Charcoal.
“It looks as if tho charcoal man
would soon becomo a thing of tho
past,” said an old obarcqgl dealer io
a reporter of tho Washington Star a
few days since. “Somehow,” ho con
tinued, “people have forgotten tho
uses and advantages of charcoal.
Customers wlio formerly used a bar
rel or so in a week now do lot got
that much in a couple of months,
and the great majority have given
tip using it altogether. At hotels
where three and four barrels a week
were needed they now manage to
get along without it. But few of tho
modern ranges ore provided with a
charcoal furnace, wliilo in past times
no first class range was complete
without a separate place in which to
burn charcoal. Tho modern cooking
school teachers do not seem to know
that charcoal ever played a part in
the kitchen. As far as I can see now,
the only cooks who use charcoal arc
thoso who learned of its advantages
in days of their apprenticeship years
ago, and who are so old fashioned in
their ways that they will not con
sent to a change. There was once a
time when none of the host eaten
would think of eating a steak that'
was not broiled over charcoal. ” %
Salmon Sometimes Caught at Sea.
The salmon is one of the anadro
mous fishes, of which tho shad and
sturgeon are other examples, anad
romous fishes being thoso that ecu no
from the sea and ascend fresh water
c'Seams to spawn, and return to the
sea again after spawning. It.is not •
known of the shad whether it re
mains in deepwater in the ocean not
very far away from tho river whence
it came or whether it goes south,
but it seems certain that some salm
on, at least, spend their sea life
not far away from their rivers, for
salmon have been caught at sea in
northern waters, off the New Eng
land coast, on hooks baited for cod,
haddock and halibut.—Now York

CHINESE TELEGRAPHY.
Numerals Are Flashed Over the Wire and
Then Translated by a Code.
All tho principal cities of China
Ere connected with one another and
with Peking, the capital, by tele
graph. Eeoont visiters to-v'hina say,
howjvoryvu.w telegraphing there is
a labci iauHurhd'a-: cunonsivo process,
and iiiafvhe .nuns area caiarge upon
the state trea&jK. instead of a source'
cfro.eQuo. j|>
ijesiifa, of course, sent
in h.ineso,- for fin one i:i ninny*
thousands of the natives knows any
language except his own. But tho
Chinese have no alphabet. Their lit
erary characters, partly ideographic,
partly phonetic, number many thou
sands. It is simply impossible to
invent telegraphic signals that
would cover tho written language.
Hero was an obstacle in tho way of
using tho telegraph at all.
Tho difficulty was obviated by in
venting a telegraphic signal for each
of the cardinal numbers, and so
numbers or figures might be tele
graphed to any extent. Thou a code
dictionary was prepared, in which
each number from one up to several
thousands stood for a particular
Chinese letter or ideograph. It is,
in fact, a cipher system. The sender
of tho messugo need not bpther him
self about its meaning.' lie may tel
egraph all day without the slightest
idea of tHb information ho is .-end
ing, for ho transmits only numerals.
It is very different with his friend,
tho receiver. lie has tho code dic
tionary at his elbow, and after each
message is received ho must trans
late if, writing each literary charac
ter in place of tho numeral that
stands for it. Only about an eighth
of the words in the written language
appear in tho code, but tiiore are
enough of them for all practical pur
poses.
But the Chinese system has its
great disadvantages. Men of or
dinary education have .not sufficient
acquaintance with the written lan
guage to be competent holograph re
ceivers, and the literati arc not seek
ing employment in the telegraph
offices any more than our college
professors aro. So tho government
recruits its employees with much
difficulty. Besides tho patrons of
tho telegraph aro comparatively fow
in number. 'There are almost no
Chinese who have business relations
all over the country, as is the caso
with many thousand:: of our basi
; ness men. The public is not invited
to buy stock in the Chinese telegraph
lines, and if it was nobody at pres
ent would buy with a view to divi
dends. The receipts do not equal tho
; rtponscs, and th e government makes
. ,1 * be deficit.
There is another great disadvan
; tago of the Chinese telegraph sys
tem. All ov'er tho world tho move
ments of railroad trains are regu
jla tod by telegraph. The orders re
j ccived by the station agent aro filed
in pdfiin view of th “c mployoes, and
if need be the switchman may take
i temporary charge ar.d carry out the
instructions from tho central office.
Railroads have been introduced into
China to a very small extent, and
j there is talk of greatly extending
tho service. But how about running
| tho trains?
A writer in Le Mot.foment Colo
nial oi .'’aris says that if railroads
are introduced to any extent in Chi
• na the personnel must he exclusive
| iy Enrol can and American or re
cruited from the literary class. He
says the ’Chinese government will
i not take foreigners into its service,
j and that, the educated men of China,
! who alone • among the people have
! sufficient knowledge of the written
language tu ho intrusted with the
actual running of trains, would ro
i fuse most emphatically to bo either
trainbands or station agents,
j This ia one cf the many small
stumbling blocks in tho way of Chi
na’s progress, but it is quite effective
in its way.—Statesman’s Year Book.

What pC’Vilejn the country don’t

: safely be put TiuWn as not worth
! knowing. Some city people who had
1 gone to the country to live were in
the habit of getting their coffee
from town by this quantity. Once
the coffee did not arrive in reason,
, and, as the mate:familias “always
had a headache unices she had coffee
at breakfast,’Vshc sent to a friendly
neighbor and. asked-for the loan of
| a small quantity of coffee. Tho
j neighbor got the c'offcn, but in hand,
j iug it over to the borrower she said:
‘We'rorc.,l glad to lend you this,
but when you return 'it you must
remember that wo psy 4.- cents a
pound for our coffee, ind you pay
only 3b, and give us enough more to
make up.”—Boston Transcript,

“There is no need oi t fifing space
in the programme to pacify that a

And tho playwright, who had uu-

deeply chagrined.—Detroit Tribune.
