The old Scotchwoman who liked her
minister because "he joombles the
joodment an confoonds the sense"
would have appreciated bit of British
legislation which the premier seems to
view with sardonic amusement. .In
an act OF Parliament" says Lord
Salisbury, (which authorizes us to
press forward technical instruction. it
Is distinctly said that technical in
struction does not mean instruction in
any art. or craft, or livelihood. OF
course it is rather difficult under those
circumstances to know what it does
mean, but If you will go forward in the
act of Parliament you will find that it
means the cultivation of foreign Ian
guages." This is diverting indeed, but
the humor of the thing does not limit
its significance. Probably the British
legislator did not know exactly what
he did want. Assuredly he is not the

draw clear distinction betwixt "you
may, you must. you cannot, and you
should"

Omitting the cost of water and the
products OF the soda fountains, the
American Grocer estimates that the
aatlonal drink bill" for beverages of
al kinds amounted last year to more
than twelve hundred and twenty
eight million dollars. Alcoholic liu-
uors account for more than billion
dollars; coffee, for one hundred and
twenty-five millions; tea for thirty
seven millions, and cocoa for six mil
lions. Statistics are given to show
that our consumption of alcohol is not
increasing, and this, OF course, is a
thing to be thankful for; but the seri-
Gus fact remains, that for these, beyer-
ages-some of which are unnecessary
and others distinctly harmful-there is
squandered every year money enough
to provide the comforts of life for all
who are in misery.

The omnigraph, as a new instrument
DESIGNED to teach the art of telepranhu

The omnigraph, as new instrument
designed to teach the art of telegraphy
is called, consists of Dashboard on
which are secured an ordinary key
and sounder, between which a disk is
mounted, formed on its periphery with
teeth. A spring contact adjacent to
the wheel engages the peripheral teeth
q the disk. Although irregular, the
arrangement of the teeth is arbitrary.
Sor If the disk be rotated by means of
small crank shaft geared with
the disk shaft, the spring contact is
forced outwardly by the teeth, but
drops back by its own elasticity and
thus makes and breaks the circuit. The
experienced telegraph operator detect
Ing these makes and breaks at the
eounder recognizes them as the dots
and dashes of the Morse alphabet.

What Is the secret Of their great sue

have won and held the confidence Of
the great and constantly increasing
body Of consumers by always main-
tanning the highest standard in the
quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles of good quality can be put
upon the market. They welcome hon-r
est competition; but they feel justified
in denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed off on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles.
The best grocers refuse to handle SUCH
goods, not alone for the reason that
in the long run, it doesn't pay to do It.,
but because their sense of fair dealing.
will not permit them to aid in the sale
OF goods that defraud their customary
and injure honest manufacturers.
