of phonetic shorthand, buc illustrated
tlE,tfact that in England lonors are IL

For SiNtySeven years he has worked
ten to fourteen hours Il day, almost
without Il vacation. His phonetic
shorthand was not a pure invention.
but he undoubtedly did more to ex-
tend and populariZe the art and to
bring it into use than any other man.
Shorthand comes down to lis from the
Ancients. The first crude hieroglyphics

while Pcpys' Diary was written in a
system used in his day
In 1887 the system of Isaac pitman

by cheap publications.. which brought
schools of shorthand into existence and
made his system the standard. Dick

Electricity In Fruits.

An article appeared recently in a
French paper on. the generation of cleo.
tricity from various plants and fruits.
and now the English journal, Electric.
ity," publishes a letter from r. w. Hill,
a Manchester correspondent, who has
stated that 1t is Il mistake to think that
Frenchman discovered that electric
ity Is generated during the ripening of
fruits, for three years ago, he himself
placed two platinum wires ut the bot
tome and top Of nearly ripe melon
and obtained q current, and connect.
ing twelve melons in circuit to q bell,
he got enough electricity to ring bell.
Assuming that electricity is generated
through chemical reactions, Mr.. Hill
holds that in a very ripe fruit the cen.
ditlons favorable to current production
may be analogous to those existing in
well known batteries. In q melon
there are many organic acids, which
act on platinum wires, and thus a mod
flied natural battery, or rather an ele.
ment is formed. A long cucumber
also generated current, but 1t was
very weak, and could he detected only
by means Of sensitive galvanomcter.
Apples, pears, carrots and other fruits
and vegetables were tried. but the
melon was found to be the best gen.
orator. Mr.. Hill says that although
many will not be prepared to accept
his statement, If they will try the
melon experiment, placing the fruit on
a glass plate they will he convinced
OF the fact he vOuches for. He eyi.
IDENTITY has the courage of his opinions.
for he maintains that q battery of
10000 melons will produce electric cur
rent strong enough to drive an electric
motor Of two brake horse power.

SALT STICKS.

They Go Well With Dit of Cheese
ana Also With More beer.
A queer looking old man, carrying n
large basket In one hand and q cane III
the other hand, can be seen any day
plodding along the German section of
the East Side, where he has become a
well-known figure. He travels from
one. saloon to another, selling salt
sticks" which is his menas of liveli-
hood. For nearly twenty-five years he
has been conspicuous figure OH the
East Side, and from the profits derived
from selling these salt sticks" he has
been enabled to support large family.
He does II good business because Of
his genial nature. He always has a
kind word for everybody.
This industry, of making salt sticks"
is practiced by but few bakers, who
dispose of them to these merchants
cheap, and who in turn sell them for
&c piece, or three for &c. While the
salt sticks" or salZstange, as the Ger
mans call it, is unknown In the Amerl-
can cafe, 1t Is, and has been for num-
Der Of years, quite the thing with the
German saloons. There was ut one
time quite a number of these "salt
stick" merchants, but of late they have
dwlndled down to few, among them
being the old man who was one Of the
first In the field. The salt stick" is 4
long piece Of baked dough bcsprlnklcd
with salt, which, while 1t makes it
very tasty, also makes them very
thirsty, thus bcnefiting the saloon.keep-
er. whose customers are compelled to
satisfy their thirst with more beer.
But this does not serve TO lessen the
popularity of the ''salt sticks" Ger
man pinochlc players while playing
their game and drinking their beer,
eat them with IL relish. No game of
cards is complete without them.
They form very tasty morscl when
caten with Il piece of cheese. For this
purpose they are cut in half and the
cheese placed between them. They
are called "salt stick sandwiches" and
they are great appetizer for beer.

Not long ago young lady was lying
half awake in bed in house OH

wholly awake with the consciousness
that Il mouse was running over her
bosom. She had the presence of mind
not to move, reasoning that the mouse
would presently run away without
harming her. But, instead. the little
creature crept onto her neck, and there
nestled comfortably down, his back
curlel against the lower part of her
cheek, which lay on the pillow. The
lady's blood was simply frozen with

The British Consul at Jerusalem In
bis latest report gives some interesting
details respecting the present condition
Of the Holy City. It appears that
buildings Of various kinds continue to
be erected In the vicinity and that the
city is far outgrowing its former linn
its. On the western side houses hive
Increased 30 rapidly within the Inst
few years that quite a suburb llas
arisen where formerly there were fields
and vineyards.
Every available piece Of land is
now being bought up by private per.
sons or by benevolent societies and
missions, and already the name Of
Modern Jerusalem" has been given
to this new quarter. Last year tho
first public garden was completed out
side the Jaffa Gate, and the trade ia
generally increasing, especially that In
Jaffa oranges, olive wood work NOW
IN important local industry and olive
oil. The export of colocynth declined
in consequence Of 1.-the levied on it
by the authorities. 1t is gathered by
the Arabs in the neighborh00d Of GAIA,
where 1t grows wild.
An interesting enterprise which has
recently been commenced Is the cOllec-
ton of the bitumen which rises to the
surface and floats about on the Dead
Sea. Two sailing boats were taken by
train from Jaffa to Jerusalem, and then
conveyed by carts to the Jordan, where
they were flOated down the river to the
Dead Sea, and they are now engaged
In picking up the bitumcn, which fs

placed ON the Dead Sea to ferry across

About Listing Corn.

While not being farmer Mt present
I take great interest in farming,
as my friends, with few exceptions,
are farmers. We have wondered why
some of your readers do not say some
thing Of the lister this spring, when SO
much small grain has been damaged
over the country, so that it has been
plowed up for corn and the season get
ting late. I think great deal of lis
ting myself, when with three good
horses Il man can list eight acres
Il day. Then take q planker (madc CT
about three planks fastened togethcr)
and plank it down by putting on
weights. which will crowd the dirt
from the ridges into the furrow and
still not cover the corn. After the corn
gets a little start, harrow it. the horses
having good places to walk Oh the
plankcd ridges and the harrow will
then drag the fine dirt over the corn
and cover up small weeds; and. by
pIanking again, or narrowing, the fur.
rows will be nearly filled.
The lister has several advantage !
think, over the planter in this country.
where we have dry spells. First it can
be planted just deep enough to he COW
cred up nicely, and so near to the s.,r-
face Of the bottom of the fllrrow that
the sun will soon warm up the ground,
causing 1t to grow fast. Where we are
troubled with cut worms 1t throws
them out Of the burrows to be picked
up by the birds that generally follow a
plow. Thus it gets all the benefit of
light showers in the furrow. When
the burrows are filled up 1t Is down
where it does not dry out like surface
planted corn. If put in little too
deep, 1t may be somewhat backward
in tho forepart of the season. yet it
seems to catch UP wonderfully .just
when it needs to he strong and vigor-
Gus. I have seen strong winds blow
surface-plantcd coin down, but 1t did
not seem to affect listed corn. If well
taken care Of it seems to come out the
cleanest from weeds In the fall. I
would like to hear from others of their
experiences; that Is what makes pa
per interesting to mc.-John Muir In
