WIRE ABBREVIATION.
Time Savina Code That Is Inert by
Telegraph Operntorn.
From the beginning of practical te
legraphy there has been a constant ef
fort to increase the capacity of wires,
so as to do the greatest amount of
business in the least possible time.
After duplicate, triplicate, quadrupll
site and yet further increase, in capac
ity a code system of abbreviation was
started which has grown until a single
letter stands for several -words, and
two or three letters mean an entire
sentence.
j If a telegraph operator wants to say
“supreme court of the United States,”
lie does not send twenty-nine letters,
for six answer his purpose. Ho simp
ly clicks off f’s cot u s,” There is a
saving of about 80 per cent in time by
(ising the first letter of each word, if
‘‘it is understood” is to he transmitted,
the initial letters are not exclusively
used, hut it goes ”1 x u.” Hero “x”
Stands for “is,” as it does lit “it'is be
lieved,” which goes “l x b.”,
i If "out of tlie” is to lie sent by wire,
(seven of the letters are saved, for the
.three wordfe are carried by the one
fetter “k." Then “f” means “of the.”
jVou could not guess in a year wliiit
!“k a xv” means to a telegraph opera
tor, for tlio letters are used not because
jthey are initials, lint because they are
inn unusual combination. They Signify
j “adjourned sine die.” 1
i A telegraph operator knows of no
(good reason for using fourteen letters
jxvhen he wants to Say “Constantl
j nople," so he makes it 0c p.”—New
I York Herald.
It Wan' Hevlned.
“Have you a revised copy of the Nexv
Testament in the library, Miss Reid?”
asked tlie young man who xvas mak
ing an evening call.
“No, Mr. Slow,” she replied, “I re
gret to say xve haven't.”
“What’s a revised Copy?” asked Bolt
by, who had been permitted to sit up
later than usual.
“You are rather young yet, Bobby,
to understand such matters,” said his
sister kindly. “A revised copy means
that certain changes have been made in
(the Bible which were considered neces
sary to a better understanding of the
itext. Now you had better run off to
tied—there’s a good hoy.”
The young man could scarcely con
cb&l bis admiration.
“Well, if that’s xvhnt it is,” said Bob
by, “our family Bible is revised, ’cause
pa changed it the other day. He
scratched out the date of your birth
and made it three years later. He told
ma something about you nnd Mr. Slow
and said that it wouldn’t do any harm
nohow, and if Mr. Slow wanted to look
at it it might do a deal Of good.”
Presently the young man went iiw’uy,
and a family consultation xvas held. It
resulted in Bobby passing a sleepless
night.
Iliilian llcadMlncp. .
Nowhere is to be found a more pom
pous or a more awe inspiring person
than the headsman, xvho plays in India
the role which the official hangman
plays in a European city.
His deadly work lie performs with
great ski!!, and in his hearing there is
a certain dignity which is never seen
in a European .hangman. Moreover,
while in Europe tlie populace regards
a hangman with a reeling xvhicli is
partly contempt and partly horror, the
people of India respect and fear the
public executioner and uev.er seem to
think that he Ims lowered himself In
the social scale by accepting the .office
of iieads^nan.
On festlxe occasions and when ar
rayed in his robes of office tlie execu
tioner is decidedly a picturesque figure
and altogether different from tlie som
ber and grim hangman of Europe.
The Disease Dili Not Fit.
’ The doctor had paid a visit to Mr.
(Cassidy, and after his departure Mrs.
'Onssidy's friends in the tenement
stepped to hear the verdict.
“Well;” said Mrs. Cassidy, smooth
ing down 'hoc apron xvith an air of
modest triumph, “the doctlier says
Moike scoms-W he having an attadkt
of plural pneumonia, but Oi says to him,
Oi says, ‘Docther, y.ov Juioxv well that
Moike is a shinall littie .tnan,’ Oi says,
‘and ain’t you exaggerating it bit, for,
to my thinking, single is nil tUerc'd be
room in him for,’ Oi says. Bqt xvhin
he went off his xvurrd was uncitanged,
so it’s plural pneumonia Moike has by
his tolling, and sure it’s a grand, large
disease for so shinall a man as 111111.”
One Tunnel Dess.
In traveling from Luzerne to Chlasso,
on the St. Gothard line, the train
passes through seventy-nine tunnels.
Now, hoxv many tunnels docs it pass
(through Igom Chiasso to Luzerne?
’ “Seventy-nine, of course,” will be the
’Ttwitti answer. But this is not so, as

“One day during the busy season,
when every moment xvas precious,”
said a bank teller, “a woman present

Hoxv the Ancients Moved St one,-:
An unfinished obelisk found in a
tiuarry at Syene showed how the an
cients separated these Immense mono
liths from the native rock. A groove
marking the boundary of the stbne
contained a number of holes into xvbich
wooden wedges xvere firmly driven.
The groove was then filled with xvater,
and the swelled wedges .cracked the
granite tlih xvliole h ngtii of the groove.
The detilched block Was tllen pushed
forward upon rollers made from palm
trees to n large timber raft on the edge
of the Nile, where it remained until
the next Inundation floated the raft to
the city where the obelisk xvas to be
. i
set up. s i, . , *
Thousands of hands then pushed It
on rollers up an inclined plane to the
front of the temple, where It xvas to
stand. Tlie pedestal had previously
been placed in position, and a firm
causeway of sand cox'cred with planks
led to the top of it. Then by means of
rollers, levers and ropes made of date
palm tlie obelisk was gradually hoisted
into an upright position. In no case
has an obelisk been found to be out of
the true perpendicular.
White Men In Slavery.
Slavery is so connected in the popu
lar mind with the dusky hue of the
African that it seeins hard to believe
that only about 100 years ago white
men could be sold into slavery in New
York. It arose through applying the
redemption idea to poor immigrants
and obtained equally in all the coun
tries of the United Kingdom. A man
in England, wishing to come to Amer
ica, would go to the correspondent of
some American house and for a cer
tain sum of money sell himself for a
period of from one to three years, as
the case might be. Taking the money
so raised, lie would pay Ids passage and
that of Ids family to this country. Im
mediately upon ills arrival in New
York his “time” would be put up at
auction and liiinself sold to work for
the stipulated period before he could
be considered a free man. Many men
wlio afterward rose to great promi
nence came to this country under these
distressing conditions.
To Match His Match.
An Englishman was in a smoking
compartment of a city train a little
while hack, and at a certain station
a German entered the carriage and
took his seat opposite him. When the
train had started, the foreigner, notic
ing the other’s cigar, inquired if lie
could give him one.
The Englishman, astonished ut the
request, reluctantly pulled out his case
and saw with disgust the other select
the best lie could find and take a match
from his pocket and light it. After
taking a few puffs with evident enjoy
ment, the German, beaming at his
companion through his spectacles, af
fably continued:
“I vould not haf droubled you, but I
had n match in mein bogglt und I did
not know vat to do mit it.”—Chums.

A Severe Critic.
A self conscious ami egotistical
young clergyman was "supplying” the
pulpit of a country church. After the
service, says the New York Evening
Post, he asked one of the deacons, a
grizzled, plain spoken man, what he
thought of “this morning’s effort.”
"Waal,” answered the Old man slow
ly, "I’ll tell ye; I’ll tell ye in a kind o’
parable. It reminded me of Sim Peck’s
fust deer hunt, when he was green.
He follered the deer’s Tracks nil right,
but he follered ’em all day in the
wrong direction.” _
Removing Temptation.

up there. Willie, didn’t I tell you not
to pull that cat’s tail again?
