A TItular Observation,

The new edition of Debrett's Peeyage shows
that there are 1900 persons IN England who
enjoy titles. These do not include mister,
enjoyed by some of the ablest and best men
of the realm.-CumberlandN eus.
And really the highest of all secular
titles.

The New Nobility,

The JOURNAL understands that w.

man of the Independent Order of Dis
united Chivi.ery of the North American
Nobility of Laborious Knighthood, is
rapidly heading this way. He was in
Pittsburg the other day long enough to
state
that originally the Knights of Labor
had membership of 5000, and that fully
two-thirds of these have joined the new or
ganization. The only districts of any conse-
quence remaining true to the old order are
located in st. Louis New York and Brooklyn.
The first general assembly ofth new knights
of Labor will be held in Washington, d. c.,
IN January, 1896.
This indicates that the Georges
Creek contingent has seeded and is
counted one among the rebels. Which
is a speck of information we
long have sought
And mourned because we found it not

Creek region will generate more steam than
the same amount from any other region in
the country. The reason is: 1t contains
enough bitumen to make it readily in
tammable and does not deaden with eac h
fresh addition, thus lessening the amount OF
steam until the combustion of the fuel takes
place, 1t has enough carbon to maintain a
uniform heat for long time, and is COM
parativelv free from sulphur. For smithing
purposes it is invaluable and finds a market
all over the world 1t makes bright fire
and gives out steady heat.
In its sketches of towns, however,
the Journal is singularly unfortunate
in at least two notable instances.
Homecoming is represented as "the
county-seat of Alegany county," with
"a population of 4,500;" it is ''at the
top of the mountain where the coal
is said TO he OF superior quality" and,
further north, at lower elevations,
are the mining towus of Ocean Qower
and upper Borden, Frostburg and Mt.
Savage, in the order named" If the
author of that sketch could have found
IL blow hole in the law of gravitation of
sufficient dimensions to authorize him
to make Georges creek run uphill, its
abSurdity would have been complete.
On the other hand. while the very
good picture of Frostburg is entitled
''the center of the Georges Creek coal
region" the text locates 1t sat the
eastern base of the Great Savage
mountain and allows it 1000 less
population than Homecoming.
1t is a pity that paper, otherwise
good. should have been married by
inaccuracies so gross.

Too Much Machinery.

"Do you know the curse of modern
journalism?" asked an old journalist
the other day.
''It's the typewriter. It destroys orig
inality. Tt gives to everything that is
written a mechanical touch. There s
no style or individuality about anything
composed on typewriter.
"You will find that the newspaper
writers in all the larger Offices use type
writers. The use of them has extended
in many other directions. Mgr. Satolli
has one. But wherever you find man
writing on one and composing as he
writes you will find that his work is
cramped, mechanical, unimaginative,
without the slightest touch of fancy or
vitality.
"Go into the Offices of the big dailies
and you will find the young men who
make the papers seated at typewriter,
grinding out columns Of colorless, un-
readable stuff for the paper. You can't
turn out thought by machinery, and the
young men who write their matter for
the press on typewriters never rise above
the level Of mediocrity. Go into the
composing rooms of the big dailies, too,
and you will find the printers setting
type by machinery. No style about that.
It's straight, stiff, formal, unattractive,
without any individuality. 1t takes the
human touch to give the proper life and
color to anything. There's too much
machinery. ATLANTA Constitution.

The Bank of Scotland.

The Bank of Scotland, now 200 years
old, naturally sought to encourage Scot
tish industries, and this is shown in the
manufacture of its paper for notes. The
first large notes were made in 1896, 90
shilling notes, as they were termed, be-
ing only issued on April z, 1904. In
1929 the banks paper was manufac-
tured at Giffordhall, near Haddington.
Attendants mad to be present in the
banks interest, and their account was
paid by the bank. One item was "ale
and bread furnished to the workmen,
los. and another for "drink money to
servants, "a lis. Cd The items are
suggestive, although it is possible they
only represented drink money in name
In 1885 the bank got it's 20 shilling
banknotes made at Collingtoun Min
(Colinton mill), and there is an "ac-
compt for drink money" in connection
with it. A barber came twice from
Edinburgh to shave the officials and re-
ceived IS. for his professional attend
ance. Green tea must have cost at
this time 24s. per pound, for in the bill
a quarter pound sells for 6s. At this
Colinton mill the bank appears to have
kept all the employees in food during
the time the paper was being manufac-
tured. A man was engaged IL days at
the paper mill in dressing meat, and he
cut up in that time 200 pounds of it.
Meat and mutton cost only 21ad. per
pound in those good old days. A hen is
charged at 3d., duck at 3D., one "sol-
Ian goose" Is. 3D.. dozen eggs, Sd.
six chickens, only Is. I'D, and wild
fowl, 10d. ; cheese cost i'd. per pound
and bacon Sd. per pound. In 1869 the

REDHOT HAYMAkING.

