For tome then hat been contro versy in Europe m to who ru the inventor of shorthand, bat, thanks to QiscoTery wliicn ni nude a few dy ego by M. Bene Havette. French scholar, definite answer can now be given to this question. A certain Terboee grammanan named Bamssy, mjb M. Havette, about the year 1720 invented method of writing by means of con ventional signs which was toon fonnd to be impracticable. Bnt after him came a literary man, If. de la Va lade, and it is he who most be re garded as the inventor of shorthand. since he was the first to clearly ex plain the art in his treatise, entitled "French Techygraphy, which was written about 1774. With the aid. of 400 characters. most ingeniously arranged, he con structed, says at. Havette, the first really practical method of short hand. Ha was much criticised, as all inventors are; still it remains true that he was the first to. adopt the approved phonographic system and to com tract fas) every sound of tne alphabet ssv ampler m character as possibles.

At 6 o'clock in the morning he takes his breakfast, consisting of some cold meat, coffee and fresh made bread and cake. Between 13 nd 1 o'clock he takes his dejeuner, two dishes of meat and some ordi nary pastry. Dinner is served at 6 o'clock sharp. All his meals are served in his library at his writing desk. Not even e tablecloth is spread. His personal valet on duty receives the dishes in an antecham ber on a large tray and nuts the tray before the emperor on his desk. Often the emperor takes a spoonful of soup between two signatures. He Is a very busy man. witn tne meal the menu for next day's dinner is sent vp and laid before the emperor. It contains two soups, patties, fish. two entrees, two roasts, two cieeaerta; pastry, cheese, fruit, etc, and the emperor with a blue pencil crosses off whatever he does not want The emperor does sot care much for wine. He prefers a glass bf beer. Wouldn't Take the Risk. At one of the early rehearsals of Tu Barry," as Mrs Leslie Carter, with her luxuriant red hair stream ing down her back, mounted the tumbrel for her ride to the guillo tine, she cast one glance at the ani mal that waa to draw it and then with a wave of her hand stopped the rehearsal and marched down to the footlighta. "Mr. Belasco." she called into the auditorium, "this horse won't do. Tonll have to get another." "But, Mrs. Carter," cried Belasco, "we tried eight of them, and this waa tiie only one that would stand quiet during the howling of the mob. Whafa the matter with him f" "Only one thing," exclaimed Mrs. Carter; "he's white, and this is alto- Sther too serious a scene to ran a risk of having it ruined by tome fool calling out, 'Oh, look at the redheaded girl and the white horse f "Ladies' Home Compan ion.

Children loved to hear him, and interested people used to write down tome of his versee. Appleteed was onlr a nickname which waa given him oa account oi a singular habit he had of planting seeds. Whenever he ate an apple, peach or pear he saved the seed ana while tramping across the country nsed to stop and plant them in places where he thought they would grow. Years afterward many a fam ily taking up land in the wild west ern country chose a spot where a flourishing orchard waa growing that had been planted by Johnny Appleseed. This is one of the songs that he nsed to sing: I tort to plant a HttJ mmA, Whoa fruit I aavar ata; Boom hungry atraasar It will taad Whan It baeoam a Ina I lor to ane a Uttla aons Wnoea worda attnne ttaa day And round mm ata tlx ehlldrta throne Wean I baste to play.

Qardene. -.-v: Most persons who attempt win dow gardens in boxee fail with them, therefore .the impression prevails that it ia not an easy phase of gar dening. : But the reason of failure Inine times out of tea it thst not enough water is given to supply the needs of the plants. A little is ap plied in the morning and more later in the day, and because the surface of the. soil looks 'moist the owner takes it for granted that it must be damp all through. An examination would convince her that a few inch es below the surface the toil is al most if not quite dust dry. The fact at evaporation takes place to rapidly from a box exposed to. the action of air and wind and sunshine, as moat window boxes are, but small amounts of water do but little to ward supplying the plants with the moisture needed at their roots. To keep it in proper condition at least a pailful of water should be applied every day, and in very hot weather even that may not be enough. Make it a rule to use to much water that some will run away through the cracks and crevices of the box. When this takes place, yon may be quite sure that all the soil in the box is saturated with it. And if you keep it saturated throughout the season you can grow good plants in any window box. This is the se cret of success, provided, of course, you hsve chosen plants adapted to window box culture. Do not make use of delicate varieties, but use geraniums, both flowering and fra grant leaved sorts; coleus, helio trope, fuchsia, lantanas, petunias, phlox nasturtiums, mignonette, sweet alynum and such vines as moneywort, tradescantia, vinca, othonna, lobelia and saxifraga. A morning glory at each end can be trained up and over the window and will provide you with a floral awning if you give it something to clamber over in the shape of a framework projecting from the top of the window.

Los Angeles is said to have expe rienced no earthquake shock since the oilfields in that city have been opened, and the opinion is gaining ground that the tremors which fre quently occurred before the wells in operation were bored were in some way associated with the accumulat ing of natural gas in the oil meas ures.
