The widow hod three small children dojKtnd ent upon hor, so she had to submit. Next she hired n young lady who sewed beautifully, but was a new-comer in tho place, to sew for hor for one-half of what an esuihlinhed dressmaker would havo charged. Thus in tho course of the yoar she saved n great deal without any self sac rifice, nor any more labor than usual. It was ground out of those who were newly.

The xystem is coiiductoil by means of underground wires. An instrument resembling it tywwrlter, Is used to imnch tolratraphlc aharacters in a ier tsw similar to that used in stock tickers; the tie Is fed to another in strument which, serving as tho trans mlttor iMiises to ls sent over tho wire the symbols punched hv the other machine, and reproduces tnem upon a tMt at the other end of the line. One hundred and twonty thousand words er hour wero sent, but this ex trnonliiinry speed Is not up to the rec ord, slncu In Heiitemher and October I8II8, Lieiitenaut-Colonel Hquire. o the signal Mirvicu, and Professor Allwrt C.

April IS, a steamer arrived In Now York from llatoum, a seaport of Trans eatiunsia, lliifwlu, on the Illnck Hini. During her voyage of seven weeks she was struck by a dust storm from Hlinly, which seems to have been caused by an netlve volcano. It was of the color ami llnensHs of red pepper, lay thick on the decks and buried everything. After leaving tho (ifhraltar the vessel was attacked by gales from all points of thecomKiss. Liter she w as assailed by eleelrlc storms, snow, hail, and to cap the climax thirteen enormous water sMiiitMeome touring along from a south westerly direction "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do hiiNluosH In great waters: these so the works of tho Lord, and lliH wonders hi the deep."

BETTER MANAGEMENT AT THE PENITENTIARY.

There are many men in the prison who might be. not only punished, but reformed during their stay there. A kind word, a little good reading may do more for one under such circumstances, than any amount of preaching and lit erature would under ordinary condi tions. THAT BICYCLE TAX. It Is rumored around that twenty five cents of each dollar and a quarter collected as bicycle tax goes to tho of Hear who collects it. Now the question comes ii) if three or four other men appointed to construct the bicycle mth should take out twenty-live cents each ns commis sion, what would he left to build tho path with? It looks us If theNith would be built up "Salt Creek." Now the Jefferson (Hsiple "smell a cat" ami object to paying bicycle tax. We wonder if the hundreds of dollars already paid It will be on Interest a year or so before being used. Why can't wo do as well as Ilentou county and at ouco Isfgin the work on the jtaths before tho money nil goes In fees and commis-dons? NATIONAL NOTES.

Delaware. Pennsylvania. Oregon. California and several other states either by deadlocks, hold-uje. or by the corrupt character of the men elected, are striking n blow at that method. The people are beginning to say it could not Ikj worse and might Ihj better, if senators were elected by the people. Especially if the women could help vote. Apiin it seems that necossity is the mother of invention. The war depart ment is about to order the soldiers in the Hold to assume a wrist cartridge belt as a jsirt of their equipment in ac tive service. , , The idea of tlio wrist-lx-lt originated from the practice of American soldiers of carrying four or live cartridges in the left hand, or hold between the teeth. Three wrist-belts jwr soldier will le issued. I'ach lsjlt has a cajweity of twonty cartridges. One of them will Isj slipped over the loft hand at the order to commence firing. Soldiers were transported from Col umbus, O. UiOgden, a distance of 2,128 miles for ffl.OO kit capita. There were six hundred of the troojM. Surely, the railroad comjsuileH made no prolft on this.
