PasigTaphY.

Two centuries ago Cave Beck wrote
book explaining his scheme for an uni
versal language. A publisher ventured
to print it, but the work fell still-born
from the press. The slow-going world
has at last caught up with Beck. Pa
sigraphical unions, designed to put his
plan into practice, have been formed.
They are most numerous in Germany,
list in Hungary, Russia, Italy, England
and France. Attempts are now being
made to organize unions in Montreal and
Figures are used for words. Between
1900 and 5000 words in common use
are written alphabetically and numbered
in order. A pasigraphist has but to
write the figures corresponding to the
words he wishes to use, and every other
pasigraphist can translate the message
into his own language. We quote a
letter recently sent to DR.. Anton Bach
maier, president of the Munich Pasi-
graphical Union
1887, 1884, 1856, 7O9, 24O9 1545, 1905, 1442, 795

Translated into English, this reads {:
DEAR SR-When you call here, have some
small books for you.
Yours truly SAMUEL BIRCH.
The line under 553-which means
book, 6uch, liUre, etc.-shows that it is
in the plural. Afgure denoting verb,
when marked through the center, means
the past tense. When overscored, it
means the future.
The plan seems quite a good one.
The list of 5000 words once learned,
must suffice for all ordinary purposes.
Mszzofanti considered himself able to
speak any language as soon as he had
learned $50 of its words. The Eng
Iish agricultural labor is said to use on
ly 450 words in his daily talk. Pasi-
graphy will scarcely, however, make
the great works of literature common
property. People who think in figures
of speech cannot readily put their
thong hts into figures that represent
words. Imagine Coleridge writing

Oriental Riddles.
The pets of eastern nations are fond
of exercising their ingenuity in the con-
struction of quaint conceits, which de-
mand patience on their part, and a good
deal of study on the part of their read

people we copy two or three riddles in
rhyme from Ayers recent collection OF

The Eucalyptus,

The Blue Gum tree (EucaZyptat8 glO6-
uJu8), which is exciting a good deal of
attention among agriculturalists in
Europe, is a native of Australia and a
member of the Myrtle family (AIyrtG-
ce8). 1t was introduced into Algeria
eleven years ago, and, during the last
seven years, extensive plantations
have been cultivated in that country.
It fiourishes luxuriantly in this new
habitat, and trees of only seven years
growth from the seed have reached an
average height of so feet, although
nourished by very poor soil. It is an
evergreen tree, with a straight stem,
crowned at the summit with spreading
bushes, bearing willow-like leaves. In
their native forests these trees often
rise to the height of 200 feet, with
their shafts clear of branches for from
100 to $50 feet, and resembling so many
elegant colGmns irregularly scattered
about, and intercepting the view at the
distance f few hundred yards.
These Eucalyptic groves are especi-
ally grateful on the barren plains of
Barbary By their growth marshy
lands are drained, and sun-baked spots
are Swallowed and provided with moist
ure. Their blossoms are filled with
honey, which attracts multitudes of in
sects and thew in turn invite the birds,
who find not only an abundance of food
but the warmth of leafy coverts in win
ter, and shelter from the fierce heat of
the sun in summer. The trees exhale a
fragrance which is described as delight
fully resinous and pungent. They are
said to possess also various medicinal
virtues.
Baths in a decOctiOn of the leaves
and branches are said to remove rheu-
matte pains, and neuralgia, and to pro-
mote recovery from the debility left by
the malaria incidental to the country.
There is no doubt that the tree has
properties which give it efficiency in
cases of fever It's bark yields tannin,
and also an oil which is serviceble IN
the arts. Attempts have been made to
cultivate the tree in England. 4 plant
seven years old, in the gardens of the
Royal Botanical Society, has attained
a height of Is feet. But it is thought
that, except in the extreme south or
west of the island, the tree will not en-
dure the low temperature of the ordi-
nary English winter.
The Eucalyptus is allied to the pome-
granate; the Guava tree the Coryo-
phyllus aromatica, whose dried flower
buds are the cloves of commerce; the
PimentO, whose berries are known I'M
der the name of allspice and the Aki.
or Lignum-Vit@, of New Zealand. The
entire Myrtle family, numbering about
800 species, are natives of tropical coun-
tries, in the kew and the old world.

Twice Married.


M. Fl, B. writes to the st. Louis Re-
publican "There are tragical, COM
ical and commonplace divorce suits,
and the following certainly is as cOmical
as any on record. A young couple ten
years ago agreed to disagree, and she
of the firm went west to the Eel Dorado
of disconnected wives in those days,
Chicago. Then she commenced suit,
but before it was granted he went on,
made up the peace between them, and
hand in hand they returned. Before
the year was out, however, they quar-
relied again, and this time he didn't
reach her quick enough; the bill passed,
and as divorced woman she resided In
Boston for five years. Then III an idle
hour she ansW cred matrimonial or
personal in New York paper, cores
ponded some months, journeyed on to
this city to meet the AdOlphus of her
mature dreams, and found in him the
Ichabod of her early days. They had
lied so faithfully in their letters and so
unanimously that neither had dlscov-
cred the others identity. Whether the
deception had cast new light on the
subject. or whether they were convinced
that in all the world they couldn't each
find fool like the other, at any rate
once more they mated. A second we'd
ding and a second hand honeymoon en-
sued. But the husband speedily began
to hearse to his charmer what he con-
sidered her folly in answering anony-
nous advertisements, and, instead of
retorting, as she properly could, to the
anonymous advertiser, she wept and he
buliied, aud on time dragged till last
summer, when they separated, and this
spring suit for divorce was commenced.
The parties are both wealthy; Mrs.
lives in fine style at an uptown hotel
and attends to her law business. Mr.
stops with a sister in Brooklyn. Four
hearings in the suit have taken p ace
before a referee At the close of the
fourth. behold the belligerent pair went
to Delmonico's to lunch together. The
anxiety and excitement of the lawyers
was something dreadful to witness.
This case has so much money it it, has
already dragged its slow length over so
much time, has so many beautiful tea-
lures, and perhaps that nightmare OF the
legal profession, reconciliation, may
step in and spoil it all.
AS a general rule, it is better tc
take little notice of foolish or even OF
malignant gossip. Let it alone. By
ard by these who go about ret illlpg
such stuff will grow weary, If not
ashamed perhaps they will feel DISCUS
ted at their own baseness. Ii they are
not noticed they will sink out OF sight.
