Letters By Te-lepfli.
A SYSTEM BY WHICH, IT IS
SAID, TWO U VXD RED
WORDS ARE PRINTED A
MINUTE.
After laboring lor fifteen years on the
problem uf rapid Iclegruphy by means of
the typewriter, a Si. Louis inventor
olaiini to have solved it. Tbe system is
ssid to print tolegrapliio messages st (lie
rate of 2UU words i minute.
Tbe messago is dictated straight to the
typewriting operator. Ry a device at
tached to tho typewriter a paper ribbon,
about an inch wide, is perforated by
aeries of holes varying in position and
number according to the character rep
resented. The actual perforation of the
tape ia not done directly by the operator.
If the right letter ia alruck on the key
board the machine automatically doea
the rest. When die message is finished
the ribbon is fed into another machine.
In its passagr over a roller imall metallic
fingers ptess upon it, and as different
holes come under the fingers electrical
connection is made with the metal roller
beneath, which produces the necessary
letters.
This machine is in synchronism with
another machine at the other end of the
line, and whatever letters are produced
on ono machine, say in Now York, are
instantly reproduced on the other ma
chine, say in Washington. The inven
(ion can be applied to any standard type
writer In the case of large business
firms, newspaper correspondents or oth
ers using the telegraph eitensively,
punchers and libbcns would bo attached
to the typewriters in their offices, and
the messages would be delivered to the
telegraph offico on spools ready for in
stant disp itch. Ry the new method all
possibility of tapping or rubbing the
message is obviated. Tbe system is ten
times swifter than the Morse, and h
tho additional advantage of turning out
the message on page form leady fur de
livery. The cost of transmission is
brought very low, and the possibilities of
the system are suggested by the fact that
business men, instead of sending their
letters by mail, can have thorn sent by
wire at the same cost as special delivery.

In the great outlay which Oeorge
Vanderbilt is nuking at Riltmorc, in
North Carolina, the young millionaire
has entertained t more serious purpose
than is generally known. A great deal

oust, with its librsy, chapel, scores of
ed-rooms, and the army of servants

not every one knows that Mr. Vanderbilt
intends to make his estate a Meocs for all
those who are seriously interested in the
udy of forestry, sicentific farming and
horticulture, ile has land enough to
carry out any scheme of this sort, no
mstter how big it may be, u he oan go
forty miles in a direct line from bis own
door without passing the confines of his
omsin. He proposes, therefore, to cre
ate a neighborhood of bis own on this
vast property, which includes, among
other cultivated and uncultivated tracts,
one forest alone of moio than 100,000
acres. He will build a village containing
ouses, stores, and a picturesque inn, and
apartments will be tented to all properly
accredited students who desire to avail
themselves of the facilties offered there
for the study of the sciences which are
his hobby. The farm will be conducted
after the most approved scientific fashion
and foiestry, which is almost unknown in
America, and will become in a few years
science ol tbe greatest importance to ns,

