REPORTING TRIALS.

POSITIONS THAT DEMAND THE BEST

SHORTH AND WRIT ERS. To Do « ! Work the Stenographer Must Know Something of the Case In Ad- vance-—-(irave Stesporsibilities That Ac- |

company the Empicyment.

There are thousands of shorthand writ- ers, but of first Class, gilt edged stenogra- phers who can go into court and report a trial with accuracy and a thorough under standing of the situation the number will not exceed a score. Out of these there is one woman who is thoroughly competent.

As a musician who aspires to be called guch should be able to read at sight and play any music that may be set before him, so the first class stenographer should be and is capable of following literally the speech of the most rapid talker and ean read his notes afterward as easily as he could read the letters on a signboard. In court work there is much that makes the work partake of a technical nature. The law terms, the peculiar phraseology of the courts, is something which it takes years for men to familiarize themselves with, and a great many of the lawyers are men who pour out a perfect torrent of words in their arguments to the court or jury.

The first thing that a stenographer must do when he starts in to report a case is to get the theory of both sides as to the case. Often one stenographer is engaged to take the case for both sides, and he must famil- iarize himself with the case from the dif- ferent standpoints in order to report the ease intelligently. It is not merely manu- al dexterity that is required. There must be quickness of apprehension to a marked degree endan unwearying and keen at- tention paid to the in all its details.

In taking cown what goes on there is considerable that should be omitted from the proceedings, and this is where the stenograupher's judgment comes into play. The lawyers do not wish to have the record lumbergd up with the little side remarks of witrlesses or interpolations of the court, and yet they do not want anything omit- ted on which a possible objection could hang.

A jadge may make a remark which does not have any particular significance ina trial, and a witness is apt to follow up an answer by a subsequent qualifica- tion which muy have much to do with the matter in hand. Tie wary stenographer

and the good one separates the wheat from the chaff, and what is relevant and im- portant he sets down. What is immaterial he ignores. Of course in the evidence he takes the questions and answers literally. And im the taking of the testimony he must always be cn the alert, for here the lawyers may get into a dispute as to what awitness said in regard to some other point in tho testimony, and it may be nec- essary to go back several pages to find out the truth of the matter. This the stenog- rapher must be able to do without the slightest hesitation, remembering just about in the testimony where the matter came up and reading the notes without the slightest hesitation or inaccuracy. Per- septive faculties of a high order are neces- sary to the success of a stenographer and an active brain and excellent memory.

Given the intellectual foundation to be- gin with, and itis possible for a man te become a fairly good shorthand writer in five or six years. Constant practice is nec- essary to keep in trim for court work, and, inspite of the fact that se much legal business is done, the demand for experts is al ways in excess of the supply.

The @urt stenographer’s work iscoupled with not only a sense of great responsibil- ity, but a very high degree of confidence is of necessity placed in him by the men who employ his services. The appealing of cases to the appellate and supreme courts, necessitating the working over of all the evidence and the arguments in the ease, must depend, as far as the ground for argument and the true status of the tase is concerned, on the stenographie re- ports. Itis one of the professions where the hand and the brain combine te pro- dace results, and the first class expert is more truly born i nan made.

It is one thing to be able te write down the port of a trial and quite another thin to dictate correctly from the steno- gra:..ic notes to a typewriter. Some men are ooly fair at reporting a trial, but get ont excellent transcripts of the evidence, Whit others are “chain lightning” at the trial, but uncertain when they get back to their offices and commence to make copy. The case hardened expert will take a trial, Put away the report for six weeks and then take the shorthand books and reel off the contents without a break as fast as a typewriting operative can drum it off on the machine.

A great deal of work is.done at night by the shorthagd men. So mych of phat is

taken down at a trial on one asy ts needes on the succeeding day that the lawyers generally keep up with the evidence as. it is brought out, and this keeps the short- hand people on the move. Work in the courts is done at a high tension of the nerves and brain, and not an instant is the stenographer’s mind permitted to in- dulge in day dreams, for any form of mental ‘‘wool gathering’’ would be fatal to faithful work. Concentration is an in- dispensable requisite to success.—Chicago Chronicle.

Monkeys That Wear Shawls.

In certain districts in east Africa, es- decially in the forest of Kilimanjaro, there is a race of monkeys which have actually developed the wearing of shawls.

They do not steal them, however, and wear them through having seca men do this. On the contrary, these shawls are a provision of nature and are merely another exemplification of the law that animals develop certain peculiarities in accordance with their need to become less conspicuous in the forests or places in which they live.

These monkeys belong to a group of thumbless apes which are to be found only in Africa and are called by the natives guereza. They have a black; tail, from which depends a beautiful white brush, while the whole of the hair of the back of the animal, which is long and silky and white, hangs over the sides of the body and over the front and hind legs as well, thus giving it the peculiar appearance of wearing a shawl.—-Strand Magazine.

Didn’t Like the Saw Edges.

When the government issued the first perforated stamps a few of the good folk living in the country were so bound by conservatism that they placed the stamps on their letters only after they had clipped off the perforations. They had been using smooth cut stamps for many years and they did not propose that any newfangled arrangement should have encouragement from them. They were so accustomed to seeing the trimmed stamps that the perfo- rated ones did not have the proper appear- ance.—Chicago Record.

Specicial Colors for Cotton and Mixed Goods Prepared Only By the Manufacturers of Diamond Dyes.

When yon decide to dye cotton goods or goods composed ef wool or cotton, or cot- ton and silk, use the Fast Diamond Dye special colors for Cotton and Mixed Goods.

