TeIerranhic Shorthand

A complete Geographic system of
shorthand has been laboriously worked
out by Mr.. A. c. Barono and named

bet to ten short characters or sounds,
which are so manipulated by a key
as t o express anything and everything

being made which will, it is said, make
messages so cheap that they will be
largely used instead of letters.

It is Harry Hawes who informs us that the work of collecting beautiful waitresses for the Tyrolean Alps on Skinker road is now going on. Casper Koehler is laboriously searching the cafes of Germany and Austria for the prettiest maidens to be found and the only real original European beauty show will be seen on the Catlin tract We shall have to overlook the fact that the young women in the Tyrolean will lage never saw Tyrol: but it will mat ter little after the costumer has turn ed them out as correct in designs an opera chorus, with their hair-or some body's-in two long braids down their back. and an Alpine hat, with q green feather in. It is just as well that this information be given out in advance, and that the public be not led astray by the fancy that feminine humanity in the Tyrolean Alps is one unvarying vision of loveliness.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
