A Phonoqrapher's Feat.

Curious manias take possession Of the
human mind. A few years ago such a
one existed for writing long compositions
in such small characters that they COW
cred no more space than that occupied
by fve-cent piece. This mania was
followed by the invention of machine
which gave microscopic copy of any
writing made by it's aid, the principal
use being for private dispatches Dur
ing the Franco-Prnssian war this was
superseded by the micro-photograph
which enabled copy of newspaper to
be sent by pigeon post. All these efforts
have been outrivalled by a German
shorthand writer who has executed
three thousand words Cor signs of words)
upon a postal card, and challenged any
one to beat his achievement by any
other system Of shorthand. He has
been outrivalled! A student of the Pit
mans system has succeed in examining
into the same space the whole of Gold
smiths ''She Stops to Conquer" half
another play and an essay, altogether
80, 1853 words! We should like to know
the man who read them; probably he is
no longer living.

The impression that has so long and widely
prevailed, especially In England, that the ratio
of INDECENT classes to population was greater
in London than in Paris is not sustained by
the official figures that have just been made
public by French statistican. On the con-
trary, the reverse is shown to be the case. In
Paris, with a population of less than 1000, 600,
it is computed that no less than 354, 900 persons
were the recipients of charity. After subtract
ing from this $4,000 children who have been
abandoned by their parents, 5000 inmates of
the hospitals or asylums, $4,000 sick persons.
and $4,000 women in childbirth, we are left
about 100000 persons incapacitated for self
support, about five-sixths being absolute pau
pers. In London the population is estimated
3,255, 900, and in 1880 the great metropolis had
only 10S,000 persons depending upon charity
forreief. These figures are official and can be
relied upon as relatively accurate.

The Toronto Globe complains that the Otta-
va government has lately ordered the purchase
of weigh-sales in the United States and rejected
similar articles of Canadian manufacture, has
purchased uniforms abroad, in spite of the fact
there are hundreds of tailors in the Dominion
who would gladly undertake the work; has ask
ed the price of New York firm with view Of
ordering postal cards from the United States
while there are many Canadian printers pre-
pared to furnish supply, and has ordered the
printing of the Inter-Colonial railway in New
York, in spite of the fact, as the Globe asserts,
the work could be done as well and as cheaply
in Canada

Norway Mountains.
(From a Letter from Sunset Cox

FROM Letter from Sunset Cox.
Many of these Norwegian mountain
ranges are doubled in grandeur by the
reflections of their rocks and snow in the
waters of the ever-changing ford. What
huge masses these north mountains
seem-skeleton ribs of the earth in it's
desolation and sub]imity. The marvel
is, and is ever repeated here, that a
whole land, running so far toward and
into the frozen zone, swinging like a
monstrus bow, should be so crowded
with these giants of earth and yet so
easily reached by the sons of earth.
Compared with them the Catskills aud
Aneghanies seem wart. I have seen
the Sierras of Spain and California, and
the Atlas and Alpine ranges with their
gorges and glories, and yet it would
seem as if all these visions were as moth
ing compared with these thousand miles
of majesty, with their waters and isles,
glaciers and peaks all canopied with
blue skies and feecy clouds, and all re-
produced in lakes more magical than
Maggoire or Como.

The Call on Jones,
from the Boston Budpet-1


There are certain people who are so
entirely satisfied and self-suffcient, so
unwilling to rely upon others, and so
fearful lest by asking questions they
shall discover their business to others,
that they defeat their own ends, and not
seldom land themselves in ridiculous
situations. It was one of this sort who
dropped into a downtown store the
other day, stalked into the private count
ing-room and asked: SIS Mr.. Jones
imp" Mr.. Jones' partner, Mr.. Brown,
was sitting at his desk, and, looking up,
said quietly, "No, sir, and then gave
the intruder an inquiring glance. as if to
ask what he could do for him. But he
merely rushed for the morning paper,
drew up chair, put his feet upon the
corner of the desk and proceeded to alb
sorb the news. Mr.. Brown continued
with his work, attending to his CORE
pondence and to business callers. At
length the intruder ventured to suggest
that Mr.. Jones didn't seem to be coming,
to which Mr.. Brown gave a laconic
emo" Another half hour passed, and
the intruder, having exhausted the paper
and finished his cigar, took out his watch
and asked: "When will Mr.. Jones be

Brown. politely; Sc I had telegram from
him just before you came in, saying that
he would leave San Francisco this even

A DISTINGUISHED Austrian physician has re-
Gently published book in which he attempts
to prove that habitual criminals are such be-
cause they cannot help it. He has examined
the brains of number of persistent scoundrels,
and has invariably found that the superior
frontal convolution is not continuous but is
divided into four sub-convolutions analogous to
the parts found in predatory carnivorous ami
mails, and he thinks that the mental character
istics Of criminals are due to this peculiar
formation of the brain. ''There is probably
substratum of truth in the hypothesis of the
learned professor" saws the London Echo,
"but, inasmuch as these habitual criminals in
variably know the difference between penny
and a shilling, there is no reason why they
should not learn the difference between right
and wrong"

Condition of the President.

The Presidents condition took q turn for the
worse on the 18th inst, and although the sur
geons state that the case is by DO means hope
less. they admit that crisis of great gravity
has been reached. DR.. Bliss says that, unless
marked improvement soon appears the patients
hours are numbered. The trouble comes from
failure of the stomach to perform it's func-
tons properly. In the patients weak condition,
it is of the utmost Importance that nourish-
ment be furnished in quantities sufficient to
make up for the facilitating effects of the
escape of pus from the wound. The stom-
ach, however, will not receive or hold
any nourishment. Nausea and vomiting have
followed, and these, in turn, have resulted in
heightened pulse and great prostration. The
utmost anxiety and dependency prevails at
Washington. All the members of the cabinet
are at the seat of government except Secre-
taries Blaine and Lincoln, and they have been
summoned to return. In connection with the
Presidents condition, the question of calling
upon the vice president, at once, to assume the
power of the Executive, receives renewed at
tention, and the plan begins to receive favor
even among some who have opposed it hereto
fore.
