Without rapid accurate operators, who know how to keep a. necret, who are well educated and capable of Intelligent Inter est In he work, the advantage of the typewriter are greatly lessened. Were it not so there would be no excuse for this article. Men or women which? That is the first Question confronting; the employer ' who wants his stenographic work dons -at'onomlcally nd well. It's a big question too. ami I1U'' thut ought not to be con sidered settled by the mere fact that the bulk of this work Is done by women. Htenogrnphy opened the office door for women, und young and old they rushed in to take up this clean, pleasant employ ment for which In many ways they are extremely well adapted. Once Inside they were not slow to extend their held of iictlvlty to bookkeeping, correspondence and other linewhlch for years had leen exclusively for men. To-day over 100,000 women are employed In downtown New York offices, writes H. J. Hapgood in System, and In every city they are to be fotind In the thick of the commercial fight. The Introduc tion of stenography iind typewriting was the original cause of this feminine in vnnlon. Of lute years, however, the tide seems to lie turning. There la a growing belief that men make better stenographers than women and are worth the larger salaries they command. Many large companies have adopted the policy of using only male stenographers and others are plan nlgn to take the step in the near future. Women will always he preferred by many firms. For rout In work, such us addressing envelopes, Milling In form let ters, they ure undoubtedly better than men.

The . original Instrument was Dresumablv ' the- aimole reed, or shepherd's pipe, which was well known to the Trojans, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. But the strain of blowing thstao nnri.nl ninsui Sana HO great s that some genius conceived the idea of hav ing a reserve supply of wind in a , bag attached to the pipes; and hence : the bagpipe. The first real Tmrtrument is believed to linve tirmn u akin' Of tt goat or kid, with two pipes, through, one of wmcn tne taa was innateo, uw wncr emitting the sound. In early times the oagpipe wa common in ureal onuun and abroad. At" one time there were five dlfTernnt Irtnda known on the , con tinent, some inflated by the mouth .and others by bellowa, while in the British Iles three kinds were known me great Highland bagpipe, the Lowland bag pipe of Scotland fwhlch closely resem bled the Northumberland) and the Irish bagpipe; In. the urea Highland oag pipe, whioh originally had but one drone, a valved tube leads from the mouth to an airtight bag. which ha four other orifice, three lame enough to contain the base of three Axed long tubea termed drones, ana anotner smaller, to which is fitted the chanter. The three are thrown on the shoulder, while the latter Is held In the hands. All four pipes are fitted with reeds, but of different kinds. The drones are tuned by nieinn of slider, or movable Joints, and this tuning or preparation for play ing, which gen")nl'y occupies a few min utes of the piper's time before he be gins the tune proper. Is heard with im patience by those not accustomed to the InKtrument. Indeed, it gave rise to the suying. applied in Scotland to those who w.'mto time over small matters: " You tire longer in tuning your pipes than in playing vour tune." The Scottish Rowland bagpipe, like the Northumberland pipe, was In two forms, one consisting of smaller and milder toned edition of the Highland Instrument and the other a mlplature of this and having the same relation to It as the fife him to a German band.
