Mystifled by an Abbreyiation.

Among the stories told about the ex-
periences of police telegraph operators
by the attaches of the electrical bureau
is one which relates to an ex-special
officer, who is now a regular operator
at substation up town. While acting
as ''sub''sin West Philadelphia dis
trict he received call from the cen
trail, which he promptly wrote on his
slate as he received it. At the close Of
the message he found that it read:
"Send wagon to Phil. Ahosp. and learn
condition of Hen. Coop" He was COM
pletely stalled. He, could not imagine
who Phil. Ahosp was, nor where he, was
to be found, nor what particular hem
coop the central was interested in. He
felt that there was a mistake some
where, but was satisfied that it must be
at the other end Of the WIRE AS the
hour was near relieving time, he decid-
ed to wait and consult his relief before
sending the wagon on a wild, goose
chase Or asking the central to repeat
On the arrival of his relief he was in
formed that the operator who had sent
the message generally abbreviated his
messages, and probably the one received
would read: ''Send wagon to Philadel-
phia hospital and learn condition of
Henry Cooper. :" This proved to be the
proper solution. Philadel phia Record.

LOSS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Strange Story of the Scuttling of Great
Steamship by Pirates. asy---<:a.. =

Strange Story of the Scuttling of q Great
Steamship by Pirates. @< s +:
What strange story is that COM.
municated by the Duke of Newcastle to
The Globe concerning the loss of the
President! He says that a trustworthy
informant in the United States assured
him that sailor, dying in an American
port, had confessed to having formed
one OF the crew of a pirate vessel which
captured the great steamship. Every
soul ON board was made to walk the
plank, and the ship was scuttled.''
The story seems incredible, yet it may
be true, and the possibility of it gives
one quite shock. 1t is so years ago
and more since the President disappear
ed from human sight, without, I be-
lieve, leaving trace. The loss of no
other vessel-for it was the first Of the
or eat passenger ships to go-has caused
so great an excitement. How those at
home chung to hope, some of them for
years-for the notion of the crew being
wrecked on some out Of the way island
was eagerly adopted-and how many a
heart was broken by the intolerable
suspense! At last it was generally con-
oluded that the ship had colided with
an iceberg and fo1ndered. And now
comes this terrible story, which, it is
fortunate, was not conceived Of when
it would have had the power to make
those at home more miserable.
It is not to be forgotten, however,
that more than one story has been re-
Gently written upon this subject-the
capture and scuttling of passenger
steamer it seems more likely
that they have suggested the idea being
adapted to the loss of the President than
that a solitary pirate should have re-
vealed such a long kept secret Of the
seas.-London News.

ONE WAY TO LIVE CHEAPLY.

A Scheme That Was Developed by Gall
~ liant Colonel Wilk.
Joseph Tanski, the Polish refugee,
narrates many stories of the shifts to
which he and his fellow exiles were
compelled to resort in order to keep
soul and body together. None of these
is more curious and interesting than one
relating to his friend, Colonel Wilk,
who had been decorated by the emperor
of the French for gallant service in the
French army, but who afterward found
himself obliged to live upon 60 francs
month. s. & = &C. I. a
1t was pretty tight work, and so Colo
mel Wilk had to confess, but one day be
met with a strange bit Of good fortune.
He had been out for a walk and was
on his way home when big Newfound-
land dog came running down the street,
pursued by gang of boys and men, all
armed with sticks. The dog, painting
and terrified, ran straight toward Colo
mel Wi1k and took refuge between his
feet. The crowd drew near with loud
and excited shouts. 49,.
cit is mad dogl Kill him''
A policeman, more courageous than
the mob, stepped forward
"HaltP' shouted the knight Of the
Legion of Honor. 'sThe dog belongs to
me. 1t is not mad
His resolute air and perhaps the red
ribbon in his buttonhole made an i'm
preston upon the policeman.
Every well,'' he said, since the dog
is yours, lead him away"
So said, so DONE Colonel Wilk took
the dog home, washed and combed it,
and then went with it to the butcher S
to buy it some scraps Of meat. For 25
confines the Butcher gave him a fine
lot, and on his way home Wilk bought
few vegetables.
All these bits-bits Of meat, bones
and vegetables put into a pot to-
gether with suitable quantity of wa
ter, and out Of the pot both he and the
dog made sumptuous dinner.
The problem of living was solved.
Day after day, as often as his purse ran
low. which was pretty often, he bought
bits of meat 'for his dog Nobody
was the wiser, and the Polish exile and
his dog lived upon IS confines day,
and the knight of the Legion of Honor
could once more receive his friends like
man of the world.

An instance, of the great dissolving
powers Of sulphuric acid is furnished by
an accident which recently occurred in
the chemical factories at Mulhouse,

acid, the temperature OF which was
found to be 81 degrees G. ten hours aft

was only proved by the discovery of his

Poor woodcock-Poor Soul,


Some years ago a woodcock, tired and
weary with his long journey, fell ex-
hausted down from midair right into
the middle Of Lond on. Nearly all birds
migrate at night, so it was dark, as,
half stunned, he found himself lying in
Albemarle street. a woodcoek s first inn
pulse is always to hide himself, to steal
under something, to crouch down. In
nature wild he would choose some
bracken or some low shrub. Holly he
particularly loves, and there he would
nestle down and doze the hours away,
but here, poor bird, in rural Piccadilly,
he could find none Of these, and so he
finally nestled up to a lamppost, and,
stunned and stupefed, he fell asleep
and was SO found by the early milkman
on the next day Critic. .

Hard Wood,

According to a recent legal decision
reported in The Timberman, hard wood
is "any tree that has a leaf as distin-
guished from a needle. !" A man con-
tracted to deliver to railroad hard wood
cordwood, and he delivered poplar in
part fulfillment Of the contract. The
railroad rejected this as not hard wood
and sued, but the contractor won the
case on the decision Of the court, as re-
ported above. Women will now have a
distinct and lawful standard to gauge
their hard wood furniture descriptions

THE WHisTLlNG WIND.

Whenever ]. hear the swhistling wind.
Whenever see the drifting snow,
What anxious thought disturbs my mind.
So poor the sweetest lass Z know
How can she hide the bitter storm?
The winter, cold and bleak, endured
She tells me that her wrap is warm
For she is proud as she is poor.
/ think Of her whene'er ] see
Another robed in richest furs.
There's not another face to me
So fair, SO good and kind as hers,
s And when | sit beside my fire
i wish her there, for her dear sake,
J. And, troubled with its vain desire,
It seems as if my heart would break.
God teach her tbs the high and low,
'Tis not the rich and poor, mate i'll,
That she may not refuse me-, SO
That ] may have my perfect will.
God bless her, keep her evermorel
And patient let me hope to see

She fancies 'twixt herself and me.

Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde is a walking epigram
factory. When an idea comes into his
head that seems available as disguise
for truth he writes it down at once. It
doesn't matter whether he is at a stately
dinner party or in conversation at a
club. His pad and pencil are always
with him and the pockets Of his clothes
are never free from slips Of paper con-
