A Bnlimi That Brings Large Returns end Requires More Than Mechanical ■kill—A Compliment Cost Her a situa tion. ' The commonly accepted Idea that the women who All positions of stenogra phers ere usually women of low-grade business ability, and that their work is wholly and simply mechanical, may be very easily dispelled by looking Into the dally affairs and experiences of some of those who are employed in hotels and other large and publlo buildings of this city. The hotel stenographers of St. Louis are said to be above the averaxe repre sentative women of the craft, and this belief has very good grounds upon which to rest, for they are, for the most part, women who have had sufficient business experience to make them fully capable to handle correspondence of all sorts; and, indeed, this Is an absolutely neces sary qualification for the woman who wishes to be successful in this particu lar line of stenographic work. The dictation that comes to the hotel stenographer Is as varied as could pos sibly be imagined, says the St. Louis Republic. One day perhaps she may take down what the patent medicine man says about hla “sugar-coated” pills, and the next day, or the next hour even, from the lips of the orator, who Is, or the orator who would like to be, distinguished for elegant and polished speech, a harangue that It keeps her wits as well as her pencil busy trying to follow. The commercial traveler who sells all grades of wine, the Iron merchant who has a thousand and one names for as many different ores, and, In fact, men who represent every kind of business under the sun, hurriedly dictate their letters, and expect, too, that they shall be properly transcribed on the type writer. To do this the typewriter must be more or less familiar with the typical terms of each line of business, as well as knowing how to spell and punctuate correctly. More than an ordinary amount of common sense and good xMQtilvlIV UtUDV aiDU UC ^UDDCODCU auu exercised. If In the haste of taking notes a word Is omitted, the stenographer must be intelligent enough to know how to sup* ply it, for it Is not always possible to refer such matters back to the dictator until it is too late to complete the letter for the particular outgoing mail It may have been Intended to catch. There Is yet another thing that the stenographer in public office needs al most as much as she does a thorough knowledge of business, and that Is tact. It would never do for her to hand back a letter to the man who had dictated it and tell him any little error he may discover Is his own. The only way for her to get out of such a thing as this is to graciously admit that more than like ly she misunderstood him. If it is his own error and he knows It, he may not admit to her that It was, but he all the more admires her generosity In shoul dering the blame, and remembers her, most profitably to herself, when he needs further stenographic work done. Then there is a strange social phase of life that comes more before the notice of women In this particular line of work, perhaps, than In any other, and this, too, she must school herself to meet. "Has It ever occurred to you," said one of these bright typists who has a desk In one of the largest hotels of the city, “how very many men there are so unfortunate as to be unhappily mar ried? That Is, according to the stories the poor fellows seem so willing to In flict we poor hotel stenographers with.” If the last man who had told this sensible little woman his “tale of woe" had been near to see the mirth It had provoked, he would, no doubt, have been ashamed to think he had proved such a poor judge of human nature for one and woven such a weak bit of senti mentality for her to only laugh over. In the office of a wealthy business corporation, not long ago, the chief clerk found it necessary to dictate a let ter to the lady stenographer that was afterward to be passed Into the hands of the manager for signature. He irood naturedly accepted the task he had found so agreeable, and promptly pro ceeded with It, Standing behind her chair he began his dictation. All went well until the letter was about half way completed, then the gentleman, who had his eyes fixed on the young lady's soft, wavy coll of hair, thought he would pay her a nice little compliment. "What very pretty hair you have. Miss Blank." Miss Blank smiled, but said nothing. The letter was finished and handed to the manager: He, glancing over It, dis covered a sentence entirely foreign to the subject matter of the epistle. In the very middle of the page. When Miss Blank was called In to explain she opened her big blue eyes In a sort of wondering fashion and said: "Why, X only put down Just what Mr. Brown said." Miss Blank was excused from further explanation, but the quality and quan tity of laughter that was thrust upon Mr. Brown was more than that gentle man could stand, and It soon became a question as to who should give up a position and leave the office—he or Miss Blank; and the-matter finally termi nated when Miss Blank quietly handed In her resignation. The women who have their desks In hotels or office buildings pay a certain percentage or bonus for the privilege, and spend as many hours a day or night there as they may see fit. As a rule they find It necessary to remain until quite late, for a great deal of their dicta tion to given after business hours, so aa to have it ready by the morning of the next day. It to quite the exception now to go to any city and fall to find a stenographer In all the large hotels and public build ings. Women have found that If they have the ability they can make these positions pay them better than the ordi nary salary received by stenographers In Individual offices.

Absolutely pure Tobacco In South Carolina. | Ten years sgo not a pound of tobac co was grown in South Carolina for i market. There were stray patches here and there, and forehanded people in some of the upper counties of the state possibly produced enough of a not superior quality to supply a strictly home demand, but tobacco growing ns a money making industry was un known in the state. Last yenr 1,000, 000 pounds of tobacco of tlie best vari eties and somo of the finest quality were grown and sold In the county of Darlington alone. The acreage devo ted to the cultivation of the plant was not 5 per cent of the acreage devoted to the cultivation of cotton, yot the value of the tobacco product was 10 per cent of the valuo of all tho cotton raised in the county. The money value of the tobacco crop of the county was 9130,000.—Charleston Nows and Cour ier. _ Whal a UleesTng It Is to have strong nerves, und bow many are dented it.

It has been shown that starchy mixtures, milk and many other foods recognized as being highly nutritious, arc, in fact, sure donth to the growth of hair, Chemical analysis proves that hair is composed of A per cent of sulphur nnd and its ash; of SO per cent of silicon and 10 per cent of iron nnd mungonese. The foods which contain the larger percent of the above named elements are meat, oatmeal and graham. Henry pointedly eays; "Nations which eat most heat have the most hair."
