I THE MACQH TELEGRAPH: FRIDAY MOR^IE'G, NOVEMBER SO, 1894. . HONEY TO BE GIYEN AIAY. — Jtt. flora Is Ten Dollars I’er Week for Ton for Ibo Kext Four Weeks. NEW AT TILE llCSIXESS. HOW MANY PEOPLE BEAD CLOSELY Tho Pages of the Telegraph Every Day l —A Plan Devised to Find Out— Learn Below Ilow to Earn $10 a Week Until Christmas* Christmas is not far off, and you haven’t as much spare cash as you would like. You can pick up $40 by watching tiio TelegrupSi from now uinil Christmas diy. Eusy way to make money, isn’t It? There Is no work in it, but rather preamble amusement, it w.U furnish p’aisure for the home circle, and is somli'itoing which any intdligcn’t t>ei\ son tan engage In. On Saturday morning next the 1<4- egrnpii Will start a oowtest in whTcta everyone of Its readers, both In Macon and out of town, can partto pate in. It 1b sontoihtng which need not bo con- fined to the heads of to family, nor yet to to older sisters and brothers, for any young girt or boy wao can road is as likely to earn to money as any one. Listen to to pain: Borfruling Sat urday morning and from then on for one week the Teflegtupfo will insert somawhere among lts “Cheap Column" advOTtisements a lost word or word out of place. By watching to cheap col umns each day for on© week and read ing carefully every advertisement there in, it will be no difficult matter to find the lost word. Seven of these words will form a sentence. To lliusirate: Suppose on Saturday morning to Tel egraph. prints In its cheap column an advertisement like the following: XMAS TRIX—The time is short: prices low; Judicious the place is here. And then on Sunday suppose you see the following: WATCH the columns of the Telegraph advertising for our special holiday offerings. And again on Monday you find tills one: WE do not hide our light under & bushel. Our store Is always, there fore, always crowded. , And on Tuesday you seo -this: WE find that It pays pays to tel' the public what we’ve got. On Wednesday you may see some- tiling like this: LOST—An opportunity to Increase our a trade by inviting the public to visit our store. On Thursday it may take this form: OUR holiday trade Is good, because go>od we advertised our goods. And then for the last day, Friday, say something like this one: JUDICIOUS advertising always pays a dividend. If you are a careful reader you have fo^nd that the word "judicious’’ woq out of place in the Saturday ad; on Sunday you found that importanit word “advertising" out of place; on Monday you found "ctlways”; on Tues day "pays"; on Wednesday “a."; on Thursday “good”; on Friday "am-, dend.” The week has been completed and you have found one word each day, which when put together form the sentenoe "Judicious advertising always pays a good dividend," which is a maxim true as gospel. If you have been quick, you have rushed your ujswer to the Telegraph office at the earliest hour possible Fri day morning. If It was the first cor- r-ct answer received, you will read in Saturday’s paper the pleasant an nouncement that you have received 55; It the second correct answer, that you have received ,3; and if third, 12. Of course, -the sentence which begins Saturday will not be the same ns the above, and probably nothing like It; so don’t attempt to guess until you have reud carefully each of the seven hpers beginning Saturday and con cluding with Friday morning’s issue. If you are not the Jlrst in this con*, teat, don’t be discouraged, for the Tele- graph Intends to keep It up. Maybe indefinitely, but certainly for four weeks—until 510 haa been distributed In this way among the Telegraph’s most careful readers. Now, get ready; the contest will be gin Saturday morning.

