A Wonderful Typewriting Machine.

Wier's crytograph is small type
writing apparatus lending itself admir-
ably to the purposes of secret CORES
pondence. The apparatus is only about
twelve inches long by three inches wide
and one and a half inches high. 1t
consists of type-carrier for ordinary
letters and figures, which can be placed
in any order that may be desired.
There is also movable index plate on
which the letters and figures appear in
the order in which they are placed in
the type-carrier. On a small tablet in
tie center of the machine are four
white specs and central black one,
and opposite these specks is movable
pointer. By setting the pointer to the
black space the machine can be used as
simple, ordinary typewriter, To
work it the index plate is shifted to the
right or left until each required letter
is in front of a pointer connected with
the printing key. By adjusting the
plate and pressing the key an ordinary
typewriter letter can be prepared.
For writing the movable pointer is set,
say, to the first white space, reading
from left to right. A message can then
be written in an unintelligible cipher.

Education at Home.

A Detroit father has undertaken
a little educational venture with his
own children, and he is trying to make
them give up slang, and the use of am
biguous terms of speech and other Pc
culiarities affected by the youth of
the day. Yesterday he asked his IA
year-old daughter where a-certain book
was.
Il haven't an idea, papar' answered
the young lady.
Il didn't ask you for IDEAS said the
father sternly. 'just answer my ques-
ton. Where is that book?"
''On the top shelf in the book case"
recited the girl, like parrot
Can you reach it?'
Yes. sir.
There was long silence. the father
waiting impatiently for the book. At
last he asked:
Nell. why don't you bring it?"
Bring what, sir.'
1.-The book | wanted"
You did not say you wanted me to
get it, said the daughter in demure
voice, You asked me if | could reach

made his mustache tremble, ..ret that

MisuuotatiOns.

It is peculiar faculty of human
memory to misguote proverbs and poe
try. and almost invariably to place the
credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that THE
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb is from the Bible. whereas Law
renee Sterne is the anthor. Pouring
oil upon the troubled waters is also
ascribed to the sacred volume, whereas
it is not there; in fact no one knows its
origin.
Again, we hear people say: The
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string" This is arrant nonsense. as
the proyerb says:
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof and not in chewing the
string"
Nothing is more common than TO
hear:
man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still.
This is an impossible condition Of the
mind for no one can be convinced OF
an opinion ar& at the same time hold
an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was eminently sensible.
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
A famous passage of Scripture is
often misquoted thus: He that is
without sin among you, let him cast the
first stone" 1t should be: LET him
first cast stone"
Sometimes we are told: Behold
how great fire little matter kind
leth," whereas st. James said: BE
hold how great matter little fire
kindleth," which is quite a different
thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as mile" which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb: "a miss
of an inch is as good as mile"

Pope is generally credited with hav-
ing written:
Immodest words admit of no defense,
For want of decency is want of sense,
though it would puzzle any one to find
the verses in his writings. They were
written by the Earl of Roscommon, who
died before Pope was born.
Franklin said Honesty is the best
policy" but the maxim is of Spanish
origin, and may be found in Don
QuiXote."

Story of "Partington."

The beginning of the Darlington
paragraphs was something like the loss
of Mr.. Silas Wegg's LEG, I'm an acct
dent" There was no intention or pre-
meditation in the matter, and the re-
suit was great surprise to me. 1t
was at time when steamers twice a
month brought news from Europe, and
one arrival brought the intelligence
that breadstuffs had advanced in price.
This was the occasion for a three-line
paragraph, which, | think, ''set upn
without writing, stating that Mrs.
Darlington said that it made no differ
ence to her whether the price of flour
increased or not, as she always had to
pay just so much for half a dollars
worth. The name was not chosen,
but it came with Il sudden memory of
Sydney Smiths dame, who mopped
back the Atlantic when it overhowed
into her cottage at Sidmouth. l had
no intention for aught beyond the mo-
ment. Flattered bysthe success of this
virgin effort, which was copied every

moment became sort of point d'dppai

Vacation Sch Jots.

