Tally CARDS.
Made In q Great Variety or styles ana Moro
Used Than Ever.

Tally cards, such o. are used at card par
ties and for keeping tally in all progressive
games, have long been used, but they are usoI
now more extensively than ever. Where D D
were sold a few years ago 10000 are sold now.
There aro moro than $50 styles OF tally cards,
which are sold OF prices ranging from 10 cents
to " a dozen. At 10 cents a dozen one gets
simple cards with a colored string attached;
at Is cents q dozen, cards ragged edged. and
with q cord and tassel and pencil. For 20
cents a dozen can be bought cards hand en-.
oossed. There arc moro tally CARDS Bolu ot
prices ranging from 20 cents TO 90 cents a
dozen than there are Of tho cheaper varieli9s-
The average. of tho higher priced cards would be
about vi a dozen. Cards costing more man "
q dozen are made to order, usually hand paint
go, and decorated In q manner IN keeping Win
the occasion.
Tally.cards.are mostly made oblong In shape.
or Square, some. however, are made heart
shaped, and they come in various other farci'
ful forms. The style OF finish and the number
OF colors used In the hand enclosing depend,
or course, upon the price of the card. Inc
card emblems, diamonds, spades, and 30 on, are
much used in the embossed decorations. They
are tiny In size, and often in their proper coiors,
the, hearts and diamonds in red, and the clubs
and spades in black.
1t Is probable that with two-thirds Of the
keeping tally, OF tho other third some are
marked with a pencil and some are punched.
There is now a punch that has O little pocket
attached to 1t in which the pieces punched from
the tally cards are caught, 30 that they shall

actually in the water. but it was due TO me that
nearly all the inhabitants of the village Of Elkton
were not drowned. 1t came about in this way:
II was pretty deeply interested in the build

sawmill. and ] could have mado q handsome
stake in real estate speculation all along tho

purchasers for other lots, and my friends mill

This was in the spring Of 1890, and by the
following winter my friend had closed his old
store in the lower town and practically every one
had moved to the new site. That winter Was q
hard one and much snow gathered up in the
mountains. Early in January, 1891. there was

A COAST SIGNAL SYSTEM.
To Ne Estabsishod 20 Keep tho Governmer
Informed OF Naval Movements.

WARRINGTON, Nov. "a plan is being per
fected by the Navy Department for the estab-
lishment of a complete system OF signal sta
tions along the Atlantic coast, by which ships OF
the navy passing near the shore maj receive
messages from and send them TO Washington
authorities. Such q system has been in opera
ton abroad, and has performed valuable service
for the navy. 1t is intended to use, when practi-
cable, the life-saving stations for signal towers.
and where such stations are not well located
new ones are to be established for the exclusive
use Of the signal service. A board has been ,ap-
pointed by Secretary Long to. report a practica-
Bic measure. This board consists OF ComnandeE
Schouler, Lieut.. Gibbons, Lieut.. HarioW,, ana
Lieut.. Anderson of the New York Naval Militia,
and has been in session several days.
Along the Long Island shore, and ct other
points where the life-saving service cannot 20
utilized for the new scheme, stations Will %
placed in charge of members OF the state mill
tia, which wilt have entire charge OF the system
In time of war. Communication from one sta-
tion to another will be bad by telephone and
telegraph, so that 1t will be possible for the
movements of a fleet sailing well lnshore 70 %
kept in touch with the entire system.
1t Is probable that the government will have
q special line of wire to Washington, In order
that II may DO kept in prompt communication
with the signal stations. when necessary: For
years Great Britain, France, and other Euro
bean powers have used q like system extensive
", and with q chain of life-saving stations OK
tending from Maine to Florida 1t will not be
difficult for the navy to apply 1t here.

Republican Candidate for Assembly in Onon-
daEa Dies Mt Noon on Election Dny.
SYRACUSE, Nov. 2.-Deat came to q Repub-
lican member of tho Assembly to-day, who was
being voted for by tho electors of the First dis
trict of onondaga county. William J. Bellen.
member from that district, and who was renom-
mated by the regular Republicans. died sudden
ly in Baldwinsville at noon to-day. The death
of Mr.. Bcllen means the election of William q.
Cottle, the Mckinley League and Democratic
nominee. Mr.. Bellcn had been in poor health
during the one term he served in the Assembly,
and for this reason was compelled TO absent him
self from The session. This is the first time on
record in the history of Onondaga county politics
that the voters have gone to the polls and voted
for n dead man. The news OF Bellep's death was
sent to all of the polling places, but a large mum.
Der of his friends went to the booths and voted
for him.
Acknowledgement Theodore E. Hancock has
written the following opinion:
II am informed that Mr.. Bellcn, the Repub-
Iican candidate for member Of Assembly in the
First district, died to-day at about noon. With
out examining the question specially i think
that IL Mr.. Gothic receives "a majority of the
votes cast he should DO declared elected beyond
any question. II. upon the other hand. a ma
jority of the votes cast were voted for Mr.. Bel
len. and those who cast the votes were ignorant
of the fact OF his death. 1t would be necessary to

Horse That Has Been Down.
''Oftener than not" said Mr.. Glimby. when
o horse falls down, IL he gets up all right and
without breaking anything, the driver before
starting on again gives him q cut with the
whip. This is often pertunctory. and appears
to DO 30 understood by the horse, who goes on,
not much hurt and not at al .disturbed.
"The purpose OF the cut appears to DO in the
first place admonitory. 1t says to the horse, You
want to keep an eye on your feet and not slide
around and fall down in that foolish manner
And 1. appears to be also a sort of salve. for
the wounded dignity of tho driver, whose dig
nifty certainly Is wounded, for not only is II q
moro or less ridiculous thing for the horse to do,
to fall down and founder around In the street,
but II Is moro or less a reflection upon the
driver as showing that he doesn't drive the best
Of stock, that his horses are not shod us they
ought to be, or that he Is not as skilled as he
might DO in driving. Sc 1t is natural that the
driver should do something to admonish the
horse and assert Enthusiastically his own supe-
riority. Hence the cut with the whip.
But sometimes the driver does not give the
horse this lick. When the horse scrambles to
his feet the driver looks down at him and at
the shafts and the harness, sees everything all
right, and then starts the horse up gently; no
cut Then there are men who, when the horse
falls down, are greatly disturbed, and breathe
greatly. relieved to tind everything all right. No
crack of the whip from a man OF this sort. He
Is glad to escape as no did.
That's all right. It's better, not to hit the
horse ut all, and o~f:course there's no excuse for
the man that hits his horse in anger, hut as TO
the purely formal cut with the whip which
many drivers administer under the circum-
stances described, and which appears to be
