CIPHER MESSAGES.
BulM That Will Help an AmaUur to
Rm( the RiddUs. "
Writing in cipher,' where letters or
figures or characters, grotesque or oth
erwise, are used to form the words,
while it may look formidable to the
ummuatea is really not difficult to
eolvo if one will tackle it with crtre
and putleuce. ;
The proper way to set about reading
an unknown cipher Is to And the letter
or figure that occurs ofteuest This is
sure to be "e," as "e" is by far the com
niouesi letter la the language. The
second commonest Is "t," and If you
And u three letter or three flcuro batch
often of which- the last is "e" and the
first "t" the middle letter or figure is
sure to staud for "h." Any letter or
figure standing alone must, on clear
reasoning, be "I" or "o" or "a."
The second commonest three letter
word in a message of any length, is
sure to be "and," which gives you three
more letters for addition to the alpha
bet. v , .v..'. .
Remembering that the commonest
doubles are "ee," "oo" and "ff ' (in the
order given) and the commonest two
letter words are "he," "by," "or," "as,"
"at" and "an" (in the order given),
person should be able to solve almost
any cipher message.
FORCED HIM TO SING.
An OccaiioriWhan Aball Mad Up His
Mind In a Hurry. ...
It Is probable that on no occasion bas
any oilier musician bad to practice his
art under more disagreeable circum
stances than that in which Abel!, a
singer of the seventeenth century, once
found himself.
It appears that while Abell was ram
bling through Poland he was sent for
to go to court, and after evading the
request by excuses for a short time he
was commanded to attend. At the
palace Abell was placed in a chair In
the center of a spacious ball and sud
denly drawn up to a great height The
king, with his attendants, appeared in
a gallery opposite him as he sat thun
derstruck in his suspended chair. At
the same instant several bears enter
ed the ball with their keepers.
As the ' singer gazed In horror at
these ferocious , creatures the king
calmly Inquired whether he preferred
to slug or be let down among v the
bears. The singer's choice, of course,
was quickly made, nud be afterward
declared that In spite .of bis terror he
never sang better iu bis life, although
lie admitted he might have introduced
few more "shakes" than usual In
his songs. New York Press.
