Improvements in Telerraphy,

have often been asked how it is possible to divide a single telegraph wire and send different messages on each side of it. The novice says: "I should think there would be tumble somewhere along the line, :" and, to tell the truth, it looks to me as though the uninitiated were about right but for one thing, and that is the perfection achieved in the invention of instruments with which to control the wire. There is one curious feat ure cannot fully explain myself, and that Is that very often while one aide of the wire is working perfectly the other side will refuse to perform it's functions. The instruments in the main office appear to be all right, but you can do nothing to rectny the evil. Speaking of inventions in telegraphic instru- ments, the Wheatstone Is a marvel, and will, firmly believe, eventually do with telegra- phy what the "plug" machine has done for tobacco rolhng-reduce the number of opera tors required by the hundreds It's effect in this direction is already being felt in all the larger cities of the country.

Girls Buck Saw Exercise.

An entertainment in Worcester, Mass. a day or two ago was closed by wood saving match On the platform stood seven saw horses silently awaiting developments. By the side of each saw lay two sticks of wood one big and one little one. Each stick was to be cut twice in two, and the young lady who completed the task first was to receive a silver pin, with a graven image of a buck saw rampant thereon, while the lady last to push the serrated steel through the red oak was to have a bottle of Mother Winslow's soothing syrup.
 To the music of piano accompaniment the seven young ladies formed in line. Some of them bashfully rested the knee against the stick of wood to hold it in place, while tho others went at 1t in business fashion, putting the foot up where 1t belonged, showing dainty little ankles and pretty little frills All of them blushed moro or less as they saw the at- tention paid to their lingerie by the male portion of the audience.
 A Miss Denholm cut the first stick of the quickest, the second also, and looked like @ sure winner; but her grit was more than her strength. Miss Rogers gained and passed her, finishing first and second respectively in Inn. los. and Inn. 2Os-New York Star

The Engineers Mascot.

An engineer on the Danvillo railroad, be- tween Danvillo and Springfield, Ills, has a cat that loves railroading. For several years the cat has journeyed with the engineer on his regular runs, usually sitting in the cab window before its master. Sometimes in fine weather it strolls out on the pilot and lies there for hours at a stretch, blinking at the dogs that bark as tho, train thunders by Sometimes 1t climbs to the top of the sand box, and sits there undisturbed by the shriek of the whistle or the clang of the bell Tho cat used to belong to the engineers wife, who Is dead, and he wouldn't part with 1t for love or money. The engine has had good luck ever since the cat attached itself to it, and the train hands think that it Is a mascot Boston Budget.

AMERICAN WOMEN.
There Arc Mono of Them Stupid Looking.
 Attention They Receive.

AtVent1On They xteCo1v0.
 That which struck me most In America, from first to last, is the total absence of stupid looking faces All arc not hand some. but all are intelligent and beaming with activity. In my opinion, 1t is in this that American beauty mainly consists. In the large cities of the east, the first thing which caught my attention was the thinness of the men and the plumpness of the women This seemed to hint that the former lived in furnace of activity and the latter in s3ston wool This impression soon deepened into a conviction 1t seemed to me that her lot was as near to being perfection as an earthly lot could be. A respect amounting to reverence Is shown for her, and it appears to be the chief aim of her protectors to surround her with luxury and make her path through life a sunny one. So far as adding to her mental and physical grace goes, this plan of making every woman an uncrowned queen has answered completely. Seeing her high po- dtion, she has set herself to work to fill it be- comingly, and it is the cultivation of Ameri- cas daughters, it is their charming inie- pendence and @ consciousness of their power that make them so attractive and render American society so delightful to the stranger In their treatment of women, the Americans might give more than one lesson to the men of the old world, even to the Frenchman, who, in the matter of politeness, lives good deal. am afraid, on the reputation of his ancestors The respect for women, in Ameri- ca, seemed to me to be perfectly disinterested, purely platonic. In France, this respect almost always borders on gallantry. A Frenchman will always stand back to let a woman pass, but he will generally profit by the occasion to take good look at her.
 If on outsider be competent to form an irS0 ' <<. Al woman does not render to man tithe of the devotion she receives from him. The French wife repays husbands devotion by protect ing his interests-an American one too often repays 1t by breaking into his capital-Max O'Reu in Forum.

