Here are two facts about
the Remington which
every typewriter buyer
should know:
1. The Remington Column
Selector adds 25 per cent, to
ibe letter writing speed of the
typist. This is not a claim or
an estimate. It is a definite fact
—proved and established by any |
number of comparative tests.
2. The Column Selector is a
Remington feature exclusively.
No other machine has it—or
anything like it.
Adds 25 per cent, to the speed
Adds nothing to (he price
Oh, yes, other machines have devices which look like it, with the five
keys, etc. Jt is easy for a salesman, who knows the supreme merit of
•this Remington feature, to call them “column selector” keys. But there
is no other device on any other typewriter which can do wliat the Reming
ton Column Selector does.
The Remington Column Selector
is the only feature on any type
writer which permits instantane
ous setting of the carriage at any
desired point on the line.
It is the only feature which pro
vides this setting by either for
ward or backward movement.
It is the only feature which pro
vides true “express service” with
no stop-to-stop movement in
reaching any writing point.
And these are the features which
make the 25 per cent, speed
gain.
Let us show you the real and
only Column Selector—on the
Model 10 Remington.

Commfl [Himself j
William F. Cofl^ one day engaged
In a spirited lalkfeBt with a white
haired, grey bearded trapper; who
was hy way of toeing the greatest and
most successful liar in the locality.
“Sho, Cody, that there fc’ar story
o’ yours ain’t puppy high to a little
seance I had with an ol’ she grizzly
back some twenty years ago. I come
on that pizen critter at th’ mouth of
a canyon. Zing! 1 plops a shot f’om
my ol’ muzzle loader into her, but
she don't ewn tarry. On she comes
’thout given" me nary chanst t’ load.
I th’ows th’ gun at her, hits her on
th’ snoot an’ takes out up th’ canyon
with th’ ol’ gai plum’ mad, pitty pat
tin’ after roe.
“We runs ter ’bout a mile, she pad
din’ along behind an’ gainin' a.bit.
Them canyon walls kept gettin’ high
er an' smoother an’ narrower ’ntil
they was about a thousan' feet up,
an’ I could tnos’ touch each side. 1
couldn’t a dim” ’em if I’d tried, an’
that she varmint wasn't given’ me
no chanst. ATI Of a suddint th’ path
got still narrerer till me an' the bar
had to most squeeze through, an’
then I came slap into a straight up
wall in front o’ me. There 1 was,
slick as glass walls on three sides
and th' mad b’-ar pitty pattin’ ten
feet in m’ rear. Couldn’t go ahead,
turn round nor go straight up.”
The trapper paused, enjoying the
deep silence of the crowd.
“Yes. But what did your bear do?”
asked Cody.
The old man's face began to take
on the purplish hue of pent emotion.
His features strained and twitched
as his brain sought a way out of his
own mendacious cul-de-sac. Looking
helplessly around and meeting no
friendly glance from the audience, he
finally blurted out:

tmrtti American Money la Made In
Our Mints mt Coat Price.
“Made In the United States" might
ta all truth be stamped on the coins of
nearly a dozen of the countries of Lat
in America In which a shopper would
try in vain to buy merchandise bear
ing that slogan, for, though the Unit
ed States does opt ship great amounts
•of goods to the countries between the
Kio Grande river uud Cape Horn, it
•does supply them with a large part of
their money, says the Washington
Star, and this, tn spite of the Spanish
phrases and foreign emblems Hint it
bears, is the product of Uncle Sam’s
own mlnt6.
Since the authorization to coin money
for foreign countries was given to the
mints by congress in January, 1874.
more than 100.000.000 pieces of gold,
silver and baser metals buve been
minted for countries in North, South
and Central America and the West In
dies and for Hawaii before its annexa
tion.
All foreign minting, by the United
States is done at a price that just cov
ers the cost There are two reasons
for the government engaging in the
business. It puts this country in a po
sition to do neighborly acts, and it al
lows us to keep our coining equipment
and fopce of operatives busy during
periods when it would otherwise be
necessary to suspend operations. The
decreasing need for mints with our
vast aeeumulatious of coins, the growth
of banking and the use of [taper mon
ey is shown by the fact that of the
seven mints that have been In exist
ence in the history of the country only
three are now equipped for turning out
coins, the others having been either
abandoned or turned into assay offices.
DIVORCE IN SCANDINAVIA.
It Is Very Easy to Obtain, and It Does
Not Cost Anything.
In Scandinavia divorce by mutual
consent is the recognized way. And
husband and wife may reach this agree
ment when neither has violated any
marital obligation. The law. you see.
does not require them to wait until one
has wronged the other. But when they
have reached the point where they two
know that their real union is ended
they may secure a divorce for the ask
ing. It doesn’t cost anything. There
is not even a lawyer needed. The proc
ess is simple. You notify a magistrate
that you are separating. You are not
required to go into details. You don't
have to spread your marital troubles
on wourt records and newspaper pages
One reason is as sufficient here as
when you entered into matrimony
You simply state that you no longer
wish to continue the marriage. Then
one party to the contract goes away
for a year—in Finland it Is for only
three mouths. At the end of the pe
riod the magistrate hands you the pa
pers that dissolve the marriage as
quietly as it was made.
if, as rarely happens, mutual consent
through the refusal of one of the con
trading parties cannot be secured the
process is a little longer, the probation
ary period of one year being extended
to two. But there is always a way
out Sweden has no less than twelve
grounds for divorce. It is accomplish
ed in as dignified a way as any other
partnership might be dissolved.—Mabel
Potter Daggett in Pictorial Review.
Baths In Finland.
One of the greatest trials a visitor in
Finland has to endure is a Finnish
bath. The method of procedure is
unique. Divested of outer clothing
and attired in a light and airy cotton
garment, you are slung In a Bort of
hammock composed of cord above a
large receptacle like the boilers in pub
lic laundries. This is almost filled
with cold watqr, into which at the
right moment is flung a large redbot
brick or piece of iron, which, of course,
causes an overwhelming rush of steam
to ascend and almost choke you. Then
when that process has gone on suffi
ciently long you are shaken out of your
hammock, immersed in cold water, and
after very drastic treatment you re
sume your raiment, sadder and wiser
than before your novel experience.
The Cocoa Plantation.
A traveler In South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which if very strong is
fatal to them. To secure this protec
tion the planters shield them by ba
nana trees and plantain trees, the
broad leaves of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which is given by trees known as “im
mortels.” or. as the planters call them,
“the mother of the cocoa.” Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has a sort of
canopy.
The Member For Calais.
There was a time when Calais was
represented In the English parliament.
It was In the reign of Henry VIII.
Chat Calais was granted the right to
send Its representative to Westmister.
and the names of some of Its members
have been preserved. Its last'sitting
member, for Instance, was one Ed
mund Peyton, alderman of Calals.

“Don’t you find it an awful expense
to have three marriageable daughters
on your hands?”

ginning to think they're not marriage
able.”—Pittsburgh Press.
