CABLE LAOS GO TR CIP%E Sad as linitmense Antolini or 1BusineSS ids Dane' Ander the Various Codes: The raids of the transatlantic cable lines whereby they collect tolls not only upon the address and signature of a .message, 'but charge doable for all words.containing more then ten letters, have evolved a most elabo- rate system of cipher codes for government, commercial and private use. Probably four- fifths of the business ,handled by the cable companies is in cipher, absolutely unintel- ligible to the operators. Code making is a recognized profession, and special ciphers for any purpose can be readily procured. Firms having regular correspondents abroad customarily omit signing their cablegrams, saving at least one word upon each message. Tile minimum length of a cablegram is three words, two of which form the address. To the uninitiated it would seem impossible to convey any extended idea in a single word, but this is a great mistake. For example, if the worthy son of Lord Knowswho should get stranded here with only a beastly three bob in his clothes, there would be yet hope for him, -for he would have the wherewithal -to pay for the following message : " Knows - who London Busted," which, in plain Eng- lish, would mean : " To Lord Knowswho, London. Please remit by wire as much as yon can possibly spare, and wire me when and how mach is thus sent." Itis an everyday occurrence for the lead- ing mercantile and brokerage firms of this city to transmit.and receive money by cable the modes operandi being that exchange is bought theusual way with currency at any - of the banking -hooses doing foreign business but instead of the ordinary draft being issued the bankers cable their correspond- ents. to place an equivalent sum to the credit of the person. or firm named. - This system has been the means of bolstering up many a firm in the hour of need. It ispos- sible to take advantage of the rules of -the cable companies regarding prepayment of messages to transfer small amounts of money by wire. Cablegrams will not be sent col- lect, neither may the sender guarantee the payment of tolls upon -a reply to a message; but he can prepay such reply to the extent of thirty words by depositing cash to that amount at the originating office and stating in his cablegram : " Reply, ten words pre- paid," or whatever number of words he may mention within the limit. When the mes- sage is delivered to the person addressed the cable company at the same -time -hands him in cash the amount of prepayment. The party getting the money can use it to send reply wanted -or otherwise, as he sees fit. Considering the fact that very few cable- grams are intelligible to the operators the mistakes made are surprisingly few, and such as do occur are quite as often due to the poor penmanship of the writer as to carelessness upon the part of cable -employes.. The codes are arranged as far as possible to preclude mistakes. The rate per word from Toronto to South Africa is -$2.49; to Cape Colony and Transvaal, $2.43; Mozambique, $2.41, and Zanzibar, $2.1b. To New South Wales via one route the rate is $1.45 per word, and via another line, $i 37 To Burmah 127 is charged and to "i .rner3 the in :Chili. Theatre* -of .the old adage.:.'c What's f one mans meat- is another mawsr poison," 3s most exclusively proved ini the varied testimony. Which from time to time creeps up fr-oin alt -quarters of the earth as to the adaptability of the human race to the most centred -laity and inconsistent dietetic con- ditions. Flesh -eating people think that vegetarians are fools, and the latter regard the former, very often as little better than criminals. The discussion on this subject is perennial, and still people live and thrive on both diets. Another waif of. evidence an the vegetarian- side has found its way from Chili, where the 9000 or 10,- 000 workmen in the copper mines live upon wheaten bread haricots, dried ,figs and buckwheat cakes. Meat eating - is excep- tional, and is looked upon as a very inferior and unwise proceeding. The miners are. strong, anremia is unknown amongthem, and itis stated that theywould be among the finest specimens of humanity were it not that they give themselves up to alcohol- ic excesses three or four times a week, and consequently are subject to fevers and liver diseases. The experiment of giving them meat in place of -a purelyvegetable diet has been . tried with the result that they did less work many of them were considerably debilitated, and from choice went backto their grains, fruit and black brew d. - - The Beauty Standard- - The standard of female loveliness varies greatly in different countries and with in- dividual tastes.: Some prefer the plump and buxom type -some admire the slender and sylph -like, and some the tall and queen- ly Maiden. ueen-ly:maiden.But among call people of the Caucasian race, one point of beauty is always admired—a pure, clear and spotless complexion —whether the female be of the blonde, brunette, or hazel -eyed type.

It is guaranteed to accomplish all that is- claimed for it, or money refunded.

George Vanderbilt, who has bought the larger part of a county down in North Carolina with the intention- of founding a sort of baronial estate, finds himself couch hi the position of an Irish landlord. The natives of the district, who are Baptists, moonshiners and free-born Americans of - the most aggressive type, imagine that he is trying to establish a monarchy or some other form of deapotismeand all the Win- chesters and six shooters in the mountains are being puts in order to give him a warm reception if he ventures into that locality. The,details of the manufacture of cigar- ettes are kept to a greater or a less degree a secret by the manufacturers, each of whom has his own peculiar combination of to:,ac- cos. None of'the brands on the market are composed of one kind only. - The recipe is. not divulged outside of the firm. , But this is not all. The original mixture is merely a basis for artificial flavoring. To begin with, various essential oils are added.- The list of these includes rose, rose gera• nium, vanilla bean, Tonka bean and lico- rice' root. - These ingredients are added after the tobacco has been -chopped into shreds in readiness to be rolled into cigar- ettes.

Railroad Move—Companies to be Fined for Trains Arriving Late. The French Government has started on a skew line with regard to railway affairs, and has begun to collect statistics as to the num- ber of trains that are late with a- view to imposing a fine, which. it is said will be t my cents per minute for all trains that are" -0 minutes late on a 30 -mile, trip or fifteen minutes behind on a longer journey. ?fence trains are not at best on a leisurely scale. No tickets to passengers with bag- gage op sold after fifteen minutes before a traintarts, and none at all after five min- utes b3€ore. The average train weight is light, she roadbed in good condition, heavy grade¢ are rare, over half of - France snow never "Senses appreciable delayand but rare- ly in any part of France, and a high verage speed is not maintained on any Frenal►- lines. They have really no excuse for bepng late, though their unpunctuality has led to the reform now proposed. In England, a few years ago, Mr. Bannerman, an energetic member of Parliament -who .deserves the thanks of all passengers, . be- gan ars agitation in regard to late trains which showed that on most London lines about, one train in five wasatleast from •five so ten minutes late. Only one line made e better -return, the Great Eastern, which -m some months had only 9 per cent. of its trains late. The lines varied as to details- One ofthe worst, - London, Chat- ham, end Dover, had only half -its trains on bele. But ori the average t o -thirds of thea trains were on time, aed of the . remainder about half were less than five minutes late and the other -half showed morehen this detention. Not more than one t ain.fn a hundred was over twenty mina don Iate on most lines. As these Lon- don 1i+ however,. ran . from 1,000 too , 3,000 rains a day, this meant that from ten to thirty trains a day were hall hour late. A very large share of the ate trains reaching London was due to the leek of 'terminal facilities. Stations built to haiedl'e 2,000 or 3,000, and waiting pass - who' had reached the station yard on Fere often -kept waiting ten or fifteen ,s before they could enter the ter-' . The -same difficulty is sometimes int, though -not to such a degree, in F,o. In England a great improvement sd the mere publication of the record thins.

This is the opinion of a man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows better, than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge : "I know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat, , or Hoarseness that had done such ef- fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee's Sore Throat, German Syrup. Last winter a lady called Hoarseness, at my store, who was suffering from a very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that a few doses would give re- lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. 1 told her to take a bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory I would make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future aa a few doses had given her relief." ® AGENTS WANTED, ED, make and feFcalat� .� sell nr .c Seal gn • new; sets t every kou¢xkcepe:.