"Exquisitei" sadd Kendall in Mrs Stuart's cor, as he stood behind her chair. ''She was romance itself! Her acting should always be kind of gloriasd and poetical pantomine: she would sbe inlmitable so."
 Mrs. Stuart looked up and smiled agree mont.
 "Yes, that soene lives with one. If every thing else in tho play is poor, she is worth seeing for that alone. Remember itr'
 The little warning was in season, for tho poor White Lady had but too many after op- Portunities of blurring the impression she had made. In the great situation at the end of the second act, in which the countess has to give, in the presence of the court a sum- mary of the supposed story of the White Lady, her passion at once of love and hatred charges 1t with a force and meaning, which. Tor the hrst time, rouses the suspicious of the prince as to the reality of the supposed ap- partition. In the two or three fine and dramatic speeches which the situation in- volved, tho actress showed the same absence of knowledge and resources as before, the same powerlessness to create @ personality, the same lack of all those quicker and more delicate of perceptions which we include under the general term refinement" and which, in the practice of any art, ere the out some of long and complex processes of educa- sion. There, indeed, was the bald, plain fact she whole explanation of her failure as an artist lay ill her lack both of the lower and of tho higher kinds of education. It was evident that her technical training had been of the toughest In all technical respects, Indeed, her acting had self taught, pro vincial air. which showed you that sho had natural cleverness, but that her medals had been of tho poorest type. And In all other respects, when 1t came to interpretation or creation, she was spoiled by her entire want of that inheritance from the past which is the foundation of all good work in tho prss- ent. Tor an actress must have one of tho two kinds of knowledge; she must havs either the knowledge which comes from . fine training-in itself the outcome of long

CHAPTER ".

A few days after the performance of the "White Lady," Kendall, in the course of h $ weekly letter to his sister, sent her fairly detailed account of the evening, including the interview with her after the play which had left two or three very marked impress sions upon him. 1T wish," he wrote, II could only convey to you sense of her per sonal charm such as might balance the inl- pression of her artistic defects, which 1 SUD- pose this account of mine cannot but leave on you. When l came away that night after our conversation with her l had en- tirely forgotten her failure as an actress, over the evening in detail, that have re- turned to my first standpoint of wonder at the easy toleration of the English public. When you are actually with her, talking to her, looking at her, Forbes attitude Is the only possible and reasonable one What does art, or cultivation, or training matteri found myself saying, as l walked home, in echo of him-so long as nature will only condescend once in @ hundred years to pro- duce for us creature so perfect. so finely fashioned to all beautiful usesl Let other people go through the toll to acquire; their aim is truth; but hero is beauty in it's quin- tessence, and what Is beauty but three parts of truthi Beauty Is harmony with the uni FeISta4 OIucT, ToSel6IlOu OI l6WD ana peTIeC- tions of which, in our common groping through dull world, we find in general nothing to remind us. And, if 80, what folly to ask of human creature thatit should be more than beautiful! It is a messenger from the gods, and we treat it as if it were any common traveller along the highway of life, and cross examine it for its credentials in- stead of raising our altar and sacrificing to 1t with grateful hearts
 ''That was my latest impression of Friday night. But, naturally, by Saturday morn ing had returned to the rational point of view. The minds morning climate is re- moved by many degrees from that of the evening; and the critical revolt which the whole spectacle of the White Lady had originally reused ill me revived in all its force. began, indeed, to feel as if I and humanity, with its long. lAborious tradition, were on one side. holding our own against . young and arrogant aggressor namely, beauty, in the person of Miss Rretherton. How many men and women, I thought, have labored and struggled and died in the effort to reach higher and higher perfec- ton in one single art, and are they to be out done, eclipsed in . moment, by something which Is mere freak of nature; something which, like the lilies of the field, has neither toiled nor spun, and yet claims the special inheritance and reward of those who havel

DefyinY 8 Governor,

Long before the war by which the thirteen American colonies became independent states, they were often engaged in struggles to pre- vent royal governors from encroaching on their rights and privileges In the autumn of 1883 Governor Fletcher, of New York, went to Hartford to assert there his author ity as commander-in-chief of the militia of Connecticut
 The royal commission had intrusted him with large powers over the militia of the colony, and he ordered 1t out, though the season for parades had ended and the charter of Connecticut denied bis jurisdiction.
 Il will not set my foot out of this colony" said Fletcher, haughtily, to the governor, until have seen his majestyhs commission obeyed"
 The Connecticut governor yielded so far as to order Capt. Wadsworth to call out the train bands of Hartford. The result Is de- scribed in Lossing's History of the Empire State"
 When the troops were assembled, Fletcher stepped forward to take command, and ordered his aid to read his excellency's com mission. Capt. Wadsworth ordered the
 'Slencel" angrily cried Fletcher, and tho aid began to read
 Drum! drum!" shouted Wadsworth, and the roll of the drums drowned the aids voice.
 Silence" again cried the enraged gov. ernor, and threatened the captain with pun ishment
 Wadsworth stepped in front of the furious governor, rested his hand on his sword, and said, calmly: If my drummers are inter rupted again, I'll make the sunlight show through you! We deny and defy your au- thority."
 Tho governor folded up his commission, returned to New York and complained to the king of his treatment; but nothing came of bis complaint-Youth's Companion.

Color BlinGlnesS.

A short time ago tested tho color percep- tion of forty-two boys who had had kinder garten training. Their ages were from 9 to Is. Not one of them made an error in match Ing colors They were not asked to name them. This result suggests further investi- gation upon this class of pupils, not only to add one more fact to our knowledge of color blindness, but also to determine the value of early instruction in colors.-Arthur Stevens in Science.
