Reading kilograms by Sound.

The late Charles l.. Chaplin was prob
ably the first man to read telegraphic
messages by sound. When he was in
charge of Cornell's line from New York
to Erie the lettered dial was universally
used, but he taught himself to read
the messages by sound. The operators
under him had been in the habit of
sending private messages over the wire,
and it was impossible to stop them.
Finally an operator tried to get excused
for days fishing. He telegraphed to
the operator in Mr.. Chapin's office,
asking to get Mr.. Chaplin to let him off.
Mr.. Chaplin was sitting with his back
10 the instrument when the message
came in, and. without turning around,
he said to the operator: Tell him mol"
The man was so surprised that he AL
most fell off his chair. Eventually Mr..
Chaplin divulgcd his secret, and now
reading by sound is universal.

A DIFFERENCE.
In Your Two Hands, Your Two Feet, and
Evsn Your Two Ears.


OF all the twin organs of the body,
the ears are probably more alike than
any other. Still, there is difference.
And SO it is with other parts of the
body, says the Cincinnati Examiner.
One eye, for example, is generally
more open than the other, and often
there is q shade of difference in color
between them. Oculists say, too, that
it is rare-almost unique-to find two
eyes in the same head that have exact
ly the same powers of vision. This
arises from using one more than the
other; and, like the hand, it is generally
the right eye that is most frequently
called into use, and is the stronger.
Few people not tailors have ever no.
ticed that the right shoulder is general
ly lower than the left. They say that
this arises from the almost universal
habit men have of resting the left elbow
on the desk while writing, and also
to the equally prevalent custom of
those who carry heavy burdens resting
them on the right shoulder.
In arms and legs there is generally
but q slight difference as regards
length; but in size and strength the
right arm and the left leg, being often
est used, are the more fully developed
muscularly. 1t is the right hand and
the left foot also which exceed their
companions in size.

Senator Nudge, of this district, has
started out TO make Il record. He has
noticed bill 10 clean out the Maple
river, appropriating swamp lands to pay
for the work More swamp lands have
already been appropriated than the state
years ago which called for swamp land
appropriation because there were no par
ticular lands designated, and none to
designate The Senator also has noticed
a bill 10 repeal the anti-fusion law. The
people repealed fusion pretty effectively
in the state and nation last fail and will
undoubtedly repeat the dose when the
patient requires it. The object of the
existing Law, however, is Il good one. 1t
says to political mountebanks who get
up side issue party, IF your principles
are sufficiently meritorious to appeal to
voters and win success, well and good,
but You must not try to cheat your fol-
lowers by putting on the same ticket
the names that are on another political
ticket under different heading" 1t
stands for political honesty, and works
no injustice 10 any man. If the old line

pOpulists want 10 nominate n union

not interfere 1t does prevent, however.

prohibition, ana on another headed dem
ocratic, and on another headed people, S,
as fraud upon the voters of the various
parties who are appealed to as prohibi-
tionists, democrats or populists, but who
are in reality voting for the same set of
men The law is in the way however,
of various leaders who have no princi-
pies higher than their desire for office.
it is not to be wondered at that the SEN
ator wants TO deepen the channel of the
Maple river after his steamboat expert
ence, but the fact that he was elected
with the fusion law in force ought TO
satisfy him that accidents will happen
occasionally, even if the law is not re-
pealed.-St. Johns Republican.

Fate OF An African fotentAte VINO Wes
Crushed by q British Expedition.
One of the innumerable little wars
that England carries on with savages
has just taken place on the river Niger
in West Africa. 1t concluded with the
eating Of human head by the native
allies of the British, says the New York
Journal.
A chief named Katshella had built
himself a stronghold on a tributary of
the Niger, from which he made raids
into the territory of the neighboring
king, who was under British protection.
Katshella was of immense size and
fearful appearance. He lived life of
utter depravity.
A British expedition Of $50 men was
sent after him, and smashed his strong
hold. Lieut.. Testing, who command
ed the expedition, writes:
"The robber prince, Katshella, an i'm
mense man, was killed jus. outside
the town, and then the brutal instinct
of the niggers came out. They cut OIL

PUTS UP HIS UMBRELLA.
How q Thrifty Stranger Secures a Good
Lunch In Chicago.

