Ancient Telegraphy.

Long before the dawn of the
Christian era wireless methods
of communicating intelligence to
d distance were employed-not
electric telegraphs as the term is
generally understood, it is true,
but wireless they certainly were.
Polybius, the Greek historian,
describes a telegraph system EN-,
ployed for military purposes, 300
b. c., in which torches were plac.
ed on high walls in prearranged
positions to correspond to letters
of the Greek alphabet, and by a
suitable manipulation Of the tor.
ches messages were thus trans
mitted to a distance. The Gauls,
too, were won't to transmit impor.
tant intelligence to q distance by
a cruder but simpler method. A
messenger was sent TO the top of
a hill, where he shouted his mes
sage, apparently to the winds.
Soon from afar a remote voice
repeated the message to another
listener further on, and thus,
from one to another, the message
sped, and it is recorded that in
three days a message calling all
of the tribes of the Gauls to arms
travelled in this way from Auver-
gne to the forests of America in
one direction, and to the banks of
the Rhine in another.
Later on came another wire.
less telegraph systematic sema.
phore telegraph-and this was in
operation all over Europe prior to
and for some time after the intro
duction of the electric telegraph.
The semaphore telegraph en-
ployed arms on posts akin to
those seen to-day along every
railway in the world, and a Ger.
tain position of the arms, like the
torches in the Polybius system,
corresponded to certain letters
Of the alphabet, and by varying
the position of the arms as re-
quired, experts were able to
transmit messages from one sta
ton to the other at the rate of two
or three words per minute. The
towers on the top of which the
semaphores were erected were
so to 60 feet high, and were plac-
ed on eminences six or eight
miles apart. In Russia alone
there was string of these tow
ers from the Prussian frontier to
st. Petersburg, a distance of L.
200 miles or re.-Cassier's

Young Girl Disappears.

Two weeks ago Mamie Etter,
the 16 year old daughter of Jno.
F. Etter, who resides near Mar
ion, and who had been making
her home with her sister, Mrs.
Bruce Statler, near Guilford, left
Mrs. Statler's residence with the
purpose, as she said, of going TO
visit her parents. That was the
last seen of her by her friends.
She never reached her parents
home and has not been anywhere
in the neighborhood, as far as can
be learned.
Itis said she walked toGuilford
Springs and there bought a tick

the last seen of her by any one
who knew her.
Her friends are much worried
and are trying in every way to
learn of her whereabouts, but so

"To Know All is to Forgive ALL"

If knew YOU and you knew me
II both of us could clearly see,
Aud with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in frieudliness:
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If knew you, and you knew me-
II knew you and you knew me,
AS each one knows his own self, we
Could look each other in the face
And see therein a truer grace.
Life has so many hidden woes,
So many thorns for every rose;
The "why" of things our hearts would
see,
II knew you and you knew me.

Rules For Diet.

l. Eat when you are hungry.
2. Drink when you are thirsty.
3. Eat enough, and. then stop.
4. Eat what your appetite calls
for.
>. Train your appetite and
stomach by eating the greatest
possible variety. You are not a
shirk; why should you let your
stomach become one? Many
foods are not liked the first time
they are tasted, such as oysters;
hence unless you try thing sew
eral times, you do not know
whether you like it or not. Hence,
never say you dislike a thing till
you have eaten of it three times.
6. Regulate the comparison of
your food by the work you do,
using strong food when you are
doing hard work, lighter food
when sedentary.
Z. Don'tlet your doctor attempt
to regulate your diet by his own
stomach.
8. Beware of the diet crank.
All beyond this is foolish and
vexation of the stomach-Candian

THE TRUTH At LAST.

"Mr. Winthrop. I believe? You, too

are most easily moved by such scenes
as this; one would not ascribe such u
soft side to Mr.. Winthrop" said Mrs.
Graham.
He felt the hot. unruly blood surge
to his face and recede. leaving him
death-like in pallor: his eyes. now
black with the intensity OF emotion,
burned into hers: his head was lifted
as proudly as was hers in the soft lilac
twilight.
Miss Catherwood's light hand was
trembling upon her lovers arm. terri
fed lest there be some bitter scene
between these two: and Lane Leland
drew himself up with equal dignity
with John Winthrop, ready to defend
his fancee's friend should there be
need. JessIca Gray's hands were
clasped In her lap. and her eyes were
upon these two. scarcely noting the
others. although she showed no spe-
cial interest gave that strange flicker
In her eyes. like Eewly wakened fire.
Mrs. Winthrop had turned her sweet.
calm face trustingly to her son. the
tender sen lights upon her snowy
hair. a wonderful peace in her soft
blue eyes. waiting for him to speak
and prove this woman's ininstice,--.
