VERTICAL WRITING.
TeIsgrsphers Are Mainly Responsible for
Its Introduction Here.

Its Introduction Here
If the vertical handwriting which is
being taught in our public schools pre-
walls. and becomes the ordinary hand
writing. the people who enjoy its ad-
vantages will have in large measure the
tclegraphers to thank for it. They
have been the pioneers of vertical writ
ing. For the last twenty years almost
every telegraph operator in the country
has written round. vertical hand,
palmer than any other sort of hand
writing known, with round, fat loops
for the letters which drop below the
line, and simple capitals. This tclcg-
raphcr's handwriting has much in
common with the English civil service
handwriting, which may have preceded
it, but the civil service hand is less
often vertical and has certain points of
difference. Mems handwriting tends
in u general way to conform to the
fashion of Roman print prevalent at
any time, and as the most ordinary
print letter nowadays is of round or
Scottish face, it is not strange on the
whole that the tendency in handwriting
is toward a round letter. Women's
chirography is more capricious in its
fashion. though it has inclined pretty
steadily now for several years toward
angular criticism.

1t is said that the smallest piece of
painting in the world has recently been
executed by a Flemish artist. 1t is
painted on the smooth side OF a grain of
common white corn. and pictures a mill
and a miller mounting stairs with
sack of grain on his back The mill is
represented as standing on terrace,
and near it is horse and cart, while
group of several peasants are shown in
the road near by. The picture is beau
tifulIy distinct, every object being fin
ished with microscopic fidelity, yet by
careful measurement it is shown that
the whole painting does not cover
surface of half an inch square.

themselves. 1t is absolutely harmless and
the instantaneous relief which it affords to

dressed the Liverpool chamber of COM

remarks he said that he regarded it as in

be commenced in 1885, 100000 tons of
goods would pass through. This would
bring Japan, China and Australia nearer

fit of the canal to America would be in

ARMENIAN REFUGEES.
How They Were Finally Induced
to Desert Their Churches.

fused by the Dragon IN, of the Foreign
Hmba,Sips, who Promised Protection.
CONsTANTINOpLH, Oct 12.-It is now
stat,l upon good authority that the total
number OF killed wounded and missing
Armeniaus, up to date as II result Of the
recent rioting in this city is over 700.
The dracomans of the various embassies,
accompanied by the cavasscs, after rcceiv-
ing Instructions from the different en-
voys Of the powers to assist the Turkish
authorities in prevailing upon the Arme-
mans TO leave the churches in which they
sought refuge after the outbreak, at first
proceeded to the Armenian church of Con-
stnntinople. Taerc the Armenian bishop
and the dragomau oe the British embassy
cxhortcd the ArIucnilns to return to their
houses assuring thm they had nothing
| to fear from the Turks, and that the
| strongest assurances had been given to the
| representatives Of the powers by the Turk,
ish government that the lives and prop
eetT Of A"n2niaus would be projected.
After consultation ald delay the refugees
declared they would not leave the church
exc pit on the following conditions:
That amnesty be granted for political
oiicnscs; that they be permitted to retain
the arms in their possessions that the
prisons be opened for the inspection of
representatives Of the powers, and that
the innocent prisoners be released.
The dragomans refused to consider this
proposition.
In the meanwhile, however the Armcn-
ian women and children had come out Of
the church, but when they noticed that
the men had not followed them they re-
turned, weeping and crying out that they
would be killed if they returned to their
homes alone, and saying they preferred to
die in the church.
The drag0mans, in view Of the obstinacy
of the Armenians, had a conference with
the Armenian patriarch, after which, and
through the influence OF that prelate, the
evacuation Of the Kumkapou cathedral
commenced. As the refugees left the
cathedral the priests entered their names
on a special list, while the cavasses searched
them. When arms were found upon the
persons Of the Armenians they were taken
from them and deposited in the patriarch
ate. The evacuation of the other churcl .
followed, the police not interfering with
the work. In the Armenian church O