practically to an extent never before at

New York Paper : A little child lay
ing in a room in a crowded tenement
house, By the tide of the poor bed sat
pale-faced woman. It was Sunday,
but the poor woman's fingers were busy
ith her needle. So long as there wu
ylight, seven days in tbe week, she
must sew constsntly on the garments
which later would be sold by greedy
merchants at sAsllcd "bargain sales."
Tho merchant would raako his goodly
profit, for the "bar$ins" were made
possible by the miserable wages paid tbe
woman and her tired sisters who stitched
other tenements.
The little figure on the bed stirred, and
thin little hand was stretched out to
ward the woman.
"Mamma !"
"What is it, darling?" eooed the wo
man, as bIic put aside her work for
moment and bent over her child.
"I am so hot, mamma; my head is
burning up; give me some water, mamma."
"Yea, darling."
The mother rose wearily and went out
into the hall to fill a pitcher at the sink
there. As she entered the room again
she looked out of the window into the
crowded street below. Many children
were clustered around tbe back end of an
ice-wagon. The woman's eyes brightened.
She went over to tbe bed, and, bending
over tbe tiny figure there; said ;
"Mamma will get you some ice, doar,
and that will make your throat cool,
Lie still, and I will eome right back."
Then, with the nickel which had cost
her two hours' labor clutched in her
band, she ran down the narrow stairs
and into th" street.
"Give me five cents' worth," she said
to the iceman.
He weighed a piece of ice and was
handing it to her, when policeman
suddenly appeared and laid his hand
upon the man's shoulder.
"I arrest you," said tbe policeman
It's after ten o'clock, and it's against
the law to sell ice on Suodsy at this
hour. You will hsve to come to the
police court with me; and yon must come
too," be added to the woman.
"My little girl is very sick; I mustn't
leave her," cried the poor woman, in
great distress.
Thst don't go," said the officer;
come along."
And she had to go. At the poli
court the iceman was held for violating
the Sunday law. The woman was qucs
lioned and told to eome back in the
morning as a witness. Then she was
allowed to go. She hurried back to tbe
toncment where she livid, and ran up
stairs to her room.
"I was kept away aod eouldn t get
back any sooner, darling," she said. "I
couldn't get tho ice, because"
Suddenly the words died on her lips,
She knelt by the bed and took a little
wasted hand in hers. Then raising her
face, she gated up with her dry eyes
that yet saw nothing aud whispered
"Thy will be done, 0 Godl Thou
knowest best !"
Her darling waa dead.
NO EXCUSE.
She (just kissed) "How dare you,
ir?" He "I hope you will pardon me
I didn't think."
She "Think? Of course you didn'
think. But your inability to think is no
excuse for your conduct. I suppose you
mean to tell me that if you had stopped
to think Tou would not have wanted to
kiss me." Indisnspolis Journal.
Wo's Narrow Escape.
THE ENUMERATION WAS NOT
COMPLETE ENOUGH TO
CONVICT HIM.
It is not strange that tbe southern col
ored man has vague aod mistaken notions
about property rights. He and his an
cestors were for sges enslaved and had no
ghta whatever, even to their own per
sons, Tlierolore all they could gam was
threugb treachery and deceit, and it ia
ly natural that these trails bred by
slavery reuiais as inherited characteristics
now that tho negro enjoys the blessings
of freedom. It may take several genera-1
tions before their habit of steeling will be
unlearned, for even when the colored man
becomes religious his easily besetting sin
will be most often found in his not re
jecting the property rights of others.
And thereby hangs a tale.
It was a Tennessee Methodist class
leader who had before a him six months'
probationer whom he was questioning
for admission to all the privileges of the
urch.
"Well, Sambo," ssid the class leader.
I hope you arc prepared to live a Chris
tian life in accordance with your profes
sion. Have you stolen any chickens
duriog the last six months?"
"No, sab! I done stole no ohioken."
"Have you stolen any turkeys or
pigs?"
Sambo looked giieved. "No, sab!"
"I am very glad to hear this good re
port, continued the elsss leader, "and I
trust you will continue to live an honest
Christian life."
After church Sambo hurried home
with bis wife, who bad overheard the
calechiiiog. When they were fairly out
of everybody's heariog, he drew long
brettb of relief and turned a self approv
ing glance to his better half. "Golly,"
be ssid in a half cautious whisper, "ef
he'd er said ducks I'd be'n a lost niggah,
luili!" Boston Budget.
While in Chicago, Mr, Charles
Kaliler, a pruailoct akoe merchant of
Des Moines, lows, had quite a serious
time of it. Ile took such a severe cold
that he could hardly talk er levigate,
but the prompt use of Chamberlain i
Cough Remedy cured him of his cold so
quickly that others st lb hotel who had
bad oolila followed his example and half
dusen persons ordered it from the nearest
drug store. They were profuse ia their
thsnks to Mr. Kahler for telling the
hiw to cure a bad cold so quickly.

BROTHER WHO FELL OUT
ABOUT A MA TRIMONIAL AR
RANGEMENT.
"The queerest feud I ever heard of,"
said M, C. Allen, tbe well-known sports-
man, "ia one that I encounted while
hunting in southern Humboldt county.
1 noticed our guide carried a repeating
rifle, t big revolver and a knife half
long as his leg. Ho proceeded with the
greatest caution, and appeared to be on
guard continually. 1 knew there were
no hostile Indians in that country, and
my curiosity was aroused. Finally I asked
him what the trouble was.
'Ob, I yoost look out for oonio fel-
I w,' he replied, in his Sweedish dialect.
"What's the trouble, anyway," I ir.-
q tired.
Ob, nuttin much. Maybe a pig
man mit a goon watch me pretty close,
too.'
" 'Who is he?'
"Oh1 he ia my brudder. Las' time I
fix him plenty, you bet. Ho ooma back
now, und maybe he fix me.
"Inquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt some
years ago, and our guide, who wu mar
ried, had left a pretty sister in-law i
Sweden. The brothers talked the mat
ter over, and finally agreed that tbe mar
ried ooe should send for the girl, and
when she reached this country he would
givo his old wife to his brother and take
bis sister-io Isw.
The girl arrived in due time, but the
waa so much prettier than the unmarried
brother had expected that he wu loath
to accept his brother's oast-off wife.
Finally, he married the girl, and then
refused to oi-mpromise the breach of eon
tract by paying what his brother had ex
pended i i getting her to this coast.
quarrel followed, and tbe guide pinked
his brother in the shoulder with a rill
ball and lauded him in the hospital fur
three mi nths. The olbei vowed vengeance
and they do little now bul watoh th

