Sending Ocean Telegraph Messages.

There is popular impression that
ocean telegraph messages are sent by
hand, as are land kilograms, and that
signals that flash upon screen. Such
used to be the method of their trans
mission, but that has now been super
seeded by better one. 1t was found i'm
practicable to transmit printed charac-
tiers. The four vertical or nearly verti-
cal lines that make our M could not be
sent, but two horizontal lines, thus
-, could be; and, after all, the marks
that are set down for this and that
sound of the lips and vocal organs are
wholly arbitrary. Two horizontal lines
are just as appropriate for the sound
represented by the thirteenth letter of
The alphabet as four nearly perpendicu-
lar ones, and they answer the purpose
just as we'll when all know what is in
tended. In devising practicable signs
for the letters two systems were made.
One of these systems is 10 use through
out all America and Canada, and the
other system throughout the remainder
of the world. The United States and
Canadian lines therefore stand apart
from all other lines in the world in the
matter of telegraph alphabet. The
difference between these alphabets is
solely in the employment of the space
between parts of one and the same
letter. For example, the letter Y is 49,.
There are four points or dots, but they
are separated by space. That is the
American Y. 1t was rejected by the
Europeans on the ground that it would
be liable to confusion with parts of pre-
ceding or following letters, and. -
put in its place. AS matter of prac-
tice, however, no more mistakes occur
with one system than with the other,
while the American has the vast ad-
vantage of being about twenty per cent
shorter, and therefore to that extent
faster. Other letters in which the sys-
TENS differ are F, j, L, o, P, Q, r, <,
and z. All remaining letters are alike
in both. Harper'S Young People.

OH! FOR STRONG NERVES.
WHAT DOES THAT DREADFUL
FEELING MEAN?
Can 1t he that Insanity Is Staring Me In
the Face? That Tired and Exhausted
Feeling Means More than You Think.

The nervous system is fearfully delicate
1t is easily deranged, and when it is, be-
ware. The symptoms are debility, tired
feeling, inability for much work, trembling
anxiety, depression of mind, nervousness,
and often sleeplessness and dull feeling
head in the morning.
These lead to nervous prostration, paraly-
sis or insanity. You run a terrible risk in
neglectipg any Of these symptoms. You can
be cured now. II you neglect YOURSELF you
will soon become hopeless wreck, as Mrs.
w. A. Tinkham of Stowe. Vt, did. She
writes the following about herself;
about six months ago found myself in
an extremely nervous condition. This had
been gradually growing upon me for several
years, and cannot tell what l suffered it
was beyond description. / got no rest or
sleep nights, and my work was done in con-
slant agony.
81 imagined there was some impending
evil constantly hanging over me and could
not rid myself of the idea that insanity was
in store for me. l knew better than to do
lots of things that did do, but could not
help It,
az was indeed a wreck and was on the
point of giving up in despair. I employed
physicians, who did me no good, and my
condition continually grew worse.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS,
Nonsense Verses.

II you will kindly help me, please,
shall be very glad;
For don't go to school. you know,
I'm such little lad.
There's several things can't explain.
That's why ask OF you
To tell me what you learn from books,
What makes the sky so blue9
why don't green peas in peanut shells
out in our garden grow7
And why should peoples have that name
If"popl" they cannot go?
Why do not chestnut horses come
From off tn horse chestnut tree2
And why are table leaves 40 big
While tree leaves are 80 wee2
Why is 1t that white mans told
So often that he's green2
Why is't that boys should never talk,
But only just be SEEM
Why aren't dumb walters sometimes dumb,
As they had ought to be2
They're horrid, noisy, squeaky things,
It's always seemed to me.
And why should little pitchers have
Their ears so very great,
When all I've seen have but a mouth?
What is the earth's true weight
What makes the clouds stay in the sky
Instead of falling DOWN.
Are matches used to light the stars2
Why don't the fishes drown9
If you'll Just answer these for me,
You will be very kind,
And when you've done there are lots more
A-preying on my mind.

Savannah Gstting a Larger Proper
ton Than Florida Is Getting.
The recent cold wave has given an i'm
petus to the tourist travel from the north
and west. Up to within the last few
weeks, the hotels in Florida had few
guests, while the De Soto has accommo-
dated an average of 25O people daily since
the season opened. Every year the at
tractiveness Of Savannah is more appre-
ciated by tourists, and this is clearly
shown in the fact that the De Soto is al
ready doing 20 per cent. more business
than this time last win err
The popularity of Savannah as a winter
resort is growing, and several northern
families, who for years have made Florida
their objective point, are now at the De
Soto. where their apartments are en-
gagged until May l.
1t is not generally known that the
hotels in Savannah have, up to the last
cold snap, done more business than the
celebrated hotels in Jacksonville and ST
Augustine. The class Of travel that
starts in Lent will be at its hight in a few
days, aud by the middle of March the
hotels here will be filed with the return
travel that begins about that time
The streets in Savannah are now filled
with tourists who linger here and are not
anxious to leave The drives around Sa-
vannah are greatly enjoyed by the people
who have seen nothing but snow for
months.
The three special excursions over the
Pennsylvania railroad will be largely
patrUniZed and as usual a number of|the
tourists will stop here.
Although the discrimination in favor Of
the railroad rates 10 Florida still exists
the savannah hotels are receiving more
guests than ever.

branch from Meldrim TO LyoRs, has ten
dered his resignation as such.
Formerly the mainstem, together with
The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
railroad, constituted only one division
under Supt. McNeely. Some months ago
II was considered advisable, this being a
large division for one man to handle, and
II was separated into two. Supt w. A.
Moore, with headquarters at Griffin, was
put in charge of the northern division,
comprising the line from Macon to At
lanta, the Savannah, Grimm and
North Alabama, from Griffin to Car
rollton, and the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus from Carrollton TO Chattanooga
Supt. McNeely was put in charge of the
rest of the maiuslem, the Augusta and
savannah and the Eden extension.
A Few days ago the circuit court at At
lanta appointed new receiver for the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail
road and that going under u new manage
meRt left Supt Moore with very little on
mis- hands. IL was decided then to make
one division Of the maInstem from Savan-
nah TO Atlanta, the Augusta and Sayan-

der one superintendent Consequent iy
