AN ADEPT AT RESIGNiNG.
The Accountants Novel Method of TAX.
Ing n Vacation.

Living in a fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is a
gentleman who invariably attracts at.
tention by his long hair. Strangers
always conclude that he is nothing
less than a great lawyer or bank presi
dent. When the more curious ask his
feilow-townsmen about him they are
told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one of
the best accountants in the metropolis,
stepped up to the president of the bank
by which he is employed and said he
had decided TO resign and that the
resignation must go into effect immedi-
ately.
The president was 10th to lose so
valuable a man and urged him to econ
slider the matter. lie talked with him
for an hour but to no purpose. The
employc, whose skill as i mathema-
tician was beyond anything evcr met
with by the officials of the bank, was
bound to leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any eason
for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
bank was obliged to get along Is best
it could without him.
Ten days later the cashier was
astonished on entering the bank to
find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned.

Important typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company. granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of hat machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one a it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters. The Bennington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
in some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
Infringement. Until these cases arc
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save a few dol
lars n man does not want to buy a ma
chine with a law suit attachment, espe-
cially when the other machine is the

later that heknew nothing whatever OF
medicine. and that his little plasters,
waters and drugs were worth no more
than so much fetish. He heralded his
coming everywhere, Just as the quack
doctors do in this country, and the sim
ple-rninded natives iocked to him from
far and near to secure the benefits of
his wonderful treatment He remained
only two or three weeks in a place, and
then would seek other fields. He took
payment in cattle, and from place to
place he drove his herd. which cost him
nothing for food and kept rapidly in
creasing in size.
Finally he ~reappeared on the coast
with a herd of about one Thousand six
hundred cattle out Of which he had
bunkoed the natives. As he had no
medical skill and the contents of the
mysterious bag probably were not
worth ten dollars, he found the business
a paying one. The natives after he
had swindled them, made up their
minds as to his true character, and the
German agent writes that it probably
would not be safe o for any itinerate
dealer in medicine and cures to travel
through the country; however honest
and competent he might be.
The agent says, however, that there
is a fine opening in southwest Africa
for some young practitioner who is hav-
ing hard work building up a practice in
Germany. He names the town where
the young man should settle, and says
he is confident that a few years prac-
tice among the natives there would en-
able him to return to Germany with a
snug little fortune. The agent will ex-
ercise great care to prevent any more
quaeks and humbugs from getting into
the country and giving the natives an
~unfavorable impression of all white
men.-Chicago Times.

AeSuRoITIEs IN SPELLING.

English Writers Do Not Take Kindly to
Any Changes In Their OrthoEraphy.
Far he it from mt to appear as the
defender Of the american spelling
which the British journalists denounce.
This american spelling" is less alb.
surd than the British spelling only in
so far as it has varied therefrom. Even
in these variations there is abundant
absurdity. Once upon a time most
words that now are spelt with a final
c had an added k. Even now both
British and American usage re.
tains this X in hammock, although
both British and Americans have drop
ped the needless letter from havoc;
end of almanack. and the Americans
have dropped it DIR. johnson was
a reactionary in photography as in
politics; and in his dictionary he wilful-
ly put a final k to words like optick,
without being generally followed by
the publick-as he would have speIt it.
Music was then musick, although, even
as late as Aubrey's time, It had been
musique. In our own day we are wit
Messing the very gradual substitution
of the logical technic for the form origi-
nally imported from France-technique.
As yet, 70 far as I have observed, no at
tempts have been made to modify the
foreign spelling Of clique and oblique.
l am inclined to think that technic il
replacing technique more rapidly-or
should I say less slowlyP-in the United
States than in Great Britain. We
Americans like to assimilate our words
and to make them our own,
while the British have rather a
fondness for foreign phrases. A
London journalist recently held up
to public obloquy as an 'igno-
rant Americanism" the word pro-
gram, although he would have
found it set down in Prof. Skat's
chronological Dictionary: PRO
gramme was taken from the French, so
a recent writer reminds us, and in vio-
iation of analogy, seeing that, when it
was imported into English. we had al
ready anagram, cryptogram, diagram,
epigram, ETC." The logical form, pro-
gram, is not common even in America,
and British writers seem to prefer the
French form, as British speakers give a
French pronunciation to charade, which
in America has long since been accept
ed frankly as an English word. So we

Sketches, referring to the aspha1te;