One OF the most important results
served by the well-orgaHized vacation
schools IS found in the fact that the stu
dent is called on 10 pursue for one or
two months a single subject OF study, TO
which he gives his entire attention. In
the ordinary curriculum OF our schools,
even those of professional grade, the
scholar is required to subdiyide his
time; rarely can he give the whole OF
his attention for even single day to
one department of work Generally,
it is nine to ten grammar, ten 10 eleven
geometry, eleven to twelve history,
etc. There is no chance for connected
thought; indeed, the system appears as
if designed to make all orderly and
vigorous inquiry impossible. The
youth learns from it alacrity, tine power
of swiftly changing from one line OF
thought to another, which may be
wofth something as Il preparation for
the hurly-burly of the outer world but
it fails to give him the far more pre-
cious training in the habit Of patient
devotion to one appointed task. The
result is that most of our college grad
mates have never done a single piece OF
thoroughly consecutive work, such as
they will be called on to perform in the
walks of life to which they must betake
themselves.
The profit of scientific training can
not be had through work done in the
scattered hours which in a way suffice
for the other forms of training. The
work the student has to do in natural
science must be done in the laboratory
or the field: it must be done continu-
ously. all day and from week to week,
before the student can attain to the
profit which awaits the true naturalist.
To all who adequately conceive the
need of such work, the hour-here-and-
there system for any other than purely
international purposes Is preposper-
Gus. The student may gain measure
of information concerning botany,
GEOLOGY, or other branches of natural
science from occasional lectures or lab
oratorv exercises, but the training lie re-
ceiyes is not worth anything. The ell
der Agassiz was used TO say that the
student of natural science must take
time to 'let the facts soak into him,
and he considered 4 month n short
time for even a small body Of facts to
penetrate in this manner into the stu
dents mind; all teachers of such learn
ing will agree with that master in this
opinion. The only chance for this con-
solidated work which our school system
affords to the new education is found in
the vacation periods. BY making avail
of those parts of the year which can
not be made to serve the needs of the
humaniiies, science may hope to win a
firmer place in education tfan can be
obtained in any other way.--N. S.

One of Stetson'S Whims.

John StetSon, who was manager of
Booths Theater and the Fifth Avenue
Theater some years ago. hasn't very
much of artistic in his makeup, but he
has a good deal of what he calls ''horse
sense" He doesn't intend that any
actor shall Get the best of him. Some
years ago comic opera, called Pip
pens" was produced ut his theater in
Boston. the Globe. and in the course of
the performance II amateur actor who
has become quite we'll known as u
manager since then appeared OH the
stage, clad in white fulS and made up
to represent an immense cat, and
'miaued'' and capered about the stage
for something like ten minutes. The
little speciality did not take well with
the first nights audience, and Stetson
ut once ordered pussy out of the east.
The amateur demanded weeks sal
airy at once. saying that he had been
engaged for a full week.
Very We'll" said Stetson, "come
around tomorrow night, and through
the week, and earn it.
The young man appeared the second
night. and remained on the stage IN
go, but MIR. Stetson stopped him.
Get into your costume aud give
your performance, said the manager.
But Mr.. Stetson, the performance
is over"
Never mind the rest of the show. You
have got to do your part of it now for
me.
And 50 the actor had TO "miau and
caper' for ten minutes with Stetson as
the only auditor. The next night he
tried TO beg of. and offered to give up
a proportional part of the salary. but
Stetson held him 10 the agreement TO
play the Fart OF PuSS for a week.
Sometimes the manager remained to
witness the young mans efforts, and
sometimes he kept a group Of stage
hands as an audience The actol
thought that he had fully earned his
salary when he got it.

various sizes, shapes and descriptions.
They thought it would De great fun to
have weighing bee then and there,
and began to fish deep down into their
pockets for 5-cent pieces. One of them,
the first to get upon the scales, had a
pound package of saleratus in. her
hand. why, Laura" exclaimed one
OF the others, you'll weigh a pound
more than you actually do; you've got
that saleratus in your hand" ..Oh, la,
how stupid of me-" exclaimed the wo-

the saleratus into her pocket. A puz-
zled look came into her face. and in an
injured tone she said: Il don't see
that it makes "A bit Of difference: the
old scales are not good for anything; |

The other ladies laughed and said
nothing, and it was flliy five minutes
before Laura realized that a pound in
