The Way the Cable Talks.

An operator sits at table in room
darkened by curtain. On his left
hand stands a little instrument named
the rejecting galvanoineter, the in
vention OF Sir William Thomson, with
out which Atlantic telegraphy would be
a slow process, not exceeding two or
three words per minute, instead of
eighteen or twenty, the present rate.
This delicate instrument consists of a
tiny magnet, and small mirror swing
ing Oh silk thread, the two together
weighing but few grains. The electric
current, passing along the wire from
Valencia, defects the magnet to and
fro. The mirror reflects a spot of light
on to a scale, in a box placed at the
operators right hand, where, by its
oscillation, the spot of light indicates
the slight movements of the magnet,
which are too slight to be directly seen.
This little swinging magnet follows
every change in the received current,
and every change, great or small, pro-
duces correspond g oscillation of the
spot of light on the scale. A code of
signals is so arranged, by which the
movement of the spot of light is made
to Indicate the letters of the alphabet.
When receiving message from
Valencia, the operator watches the move
ment of the little speck, which keeps
dancing about over the scale on his
right. To the practiced eye, each move
ment of the spot of light represents a
sletter of the alphabet, and its seeming
ly fantastic motions are spelling out the
intelligence which the pulsings of the
electric current are transmitting between
the two hemispheres. 1t is truly mar
velous to note how rapidly the expert
enced operator disentangles the irregu-
lar oscillations OF the little speck of
light into the letters and words which
they represent.

A Paper Of Pepper.

The housewife will do we'll to keep
her surplus pepper in loose paper on
an upper shelf. Mrs. Forbes, of Mel
son street, is distinguished for that trait
of domestic government. Mr.. Forbes
keeps the piece of mutton tallow with
which he strengthens his boots in a
piece of paper also. We don't pretend
to say that Mr.. Forbes puts this mutton
tallow on an upper shelf, or any shelf
at all, when he gets through with it.
We wouldn't dare say this in face of the
fact that Mr.. Forbes has always to
search for that tallow, and always APP
pears surprised when it is handed him.
But he keeps it in paper, and the add
vent of snow Saturday morning prompt
e.; him to look for it. Mrs. Forbes had her
attention attracted toward him by his get
ting down on his knees to peer under the
stove, and by q remark he dropped
to the effect that che bet he'd build
a house yet that he could put thing in
and find 1t again" She asked him what
he was looking for, but he preserved a
moody silence, and continued the search,
taking the kettles out from beneath the
sink, and scrutinizing each one with
unrelenting severity. "Why don't you
tell me what you are looking for?" de.
manded Mrs. Forbes. "None of your
business y said he, snappishly. 81
don't believe you know what you are
looking for, " retorted Mrs. Forbes, and
appeared to receive much consolation
from the remark. eff things were left
where they were put" explained Mr.
Forbes, now thoroughly exasperated
they could be found again. What
ever observation Mrs. Forbes contem.
plated venturing in reply to this was
abruptly cut off by the advent of 9
neighbor, who wanted to consult her in
regard to the trimming of cloak. Mrs
Forbes hastily adjourned to the sitting
room, and Mr.. Forbes passed into the
pantry to explore the shelves. Bits OF
paper peeping over the edge of the
upper shelf Immediately attracted his
attention, and he proceeded to take
them down. Now woman would have
taken a chair for this purpose that she
might better see what she was doing
but a man rarely descends to the weak
ness of woman. As long as the con
tents of shelf can be reached he does

not care TO see the shelf itself. And
so Mr.. Forbes stood on lis tip.toes, and
reaching up, began to drag down the
paper parcels. Mrs. Forbes In the sit
ting room with the neighbor, and COM
pletely engrossed in the particulars of
the new cloak, was startled out OF her
chair by partly smothered oath and
fully developed bound, and out OF her
senses by piercing shrek and terrific
crash, and flying into the kitchen found
the breakfast table tipped over, and the
portly and conservative Mr.. Forbes
prancing in among the ruins of crockery
and food, madly rubbing his eyes, and
sneezing most vociferously. The poor
woman was Immediately made aware of
the cause of the mishap. His passion
ate reference to pepper in paper pack
ages, to the awful stupidity of the female
sex, and to a future world, all of which,
most singularly jumbled together,
needed no unraveling to make them
more explicit. She dragged him to the
sink; she dashed cold water in his face
down his back and bosom, she rubbed
his ears, and pounded him between the
shoulders, and besought him with flush
ed face and fearful eyes, mot TO carry
on and make snch an idiot of himself. p"
But it was some time, even under her
skillful treatment, before he could
stife his screams and profanity and VEN
ture to open his bleared and inhamed
eyes; and it was not until she had said
eight times that if "he had only told
her what he wanted this might have been
saved" that he felt sufficiently recovered
to dash into that pantry and demolish
that shelf. -Dan6uy.y NeUS.

France.

The French are the most nervous and
emotional people in the world, and endure
with the least patience the arbitrary
acts of their opponents and, when they
break loose from constraint, they act
more like uncaged tigers than human
beings. And yet, at other times, they
are as gentle and quiet as lambs. At
all times their actions are full of poetry
and sentiment. 1t is sometimes comic,
or epic, or tragic, or melodramatic act
ing but it is never surly, morose, or
apathetic acting. In all things they are
irrepressible and sentimental.
The history of France since 1889
furnishes the strangest and most dra-
matte chapters of any nation in any age.
1t has been succession of most start
ling panoramic scenes. During this
period she has fought all Europe
sometimes with one power singly, then
with several, and again with combina-
ton of them all. Her armies have en-
tered and plundered every Capital in
Europe, except that of Great Britain :;
and the armies of Europe have returned
those visits and plundered her Capital.
Not satisfied with upsetting all the
other Governments, she has overturned
her own half-a-dozen times, and
changed its form still oftener. She has
tried every form under the sun, from
Socialistic Anarchy to Military Des-
potism. She has experimental with
liberty without law, and law without
liberty /; there remains but one form yet
untried, and that is local self-govern-
ment, which seems to be beyond the
comprehension or reach of this eccen-
trio, restless, and versatile people,

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.
" I've lost my portmanteau."

Franklin Tied his Money Up.

DIR. Benjamin Franklin, in a codicil
to his will, left his native town of Bos-
ton the sum of one thousand pounds to
be lent to the young married artiticers
upon good security and under certain
other conditions. If the plan should be
carried out as successfully as he ex-
pected, he reckoned that this plan would
amount, in one hundred years, to one
hundred and thirty-one thousand
pounds. 1t was his wish, and so ex-
pressed in his will, that one hundred
thousand pounds should be spent upon
public works (which may then be
judged of most general utility to the
inhabitants, such as Notifications,
bridges, aqueducts, public buildings,
baths, pavements, or whatever makes
living III the town more convenient to
the people, and renders it more agreea-
bic to strangers resorting thither for
health for temporary residence. 1t
was also his wish that the remaining
thirty-one thousand pounds should again
be put on interest for another hundred
years, at the end of which time the
whole amount was to be divided be-
tween the city and State. The bequest
mt the end of the first hundred years
may attain the exact figure he calcul.
ated, but it is sure to be large sum.
At the present time it is more than a
hundred and eighty thousand dallars,
and it has about seventeen years to run.
Franklin died in 1890.
