TALLY STICKS.
They Were Generally Used Before
q -1I,1.C


49,. the Coming Of the AIphabet.
That tally sticks. >were&jat Gne.S time
pretty general may be concluded from.
the derivation of therword score, says
Chambers Journal In it's original sig
MITIGATION, a "score' is a scar" a cut
made in counting stick So also 3
tally is derived from the French
tailIe.
The Roman numerals are derived
from scores. They were mere notches
cut in wood originally. The V for five
was a rude representation Of the out
spread hand, and the x in like manner
symbolized all ten fingers; the Nv was a
comparatively late innovation; origi-
rally the ~ was represented by four
strokes, or notches, as in clock dials.
The old Celtic alphabet-the Ogham
writing-was of very similar, nay, iden-
teal, nature. 1t consisted of notches
cut at the corner of square stone, or
else from a stem line. The letters B.
L, F, S, N are formed by cutting strokes
at right angles to the stem line on the
right hand, and the letters H, D, Il, G,
Q by strokes at right angles to the left.
Thus, a single stroke to the right is Is,
and to the left is n, two to the right
is L, and the same number to the left
is D. Three to one side is F, three to
the other is T. Long strokes, number
ing from one to i've, cutting the stem
diagonally express M, G, Ng, st, r.
and short strokes, numbering from one
to five, cutting across the stem at right
angles, give the NOVELS,
1t is easy to see that the tally stick
was used for numbers before the alpha
bet was thought of by our Celtic fore
fathers. Having proved the tally stick
valuable for accounts, they applied it
for writing messages on rods and me-
MORALS on tombs. -
The old Runic slaves for calendars
were somewhat similar. Strange SYM
bols were introduced to mark the sew
eral festivals, but the days were indi-
Gated by notches.

any one.
Mr.. Anderson says that in his studies
made in preparation for devising this
machine, he found the speed of operat-
ing the ordinary typewriter was clear
ly limited by the fact that but one key
could be touched at a time, and but
one character printed at a time, while
with each of these operations the feed
ing and shifting mechanism had to be
moved. By a lingering system which
would bring all the fingers into play
these operations might be FASTENED,
but not enough. On the other hand,
if all the fingers could be made avail
able at once to select the letters for
word and then the word be printed
with single stroke of the hand, he be-
heved that the necessary speed would
be obtained to take speeches, testi-
mony or correspondence from dictation
instead of having to use pen or pencil
and shorthand characters. This is the
kind of machine he has made. The
whole affair occupies a space only six
irces square and goes into case
which is only two inches deep, after
the roll Of paper is removed and its
holder folded down. The machine and
its case weigh only about two and a
half pounds.
All the letters and characters that
are to be printed are to be found
marked upon the sixteen keys, which
lie next to one another within the four
outer keys If you press upon any OF
these keys without touching either Of
the outer keys, you will find hat you
have printed the letter or character
which is marked on the end nearest the
operator. Now, if you want to repeat
any of the letters in the second line,
you can do it by pressing at the same
time upon one of the outer keys, which
are marked ICONS line % or VOWS line
2" which bring forward either the con-
sonants or vowels as they may be
wanted So, also, with line 3. Figures
are printed by using the fingers of the
right hand while pressing a lever at
the left of the head of the machine.
1t will be noticed, also, that the six
teen keys are so arranged that thew
can be reached and c~erated in pairs,
so that one finger can press down
either one or both keys of each pair.
At work the palm of each hand rests
upon the outer shifting keys, the little
hngers upon the next shifting KEYS
the third, second and first fingers in
order upon the next keys, and the
thumb upon those which are clustered
at the front of the center of the ma
chine.
1t is not contended that accurate smell
ing can always be done, or that writ
ing can be produced which would do
for correspondence; but it is always
possible to do phonetic spelling, and at
each stroke to print either the whole
OF word or a great part of it,
The printing apparatus is cast on
segments of circle, like those used in
the Hammond typewriter, but very
much smaller. These segments lie lust
over the back ends of the keys, with
one line of letters over each KEY. The
shifting keys merely turn those seq
ments to expose the proper line Of
type, and then when the KEYS are
pressed they bring the paper and ink
ribbon up against the type and make
the imprint. With each movement the
paper is fed forward the width of a

