As late aS the end of the sixteenth

These were usually made of brass
with carrying capacity ranging from
two 10 -four quarts of water The tive
quart "squrts' were two and a hal
feet in length, one and half inches il
diameter at their largest part and bu
half an inch at the nozzle. ON eact

The Graphophone S Increasing Uses.

Inc increasing use OF the graphophone
record as means of communication Is
again brought 10 public notice by the
Salt Lake, Utah, Tribune, which relatt S,
among other instances, the circum.
stance OF the receipt by Mr. o. b Olsen.
OF that city, of graphophone message
from his br Their in Norway, whom he
mad not seen for more than twenty
years. The message carried with il not
only the usual fraternal greetings aud
good wishes, but came in the well re.
membered tones OF his brolhers voice
The record contained much information
from Mr.. Olsen's old home and is cher
ished by the recipient as ones Of the most
highly priced OF his possessions.
The graphophone has become IA recog.
nized medium of exchange OF communi.
cations and is coming largely into use
by enterprising business men who do
not hesitate to adopt new methods when
1t Is shown they are improvements upon
the old ways. To this class of men the
argument that "this method has been in
use fortgenerations and is therefore good
enough carries no conviction. One
might with equal reason maintain that
because he has been in Jail for three
months he should remain there three
years or the remainder Of his life. /
Another field which the graphophone
has invaded is that of the court reporter
In Los Angeles, California, the transcrib.
ing of court records has been revolutions
ized by the graphophone. Formerly
when a reporter finished his work in
court there were many hundreds of
pages of shorthand notes TO be tran
scribed. Until recently, the attorneys
or the court would, perforce, be content
with a transcript a week or ten DAYS
afterl the testimony had been taken.
AS the result of the installation of four
in the Office used by the
court reporters, copies of the proceed
ing can be delivered to applicants with.
IN an hour after court adiourns.
II II should be necessary TO do so. and
under any circumstances within, say.
three hours. In newspaper work the
new system is shown TO be almost in.
as In cases where poiti. I
cal speeches or other addresses are :
wanted for publication verbatim re. :
port can be delivered at the newspaper .
oilce within AL hour after the speaker Y
has closed his address. The shorthand
notes are dictated to the graphophones.

chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment OF
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity all
these years. you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists ana
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for Con-
sumption, where there is difficult expec-
toration and coughing during the nights
and mornings, there is nothing like Ger
man Syrup. Sold by all druggists In the
civilized world.
