TeIegraphers' Grip.

Il have lost my grip.
This phrase is applied by men to all
kinds of failures. One of the technical
uSages of losing ones grip is in the
case of telegraph operators.
Many of the most skilled operators
suffer at times from loss of the grip
and are compelled to give way tempo
rarily to a substitute. This grip" is
the hold on the key, and the moment
the operator begins to lose the control
of this grip he realizes a rest, al
though for only brief time, is due
him.
Another but unpleasant term applied
to this loss of grip" is photographers
paralysis" 1t shows itself in many
curious ways. all showing that the
muscles brought into play in working
the key are badly worn.
One of the most skillful operators in
Louisville. who is subject to these at
tacks, cannot send "P." The Morse
manual calls for five dots for this let
ter. The operator in question has by
some hook or crook lost the power to
stop at the fifth dot, and it is a COM
mon thing for him to warn the taker to
look out for his ''P's."
Recently he asked a fellow operator
to watch him send 'P's" and to stop
him at the end of the fifth dot. 1t re-
suited that, although he would be
warned at the fourth dot, the fingers,
no longer mastered by the brain, would
continue dotting beyond the fifth

Growth of Magazine Illustration

From 324 illustrations in 1894 to
1900 in 1900 are the figures which de-
note the numerical growth and devei-
opment of the pictorial features in
The Ladies Home journal in six
years. This 400 per cent. increase in
numbers is rather dwarfed by the fact
that nearly 1000 per cent. more space
is now given to pictures than six
wears ago, and that the quality or ar
tistic value of the illustrations has
improved beyond computation. A
few years ago magazine making was
thought by some to have attained a
degree OF perfection that precluded
further advancement, but it seems to
have been in its infancy. The read
ing public now insists upon illustra-
tions. and in meeting that demand it
is safe to say that the pictures printed
in The Ladies Home Journal in 1900
exceed in number. size, quality and
cost those published in all tn eleading
m lgazines ten wears ago.

The Russians.

An Englishman in Russia says that
Eve may dislike Russia as we viii and
perhaps must. but there is no denying
that the men and women of Russia are
good lockers" The men are tall and
well built" The women, especially
those of the upper classes. have a grace
and fascination that is all their own
The writer adds: Il am tired of hear
ing English people say that this is all
show and that if knew them better
should be greatly disappointed. Be-
hind good looks and refined manners
have found the depth and sincerity of
the Scotch combined with the wit and
humor of the Irish"

Proposition Rejected.

IS. The interesting proposition Is made
that the laimau be sworn in and hen
turned out. upon the theory that the pgT-
pose Is TO permanently part company with
Mr.. Roberts. THi- is Il dubious proceeding.
Such action requires the vote of twu-tAIrI,
of The members. We ask if such a. vote Is
possible or right, in view of the following
observations:
The expulsion clause OF the Constitution
is IS follows:
