An Anxious Capitalist.

'I came in to ask" began little old
man in whisper, looking as if fearful
of being overheard, and drawing his
chair close up to the editor, 'if you
know anything Of the condition of the
Nevada BankF'
''No special information" replied the
editor.
"rhen you think it solvent-perfectly
solvent?" demanded the little man, with
intense eagerness.
Certainly"
"Might ask what its capital is-its
paid up capital?"
'"Three millions, I believe" said the
editor, beginning to wonder what man
ner of man had hoated against him.
"And,' continued the man in black,
Juggling In nervous excitement at his
thin and struggling iron-gray beard,
whats the Nevada Bank S reserve-its
reserye-that is what want to find out. :"
-Four millions, / think. "
"And how is it invested-how is it in
vested?" he fairly gt1lped with eageness
as he glued his eyes upon those of the
editor and awaited the reply.
''In United States bonds"
"Ah, The said, with a great sigh of re-
lief, '1'm glad of that Ihen"-here he
looked all around to make sure that
there were no listeners Then you
think man could safely trust his money
TO it?'
"Why, certainly. There is no safer
bank in the world. It has unlimited
backing"
The little old man chuckled and took
the editors hand, which he shook al
most gleefully.
"You have done me a great favor,
siri' he exclaimed, ''a great favor-and
I shall not forget it."
ut bothers you to be sure that your
money is safe, suppose, sir?" said the
editor, with that respect in tone and
manner which every Independent citizen
instinctively assumes when addressing a
wealthy man.
"Well--er, no, not just yet. The fact
is he added with burst of confidence,
ST am about to change my mode of liv-
ing. I'm ifty-fve to-day, and have
formed resolution that henceforth
shall save my money instead of spend
ing it, as I-haye done from my youth
up, and have suffered considerable
anxiety about where to put my money
when / get it. In point of fact" he
continued, his cadaverous face beaming
81 am just now excessively hard up and
if you could oblige me, sir, with the loan
of dollar until | am started on my new
career, you would lay me under heavy
obligation.
The editor staggered toward the club
in the corner, but when he turned he
was alone.

Every Man his own stenographer.

Another addition has beer made to the
many scientific wonders of recent years.
Herr A. Gentili, of Vienna, has invent
ed an instrument-called by him the
glossograph-consisting of an ingenious
combination of delicate levers and
blades which, placed upon the tongue
and lips and under the nostriIs of the
speaker, are yibrated by the movements
OF the former ana the breath flowing
from the latter. The vibration is trans
mltted to pencils, which transcribe the
several signs produced by the acton of
tongue and lips and the breath from the
nostrlls upon strip of paper, moved by
a mechanical arrangement. Similar to
shorthand, special system of writing
which may fifty be termed glossography
is produced based upon the principle
OF syllable cor struction and combination
OF consonants. It is especially suited
to those languages the photography of
which differs least from the phonetic
record Of the apparatus, A wide vista
Is opened to the instrument for its prac-
teal application in recording speech.
independently of the fact that by its
means we shall be enabled to write four
or five times as quickly as hitherto by
shorthand, the new apparatus requires
no preliminary study and no special
practice. It is self-acting in the fullest
sense. Moreover. its application in
wolves as little fatigue to the speaker as
severe attention of the person tran
scribing. In reporting proceedings in
Parliament or courts Of law, it is not
necessary that the speaker should use
the apparatus himself Anybody NAV
articulate it by repeating in a low tone
OF voice the words of a speaker, which
IS sufficient for recording the signs. The
glossograph may be recommended to
those orators whose efforts to be heard
are consistently ignored by reporters.
and who will thus be enabled, by simply
adjusting the instrument under their
nose, to report their own speeches in
spite of these Objectionable persons.
Seriously speaking, however, the glosso-
graph may play an important part in
telegraphy In the near future.

NAPOLEON I'LL, whose health was
not of the best, used to make use
of preparation of iron, which came to
be called "Syrupus Napoleonis, and
under that name crept into the Ger
man pharmacopeia. In the new edi-
ton, however, of that work of inter-
minable technicalities, the Syrupus
Napoleonis has, for political reasons per-
laps, been carefully excised.

More than all, the story got out, and
was the source of unmitigated delight

their unfortunate mistake. - BdlL0u's

company Is one of evenly sustained merit. Siguora
Maleroni the leading lady, is Of the very best
actresses on the stage FAR greater artist than many
