TUESDAY,

THE TELEGRAPH HABIT.

Cranks Wh: Use the Wires for Insignificant Messages.

‘* All sor’ « of cranks in the world,’’ said the girl in ‘he tetegraph office of a Broad- way hotel, ‘‘but I think the telegraph cranks are the queerest. Against the rules of the office to give away our’ business, you know, but a body can generalize. Do you know there are lots of men who haye the telegraph habit? It is:ike the cigarette habit or the drink habit. When it once fastens on & man it is seldom he ever breaks himself of it till he’s ‘broke’ him- self. That's a poor pun, but it’s true, If it wasn’t for the te‘egraph crank we wouldn’t begin to do the business we do, You'd be surprised to know the money some und; Sipeinete in telegraphing on any and Arr excuse.

*“All sorts of state secrets go over the wires, and important affairs are transact- ed by telegraph every day, besides the usual routine of deaths aml weddings, and business orders, and women starting on journeys notifying their friends to meet them at the station, But the regular tele- graph crank comes into the hotel and rushes into the office here and telegraphs half a dozen of his friends: ‘ Arrived safe- ly.’ Next time, half an hour later, he wires them to address mail to him here. Shortly after that he advises them that he forgot to notify them that he will leave New York on Monday, After a while he changes his mind and wires that he will stay till Tuesday. The next morning he worries because he has not heard from home, ani wires them to ask if anything is the matter. He gets a letter by noon and wires again to say that the letter came safely by the next mailand he will answer by the afternoon post. Mayke you think I exaggerate, but I don’t. Why, in a week a telegraph crank will often give me his entire pedigree and most of his family secrets.

‘*A lot of men do their love-making by telegraph, and a lot more do their joking with business friends in the same wav. Any amount of chaff goes over the wire at regular tariff rates. Some men have a fad for sending wedding congratulations @nd death condolences by telegraph to zreat people who probakly never heard of them. Egotism is usually at the bottom of most ot this particular kind of insanity. The man thinks it makes himn look im- portant to rush into a telegrawh office as soon as he strikes the town and dash off a message.

‘‘Then some men are nervous, and it sometimes acts as a sedative to let off steam on a telegraph blank. I hate a ‘Have ‘ou sent it? ‘How long will it take to get there?’ ‘How soon will I get an answer?’ And men of business and common sense, who ought to know better, ask those same questions over and over again.”’

‘“The way people write telegrams makes me smile. I know a millionaire who will work for five minutes to get what he has to say inten words fcr a quarter. But usually peopie write around Robin Hooa’s barn when they begin a telegram and use twice as many words as necessary. Women are the worst for that, but very few men or women seem to understand the art of brevity.

‘* Another funny thing is that telegrams, usual'y written ina hurry and sometimes under stress of g eat excitement, are lit- erary curtositic; in the line of #pelling. ‘Funeral!’ is one of the words thatis a stumbling-block to the mourner. ‘Until’ is another hoodoo word. You would be surprised at th» orthography of the aver- age A®ierican ina hurry. You learn lots of things in a telegraph oflice, but you have to keep your mouth shut. Oh! a body can generalize, of course!’’

the Most

Queer Wills, Those who hever cease to regret what they call the good old times may usefully reflect on the condition of society in days when a portion of a subject’s goods was obliged to be given t>2 the Crown or to some royal favorite, in order to preserve to the testator’s family the secure posses- sion of the remainder. Thus, Sir mdward Haward, 1512, bequeathed to the King his great whistle, the insignia of office as Admiral in the King’s fleet, ‘‘for the strengthening of this my last will.’’

A Presbyterian divine left a legacy te a church at St. Ives to provide six Bibles yearly, for which six men and six Women were to throw with dice every Whit Tues- day in thechurch, while the minister prayed that the toss might be directed tc the glory of God.

