BALMAcEDA and Boulanger each
left an aged mother. 1t appears that
each man wrote letter the day be-
fore he committed suicide, addressed
to his mother which said simply: Il
go on a long journey" This duplica-
ton of last maternal messages was
not the only resemblance in their
feverish career or their self-inficted
death. 1t already appears, too, that
the cause that each man protested to
hold dear has survived in each coun-
try. The Boulangists seem to have
revived since the death of the man
that gave their party its name, and
the new CHILEAN "elections" have re-
suited in the choice of a Liberal
Balmaceda's partly Senate.

Ii will take more than an open let
ter from Lord Tennyson to convince
the world that the Gar of Russia is
an excellent and amiable person, not
at all responsible for the cruclties
and crimes which make his domain a
scandal to the world. Very likely
the Car was amiable to the poet, but
let Lord Tennyson go to Russia and
let fall few revolutionary words and
the chances are that his views will
undergo a change.

The writer watched telegraph operator
as he clicked on a typewriter the words
that came over the wire. The trip-trip of
the typewriter sounded SO much like the
dot-dash of the telegraph instrument that
it seemed curious that no confusion was
occasioned. 1t seemed inevitable that the
two noises must sometimes lead to dou bt
in the operators mind. But when spoken
to about this he said:
"There is no real similarity between
these sounds, so far as the trained ear is
concerned. That is not the chief difficulty
in this combination. The difficulty is in
spontaneously striking the right type
writer letter, in turning the lines correctly
and in not making a slip that viii make it
impossible for you to keep up with the
telegraph key. Of course the typewriter is
more rapid than the Morse system can be
made, but the turning of the lines, the
spacing and the hyphenating at the ending
of the lines when You neglect to carry over
the whole word bring down the speed very
closely to the key. You see the telegraph
operator has to make sometimes five dis
tinct dots or dashes for one letter, while
the typewriter key makes letter at one
stroke. The Morse dots are made by a
very slight motion, however, while the
| typewriter stop has to have certain firm
| ness equivalent in expended force to sew
eral of the telegraph key motions. San

The Origin of the a,enu.

gives the following account of the origin
of the menu: AT the meeting of electors
i'll Regensburg in the year 1859, Elector
Henry, of Braunschweig, attracted gem
eral notice at II state dinner. He had a
long paper before him, to which he re-
ferred every time before he ordered dish.
The Earl of Montfort, who sat near him,
asked him what he was reading. The cleo
tor silently handed the paper to his inter-
rogator. 1t contained a list of the viands
prepared for the occasion, which the cleo
tor had ordered the cook to write ont for
him. The idea of having such a list SO
pleased the illustrious assembly that they
introduced it each in his own household,
and since that time the fashion of having
a menu has spread all over the civilized
world

On an island in Loeb Maree is wishing
tree. 1t has been nearly killed by kind
ness, poor thing. To accomplish the wish
it is necessary to knock into the bark of it
some kind of coin. The result is that
pence and small silver coins can be seen
sticking in the bark like pins in a cushion.
The very poor put in nails and pins. There
is a saying that fools put in the coins for
wise men to take them out. Certainly no
gold was visible, although the queen set
the gold fashion by herself depositing a
sovereign in the gnarled old tree when she
staid at Loeb Maree few years ago.-Lon-

less q detective, would be guilty of
writing such an absurd letter as this.
But it seems upon investigation that
there is no doubt OF the authorship
of the letter, as the Signature of j. +.
Haber has been identified. --
The letter is az follows:
Mr.. Bowel, Esq Dear Sir: I drop
