WOMEN WHiSTLERj.


Among the Fair Sex.
She whistles like II birl," tho
young man of the present cries o; his
best girl. No one looks shocked or
even surprised at the exclamation.
Two years ago such remark would
have mad n sensation, but now IL IS
so common for youngladics to whistle,
and whistle well, and so many of
them are ambitious to do the Same
that it can be commented upon admir-
ingly, even by the most conservative.
One OF tho first young ladies' to in
troducc this practice into Chicago
drawing-rooms was Miss Grace Run
yon. She is very slight, palo-faced
girl, with most graceful and modest
manners. She seldom consents TO ex-
hibit her accomplishment. unless her
mother sits ut the piano-an inslru-
ment which that lady knows how to
use with wonderful effect. She al
ways makes gentle "attack." as q
musician would say. Sometimes it Is
waltz, oftcncr fantastic scrap of
melody from one Of the masters, now
n little bird song, AMI not unfrc-
quently ono Of the popular
serenades. She can always DO
relied on 10 give all of tho
gems from the latest opera. When
she purses up her lips for whistling it
does not comfort her features in tho
least, but seems. indeed, rather TO i'm
crease the piquancy of her face. Sho
has clear. piccolo-liko quality that Is
wonderful to hear, and is more like tho
warbling of bird than any thing olss
that could be imagined.
Her shading is delicious, and tho
expression she gives 10 melody is rs
intelligent as that which fine singer
would show.
Following Miss Runyon's example,
the whistling fad has spread like a
contagion. The young ladies of tho
household set the example, and whistle
every thing from lullaby songs to ex-
tracts from Chopin, and the servant
girls follow their example with hcartier
lungs, but dullcr notes.
In New York, Mrs. Alice j. Shaw
and Mrs. Jennie r. Campbell have
made themselves famous by their
genius for whislling, and hundreds of |
maids and matrons followed their ex-
ample. This mclodious craze has
done away with tho banjo, either,
and all the rest of these old
instruments that have been thrummed
in the parlors of late. A really good
woman whistler has generally
greater compass and brilliancy than

An odd cn,nnosinr Rnnm.

The internal organization of q Japanese
newspaper office is a sad spectacle of daily
struggle with difficulties unknown else
where and really unnecessary here. The
Japanese written and printed character
sconsistseof The Chinese ideographs, those
complicated square figures made up of an
apparent tumble of zigzags and crosses
and ticks and triangles and tails, and of
the original Japanese syllabary called
hama. Of the former there are 90, 900 in
ailyof which perhaps $4,000 constitute
the scholars vocabulary, and no fewer
than 1000 are in common daily usei while
the forty-seven simple characters Of kama
are known to everybody. Therefore the
Japanese ~compositor has to be prepared
to place in his stick any one of over 1000
different ~types-truly an appalling task.
From the nature Of the problem several
consequences naturally fellow. First, he
must be a good deal of a scholar himself,
to recognize all these instantly and &C.
curately; secondly, his eyesight suffers
fearfully, and he generally wears a huge
pair of magnifying goggles; and third, as
it is physically impossible for any one
man to reach 1000 types, a totally diff
ferent method of case arrangement has
to be devised.-Henry Norman in Phila-
delphia Times.

this hypothetical matter from one place
to another. Other physicists, following
Ediund, regard the ether and electricity
as identical, and some, the disciples of
Helmholtz, consider it an integral con

ter having its own definite charge, which
determines its attraction and its repul-
sion. All attempts to revive the Frank
linian, or material theory of electricity
have, however, to be so loaded with as.
sumptions and so weighed with contra
dictions that they completely fail to re-
move electricity from the region of the
mysterious. Il is already extremely diff
cult to conceive tho existence OF the
ether itself as an infinitely thin, highly
elastic. medium filling all space, employed
only as the vehicle Of those undulatoTy
motions that give us light and radiant

requires us to add to this another incom

medium for motion, but which is itself
