scheme OF the Brokers.

ssHave you heard or the latest scheme
OF some of the Wall street brokers?" was
the query put to reporter by Western
Union operator. ''They are devoting
their spare moments to learning teleg-
raphy. A few days ago the regular oper-
ator in a New street brokers' office
was absent, and was sent for to take his
place for the day. / noticed an extra set
of instruments in the Office, and supposed
that some of the Office boys or clerks were
learning to manipulate the key. / was
somewhat surprised during the day to see
a member of the firm come in and COM
mence practiCing the Morse characters. /
learned that he was paying his operator
extra TO remain after business hours and
practice with him. Upon quietly investi-
eating the matter, / ascertained that sew
eral other brokers were assiduously strug-
Cling with the Morse alphabet, with vary
ing success. One broker, who started out
with the expectation of becoming suffi-
ciently expert within six weeks to read
messages coming over the wire at ordinary
speed became somewhat discouraged
when, at the end ofwthat time, he found
it impossible to catch even the small
words. Their idea is that If they can be-
come expert enough to read messages
passing over the wires it would be an easy
matter for them to drop into other
brokers' Offices and, by listening to the
click of the telegraph instruments, per
haps gain some valuable information. -

Difreront Phases Of mind Cure. >.

Now that all forms of mental healing
are much talked of and largely adopted,
it might be well for the public to know
that the disciples of the different schools
resent the common practice of outsiders
bulking them all under the head of "mind
cure" Mind enters into each one, to be
sure, but in different forms and through
different doors. They who practice
christian science" draw healing force
from the Infinite Mind, and consider their
own minds as at most q mere telegraph
line through which the vivifying power
reaches the patients mind. Plain "mind
curen works by the operation of the heal
er's individual mind on the subject, and
partakes of what is known as mesmerism
or hypnotism. Faith cure'' and prayer
cure' are one and the same, both relying
upon faith to override disease.
If any one doubts that the healing of
disease by mental methods is going on
briskly in this city, let him drop into the
offices of some of the best known practi-
TONERS and see the collection of patients
waiting hour after hour in order that
each may get a treatment Nine o'clock
is the hour for beginning the business Of
healing. An hour before that six and
eight patients are in readiness to get their
slice of life and health as drawn from the
infinite source of all life and Wilderness
From that time on until the Office closes
at night it is never empty, and most Of
these reach a point when they declare
themselves healed-New York Press

Benner,s Prophecies for 1883.

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer, who
has gained considerable notoriety through
the newspapers for his predictions OF
future events, and who few years ago
published a small volume on the ups and
downs of prices, which had great sale,
has now communicated his prophecies for
the year 1888, in which he says:
'srhis year, 1883, being the closing year
in this cycle Of low prices--seven years
from 1S8l--is the golden opportunity to
commence the foundation of business.
If there is any benefit to be derived from
will be in taking advantage of them.
"Young men who are about to COM
mence their business career should em-
brace their present opportunity. There
are but few of these chances in an or
dinary life. 1t requires about ten years
to complete an up and down in general
trade.
'When the depressions which follow
commercial crises reach their lowest limit,
as determined by these price cycles, they
afford the best opportunities for invest
ment, and the height of speculative cras
are the most dangerous periods to make a
commencement in anyenterprise
''This is the opportunity for investors to
open a mine, to build a furnace, to erect a
mill, to build a ship, to equip q railroad
and to make investments in agricultural
commercial and industrial operations.

In few states the farmers have expert
mented a little with the white poppy, but
we have not regarded opium as ever
likely to cnt much Of figure among our
products. Mr.. Pratt, the United States
consul at Teheran, who has been study
ing opium culture in Persia, where very
fine article is produced, says he believes
large regions in California and the
southern states are wei adapted to
the cultivation OF the white poppy,
and, in view Of the superior quail
fty Of Persian opium, he details the
methods Of cultivation IN vogue there as
guide for orr poppy raisers Though the
abuse of opium has made Il, in the opin-
ion Of many, q disreputable drug, it
serves large number Of useful purposes,
and IL We could raise what we require for
legitimate uses opium culture would be q

No Such ThInc ns yyaste.

