baseless dream. One is that the cheap
electric motor supplying power at home
Will break up the factory system, and bring
back the domestic manufacturing of old
days But If this power cost nothing at all
the gift would leave the factory unassailed,
for we must remember that power is being
steadily reduced in cost from year to year,
so that In many industries ii has but a
minor place among the expenses of produc-
ton. The strength and profit OF the fac
tory system lie in its assembling a wide
variety of machines. the first delivering its
product to the second for another step to-
ward completion. and so on until finished
article is sent TO the wareroom. IT is this
minute subdivision OF labor. together with
the saving and efficiency that inure to a
business conducted on an immense scale
under a single manager, that bids US be-
lieve that the factory has come to stay. To
be sure, weaver.a potter or lens grind

Well 1 threw him off, but it was a tough

near licking both me and the brakeman.
The station where this happened was in
the heart of a wild moonshine district and
the crowd that collected all sympathized
with the passenger AS we pulled out they
stoned the train. 1 expected to hear from
the fellow almost at once; but L didn't, and
the affair soon passed out OF my mind.

for the whole family TO adjourn for dinner

hotel. choosing viands from an unfamiliar
menu, and sitting down at a table which
involves no responsibility to any one con-
cerned, beyond that of settling the reckon
ing when the meal is over. The expense is,

From Study of the Hand
A considerable divergence of opinion ex-
lists as to the rate at which the finger
nails grow. Bean gives as a rule that the
nails of the hand grow mm per week. AT
this rate the nails which average is nm. in
length, would take 105 days to grow out
Dufour gives 121 to 13S days. The fact is.
the pace of growth varies very much, not
only at different ages, but in different in
dividualS of the same age. Influenced by
many external and internal conditions. the
pace also varies in the same person from
time to time. A few observations will be
submitted to the notice of the reader as to
the growth of finger-nails in men at differ
ent ages. At twenty-one years the nail was
replaced in 126 days; at thirty-one years in
159 days; at thirty-two years in IS days; at
fifty-five years in 10 days at sixty-seven
years, in IA days. 1t is curious that in this
growth the swiftest grower was a tubercu-
lous subject, who had a sharp attack of
blood-spitting during the observation. Sea
air is said to quicken the growth of the
nails. profound grief has been credited
with the power of destroying them. A valu-

HUB of THE WORLDS TELEGRAPH.
Sixty Telegraph Companies Have "a
Clearing House ut Berne.
Ainslee's Magazine.

Ainslee's Magazine.
Although thousands of miles of line were
in operation before 1865 the world telegraph
as it exists to-day dates from that time
and from a convention held in Paris TO
adopt regulations for international tele-
graphic operations Previously, in sending
a message from one country TO another,
delays were encountered which made the
telegraph little more expeditions than the
post. In travelling across Europe message
not only occupied an exasperating amount
OF time, but also accumulated an appai-
ling list of charges reckoned in different
kinds of money for each country II had
passed through. These charges could not be
paid in advance, because the amount of
them was not known at the point from
which the message was sent. Ii may be
imagined that under such conditions the
telegraph was not generally employed in
transacting business.
From the point of view of the private citi-
zen, the most important work done by the
Paris convention was to arrange a uni
form schedule of Geographic rates, and to
provide that messages might be sent In
code, or secret language, II desired. Ar
rangements were likewise made for the
more rapid transmission of international
messages.
As result of the work of this and sue
ceedng conventions, we have the marvel
ously intricate yet simple system of send
ing telegraphic messages which prevails
to-day. 1t is possible now to send a mes
sage from any village that can boast
world that is reached by the farspreading
maze of wires. Moreover, the sender may
feel assured that his message will go for
ward quickly, and it requires but moment
for the clerk to inform him as to its exact
cost.
Considering that the. ownership of the
various telegraph and cable lines OF the
world is divided between nearly forty diff
ferent governments and half that number
of private companies, this is highly in
teresting example of business centraliza-
ton. Ii has been brought about through
the establishment of the international
Bureau of Telegraphs. at Berne, Switzer-
land. This bureau codified the charges of
the many different countries subscribing TO
the union, using the franc as basis for all
rates. 1t has brought about many other
changes calculated to extend and improve
the telegraph business. it's most recent un-
dertaking being the compilation of great
dictionary, or international telegraphic
code containing some 100000 terms taken
from almost every language in existence.
