The old Scotchwoman who liked her
minister because 'he toombles the
joodment an confoonds the sense
would have appreciated a 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. II
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 1t does
mean, but If you will go forward in the
act OF Parliament you will find that it
means the cultivation of foreign lam
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
first nan who has found it hard to
draw a 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
national drink bill" for beverages OF
all kinds amounted last year to more
than twelve hundred and twenty
eight million dollars. Alcoholic liq-

dollars; coffee, for one hundred and
twenty-five millions; tea for thirty.
seven millions, and cocoa for six mil

that our consumption of alcohol is not
increasing, and this, OF course, Is a

The omnigraph, as a new instrument
designed to teach the art of telegraphy
is called, consists of a 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
OF the disk. Although irregular. the
arrangement of the teeth is arbitrary.
Fol- II the disk be rotated by means OF
a 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
sounder recognizes them as the dots
and dashes of the Morse alphabet.
