A CIPHER TELEGRAM.
The Neighborly Country Operator Thought
lt Was Uaoles0.

The Neiehborly Country Operator Thought
It Was Uaeless.
Another of the many good stories
told at the expense OF the 'cipher tel
egram" of the modern business world
came up the other day, said the New
York Tribune.
A city broker, whose house is in New
Jersey, was obliged by illness to lose a
day from his business, SO he sent word
to his clerk at the Office to let him
know by telegram something of the
days transactions.
The hours wore on, but no telegram
appeared, and the broker began to be
mystified, not to say provoked, at the
unaccountable negligence of his faith
full clerk. The telegraph Office was q
mile from his home, and there was
nothing to be done but to wait for the
messenger, who didn't come.
Next morning the unhappy subur-
banite stopped on his way to the sta
ton to make inquiries at the telegraph
Office. The operator was an old town
gossip, with an interest in everybody's
affairs, and greeted his visitor in .
neighborly fashion.
Good morning, sir; all well. I hope?"
Eyes; all right. say, didn't you get
. telegram for me yesterday"
Telegram for you? Let me see.
Why, yes, l believe l did. But ]
couldn't make nothing out of it, so /
didn't thipk twas worth while to send
it up."

Handsome Africans.

The 9angalas are a fine race physf-
cally, being tall, 1.-the, powerful, and
splendidly formed, with features by no
means of the negro type; the women
are the handsomest / have seen in
Africa. Their dress is scanty, consist
ing for the most part only OF waist
cloth for the men and short kilt OF
woven grass for the women; but men
of high degree often wear mantles OF
dressed goat or other skins. They
cicatrize their arms, shoulders, and
busts in patterns by cutting the skin
and injecting some irritant. Some
times the result looks very well but in
other cases the process is not success
full. and raises hugeunsightly Jumps OF
flesh.
The chief of Iboke, when I arrived,
was an old man over 80-his age was re-
ported by some to be "a, by others So
who had lost one eye in battle and pos
sesscd fifty wives. He was over six
feet in height, with q fine, well de-,
'velped figure, and, but for his dirty
white hair and shrivelled skin, would
have passed for man of half his age.
He was much attached to Capt. Coz
quilhat (named ''Mwafa" or the ''Ea-
gle" by the natives), and never under
took anything without consulting him.

Keeps His Queen . Prisoner.

Only one European sovereign will
celebrate this year his silver wedding,
namely, King Charles of Roumania,
who has attained his fifticth year. 1t
is doubtful whether there will be any
great national rejoicings in honor OF
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
marriage. for it can scarcely be said to
have been one of much happiness, and,
according to the New York Recorder.
it is questionable whether the queen
will be able to return to bucharest for
the event. Considerable mystery pre-
walls as to her real condition OF health,
as no one outside the immediate mem
bers of her family are allowed to see
her. and all that is known regarding
her are the stereotyped announcements
issued by her mother and by the mem
bers of the latter's household, stating
that she is improving. She is, how
ever, kept from public view-to all in
tents and purposes under restraint
and an impr ,ssion prevails that if she
is not mentally afflicted, she is at any
rate treated as being SO by her rela-

