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.

Tlinea.' 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. i 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. Sf other—Gracious!