The complete erasure of the Word
s'wasten from the dictionaries, at all
events in so far as it has any relation to
industrial products, is, If not quite an
accomplished fact, undoubtedly becoming
more and more imminent; and we may
thank the chemists of this generation for
teaching us how to recover and utilize in
Vulnerable substances which, in their ig-
norance, our grandfathers threw away.
Thirty years ago the manufacturers of
iron, gas and chemicals, everywhere neg
lected all but the prime objects of their
industries, whereas today, on the system
of taking care of the pennies and allow
ing the pounds to take care of them
selves, competition has induced MS to re-
gard our legionary by-products as SO
many integral parts or branches of each
enterprise. If the intelligent men who
have "gone before" and who were looked
upon by their contemporaries as wise in
their generation, could by any chance re-
appear among us, we might conduct them
TO our gas works. and with certain pride
explain the origin of our sulphate OF am
monia, our aniline dyes and our hundred
other extracts from coal tar.
From the contemplation of gas we
would turn with them to some of our
smelters and furnaces, and point to the
mineral wool, the cement, the glassware,
the pottery, the fire bricks and the fertil-
izer, all derived from our furnace Stag;
and finally, entering a great chemical
works, we should show them how the
once devastating gases, so fatal to life
and vegetation, are no longer sent free
into the air, but are condensed and trans
formed into staple articles of trade, and
how by an ingenious and, to them, un-
dreamed of process we extract the
precious metals from our exhausted sui
phur ores. To their wondering question,
"How can these things be?' we might re-
ply that all these marvels result from a
modern and enlightened policy, which, in
many countries, has fostered every species
of research in every branch of science, en-
couraged great minds to ponder over and
gradually unravel the mysteries of nature,
and stimulated a general thirsting for
that knowledge which, properly applied,
must ever ameliorate our condition in this

A Criticism Of volanuI..

Volapuk is now going through its sec
ond and more deliberate criticism. Sci
ence contains a careful article by Alexan-
der NJ. Bell, in which he concludes that
Volapuk does not solve the problem of a
universal language The system will
meet most favor with nations whose Ian
guages are highly infected. This is not
the trouble with tho English language.
He suggests an International committee
Of English speakers to suggest such inn
provements as would make OF ours q SIM
pier language, adapted to universal use.
A committee of the American Philosophi-
cal society, of which the eminent anthrop-
ologist, DR.. ID. G. Brinton, was chairman,
has also reported that ''Volapuk is
synthetic and complex, whereas all mod
ern dialects are becoming more analytic
and simple; the formal elements Of Vola-
puk are those long since discarded by
Aryan speech. But this committee Of
eminent scholars urge that as the ances-
tors Of all Aryans once used the same
language, so the time is near when once
again unity of speech can be established
for all of our stock, and for ah the rest Of
civilization as well.-Globe- Democrat.

Tho FIorIda RattIesnaIse.

The diamond back'' is scientifically
known as crotalus horridus. You will
know what mean; perhaps you will not.
Possibly my statement of TINT geological
fact will only make cold chills creep down
your back to no purpose. For the name
itself is appalling, and this perhaps is the
reason that the people Of Florida who
wish to encourage immigration merely al
lude to diamond backs lightly and cheer
fully as ''rattlers.n But there are "rat-
tlers'' and rattlers. The rattler Of the
north is more or less common; few have
gone "huckleberryingi often without en-
couraging one. The better the ground
and day for finding berries the better
the chance for rattlesnakes, too. But a
long stick always made short end of
crotalus adamaRteus of northern New
York.
Were the engagement with crotalus
horridus of Florida, should want an
uncommonly long stick, and you might
look with considerable certainty to find
me at the extreme end Of it. The COM
mon name by which this snake is known
comes from the diamond pattern which
nature, ever liberal with her dyes and
designs, has printed upon its back. Moth
ing could be neater or more becoming.
And, so far as looks go, this crotalus is
the handsomest and best dressed of his
kind. But, since 'handsome is that hand
some does'' only, the diamond back is not
generally admired in the circles wherein
he moves, breathes and principally has
his being. st. Nicholas.

missionaries and fourteen colporters now

eighteen foreign missionaries In China, Att
cs, Japan. Mexico, and Cubs.
The response by Rev. Mr.. Cobb embodied
an appropriate and beautiful allegorY Of the
mother church in the person Of the annual

willie and Greensboro and Charlotte, Raleigh,
Goldsboro'. and Wilmington.
At this point some eight or ten ministers
