TELEGRAPHING IN CHINESE.

Laundry Tickets Can be Wired in Fac
Simiie on the T~e1autograph.
The new t~elautograph invented by
Prof. Elisha Gray, and now OF exhibition
in New York and elsewhere, is the best
device yet brought out to meet the want
which has long existed for an apparatus
which will write in fac-simile at the re-
ceiviug station a message written by un :
trained operator. with au ordinary pen Or
peucil, at the other end Of the line. This
remarkable invention is described at
length in the current Engineering MGgd-
CINE bv Mr.. William Maser, Jr., a dIstin-
guished electrical expert, in lan guage
suited for popular reading. While many
Journals AVE contained accounts more
or less full of this new invention. there
are some features connected with its
operation and possibilities which are
brought out for the first lime in the paper
here referred to. One of these features is
that 1t is the first system BY. which mes
sages may be transmitted by Wire in
Chinese. Mr.. Maver writes:-
A notable feature of the t~elautograph is
that characters of any description. includ-
simple writing. may be transmitted by
means of it. This opens a field in which
such a system might have a monopoly
the transmission of Chinese and Japanese
writing. Siuce the Chinese '~'alphabet"
consists of many thousands of characters,
it would be impracticable to employ such
| a code of signals as those composing tine
! Morse alphabet for telegar.tphiug in that
language. There might be required for
a single character, perhaps. fifty dots and
| as many dashes. When IL is now desired
| TO dispatch a message in Chiua, the
| sender imparts, in Chinese speech or
| writing. the substance of his message TO
| telegraph operator. who refers to a code
| book containing Chinese characters re-
presenting the phrases most current
among merchants, and transmits In Eug'
| iish the numbers corresponding to hose
| phrases, for wardinG the numbers to the
proper station. There the operator, BY
| the aid OF a duplicate code book. retrans-
| lates the message into Chinese and sends
it to the addressee,-a practice certainly
not conductive TO accuracy.

SHUTTING QUE EYES.

Very miserable people are those who
go through the world seeing too much.
They plume themselves upon their aoli-
fly, and proclaim everywhere the Won
uerful secrets their sharp-sightedness
has discovered. They find out small de-
linuvencies and trifing offences of friends.
n%eighbors and servants. We are not at
nli obliged to them for what they reveal.
Ga the contrary, we continually tremb-
ling lest our owl pet sin be brought 10
light, or our friends dear little secret
weakness exposed.
Il is not hard to gain much peace of
MUD by studying the art of judiciously
shutting our eyes. Let as refuse TO see
too much of other peoples errors and
mistakes. Nay. mote, let us refuse TO
see anything except what we wish to see.
The way is clear. the circumstances are
fortunate, people are we'll meaning and
industrious. happiness abounds. and we
ourselves are on the high o to lame
and fortune.
A fool's paradise, you saya Perhaps.
But doubt il a FOOLS paradise Is not
better than the heave OF people who
would carry thither microscopes that
might discover its possible imperfectlons.

MARI Ting FOREIGNERS.

The Mistake of Ambitious Women
Parents Often to Blame.
The subject of international marriages
is one about VIII lch a great deal might be
said on both sides. As the records OF
such cases go, however, there is but one
general opinion, and that is that alto
gether too much American beauty anu
brains and quite too many American dol
lars awe be en- ba rtered for lives OF
wretchedness and amply titles OF poverty
stricken foreigners.
The manner, habits aud usages OF these
men, and especially their laws aud Gus
toms as regards women. are so widely
different from ours that but one result is
possible, and che woman who allows her
mead to be turned by visions of a coronet
and the pomps and vanities OF courts
makes a fatal mistake, and one that the
sacrifice of herself ana her entire future
Is powerless 10 atone for.
Having outgrown the moderate circum
stances that made Republican simplicity
not only possible but necessary, the
palmer way of living has long since gone
into the past, and with increasing wealth.

theories of equality and liberty, are not

To be called Your Grace' or "My
Lady," is an alluring prospect to the
young American woman who may In her
days lave assisted her father to wash

worse for that oy any msansl Tn regret
Is that she did not. in that bright and In
dependent life, become so saturated with
the breath of freedom that courts and
customs would v no charms for her.
And the girl herself is not altogether
60 blame. The father and the mother,
aware oftentimes Of their own lack of
education aud advantage, feel it 1ncum-
bent upon them to place their daughter
at the very highest pinnacle of earthly
prosperity and glory; therefore the for
eign court, as the nearest known ap-
proach to felicity. is selected; aud on the
altar of foreign greed some OF the most
beautiful and Interesting OF Americas