THE WESTERN SADDLE.
The Cowboys Mode of Riding and

BE 1t known that he who has ridden
only on an English pig-skin will find
that there are things he has no knowI
edge of when first he throws a leg over
the stock saddle of the West; and when
he has seen a broncho-buster ride a
bucking mustang on it's native heath
he must admit that although the cow
boy may be neither neat nor well-man-
nered he can yet give points on riding
to those who follow the fox hounds,
says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine
AS the cowboys mode Of riding is
distinctive, so is his horse furniture
and it is admirably adapted to his par

The secretary of agriculture has instruct
ed Mr.. Saunders the horticulturist of. the
department, to visit Summerville, S. c., for
the purpose Of inspecting the tea farm of
Dr. shepherd, Of that place, who is the only
States, says the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record. DR.. Shepherd originally
secured his plants from Mr.. Saunders during
the Hayes administration. The newspapers
had great deal of fun with Mr.. LIE Due,
or Minnesota, who was commissioner of
agriculture then, about this same tea farm,
IN which he took great deal of interest.
But IT appears that DR.. Shepherd has gone
on with his experiments and has been adding
TO MS farm annually, until now he has about
nfty acres in tea plants, and will add ten
acres more during the present season. He
also nnds the business profitable. He is able
10 sell all the tea he can raise at 81 a pound,
and he has recently sent samples to Wash
lngton to show its superior quality. The
chlef expenses Of raising the tea is in cur
ing the crop The harvest Is continual. From
the time the new leaves begin to unfold they
are picked from theHElan9 and the picking
is Kept up all summer. A great deal of
care and judgment must be exercised, so as
to pluck only those leaves that are in proper
condition, and to avoid induring the plant.

the cultivation of tea Els left almost entirely
to women, and the heason the product of
those countries is so lcheap is because plenty
OF skilled labor can be hired for 6, and 10
cents day. DR.. Shepherd, of Summerville,
has found the young ;colofed girls perfectly
competent, and is able to pay them two or
three times as much as the Japanese women
get and still make money,

TITS YELLOW JACK
Disease at Ocean Springs De-
clared to Be the Dreaded
Yellow Fever.
Rigid Precautions Being Taken
to Absolutely Isolate the
Town..
Government Officials Inclined to
Doubt the Diagnosis Of the
Disease.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 7.-President
Olliphant of the Louisiana board ct
health sent a telegram to that board
here at 10 o'clock, confirming the re.
port that the physicians at Ocean
Sprins had declared the prevailing sick
ness undoubtedly yellow fever. The
doctors Of three states came to this con.
clusion after holding an autopsy on the
body of a person who just died.
Couriers are now skirmishing around
the city for sufficient members to make
up a quorum of the state board Of health
in order to declare quarantine against
Ocean Springs, which is about 100 miles
from this city. Rigid precautions will
be taken to absolutely isolate the
Springs, and it is confidently hoped here
by leading physicians that the precau.
tons will be successful in keeping the
disease from spreading to this place. A
case in point is that Of Biloxi, several
years ago, when there was an epidemic
of yellow fever. Biloxi is closer to New
Orleans than Ocean Springs, but the
medical men were successful in confin.
ing the sickness to that city.
There is little or no alarm here, but
s%ojourners on the coast are returning to
the city and will spend the balance of
the summer as home. The result of
the quarantine will probably be the
taking off the excursion and regular
trains which run between New Orleans
and Ocean Springs, and which touch
at the various resorts along the shore.
The fever has been prevalent at
Ocean Springs for ssme time. Two
weeks ago. after a careful investigation,
the Louisiana authorities declared the
disease to be dengue, Y nich it probably
was at that time, the disease being
mild and the death rate trifiing. Dur
ing the past week however, the disease
has become more virulent and has
probably developed into yellow jack.
Louisiana vii Quarantine.
The state board Of health has decided
to enforce a rigid quarantine against
Biloxi and Ocean Springs. Quarantine
will also be enforced against the Other
watering places on the gulf coast, until
President Oliphant returns and more
light is obtained ON the situation.
Guards are to be put on the train:
and at the stations, all baggage is to b.
fumigated and every precaution is to b.
taken to keepthe disease out of the city
The Louisville and Nashville train:
have been ordered not to stop at either
Biloxi or Ocean Springs. The houses OF
all people who have returned to New
Orleans in the past two days are to be
thoroughly fumigated.