The using of soap grease and imitation package dyes will only cause ruin and dis- appointment. Soap greace and imitiation dyes, sold by some dealers, are eupposed to be all round dyes. Thisis a misleading and deBeptive statement, and gives a vast amount of trouble to the home dyer. Cot- ton is a vegetable fibre and requires a spe - cial dye. These specially prepared and warranted dyes are ouly found in the “Diamond” family. Common dyes—three- fourths grease and one-fourth weak coloring matter—cannot give strong and permanent color to your carpet rags and other cotton goods. Diamond Dyes have sixteen special colors for Cotton and Mix- ed goods; every merchant and dealer should have the full essortment of colors. Diamcnd Cyes bring pleasure, succoss and profit to the use at all times.

Collected and Sold to Dealers, Who Fit Them Up to Sell Again. New shoes were never 80 cheap as thoy

are now, but there are sold nevertheless in this city many secondhand shoes, for thers arg many people who want to pay cvon less for shoes than the lowest price of new ones. There are many places where sec- ondhand shoes are sold. They are iound on the east side and on the west sice of

town, usually pretty well over toward tho rivers.

Secondhand shoes ere collected by ned- Glors and others, who sell them to deniers, Dccasionally a man who has a pair of shoes that don’t suit him or that he has worn as much as he wants to takes them to a dealer in secondhand shoes and sells them, just as he might sell secondhand clothes. In this way it might happen that

rair of fine shoes in good condition would be found in a secondhand shop. Vie great bulk of shoes, however, is made up of those collected by the people who make a business of it.

The dealer in secondhand shoes is urnal- ly a shoemaker and ropairer and most hkely to be found in a basement. He buys secondhand shoes of a collector, or it may be that if he gets outof shoes he buys ef the larger dealers in the neighborhood of Daxter street. If the shoes he gets re- quire it, he puts them in order, very iike- ly to the extent of resoling and rehecling. The purchaser of secondhand shoes wants them very cheap. About the lowest price at which they are sold by a dealer is 70 cents a pair. Such shoes might be in fair condition, but they would perhaps bs patched. From that the prices run up to $1.25, at which figure the purchaser ex- pects to get a very good pair of shocs, sound and whole and resoled and rehocled and in good condition generally. Occa- sionally there is sold a pair of secondhand shoes for $2 or $2.50, but this is very ex- ceptional.—New York Sun,

PIGEONS SHOW THEIR TRAINING,

Large Flocks of the Birds That Perform Wonderful Evolutions.

Remarkable as are the results of train- ing as exhibited in the specd of modern pigeons, they do not compare with the wonderful evolution performed by these birds in the last centuries in Italy. There were at that time men who devoted them- selves to pigeon training, and the art was supposed to find its perfection in certain families and to be handed down from generation to generation. The art con- sisted in training large flocks of pigeons to abey their owner and to perform certain evolutions in the air. In the earliest days in India birds were trained to fight oppos- ing bands. When a pigeon tournament was in progress, the owners ascended some lofty buildings and conducted the performance by the aid of flags, and in obedience to their signals flocks of birds of different color would wheel, rise, dive and intermingle to separate again and go through a number of interesting move- ments that were remarkable for their beauty. Prizes were offered for the nivst beautifully novel figures.

In India, in early times, where the sport of pigeon flying originated, the ob}. ct of the flights was often a sanguinar, one, the owners of the various flocks ends. vor- ing to accomplish the destruction of the others. Thus, the birds of one band won)ld carry bombs with a fuse hanging to their claws, and at the command of their mas- ters would sweep down over their 0; ».- nents and the bomb would drop among them and explode. Others bore sharp knives, two edged, suspended from their claws, and were made to dash among: t heir antagonists and endeavor to cut them to pieces, an easy matter when birds wore in rapid motion, Today the triganiv:i, as they are called, of Modena deyote thom- selves to harmless pursuits and are satis- fled when watching the wonderful evolu- tions of the birds through the air.—New York Post.

The Snake In the Bible.

Mythology teaches us that the serpent has been worshiped asa god, represi ni ing viciousness, deceit, ‘he devil, guile and

deception. By comrson consent it repre- sents a liar or seducer or deceiver. }!oses represented the enake as a liar. In per-

suading Eve to disobey God's com mand and injunction not to eat the fruit o1 life and knowledge it told a Hie without bene- fit to itself and used its persuasive powers to mislead Eve, that she and Adam would be like God, although not sure or positive of that fact. The first pair only ol): .ined some limited knowledge and thai they must make the first advances in civiliza- tion and procure clothing to proteet .hem- selves against heat and cold.

Why the serpent was so hard punished for telling the lie, which was no bencfit to it, can only be accounted for by ti.« idea that Moses wanted to impress upon man that it is beneficial neither to self norte ethers to promise a reward for doing a certain thing when no reward wou) fol- low. The second instance where the svuake appears in history was when the Lord commanded Moses to go to the king of Egypt and deliver his message to release the Jews from bondage. Then Moses pleaded to be excused on account of bis weakness in speech. Had the Lord tested Moses as he did Abraham?

Moses, full of faith, was ready to do what the Lord commanded. He was teld to throw down his staff. It would become aserpent. Moses became frightencc and scared. Still, when the Lerd told him te take hold of the snake by its tail, he sub- mitted at once and showed his perfect trust in God and his word. He was no-

woore afraid.—Minorah Monthly. .
