America tings with praise and ap

new typewriter type has attraci-d
mote attention than any typewriter
innovation brought out recent years
Hundreds of thousands of peoph
have seen this new type and wond
ered what it was that made prin
type correspondence seem like a
spoken message. There’s virility,
strength and charm in printype cor
respondenee. There’s refinement
and “ciass” and style. Not pecause
of its novelty —i: 's inhen nt re tyi
A Vast Improvement
Printype is designed in shaded let
ters and numeral, like the type in
whice books and r.agazin* ■ ere
printed. It is book type transformed
and adopted to modern typewriter
requirements.

Printype resulted from our discovery i
that “outline’’ type, with its same
ness, due to absence of shading,
was harmful to the eyes.
■ The Silenf Tess
For months, without any advertis- !

It camo in a burst of admiration and
flood of . s that provi prin

letters, wherever seen, excited the
keenest interest Business men who ;
received their first printype letter
almost inva: iably answered, post

Thus printype captured the. country
without firing a single shot.

REAL USE FOR QUEUE
QUITE GOOD REASONS WHY
CHINAMAN CHERISHED IT.
Was Believed to Promote Health, and
Certainly Was a Protection to
the Head,Both in Summer
and Winter.
A great many people have, no doubt,
wondered just why the Chinese should
cultivate queues. It has been claimed
' that the queue was sacred to them,
j that It was a disgrace to injure those
: long braids of shiny black hair, just
! as it was considered nearly’a sacrilege
| in Bible times to injure the beard.
No doubt, the Chinaman took pride
' In his long braid of hair, because his
; fathers before him took (wide in it,
I but, according to several authorities
who have long studied the customs
and history of China, and the Chinese,
there were other reasons tor the
queue, and apparently quite good rea
sons at that.
In the first place, the Chinaman be-
Ifeyed, that it was far more healthful
to wear big head shaven, except at
the top of his head, and let it grow In
a long mass to be braided. One be
lief wns that wearing the hair in this
manner increased the circulation of
blood in- tire brain and therefore made
the Chinaman healthier and keener.
. Then again, during cold weather the
queue could be braided about the
head, giving the proteetiofi of a thick
warm cap: And in extremely hot
weather the queue was again braided
abo‘ut the top of the h< ad. this time to
protect, the wearer from sunstroke.
The long queue is also used as a
sort of neck-clothi, to wrap about th*
neck, and it is bound loosely on the
back of the head to .serve an a pillow
at night. Perhaps one of the most pe- :
culiar uses attributed to it is in sud- |
den illness or injury, especially in the
old days of warfare when swords were
the general weapons. Then it was
used as a turnijuet to bind about the
Injury and prevent too great a loss
of blood.
It was for these reasons as well as
for any reasons of sentiment or relig
ion that the Chinamen hesitated so ।
long before agri. .1 to : verifier their '
oireues, but-it is evi'leet that the CUS- '
■ 1 of v.. rw >t what
n.i-ht be termed . ot.-li li habit," as
it was really made to serve a number i
of uses.

Fable 0' a Dog That Misunderstood, i
Once there was a motley little yel-.
low dog that was picked up in tho
street by a kind man. The man, feel- i
ing sorry for him and being afraid
no one else would be good to such
a homely cur, kept him and bought
him a handsome collar and treated
him so well that the dog soon began ‘
to strut and grew very proud and
vain.
‘‘Surely,’’ he said to the house cat,
I "I must be a very fine dog to be so
, much admired and petted,” and with ■
; that he began to bark at the solemn
old Persian cat, which ignored him
entirely.
"She Is rather a well trained old
thing,” thought the dog. ‘‘She knows
enough not to talk back to her bet
ter'.”
Then he ran out in the street and
barked at a beautiful horse that was
passing tho house, but .neither’ the
driver nor the horse paid any atten
| tion to him.
“Ah,” said tho dog, “I must be a
i very fine dog, indeed —they, too, real
ize they must not reprove their su
periors.”
Moral: To the conceited all signs
i are compliments.
Romantic Salute.
The young lieutenant in his trim
and elegant uniform sainted in the
‘ stiff and yet somehow graceful mili
tary manner, a pretty matron, promen
'admg the hotel piazzi at Old Point
Comfort.
i "The military salute,” he said, “Is
peculiarly appropriate to you, madam.
i Do you happen to know, its origin?”
: “No.”
“Well, its origin goes back to the
da-s of chivalry, to the tournaments
of the Middle Ages. In those tourna
ments tire knights before the combat
began rode past the queen of beauty
on her throne. As they caracoled by :
her they simultaneously brought the
hand to a horizontal position above
the brows, then dropped it to the side
agaiii—a genuine military salute. And
■ this they did, in their chivalrous way,
to protect their eyes from the blinding
rays of the queen of beauty’s loveli
ness,? That, madqm, is the origin of
the military salute, and that is why
: the military—salute is sa appropriate
to one like you.”
The message caught at Arlington, ‘
Va., from the Eiffel tower, In Paris,
shows that the possibilities of the
, wireless are practically limitless. The
. girdling of the earth by the power of
• man will soon be more than a poetic
fiction.