He was a man of uncertain age, "a
they say of ladies of unknown birth
dates. He was well dressed and car
ried a handsome silk umbrella under
his arm when he entered the lunch
room the other night. He walked up TO
the proprietor, to whom he was a
stranger, and engaged him in converse
ton. He was a man of good appearance
and apparently of rather good educa-
ton. His words were we'll chosen and
he displayed considerable powers of
observation. After a time he announced
that he was hungry and had no money,
says the Chicago Post.
Can put up this umbrella for a
lunch?" he asked II will be down
again tomorrow"
We'll" said the proprietor, slowly,
examining the umbrella, sits against
our rules, but guess So"
So saying he turned to waiter and
directed him to serve the customer,
who still retained the umbrella and
placed it by his side. The stranger
made good meal, thanked the waiter
for the attendance and rose from his
seat. He quietly spread the umbrella
and calmly walked out.
Here" said the proprietor, rushing
for him. 81 thought you were to put
up that umbrella for your lunch?"
"Well, it's up, amt it?" was the quiet
rejoinder. as the man rapidly moved
on. The proprietor scratched his head,
unused bit and then agreed that the
trick was worth the lunch.
That is how the stranger fed well
without having the price.

A TALE OF HORRORS.
Two Men, Lost on the Desert, Make
Dreadful Discovery.

Dreadful Discovery.
1t was the desert of Sahara, says the
New York Journal.
All day long the torrd sun had
flashed down his binding rays upon the
yellow sands till they seemed TO CLEAN
with the terrible heat. AS far as the
eye could reach there was no sign OF
vegetation, nothing but sand, sand.
sand, till the vision grew weary. In
the sky, like specks of blackness. vul-
lures hung suspended, circling around
and around while they scanned the
plain for some new victim Of the heat,
for another man or animal whose de-
eaying flesh might satisfy their loath-
some appetites. Ever and anon, too,
as one proceeded. could be seen the
bones Of those who had gone before
bleached white by the awful heat.
And in the midst of the stiffness. the
desolation and the heat, two wayfarers
were wandering on. Their hands were
empty, for their provisions were long
exhausted and they had long since
thrown aside their guns as useless in
cumbrances.
On and on they trudged. maddened
by their terrible hunger and thirst,
when suddenly they perceived mass OF
rock which rose directly in their path.
There was natural opening. Through
IT they rushed.
"Water!"
A horrible cry of loathing and disap-
pointment-a cry with no trace Of
hope or care for the future-rang
through the rocky garden.
Then the two tramps fed.

ABOUT ENCORES.
Sims Reeves Hard on the "vicious Sys-

tenn" as He Calls 1t.
Sims Reeves is hard on what he
calls the vicious encore system" He
characterizes it as preposterous piece
Of dishonesty, of which all honest per-
sons should be ashamed, says the Gen.
teman's Magazine. The nuisance. he
says rightly, seeks to take a shabby adj
vantage of the suffering professional
and it is to be regretted that few of our
performers possess sufficient courage
to return to the platform, bow, politely
and indicate firmly no. Your enchor-
monger cares nothing about symmetry
or balance of cohesiveness, whether the
occasion be the lyric stage. the oratorio
performance, the benefit and ordin-
airy concert or the ballad concert.
He wants to hear more than he has
bargained for, and if his demand is not
yielded to he will boot and bray ana
hiss when an attempt is made to per-
form the next piece, as II he belonged
to the long-eared quadrupeds or feath-
ered-biped tribe. And then we have
occasionally what the newspapers term
"ascene"-an exhibition Of 'Arryism"
that disgraces our boosted civilization.
II managers, artists and the musical
public would but think this matter over
and determine to stamp out the nui-
sance, one great blot on our English
musical performances might be ef-
faced. Unfortunately it is not yet
quite certain whether encores are more
distasteful to the great majority Of
performers than they are to large Sec
tion of the concert-going public.