Or, in other words, to en able Its advertisers to get the best re- 5??" , thelr advertisements. That the plan is a good one everv ad vertiser will recognise, nnd th»’Tele graph w!>! be repaid ter its effort in their bebnlf. As can be seen. It will be necessary tor every contestant to read carefully word for word and line for lino in every advertisement in the “cheap columns" In order to feel cer tain that they have guessed the right words. It will be necessary to read every one of these advertisements ev ery day in the week In order to form tie complete sentence. Thus every advertisement Disced in the Telegraph’s “cheap columns" will be read by Intelligent people, res/1 carefully to see If It contains the lost word, and In reading the reader's nind will become impressed with wUMtver la offered therein. The re sults of this sort of advertising will be prompt etid direct, ft wifi at once cause he Telegraph’s “cheap’’ advertise ments to be among tbe most' valuable In to paper. . It will be well for merchants who wish to get the benefit of this scheme ot the beginning to get tltelr-ndver- t’sements ready early Friday evening. They wKl be ln”rted nt the usual rate, with the positive assurance, as demon- s rated above, that they will be- better read, more closely scrutinised nnd more effective In every wav than ever h tore. There Is money 1} it, not oo:>- r r the contestant, but for eve. - mar-, chant who places his ads In the Tele-' «rapli’s cheap columns. SHo Was u Very Nice But a Very Fresh Type water G'.rl. For a reporter with luit little to write and plenty of tlmo in which to write it there is nothing more pleasant than to dictate a imrratlvo to a cheerful type writer, particularly if sho bo young and have nice soft hair to distract the eyo and well formed, white fingers and be, ex ceedingly pleasing. But ter a reporter with a long yarn to write ami a limited amount cf time to finish it things somo* times l-.avo n different aspect. Near the nowspaper office is a typewrit ing office which many men frequent. A now girl came there ono day last week—a real nico girl and an excellent operator— hut she had never done that kind . . or!: before. While she was sitting in tin r.ajn room upon tho afternoon of her first day a newspaper man camo bustling In, and— "Mrs. J.. have you got anybody to take a two column story In a hurry?” "Yes," replied tho manager. "Hero is a young lady who hns just come to us. Miss Brown, Mr. Smith. You can go Into that corner room." In tlireo minutes tho young lady was seated at her machlno, tho nowspaper man was sorting out Ills notes, and tho door was closed, so as to lcavo them undis* turbed. "Now, If you will, please begin,” tho nowspaper man said. "In theso days of stern reality and suffering nnd struggle for existence a romantic cplsodo conics upon one with tho refreshing delight with which a traveler In a desort beholds an oasis.” Cllokoty, cllckcty, ollok went tho keys, and tbon: "Isn’t that lovely? Is it going to bo a novel?” Tho newspapor man looked up In amaze ment, but it was utterly Impossible to bo r.ngry with sttoh bluo eyes regarding him In admiration. “No," ho said. “Pleaso go on. In the monotonous routlno of police court cases, however, there was ono yesterday liohind which lay a story so romantic and so pic turesque that it would nlmost seem to linvo been created by a great novelist who had striven to exccodallhispastefforts." When this hail been recorded, and while tho nowspaper man was wondering what ho would say next, tho young lady, smil ing most radiantly, prattled on In this fashion: .. “That’s just splendid. It sounds llko a real novel. Did you over read ‘Clarissa; or, Tho Forlorn Hope?' It begins some thing likothat, only It Isn’t so interesting. Do yon know I novor took dictation liko that before? Tho last place I worked In I had nothing to do but copy letters. Oh, dear, wasn’t it tiresome, thoughl” Tho newspapor man felt his collar get ting too small,but aftorswallowlngsomo- thlng that scemod to stlok in his throat he said as gontly as posslblo: "Won’tyouploasogoon? I’m In some what of a hurry. What havo you got there?” “Where?" In great surprlso. "I moan plcasoread over what I have dictated. “Oh, how stupid I ami ‘In theso days of stern realty'—how do you pronounco that word, in two syllables or three? Thank you—‘stern reality and suffer ing’ ’’— And sho read whnt sho had written. Thon Just as tho nowspaper man had set tled hook In his obnlr; determined to dto- tato to the end without giving her another opportunity to lnterrupt him, sho said: “Excuse me. I think my hair Is coming down. ” Sho wont to a llttlo mirror in a corner of tho room, oxamlncd her hair carefully, and then after touobing up tho puffs of her sleeves nnd smoothing her waist sho sighed and returned to her scat ' “There, now; I’m all ready.” For tho next few mlnutos sho had to work so hard that sho hadn’t tlmo to say a single word. But soon tho page was filled, nnd