Lady Frances Wilson, daughter of Lord Aylesbury, was one day informed that a man who had recently died in a Pimlico lodging, had left her a valuable estate in Hants. Ineredulous, she went up to town and recognized the remains of a man who had frequently annoyed her by staring at herat the opera. The same man had also bequeathed £4,000 to the Speaker_of the House of Commons, and £1,000 to the Chancellor of the Kxcheq- uer, neither of whom had been aware of his existence.

John of Gaunt directed that his body should be kept above ground for forty days, and that on the day of burial ten great tapers should be burnt around his body in the name of the Ten Command- ments which he had so wickedly trans- gressed, and, ‘*besides these ten, seven in memory of the seven works of fcharity which I have neglected, and besides the seyen, five others for the five senses which I have negligently wasted, and over and abofe all the aforesaid tapers I will that there be three in honor of the Blessed Trinity.’’

Tbe Karl of Stafford married at Se. Germain, 16914, the eldest daughter of the Count de Grammont; in his will he thus expresses himself: ‘I leave to the very worst of women, who is guilty of every- thing that is bad, the daughter of M. Grammoni, a Frenchman, whom I have unfortunately married, forty-five brass half-pence with which to buy a pullet for supper, a greater sui than her father can often give her, he baing the worst o€ men and his wife the worst of women. Had I only known their characters I had never married their daughter nog made myself so unhappy.’’

An old proverb says that every man is either a fool or a physician at forty, Sir H. Halford happening one day to quote the saying to a circle of friends, Canning humorously inquired: ‘‘Sir Henry, mayn’t he be both?’’ At any rate, ex- perience teaches that lawyers who draw their own wills sometimes make great mistakes. Sir Samuel Romiily’s will was improperly worded, Chief Baron Thompson’s will became the subjeci of chancery proceedings, while the will of Bradley, the eminent conveyancer, was actually set aside by Lord Thurlow.

Many wills have been written in verse, and a will chalked upon a cornbin, and another inscribed by a sick man upon his pillow, have, it is said, been filed in the days of dectors’ Commons. Oage of the briefest wills—that of Kenneth Mac- auley 1845—is thus worded: ‘‘Ove thous- and pounds to my brother Tom; all the yest to my dearest wife absolutely.— Temple Bar.

“To My Life's End.’

Old age brings many aches and _ pains which must be looked after if health is to be maintained. This depends more than anything else on the kidneys. “I am 85 years old,” writes A. Duffin, farmer, Aults- ville, Ont., “and have had kidney trouble five years. My son advised Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver pills, and I obtained immediate relief. I hall use them to my life’s end.” You will find Chase’s Pills equally effect- ive for that lame back.

“ODDS AND ENDS.

“Poor fellow,” she said sympathetically “What's thr matter?” he asked. “The poor fellow was disappointed in love,” she replied. “Of course,” he returned, “jt never does come up to expectations.”

Counterfeits

A few years ago a great discovery was made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey npon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- Orcs are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sel] them by court.

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the sime price.

_ Thirt —To hook on the word “kidney” in nang cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourt —To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiy- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best. And ought not to be the subject for any trick.

So beware.

IT DOES THE BUSINESS,

If you want to know what Miller’s Emuision of Norwegian Cod Liver Qil will do for a consumptive patient ask one who has tried it. Ask anyone who has used it in lung troubles of any kind. What they say about Miller’s Emulsion shall be its recommendation. Jt is the finest pre- paration of its kind in the world, and is worth its weight in gold to a consumptive sufferer, whom it will raise from a bed of sickness to health and s rength of body

and mind, giving a new _ lease of life. Theusands testify to the value of Miller’s Emulsion. Miller’s Emulsion is the great verve

strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Scrofala and all Lung affections. In big bottles, 50c. and $1, at all drug stoves.

The word “and” occurs 35,543 times in the Old Testament and 10,684 times io the New Testament.

The W.ather tor Colds,

This is the time when colds are in’ the fashion—every body who is anybody has one, if not himself there’s one in the family. For no complaint under the sun are there more remedies than for a cold in the head, but of the thousands Chase’s Catarrh Cure is the best. “In twelve hours I was cured ofa bad cold in the head by Chase’s Cure,” writes Miss Dwyer, Alliston, Ont. 25c. of all druggists, with blower free. :

A HEAVY MORTCACE. |

How a prominent farmer quickly lifted it.

