1000 WORDS A MINUTE.
Some Of the Wonders Of the New Tele
post System OF Telearaphina.

The communicating or transmission of
language To "a distance is of very remote
origin. The word "telegraphy." strictly
defined, means writing afar off As
practiced today, however, it has a wider
and broader meaning signfyiug the send
ing of messages to a distance bv any
means excepting speech
The method of transmitting messages
by sight signals H. perhaps one of the
earliest known The sending up of col
umns of smoke from the top of high
hills and mountains was one method used
10y the Indians of this country for many
years; and flag and torch signaling or
'wigWaggtng. as ii is called. is stll used
by the army and navy to "a certain
extent.
Signaling by sound. such as blowing
a whistle or ringing of bells. is used
generally throughout the world. while
the electric telegraph, an invention of
comparatively recent years. L. the most
important and most used Of all An
interesting and instructive article could
be written upon each of these different
methods. But in the present article We
shall cuntine ourselves to the electrical
method.
There were various methods of electric
signaling used to a limited extent up
to the time of the wonderful invention
of Morse and the practical working Of
his system. A good deal of credit was
due to Joseph Henry. who as the in
veutor of the practical electromagnet
made the invention of Prof Morse pos
sible and practical.
The Morse system. which i'm one form
or another has been i'm use from the
time it was originally devised down to
the present day. was invented about 1897
and in its earlier form consisted OF a
key. relay. and register the message
being recorded in dots and dashes

4 physician who made a speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia,
after years of study perfected the form

are made.
our experience with ReXall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the relief
of acute indigestion and chronic dyspep-
STA. Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inhamed membranes of
the stomach. They are rich i'm pepsin
one of the greatest digestive aids known
to medicine. The relief they AFFORD is
almost immediate, Their use with per-
sistency and regularity for a short time
brings about a cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
RexaH Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro-
mote nutrition. As evidence of our sin
cere faith i'm ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets,
we ask you to try them at our risk.

An INTELLIGENT jury Wanted.

A dictum of Judge Shelton of Macon,
Mo, deserves prominence and favorable
consideration, whats the difference If
they have read the newspapers" he said
the other day in response to the State
Attorneys objection to talesmen for the
jury They'll make all the better jury
men, To say that a man ought not to
serve because he has read the newspap per
accounts of the case is saying, in effect
that jury of intelligence is objected to-"
There would be less criticism of the
American jury system and more conf
reasonable methods of examining tales
men were followed The man who does
not read newspapers could hardly quail
fy for any task which requires the de-
termininative powers Of an intelligent
mind.-[Boston Herald.
