the acquaintance Of a couple OF
Scotsmen who worked as farm hands
on an estate near Princeton, and,
learning that they did not &c to
church, hauled them over the Goals
for backsliding and induced them to
attend Sunday services regularly.
They were simple-minded men, with
immense respect for the venerable in
structor, and they invariably ran to
him to settle disputes or to advise
them in matters OF business. One
morning they appeared before him as
he was going to chapel, and told him
they had had a quarrel as to the sign
Of hearing the first cuckoo of the
eason Jamie had said that It was a
sign that the one who heard It would
speedily marry; Sandy declared it was
a sign that the hearer would get
speedily rich.
"Its a sur sign Of somethin', doc
tor. What may It be? Can ye tell
us?"
yes" said the doctor. ITO hear
the first cuckoo Of the season is a
sur sign you're not deaf"
And he solemnly turned on his
heel and left them staring after him.

Amusing Account Dc the Way Eliza
beth Jordan Was outwitted.
The following story is told about
Miss Elizabeth O. Jordan. whose new
book Tales of Destiny. has just
been published by the Harpers. When
Miss Jordan was working on the stan
Of n Of the chief newspapers in
New York she had an assistant whom
we viii call Miss @. One day Miss
9 ordered a modest luncheon brought
to her desk. when Miss Jordan observed
IL temptingly displayed during Miss Q's
absence from the room. Miss @ fail
ing to return. Miss Jordan raised a
cover Of n Of the dishes. which Prov
ed very attractive to a hungry woman
whose absorption in work had caused
her to forget her 0wn luncheon. The
tasting Of one dish led to the eating
OF It. Still Miss @ did not arrive.
Miss Jordan seated herself and throw
ing care to the winds, ate the entire
luncheon, carefully replaced the Gov
ers, and returned to her desk. Pres
emily Miss @ arrived and sat down
with an air of PHEASANT satisfaction.
Removing the covers one by n she
discovered her loss. and without re-
mark left the room. Il was not long
before a walter appeared at Miss Q's
desk bearing a tray loaded down with
all the delicacies Of the season, in
Guiding quail on toast. To this stump
tuous repast Miss Q now sat down.
Meanwhile the waiter had approached
Miss Jordan and presented her bill.
She looked at tie amount. It was
$3.50.
This was t0-Se charged to you,
MN said the waiter.
Certainly" said Miss Jordan, con-
tinuing her work without the slightest
change Of continuance.

FOR reaching Teleqraphy.

Here is a simple and yet accurate
apparatus with the aid of which any
Industrious child can gain a knowledge
Of the art Of %telegraphy, with practice
in receiving as well as sending mes
sages. The chief difficulty to over
come is the training of the ear to
catch and distinguish the length and
number Of the dots End dashes, the
sending Of a message being a compar-
atively easy task. The former method
Of attaining proficiency in receiving
was to have a person send a message
after message to the learner, a tire
some process to the sender, as patience
and perseverance are required in the
work. With the new apparatus the
learner needs no assistant, simply
grinding out his own dots and dashes
as fast or slow as may be necessary
to correspond with his speed in receiv-
ing. The ordinary form of key and
sounder are used, being wired to the
battery in the usual way. There is
also a circluit formed between the
sOunder and q spring tongue resting on
the edge Of the rotary disk. In line
with the points of the tongue the disk
is covered at proper intervals with
non-conducting projections, which
break the contact between the tongue

pend upon the GOODNESS and nerve of
men TO put It in operation or regulate
It when once IN action. Recent loss of

filled want in this direction, and John

chief advantage lying in the control Of

must pass from one side to the other

Of the crank can be completed. As
the internal diameter Of the cylinders
nearly corresponds with the size Of the
piston, It is obvious that the flow Of
the liquid must be comparatively slow.
Thus, no matter what weight is In the
cars attached to the endless chains,
there is no danger of damage from ex-
treme speed. The inventor proposes
TO limit the speed Of cars still more in
passing each window to enable persons
to enter the cars with safety. This is
accomplished by making n revolu-
ton of the cranks correspond to the
fall of a al from one window to the
next, decreasing the internal diameter
Of the piston at one end to make the
liquid pass more slowly around the
piston at that end. AS a portion of the
