JOHN ADAMS WIFE.
A Letter From Abigail Adams-Fhe
Vice President's Function.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6, 1897.
Dear Sir-I received your letter Of
Nov. "a by the post Of yesterday. With
respect to the notes you write me
about, l wish you to do by them as you
would by your own as l do not want
at present either principle or interest.
/ think IT would be most for my inter
est to do by them as you propose. The
method you mention, Of adding to the
clubhouse so as to give me dairy room,
like very much and would leave 1t to
your Judgment. l think 1t would be
best to have it large enough to take Of
q closet that cold yictuals, etc, may not
be MKT in with dairy affairs. / should
be glad to have it complicated If pOssi-
BILE before l return in the spring, but
the winter has set in with great vio-
lence here, and the rivers are already
have q chance of getting any cheese
here.
Congress are but just getting into
business, and the vice president is not
yet arrived to sit six months togeth-
er Regulating debates, moderating
warmth and reading papers Is a labori-
Gus task and what. fancy, the present
V. =. does not like so well as rocking In
his pivot chair or amusing himself
with the vibration of a pendulum. /
have never yet seen the southern man,
Washington excepted, who could bear
close application for any length of
time. What ringing would here have
been in all the JacobiniCal prayers
from one end Of the United States to
the other If somebody else had done so!
We are all we'll. The cold weather
has entirely put stop to the yellow fe-
yer, and no person would now suppose
that such calamity had ever befallen
the city. The synod recommended a
day of fasting and prayer. The differ
ence between this place and n. Eng
land was this: Being recommended by
a body of Presbeterian ministers, none
of the church clergy would join in it.
Every shop in the city was open as
usual, and very small proportion Of
the inhabitants attended worship. Busi-
ness and pleasure went on as usual.
Remember me to Mrs. Tufts and all
other friends. From your ever affec-
tionate ABIGAIL ADAMS.
Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1901-06-27
THE BRITISH TOURIST,
He Was Pleasantly Surprised by tn,
Train Boys Attentions.

He Was Pleasantly Surprised by the
Train Boys Attentions.
The British tourist sat In the car and
gazed idly across the bleak prairies
He felt a slight touch and, looking
around, found that a uniformed youth
had deposited several ruddy oranges
on the seat.
"He didn't wait for the money" re-
marked the tourist, gazing from the
fruit to the rapidly retreating train
boy.
"He never does" said the fellow pas
senger, with knowing smile.
"Oh, see! 1t is one Of the advan-
tages Of your great railroad system.
Free fruit for its patrons"
The British tourist was just peeling
the second orange when a dainty pack
age of chocolate confectionery was de-
posted on his knee.
by Jove," he exclaimed enthusias-
tically, this is delightful! When re-
turn home, shall write paper on the
excellence Of American travel"
In less than ten minutes he was the
recipient of another package. 1t was
little box containing a black cigar and
two matches.
mo wonder you Americans like to

PECULIAR NAMES.
The Queer Way Ten Million Children
Were Designated.

'1n long experience in the treasury
department have come across very
large number Of names, many Of which
are rather peculiar" explained an old
official, "but l think the list Of names
In connection with the subscription to
the 3 per cent bonds surpasses any
thing in the way Of peculiarity that
have ever observed. OF these the one
that struck me most was man who
signed himself Ten Million and who re-
sides out in Oregon. We thought the
name was an imaginative one and
wrote the man that 1t was desired that
the bonds should be registered In real
names only and that no further atten-
ton would be paid to his subscription
until he was heard from. He replied
that his name was Ten Million. His
letter was written on the printed letter
head of the firm Of Million & Million,
two brothers.
Then followed an explanation that
his father and mother were unable to
select names for their children that
were mutually satisfactory and that as
q result, though they had had ten chill
dren, none Of them was ever christened
formally. The first child was girl,
and she was known only as One Mil
lion. The second child, also girl, was
known as Two Million. Thus they ran
along until Ten Million was reached,
and he was the writer Of the letter. the
other member of the firm being a
brother whose only name, as far as the
family was concerned, was Seven MIL
lion. the seventh child. He added that
One Million had afterward called her
self Una Million, that the third girl was
known after she had grown up as Trio
Million. The others had taken on addi-
tions to their names, and he had adopt
ed the name Of TENTS Million, but his
real name was Ten Million and nothing
else. The bonds were issued to him
and On the books of the department
were registered In the name of Ten
Million. -Washington'Star.

LEARNING TELEGRAPHY.
A Novel Device That Should Aid
Would He Operators.

A Novel Device That Should Aid
Would He Operators.
1t takes the ordinary telegraph pupil
a long time to read infallibly the tick
ing of the sounder An instrument has
appeared, says a writer in the Chicago
Record Herald, which is designed to
simplify instructions in telegraphy and
to give in a comparatively short time
complete knowledge of the Morse al
phabet.
The omnigraph, as this instrument Is
called, consists of a base board on
which are an ordinary key and sounder
and a toothed disk. A spring contact
adjacent to the wheel engages the pc
ripheral teeth of the disk. If the disk
be rotated, the spring contact is forced
outwardly by the teeth, but drops back
automatically and thus makes and
breaks the circuit. The experienced
telegraph operator detecting these
makes and breaks of the sOunder rec
ognizes them as the dots and dashes OF
the Morse alphabet.
A close inspection of the disk reveals

disk be turned in forward direction,
this sentence, thus oddly worded to in
clude every letter of the alphabet, is
licked off at the sounder. If rotated in
the opposite direction, the sentence will
be telegraphed backward.
This disk, which is completely under
the control of the student, can be turn
ed at any desired speed. thus giving
him an admirable opportunity Of try
ing himself at all gaits. If he is not
quick reader, the practice can be taken
at slow rate and gradually worked up
until it reaches a speed that would try
the most skillful operator. When the
student has learned to receive mes
sages at all grades of speed, he can
take up the transmission of messages
in the regular way by means of the
key which forms part of the apparatus.