she had to Insert n now sheet; and that was her opportunity. "Gracious! How fast you dlototol It nlmost takos my breath away. But do you know, I llko It I think It’s good practice. Wore you there whdn all that happened? Myl I wish I could bo a re porter.” Tho nowspapor man went on with Ids dictation. Ho was fast growing hopping mad, but ho hadn’t tho heart to soy a harsh word to tho girl. Sho was really very pretty, and ns sho became interested in tho story n delicate flush mantled hor cheeks, nnd It was n posltlvo pleasure to watch her. . But a nowspapor man has no tlmo tor plcnsuro daring business hours, nnd theso charms did not interest him ns much ns they might havo done under oth er circumstances. But ho struggled hravo- ly on. ■ "Oh I” sho suddenly exclaimed, stop ping in tho middlo of a sentence. "Did that really happen?” “Yes, yes. Will you please go on?” “Well, the Ideal I wouldn't have bo- llcvcd it. Do yon know. I don’t bcltovo halt whnt I read In the papers, bnt of course If you say so It must bo true.” “I'm very sorry I can’t chat with you, Miss Brown, but really I’m In a great hurry.” "Oh, I beg your pardon. I forgot all about that.” For nearly ten minutes there was not a break In tho dictation savo wlicro n sheet became full and a fresh ono had to bo In serted. Tho typewriter kept her lips firm ly pressed together, as if sho were exert ing all her strength to keep silent. It was clear to sco that It could not last much longer. In tbo middlo of n paragraph sho suddenly stopped nnd with n brief “Ex cuse mo ter a moment" left tho room. In a few seconds sho returned with her jaws moving convulslvoly and a piece of chow- lng gum in her hnnd. “Won't you havo some?" sho asked po litely. "N-n-no—and—I'll tell yon what—or— I guess I won't havo tlmo to finish this story today. I'll como hack somo other tlmo." "Oh, you’re not going are yon? I'm awful sorry.-1 was jast getting Interested in tho 6tory.” "Very sorry—op—how muohf Hero. All right? Good day." And seizing the fow sheets that lay on tho desk tho newspaper man went away and finished tho story with a pen.—Chica go Times. Xangh and tin long. It hns been aptly said that there is not the remotest cornor of the Inlet of the minute blood vessels of tho human body that docs not foot somo wavclot from tho convulsions occasioned by good hearty laughter.

It is not to bo wondered at that from tho earliest ages tho subject lias never failed to oxerciso a fascination over men, and that thoso who, by their genius and learn ing, have most nearly succecdod in solv ing its mysteries havo always boon revor- cnccd and esteemed to bo among tho wis est men of tholr day. Moro has been dono within the last 50 years then In nil tho rest of tho world’s history toward tho piercing of tho veil which shuts off from our eyes tho boauties and mysteries of far- off realms, nnd doubtless, by moans of tho 6pcctroscopo and Increased size in tho lenses of our telescopes, wo shall bo ena bled boforo long to unravel still moro so- crets of tho universe, and further add to our stock of information regarding the construction and conditions of other worlds besides our own. Tho question ag to whether spaco is flnlto or infinite can nover bo satisfactorily ar gued out or indeed even thought of, for tho human mind is Incnpablo of grasping the existence of a limit to spaco, oven In' its most abstraot form, but tho question of tho infinity of worlds and their distri bution in tho infinity of space lies moro closely within tho soopo of human intel lect, for wo havo many material facts and calculations to go upon in discovering tho probablo answer to this most fascinating question. Only as far back as tho seventeenth cen tury astronomers placed tho number of stars in tho universe as n little over 1,000, but this was absurd, as tbo real numbor visible to tho naked oyois about 7,000, and perhaps treble that numbor onn bo seen by persons with exceptionally good eyesight. When tho heavens, howover, aro examined through a telescope, tho number of visible stars uro enormously increased. In fact, It has been calculated that tho great Lick telescope, tbo mostpoworful yot made, reveals as many as 100,000,000! Yot what is that vast number compared with infinity? It cannot oven bo likened to a grain of Eand on tho seashore, and yet if wo think tho mattor out carefully wc shall soo that tho number of visible stars cannot really be lnfinito, for If thoy wero tho heavens would bo a complete blazo of light. This, of course, wo know, is far from being tho caso, and indeed there cannot bo any doubt that, in certain parts of tho heavens at least, tho number of visible stars is nlroady known, for ovon with tho very strongest telostopos there aro blank spaces which aro absolutely do- vold of stars below a cortain magnitude or even tho veriest trace of nebulous light. Theso spaces aro known to astronomers by tho namo of “coal sacks.” Thoy con tain no stars fainter than tho twelfth