SHORTHAND. Th* Quality That Appear* to Be Lack* tng In All Systems. The fatality of all systems of shorthand is that what seems easy to the eye <«f filial piety may be terribly difficult to the cold gaze of a stranger. Os the innumerable systems of shorthand that were the vogue a century ago how many survive today? asks a London writer. Fame and fortune still await the man or woman who can invent a system that will appeal to the reader as effectively as to the original writer. Perhaps if we were to rediscover the lost shorthand writing of the ancient Romans we might find ourselves on the road toward a solution of the problem. For the Romans were on affectionate terms tritb sh- -riband. Did not Suetonius. speaking of Caligula, express surprise taat an emperor of so many promising i arts should nevertheless be an ignoramus in shorthand, and did not Titus Vespasiauus pride himself on his facility in the use of sic-jigrapliy both for business and amusement? So fond was he of t ie sport that he delighted to gatLbr his amanuenses around him in order that they should tilt against ea<!j other in the stenographic field. It may be that but for the rediscovery of the art in England toward the end of the sixteenth century the curious Pepys would not have been moved to write his diary. , uOST —A bunch of papers enclosed in i an orange-colored case, with Adams Circuit Court printed Bn the face.

Conn., who, after almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he says was ' just the thing'' for him, as four bottles cured him completely.
