The natives of Gomera, one of the
Canary Isles, converse with one an
other by whistling on their fingers,
and, if you understood these different
whistles, you would find 1t possible to
understand a message mile off. Each
syllable of word has its own peculiar
sound. Gomera is cut up by a number
of deep glens, which are not bridged
over, and, as 1t would otherwise be
impossible for the inhabitants on sepa-
rate sides of glen to talk with one
smother without going long way
round to meet, they have hit upon the
whistling device as the best means Of
communication.

Note. from the parl. E.po.ition.

1.-The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having very creditable exhibit.
located in Group XIII, Class IS, at the
Paris International Exposition. where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
Is used in every country on the globe.
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action OF
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should 1t be possible that any. OF
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call al
any Of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found In all cities and most
| towns In the United States"

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Z. - Yesterdays
decision of the individual coal opera

regarded throughout the anthracite
region as the beginning of the end OF

operators Yesterday made announce

have not yet expressed their inten-

operators powder viii be sold to the
miners at $3.50 per keg. instead OF

secure some concessions from the

not state, however, when such con-

opinion prevails that he will wait until

to grant the increase. Meanwhile
preparations continue for the mass