mag nitude, and, In fact, appear to mark thoso parts of tho universe which are compara tively thin. On tho othor hand, In other parts of tho heavens wo havo not by any means rcaohcd tho limit of tolespopic re- solvability. It is curious, though, that tlicso intensoly dark “holos” in tho bright ompyroan are. mostly to bo found in thoso parts of tho heavens whero most stars abound, notably in tbo Milky Way. Thoso rcmarkablo blank 6pots have boon a favor- ito themo of discussion and argument among oil astronomers, for, whatever tho real ehnpo or distribution of that universo may be, thoy point to tho almost certain inferonco that In a particular direction at least thero Is an actual limit to tho num ber of stars, and if there is n limit in ono direction wo havo every right to eupposo that ouch is tho caso in othors, and that wo havo only to wait for tcloscopos strong enough to resolve thoso parts which nro still unresolvablo to discover that a point can bo reached when all tho stars of tho universo nro unfolded to our gaze, and that, no matter. how keen tho power of our mechanical vision, wo can find no more. If, now, wo admit that tho numbor of visiblo stars Is limited, tho next question to bo asked is, What is tho ordor or shapo of thoir distribution? Various astrono mers havo had various theories about this matter. Herschcl.was inclined to think that tho visiblo universo was in tho shapo -of a disk, thotigh his viows in this direc tion woro considerably modified during tho later part of his llfo. Struvo considered that tho universo was in tho shapo of a disk of limited thickness, but infinite length—a theory which is hard to support, ns, unless tho ultimato extinction of light in spaco is believed in, that part of tho heavens which lay toward tho piano of tho disk would necessarily shlno with tho brightness of tho sun. Tho lato Mr. Proc tor, though finding It lmpossiblo to define any particular shapo for tbo visiblo uni verse. ns a whole, was of tho opinion that tho brightest pnrlof it—namely, tho Milky Way—was in tho form of a spiral. This lattor theory, however, has many objec tions to contend with. Otherastronomors havo line! difiurent theories on this ques tion, but all, or nearly all, appear to ad mit an ultimato limit to tho sizoof tho visiblo universe, or, in other words, be lieve that tho galaxy of worlds which sur round us form, in fact, but an islot in the vast infinity of space. It would appear at first sight that any attempt to solvo tho question of the exist ence of external galaxies and their dls- tnneo was absolutely futile, yet such is not tho caso. Tho result of calculation Is that tho nearest external universe Is so far dis tant that light from it travollng at tho speed of 180,000 miles a second would tako nearly 90,000,000 years to reach us!— Chambers’ Journal. Horns* Professor Cyrus Adler, osilitnnt curator of oriental antiques in tho United States National museum, describes an endless va riety of horns made of divers material used for religious purposes. Tho Berbers have an instrument mudo of two rams 1 ■im ii at tho ( iniii with » metal mouthpiece. An ox’s horn or a cow’s horn was sounded in Indio In honor of tho Hindoo god Slvn. In Africa the tusk of tho elephant Is used. Tho Ktruscnns had a bronze born, a spcolmon of which is in tho British museum. Tho kurna sound ed by tho Brahmans was sacred and not to be blown by any ono of low caste. Tho Jewish chofhr, mado of a rain’s horn, is tho survival of tbo most ancient worship.

How delightful!” Thon followod two days of trumping about In tho mountains, lino wcAthor, grand soencry, a glorious time, and then away again. Two days later Jack called at tho homo of his friend. John Is not thoro, and that ho knew boforohand, but his wifo is. Of courso tho llttlo trip Jack and John lmvo mado togclhor becomes at once tho subject of conversation. “Yes, indeed, wo had n most dollghtful time. Tho wenthor, tho mountain air and the scenery—oh, I cnjoyod It ever so much, nud so did John! Ho was very much tak en with tho trip, and Ills only regrot was that you woren’t with us to enjoy it too.” “Indeed! Well, that was very nice for him to roraomber mo. But really I pre ferred to stay hero at tho scasldo with tho children, especially ar, I a:n nob very fond of tho mountains anyhow. Yet John has been telling mo so much about it I almost wish I had gono.” “Yes, I’ni sure you would havo enjoyed it. Of courso I had my camera with me, and I took somo pictures, snap shots. Oh, nothing special I Merely amateur work, but I thought you might enjoy looking at thorn, and so I havo brought up somo of them for you. I will just leavo thorn horo, bo you can look thorn over nt leisure.” “Well, bow kind you arol Of courso I shall enjoy them over so much.” “Two hours later John comes homo and finds his wlfo wearing a look on her faco as threatening as a cyolono storrooloud. “That must have boon n flno tlmo you had on yoiit trlpl” “Certainly.