Let net your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid. Ht. John, liv. 1!7,
Religion is not so much a theory of
salvation, ua means of roaohiug theother
world in safely, as it is a constant souice
of comfort during the hardships and per
plexities of the present time.
Tho future we may regard as assured
nd leave it to take care of itself.
The dear Lord, who watches the spar
row's flight and fall, aod who has given
us some faint glimpses of what is to be,
ill keep the wonderful promise, "I go
to prepare a place for you," and we need
have no disturbing thoughts, but, on the
oontrary, perfect confidence.
Our obicf concern should be how to
make the best and the most of Ihis life,
for if we are in the right now we surely
cannot go wrong hereafter. God has
hidden ccrlsin benefits in the experiences
through which we are called to pass, and
it is important that as we go through tbe
experience we And way to gather the
benefits. I am convinced that no event
in our lives Is without its purpose, and
if our minds and hearts are properly de
veloped we shall not only discover what
that purpose is, but have cause for grati
tude and increased faith even amid sor
rows and tests and bereavements.
It should be our aim, therefore, to live
as peacefully as possibly that is to say,
we should reduce the friction of life to
its minimum, and nothing will serve this
end except a brainfelt and heartfelt ro
ligion. Peacefulncts depends on intorior
qualities more than environment and ex
ternal circumstance. It la possible to
have everything and at the same time to
practically have nothing. It is also pos
sible to travel a rugged and wearying
path with a light heart. It does not fol
low that you are well off because you are
rich, but you may, ifyou will, be well off
in spite of carkiog cares and strange un
certainties.
Everything depends ou your outlook
toward God and your iolook at yourself.
If you can see a dim something beyond
the Mara when you look forth, and some
thing worth your sttention when you ex
amine your own soul, you have the foun
dations on which to build a grand aod
glorious life. The riches disclosed by
these two vision are beyond computation.
In the consciousness that your destiny
outreoches the limits of time, that you
are capable of appreciating the apirit of
the Christ and approximating it in the
economy of life, as He desired you to do,
you become to a large extent independent
of what is called good or ill fortune. You
have prioelss comfort io your heart
which nothing can purchase and of
which no cunning theft can despoil you,
for the moat secure of all your possessions
is the ideal which you hope to attain.
While it might be rash to assert that you
can become wholly indifferent to circum
stances, it is safe to declare that if you
have a comforting faith you can be in
finitely happier u a poor man than you
could be with all tbe wealth of the world
at command if you had no faith at .all,
It is not the soft bed which give refresh
ing sleep, but quiet conscience and i
serene trust. We know this to our sor
row. It is what you have io your heart
not what you have in your pocket, that
make you enviable. A large bank ac.
count has a certain nisgic io it, but if you
hope to find therein the means of happi
neat you will be disappointed Tbe ne
cromancy of life hu its source in heart
beats.
You wrong yourself and waste both
time and energy in accumulation as the
sole aim of life. It ia iiupoible that
God can have so arranged the world that
money will buy.what th poor need as
the rich. The mt desirsb'e things
must be within reach of the multitude
aud I am sure that though you toil from
day to day and bend your shoulders to
the burden of hardship you ought to
have aod you oan have great comforts
aod great joys. True religion ti truly
democratic It favors no claw, but gives
u plentifully to th unlettered as to the
learned.
Th pioiura of aa ideal life whi
Christ offers us is wholly enticing and
alluring a Father who liitem to every
cry ot your heart, an Elder Broth
er who trod the path of anguish
tad sorrow, and who tells us how we may
i possess our touts ia peace; a heaven
which there will be no more partings; fur
ia it wide territory there it no graveyard
boat of angels with whom we may com
munieate and whose Influence is around
about us from dsy to day. Can any soul
uk for are? What is there else that
you can desire? With these faiths you
are armed and equipped for whatever ex
igeaey may ooour I do lot say that life
will Bot Mill be very wrieut business
taxing their resource at time to their
utmost; but I venture to assure ye that
you will have many comforts which oan
b earaod, but not bought, and a certain
quiet aest of aoul which ht aloo cat
joy who knows what the present mentis
and who sees the beckoning haud of the
future. To rest calmly on the watchful
care of providence even when the way is
dsrk and stormy, to feel in the inner
depths that the Hand which guides knows
ow to guide; to yield in submissive reng-
nation to whatever befalls, looking ever
to the mist covered fields of l'uradise us
the refuge from grief and toil -this is to
lead a very profitable and very comforta
ble lile, one that will be a daily lilcraing

every struggling soul in the world.
