo Fatalism.
Not eyen Kipling can do more than
hint at the awful problems of India." It
is one thing to read of its conditions,
says a. writer in the Boston Transcript;
it is another to face . them. I wish I
could tell you what the journey to Tel
ega from the coast was like my first
introduction to India. Fifty miles
and a two days' journey! If we take
two miles an hour it is counted good
speed. Sand and sun, a glare above
and a glare beneath.

vegetation; the trees look pestilence- . tne comparatively small gToup of men
stricken. There never comes a time j whom the profession sought specially
when they seem to renew their leaves, j to honor. These unexpected atten
though sometimes we used to think tions were all the result of a word
they moulted; the old leaves rattle off, j from Mr. Field.
and still there are leaves, but they
never look new.
rs T .vAnl,. t
ing of my own part of India; near the
rank vegetation of the, jungle it is
doubtless different. And one day is
like another; a year like another; a
thousand years like another thousand
.years. The impassive native, sinning
the calf skin that his cow may be de
ceived and let down milk, might bo his
own immemorially great-grandfather,
for all the advance he has made on his
grandfather's habits of mind or body or
eonL Yon don't know what I mean by
stuffing the calf? They believe the cow.
will give no milk unless the calf takes
first its share; so when a calf dies they
stuff it with weird results, I cc.or.rc
you and solemnly lead the cow . to
where this appalling caricature is
propped up on sticks every night before
they milk her. " ' . .
As she flushes and laughs, looks up
and then down, and turns, her head con
sciously aside, one feels that there can
be but little admiration about her ex
cept her beauty, if that ia no important
to her that a mere reference to it in her
presence moves her so easily.
The Hindoo fatalism ere tends even to
the intellectual side of life- In gram
mar with them, as in destiny, a thing is
so because it is so; fatalism kills out
reason as it kills out spiritual effort and
aspiration. I shall never forget trying
to get an explanation from a Hindoo
teacher of finding, in some of then
writings, a plural substantive mated to
a singular verb. ' .
"Why does not this plural noun take
a plural verb?"
"Because it takes a singular verb."
"Why?"
. "Because it is right that it should do
o."
"Why wouldn't it be right that it
should take a plural verb?"
"Because it would be wrong."
"But I thought plural substantives
always took plural verbs?"
"They do."
"Yet this one does not."
"No, this one does not."
" "What rule iroverns it, then?"
"There is no rule. It does so becansa
It is right that it should do so."

Mr. Field was there as an honored

to find not only that he received tick

ITS TERRITORY.
It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agricultural
and grazing country, its trade reaching as far south as Summer
Lake, a distance of over two hundred miles.
The Largest Wool Market.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Oaa
oades furnishes pasture for thousands of sheep, the wool from
which finds market here.
. The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping point in -America,
about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding
this year a revenue of thousands of dollars, which will be more
than doubled in the near future.
. The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market
here, and the country south 'and east has this year filled the
. warehouses, and all available storage places to overflowing with
their products.
ITS WEALTH.
It is the richest city of its size on the coast and its money is
scattered over and is being used to develop more farming country
than is tributary to any other city in Eastern Oregon.
