Tho Various shorshana ry.rcm..

There have been shorthand systems In
different languages. In the days Of
Cicero there was a sort of shorthand in
use, md shorthand has been in use in
England back to 1900. One Of the most
prominent systems in use there is the
Guerney system, and the Guerneys are
the great parliamentary reporters Of
England. There was for long time an
amanuensis under Murphy who wrote
the Quincy system and who worked un-
der the Gurneys. He told ME one day
that he did not like the Quincy system
as well as the methods used in this coun-
try; that it is harder to learn, and that Il
takes longer to write it.
One of the curious old time house re
porters was a man named Hincks, who
was an Englishman and who was
graduate of Oxford. No one but him.
self could read his shorthand, but 1t was
perfectly legible to him. He had q good
memory, and he relied upon it largely in
writing out his notes. He represented
'the world" by circle, ''in the world

ny a dot outside of tho circle, and
Through the world" was q circle with q

The American is great consumer of
toothpicks. :, He not only picks his teeth
in private, but he does it in public, and
perhaps finishes by chewing up the
wooden implement. To supply the mil
lions of toothpicks used every year, in
genious machines of great productive
power have been invented. Like all
other businesses, the toothpick business
has its combination, but Maine inventor
has set out to break it with machine
that makes G,000, 900 picks day. And
he is making a new machine that

clear, straight grained birch and maple
wood is used, and after steaming for sew
eral hours it is easily cut into veneers, or
thin strips of wood with the grain run

and wound up on large spools, 100 feet
on each, and from the spools they are
fed into the pick machine, which cuts
them into picks with wonderful rapidly:

Ashes Of tho Dead.

I have q German friend, an artist,
whose father was for many years one of
the best known professors of his speciality
in this city. He had shop in central
district and sold philosophical instru-
ments of special class, in whose con-
struction and application he was an ex-
pert. He died q couple of years ago. I
recently called on my friend and spent
the evening with him and his widowed
mother. A portion Of our conversation
turned upon the dead professor, and sew
eral times noticed that the widow or
the son in abiding to papa" as they
called him, with tender affection, mo-
toned toward simple terra Gotta urn,
locked behind the glass door o.. hand
some cabinet in the corner Of the wall.
learned later that the urn held the ashes
of the dead man, who had been cremated
by his own request, and that it was the
intention Of tho mother to have her own
ashes mingled with his when the time
should come, and both buried together.

Elastic Concrete for pavements.

An ingenious employee Of New Jer-
sey concrete firm has invented paving
composition which has some very re-
markable features. He claims that his
preparation. the composition of which
he keeps secret, is just Us durable rs
stone, but is soft and elastic to the tread,
80 that it is not only pleasant to walk
upon but actually gives the foot an inn
pulse like that-in lesser degree, Of
course-gained from springboard.
Whether his invention be a possibility or
not, something of the kind would GER
tainly be acceptable to tired townfolk
whose feet ache and blister as they stamp
along on the hard and noisy pavement. -

DRESSES Tor Young princesscs.

Tho common sense idea of dressing
children with q view to their health
rather than their looks has received a
noteworthy exemplification at the hands
of their highnesses of Spain. Some
dresses recently made for the young
princesses were simple little frocks of
French muslin, pure white, with tucks
above the hem and rows of perpendicular
insertion above that. The bodices were
of n piece with the skirts, which were
provided with invisible tucks to let them
down as the children grow.-Chicago

Mental and Bodily Ovcrworls.

The London Lancet says that mental
and bodily overwork is the most general
and the least regarded form of illness in
this age. Its treatment requires that due
attention be paid to the two great essen
tials of timely rest and wholesome diet,
A man, says The Lancet, may work on
a liberal scale, provided he will interrupt
its continuity by timely and adequate in
tervals of rest, and will eat heartily Of
plain food. So long as appetite and sleep
are unimpaired, there is little danger of
overwork, but the failure of either is ma
lures warning signal that the strain must
be relieved. Youths COM rnion.

A Very PECULIAR Ailment.

No complaint is so common among

an ailment which regular practitioners
tlo hot recognize. This is speedily cured.
The patient, after swallowing large doses
of salt water, seats himself upon the
floor; his medical adviser searches dill
gently for the lock of hair growing in
the center of the crown; finding it, he
gives pull, mighty pull, brings the
palate into position, and thc'iock Of hair
often entirely out. After having once
undergone this ordeal of "pallit raisin',"