GUARDING AGAINST BURGLARS

recent improvements Made In the Con.
struction OF Vaults and Vault Doors.
The most vulnerable part of a vault
now is the edge of the door. 1t is al
most impossible to obtain an absolute
~ tight joint, one which will be i'm
pervious to liquid explosives. The old
method OF attack was by powder blown
into the crack of the vault door. As
the construction of these doors became
more perfect this was made impracti-
cable. Then, says the Washington
Star, the burglar turned his attention
to other explosives and to-day he uses
nitroglycerine. Nitroglycerine when
warm runs as freely as water. If the
crack of a door is not absolu tely tight
the nitroglycerine will find some small
lodging place in it. When exploded it
rips off the door, tears of its outer lay
ers or opens a space where larger
charge of explosive can be used. If the
joint is too well fitted to permit the
use of nitroglycerine and the vault is
in an isolated place where powerful
explosives can be used, dynamite
is laid against q weak spot and
we'll tamped. Its explosion either
makes an opening or weakens the
walls or door so that tools or
other explosives can be used to ad-
vantage. With q guarantee Of COM
parative freedom for operation set of
burglars can enter a modern vault in
one to eight hours. The shortest
process is usually by the use Of ex-
plosives, and it has been found that
the high explosives are singularly
local in effect and produce very little
sound. Hammer and sledge are often
used, though burglars prefer boring,
with the use of blow pipe to draw
the temper of the steel attacked. But
the modern construction renders this
sometimes extremely difficult because
of the high conductivity of iron and
the close contact of the cold steel
adjacent Burglars seldom attempt to
make holes of more than ON inch in
diameter, and the heat from the small
fame which can be introduced through
such hole is quickly dissipated.
Sometimes the burglar bores through
the soft metal and breaks the inter-
vening sheets of hard metal with the
blows of hammer, removing the
metal piecemeal. 1t is estimated that
an expert with finely tempered tools
will work through an inch of vault
wall in an hour. 1t sometimes hap
pens, though, that an expert burglar
abandons job after penetrating the
outer layer of steel because his poorly
tempered tools were all dulled in the
attempt

And if she were justified in her state
ment, says Harper's Bazar, what com.
plications and perplexities might en-
sue to the adherents of the arr! The
next thing in the advance of the mat
ter might be that no lover would pro-
pose to the damsel who had filed his
eye and touched his heart until he had
looked at her wrists and certified to
himself the absence of the bracelet of
command there, lest he should see be-
fore him the fate of Dame Partlet's
mate. Perhaps, too, the young lady's
father would find it necessary to COM
pare the right hand of her lover with
his left when he had stammcred his
wishes into the paternal ear and thus
discover what traits he had developed
in his right hand by scanning the
original lines in his left one, what gooo
tendencies had increased, If any. and
what evil ones had been suppressed in
his growth, and if, in short, he had de-
sirable traits and would make good

life of the proposed bride of her son

serious illnesses, or otherwise, in order
to Judge if it is best for her son to In

she may even look for the stars that
signify the number of marriages this
young woman is to contl act, that she
may thus forecast her sons chances of
long living.

CARRIED IN A GOLDEN HEARsE.
The Body OF . Japanese Buddhist Fol-

The Body OF . Japaneso Buddhist Fol.
lowed by 10000 Mourners-
Orano Kosho, head of the Otani sect
of Japanese Buddhists, died recently,
and his funeral was the occasion for q
wonderful outpouring OF mourners.
The late leader was in his seventy
sixth year and had since the age OF
eleven been a prominent member in
his sect. In the course of his life he
had rendered valuable services to the
imperial court, and these were recog-
aizcd in 1879 by the emperor, who con
ferred upon the prelate patent OF no
bility and a pension. The funeral Of
Orano Kosho was one of the memorable
events of Kyoto. Elaborate prepara-
tions had been made for the
ceremony, no expense being spared,
and ten thousand people com
posed the funeral cortege, which
was reviewed by one hundred and fifty
thousand moro. The members OF the
imperial family were present, with
n vast number of high officials The
funeral services began at $50 in the
great temple of Kyoto, and the pro-
cession to the crematory was formed
an hour and a half later, the entire
route being lined by swarms of people
desirous of paying the last tribute OF
respect to one who was universally
loved. The hearse was made of wicker
work covered with gold and the jour-
ney of two miles occupied over two
hours. The high priest came immedi-
ately behind the hearse, shaded from
the suns rays by an enormous crimson
umbrella borne by attendants. he was
followed by two thousand one hun
dred priests and three hundred AGO.
lytes, the lay mourners of the cortegc
coming next to the number of over
nine thousand. Several stands erected
along the route gave way and hundreds
of people were injured. The remains
of the dead prelate were placed in the
furnace about six o'clock in the even
ing and next afternoon the ashes were
taken from the receiver and placed in
an urn.

and having made a preliminary hit
with himself he enters upon the rendi-
