Origin Of Bookkeeping.

The origin of bookkeeping like
that of most other useful arts, is in
volved in great obscurity. Systematic
bookkeeping is generally admitted to
have been first practiced at Venice,
in the fifteenth century. Lucas de
Borgia published a regular treatise on
the subject. in the Italian language. in
1895 Beckman, in his History of
Inventions" says that the Banians of
India have been from time immem
orial in possession of the method
of bookkeeping by double entry.
Other authors think that double
entry was known to the ancients.
and revived only in Italy with
the revival of commences; and certain
quotations are adduced in support of
this opinion, which show that the an
clients entered the receipts and pay
ments of money on opposite pages in
the way of debtor and creditor; but
nothing beyond single-entry can be
inferred from this practice. The first
treatise on bookkeeping in the En-
glish language, of which there is any
account was published in the year
1543 by Hugh Oidcastle, a schoolmas-
Ter. London Standard.

very much like England or Portugal
compared with our new Western States.
In the one caseet is a question of econ
omy, of higher output, of making the
most of ones familiar resources; in
the other it is a question of exploita-
tation, of frontier enterprise and of the
presumption and occupancy of virgin
soil. The Geographic struggles and
agitations that arrest public attention
belong to Wall street, for those that
once occupied the schools and the pat
ent courts have almost all been dis
posed OF. In one direction, however,
the telegraph will sooner or later at
tract notice, and that is as a leading
political issue. 1t has always been
somewhat singular that the newspapers
most DESTROYS of Governmental control
of the telegraph should be eager in
welcome of any new contestants with
the Western Union Company, whether
it be Mr.. Garrett executing ancestral
schemes, or Mr.. Mackay backed by
mines of silver. Five years of unin-
terrupted monopoly by the great cor
poration, whose appetite for rivals has
grown by what it feeds upon, might
settle the controversy forever.-1hona-

TREES FOR SHADE.
Varieties Adapted for Planting Along Pub
lie Hfghways.

lie Highways.
It is as essential to use only such as
are adapted for creating desired eff
fects, as to choose fruit trees best
suited to our particular location. The
blending of fruit and shade trees on
lawn or street is mistaken attempt to
combine utility and ornament. What
is needed for an avenue is shade, pleas
ing outline and color. Hardness is
essential, of course. and freedom from
injurious insects and destructive dis
eases, The tendency to form an open
top or bullying base, as in the silver
maple, is an obvious objection. Again,
there are trees, such as Norway maple,
which show decided inclination to
droop with age; and no species or va
riety with a dropping habit should be
employed for any street or avenue. AS
rule, large foliage is preferable to
small, as the former shows tendency
to cast denser shade and creates a
more pleasing effect when in long lines.
Rapidity Of growth is important to
avenue trees, although not indispensa-
BILE. Trees which develop quickly are
apt to be open in construction, and
therefore need the pruner's art to as
sist in forming a more compact head.
American linden, silver-leaf maple,
Carolina poplar (so-called), salisburia,
ETC., are examples of this class. On
the other hand, such medium growers
as sugar maple, the beeches. oaks, and
some others, do not require cutting
back to produce density, but only an
occasional nipping of some too vigor-
Gus branch.
For long line of trees in an en-
closed area, two distinct species may
be used, but in such cases it may be
we'll to select those affording a decided
contrast in form and color. This,
however, is dangerous ground, and
should be well considered before select
ing the kinds. Norway NAPLES and
hemlock spruces arranged alternately
will prove very attractive; or purple
beech and sugar naples contrast well.
The large-leaved trees. such as mag
nolias, work in well with the elms; and
such conical forms as Nordmann's fir
or Oriental spruce answer to plant with
round-headed species like horsechest-
nuts. Still, it is questionable whether
more than one species planted together
will give entire satisfaction: perhaps
the majority of land scape gardeners
would decide against the combination.
The general idea of an avenue is uni
formity, and any thing that detracts
from this is detrimental to the effect,
no matter whether it be size, form,
color, or growth. No better evidence
of careful selection can be advanced
than most town streets afford where
the owners have very different ideas of
fitness. For the public highway a good
selection would be American and silver
leaved lindens; sugar maple; white,
swamp-white, willow, scarlet and red
oak; Carolina poplar; Oriental sycamore
and American elm. -JosiGh Hopes, in

The Commercial Importance of the Ma
TONS Telegraph Systems.
Each of the great departments of
electrical application has it's own in
teresting story or pertinent moral, and
each is typical exemplification of the
rapidity with which, in America, the
visionary idea of one hour becomes
the prosaic reality of the next The

electrical successes, and is an old friend
of the present generation. Its ten

whose columns it half fills. Its wires
have long been among the strongest
ligatures that can unite nation so
widely distributed from sea to sea as
4ours. 1t has profoundly affected inter-
national relations, provoking from
Prince Bismarck the odd complaint that
diplomacy has, therefore, ceased to be
uuctuous.a Fit expression, as it is, of
this fussy, alert, inquisitive and in
tense age. it has become hackneyed
and commonplace. Yet it has been in
use bare fifty years, for it was only
Ia January, 1888. that Professor Morse
completed his rough operative model
of the recording electromagnetic tele-
graph, and exhibited it in this city.
EARLY associates of Morse are still liv-
sag who helped him string his primi-
live land lines, while Mr.. Cyrus Field
recalls easily, across scant quarter of
= century, the vivid memories of the
failure of the first cables, when hope
aud funds were both exhausted, and
Dr- Holmes apostrophized in caustic
verse the mythical De Sauty. who in
sisted throughout that every thing was
-'ssll right when there was a we'll

was very decidedly wrong At the
Erresent time dozen cables span
the Atlantic between Europe and
America. In 1886 there were

of work done in analogous services
such as police, fire, burglar alarm

figures are in themselves an Indication

Green and Yellow Brooms.

The best broom is of light green
color, which indicates that the material
is of the best fexibility and toughness.
The cheap broom corn is of a sickly
yellow or lemon color. Manufacturers
who use only the green splints assert
that the manufacturers of the yellow
splints give them a green bath, and
that the coloring matter has Paris
green in it, SO that when the house,
wife takes splint to try her cake she
may be putting a deadly poison in it.
The men who make this dye, however,
say that it is harmless vegetable
compound. Good HousekeeptaaQ.
