boiling water, salted to taste, until
moderately thick, then allow to cook

The next time you are vainly en-

Isaac Pitman came- upon the scene
with bis more practicable method?
The system of shorthand used by
the ancients probably consisted of con -

shorthand known to Britain made its
appearance hi 1588, when Timothy
Bright brought his invention before
the public. This• system enjoyed eon-
sdetabie popularity, and It is sate that
some of Shakespeare's plays were
transcribed from it.
Many other methods of "secret writ-
ing," as shorthand was called in those
days, made their appearance within
the next few years, One, the work of
John Willis, was employed by Samuel
Pepys, the famous diarist After
Pepy's death his diary had to be tran-
scribed before it could be published.

was "about equal to the mastery of six
languages." It was Gurney, by the
way, who got shorthand ofRoially re-

shorthand writer to the Government.
A number of his descendants also held
the post, and Gurney's shorthand is
still used sometimes in Parllamont
It was 1n 1887 that Ioess Pitman

Not What They Said.
In a letter to the annual festival of.
the Pitman Fellowship recently, Mr,
Healy declared that he himself had
written shorthand for Stay years, and
during Sir Isaac Pitman's lifetime hal
maintained a correspondence with
him.
About 1877 he suggested to Sir Tease
that the "Teaeber," which in those
early clays was a rather crude schooI-
book, required reforming- Sir Isaac