A mortgage has been described as an incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage, as asure signo ruin. The last is paracu- larly true, for if a mortgage is allowed to run it will eat up the farm. In this con- nection Mr. Henry Fowler, of Huron writes: “ From my boyhood scrofula had marked me for a victim and it seemed as if it had a life mortgage on my blood, I suffered fearfully with sores, and know- ing my condition I have remained a iagle man, Doctor after doctor prescribed tor me, and finally a Teronto - ocho told me bluntly that my complaint was a deep-seated, incurable, blood disease. Sarsaparilla I knew was a — blood medicine, and I sent for a bottle of the best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me Scott’s Sarsaparilla, and T have stuck to it. It has lifted my mortgage, for to-day 1 am free from thos: horrible sores, my eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not furry, and I have n» irritation. I look upon Scott's Sarsaparilla as a marvellous medicine when it will cure a life long disease in so short a time.”

A CONJUROR'S MISTAKE.

He Performed a Trick on the Queen of Madagascar to His Somow.

A French conjuror, doing a perform-

ance at the court of Madagascar, asked | fitty-ties: 5 | Maesty Queen are is

the Queen through an interpreter if she would taste a glass of wine. On her refusal the conjuror, with simulated anger, emptied the glass over her, and the contents dropped in the shape of a rose into Her Majesty's lap, The court functionaries were so indignant at his proceeding that they jumped up from their seats, insisted upon the Queen’s leaving the apartment, and charged the performer with high treason. The unfortunate man had to be protected by the native troops from the fury of the populace, and was compelled to leave the capital before daybreak.— The Temps.

American Tourists Like London.

According tothe London correspond- ent of the Paris Figaro. American sum- mer tourists are evincing a preference and predilection for London. Th number of Americans who went last summer to Europe, where they left so Siany thousand dollars, is estimated at from 150,000 to 200,000. So many had never been seen in the old worldina year when there was no exposition or anything else to attract them except the pleasure of seeing Europe. It would be interesting, says the Figaro’s correspondent to know whether France and Paris have had their fair share of the millions of American dollars. For- merly Paris was the promised land and the destination of any good American ; but for the last twenty years Bondon has taken much pains to attract and amuse Brother Jonathan. He finds there hotels built especially for him, and theaters which, naturally, do not require the knowledge of a foreign language. It has been noticed, there- fore, that many Americans have so- journed in London much longer than formerly, that they have made short visits to Paris, and that some of them have not gone there at all. There was a time when the American who visited England without also going to Paris was considered a phenomenon; but that time has passed, and, observes the Figaro, ‘this is very regrettable.” It is asserted that each American in Europe spent on an average last season 5,000 francs, or $1,000. Admitting that 150,000 of them spend only $500, that

would make 3874,0:0,000 frances. Has Paris gotten its due share of it? There

are people who are in doubt in that re- gard.

Flower Girls in Real Life.

The ‘‘flower girls” of Italy are worse than the peddlers.

The “girl” is usually a plump and picturesque creature, aged anywhere from 25 to 40, and possessed of ‘‘nerve” even beyond her years. She flourishes best in Venice and Naples, but there is no certainty of escaping her anywhere.

Suppose the stranger seats himself at a table in St. Mark’s square, Venice, tolisten to the evening concert. No sooner has he seated himself than the flower girl advances on him, preceded by the witchery of a beaming smile.

She will place a flower in his )utton- hole.

He may prevent her doing so by rising and offering physical resistance, but otherwise he must accept the flower. After the flower has been placed there he may remove it and offer it to her, but she will laugh coyly and refuse totake it back. He may throw it on the ground, but that would be rude.

Suppose that he accepts the inevit- able and decides to leave the flower in his buttonhole. He puts his hand into his pocket and says to the flower girl, ‘How much?”
