The Early TeIeuraph.

Long before Professor s. F. b
Morse had perfected his great in
vention the word telegraph" was
used for a, sort of semaphore. In
the French revolution a "tele-
graph" assisted by telescopes, was
devised to carry news over immense
distances. Forty years before this
time, however, there was published
the first detailed scheme for COM
munication by means of electricity.
1t is outlined in a letter to the
Scots Magazine, written on Feb. l,
1853, from Renfrew and signed &c
NJ" This suggestion was to trans
NIT charge from the conductor
of an electrical machine at the send
ing station along an insulated wire
to the receiving machine, the pres
ence of the charge being indicated
by the behavior of a light pith ball
or the passage Of spark" Each
letter of the alphabet was to have a
separate wire, so that any word
might be spelled out and any mes
sage sent.

Anent the Graveyard.

A numbering old stage was wind
ing in and out over a remote road
in the Adirondacks. There was
only one passenger, and he had
chosen to sit beside the driver. Sew
eraf times he had tried converse
ton, but had met with so little en-
enlargement that he had given up
and was silently watching the land
scape.
Presently they came to a tiny
mountain burying ground, contain
ing a few gravestoncs and few I'M
marked graves. The passenger look
ed at it, struck by its air of loneli-
ness, which seemed to stir in him
afresh the desire for human inter-
course. He turned again to the
driver, pointed toward the grave
yard and observed:
"People around here don't seem
to die very often, do they?"
As.1seithout turning his head the
driver said:

A pevonshire Joke.

A few days ago a Devonshire
Snowman played a practical joke at
Barnstaple. As the country folk
passed his tent they were interested
at seeing the following notice;
"Come and see the musical dog; ad-
mission twopence." Naturally a
good many people paid their two
pences and entered the tent, which
was empty save for big dog wear
ing a large metal collar, but no
musical dog" was visible. At last
Impotence mastered curiosity, and
one of the audience asked the show
man when the performance was 60
ing to begin. He seemed much sur
prised at the question and made for
the tent door. Once there and in
easy reach of the open ground, he
pointed to the dog in the tent, say
ing: "Why, that's the musical dog.
Can't you see the brass band
around his neck?"

Taking No Chances.

A tall man impatiently pacing
the platform of a wayside station
accosted a red haired boy of about
twelve. "S-s-say," he said, "d-d-do
y-you know ha-ha-how late this
train is?" The boy grinned, but
made no reply. The man suffered
out something about red headed
kids in general and passed into the
station, A stranger, overhearing
the one sided conversation, asked
the boy why he hadn't answered the
big man. 'D-d-d'ye wanter see me

stammered the boy. "D-d-dat big