One Amateurs Experience Was Complete
and Satisfactory In One Day.
The hottest experience l ever met
with in the country was the day help
ed to make hay. The farmer began to
call us shortly after midnight, and after
long siege of intermittent yelling he
succeeded in his design of getting US out
of bed several hours before it was neces-
sary. 1t was then 8 a. m. About two
hours later we had had our breakfasts
and were entering the bayfield,.
When one gets into trouble, the open
ing scenes are always alluring. A gor-
geous sunrise was in full swing in the
east. The dew lay on the grass, and the
air was cool and invigorating. I could
not but agree with the poets that the
scent of the new mown hay was very
inspiring. felt like colt and was keen
to jump into the sport.
The first heat consisted in punching
the hay after the rake, which the farmer
himself drove about the field with many
loud "gees'' and "haws,' but few
"whoas. The old rascal took fiend-
ish delight in crowding u.s. 1t began to
look little ike Work.
When the hay was all punched, the
high ladder wagons were driven into the
field. Being a novice, was assigned the
duty of loading I stood upon the wagon
and built the load as the hay was pitch
ed to me theoretically, but on me actual
ly. The first dose knocked all the poetry
out of me.
The blazing sun had sucked up all the
dewdrops and was now high in the
east. He seemed to focus his scorching
rays on the wagons, and the hay cracked
and sizzled about me like frying fat. 1t
was noon 20 times all at once. I thought
was becoming iquified. I sank to my
neck in the hay and roasted i'll con-
centrated oven of absorbed solar heat.
Not breeze stirred. No friendly cloud
lowered near to screen the orb of fire. I
vainly tried to fancy was in the Arctic
ocean and the wagon was a floating ice
berg. The old pitchers, Injured to the
heat and the avocation, still fed on the
hay.
We were jerked into the barn-from
the frying pan into the fire-and was
there barbecued for half an hour in the
hot beds of the NOW.
Out we shot again into the broiling
field. All day long this process of slow
torture continued. 1t was little drama
from the snowless land inserted into
real life, the farmer impersonating sa-
tan, the pitchers his archangels and my
self Charon's lost passenger.
But, thank heaven, the farmer was
no Joshua, and the sun at last complet-
ed his trip across the skies and disap-
peared beneath the mountain. The next
day my place on the wagon was occu-
pied by some other fooI-Philadelph

Geodes.

Did you ever see a geode, the ugly,
creamy, yellow, rounded rock, which,
upon being broken open, presents per-
feet wilderness Of diamondlike crystals!
They are oddities of the oldest kind,
and are not too plentiful anywhere. The
word "geode" means "earthform" and
is applied to all hollow stones which
are filled with crystallized matter.
When broken open, some are found to be
full of pure looking, clear water. 9th
ers appear to be full of yellow or brown
paint, while third class are filled with
what appears to be very fair quality
Of tar. No odds what the filling of the
cavity may be composed of, the sides are
always studded with crystals. Should
the filling be yellow the crystals are
likely to be of the same color, but by far
the greater portion of them are as clear
as ice or diamonds Louis Republic.

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.

An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.
The printing telegraph, though de-
vice of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ceaseless
investigation, and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole at
tention in some instances to the trans
mission of messages and the recording
of them in plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those of an
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed in the presence
of the transmitting operator in page
form, and a duplicate of the same print
ed at all the receiving stations on the
line, whether it be long or short cir
cult. A single transmission prints it
simultaneously in page form ready for
the compositor's case in all the news
paper offices of many cities.
It is said to differ materially from all
other known means of telegraphy in one
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the instruments, whereas in other
systems the instruments move the i'm
pulse-that is to say, the transmitter of
the message is caused to run by sepa-
rate power. No combination of cleo
trical impulse or currents is employed.
An even succession of dots or impulses,
which operate the polarized relay arma-
ture at the receiving station, places the
revolving type wheel in the required
position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed.
The apparent impossibility of trans
mitting printed characters 500 or 1000
miles over a single wire at once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome in
this system, it is asserted, in very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by certain number of
impulses, which revolve the type wheel
to the required position, when the let
ters are struck by the local mallet.
Fourteen impulses represent the en-
tire alphabet, making complete revolu-
tion of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. Its advan-
tage also is that of absolute secrecy as
means of communication. The advan-
tage Of the printing telegraph for the
transmission of news to the newspaper
offices is unquestionably subject COM
manding attention on the part of pro-
gressive proprietors. and Press.

The rrottine Horse.

There is much logic in what the New
York Sun says about shorter trotting
races. 1t is not an uncommon thing now
for horse attached to sulky to go a
half under two minute gait and a
quarter at speed rivaling Salvador s in
his palmy days. When five or six and
sometimes seven and eight heats are
trotted very nearly at this pace, the
strain on a horse must be tremendous.
Eventually he must break down under
it. 1t seems likely that in the near fu-
ture the trotting race Will, as The Sun
says, be shorter. This year in Buffalo,
however, the old plan will be in opera
ton, except i'll special contests, and no
doubt the great majority of horse lovers
will be glad that it is.-Buffalo Times

A DREAM.

Oh, it was but dream had
While the musician played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade.
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze,
AS o'er a field of marigolds
Our eyes swan DER the seas,
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underwood
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June,
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About his diadum.
The seagull reeled ON languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at US from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
