COKVEBSISG BY TELEGRAPH. An Operator Saya He Does Not Hear the Click of the Instrument It Sound la lilke a Voice "Do I hear the click of my instrument?" said a telegraph operator when asked -what was the sensation of receiving a message and writing it ont at the same time, "Well, I snppose I do, else I could not take the message, but the sound does not make a noticeable impression on my ear. In fact, I am never conscious of the fact that there is a click. I do not associate the actual dot or dash with a letter. To me it is a letter itself. So when I am 'receiving' it is precisely the same as if some one was talking to me. Most of the messages come along so rapidly, you know, that they make a running conversation. It is not precisely as if you were talking to me here, but rather as if you sat in one corner of a room and spoke to me. This is so time that when a question is asked an operator fancies that he heairs the rising of the voice at the end of the sentence. This prevents one from being overcome by the terrible monotony of the thing, for I often get interested in the messages. When I am rise living a graphic newspaper account of any incident I feel as if some one was telling it to me. Perhaps it is more ral to me than to one who reads it afterward. " Sometimes Jwhen my wire is not at work I lie back in my chair and doze off. iVhen another operator begins to call me the effect is the same as if he spate my name in my ear, repeating it ever and over again. I do not associate the call with anything but the idea it represents. That is why the little pleasantries which two operators exchange do not seem so unsympathetic to us as people think they are. I have had men laugh at me when I told them thai I had just greeted, a fellow-operator after 'getting him.' The thing struck them as being ludicrous. He heard nothing but the metallic snap. It often happens that you lose track of a man for a long time Some day he bobs up again at the other end of a wire. Ton don't discover who it is until the message is over the wire, perhaps. Then you say, 'Hullo, where have you been; how are you?' just about as you would i2 you met him in the street. "Then you get to know some man whom jou have never seen. You talk with hiin, say 'hullo' and 'good-by and get well acquainted with him in time. You wonder what he looks like, whether he is tall or short, and such things. Some day he changes, or you change, for operators are always moving around, you meet him and you are friends on the spot. Of course, when you kne w a man personally and talk with him, the conversation is all the more natural. Eut you mustn't get the idea that operators say much over

the wires at one time. They don't often have the time. "When work is pressing we jump from one message to another without wasting much time. "Can I recognize certain men by their touch on the key? No, I Can't say that I can. But there are some men who are like lightning, and I usually find out pretty soon whether or not the fast man of an office is on the other end. Then there are men who are terribly slow, so that I feel as if I wae listening to a drawling voice. I can lell when I have taken two words whether the sender is a good or a poor operator."

Chinese Pirates. A story of mutiny, wherein British pluck a: id muscle worked wonders, is told by .the author of aThe Land of the Dragon, n who," with a friend, hired a house-at, in China, and went "up country," shooting game, here and there, and exploring the coast. Having reached the end of a creek, where their own bofit stuck fast, they chanced to notice, tibout three miles out at sea, an uninhabited island, which they decided to visit, and thereupon engaged some junkmen to take them there for eight dollars, half to be paid on reaching the island and the other half on their return There were five boatmen, big, sturdy fellows, who, all the way to the island, were continually talking, in a quiet undertone, and occasionally casting furtive glances at as. My companion said to me, "Those fellows mean to play us a trick, so keep your weather eye open, and stand by for squalls.9 We said nothing, however, but on reaching the island, paid our four dollars as agreed upon, and stepped ashore. When we went back to the boat, the men seemed in no hurry to return. They remained lying on the deck, and showed no inclination to move. We went to the head man, picked him up, stood him' on his feet and ordered him to "shove off.0 Up jumped tig others of the erew, and then the leader, in a mixture of Hindostani, Malay and Pidgin-English Chinese, informed us that it was their intention not to return to the mainland till we had paid them forty dollars instead of the eight agreed upon. "Mutiny and piracy!" cried my companion. "I won't pay another cent! Well make them put us ashore for nothing." For more than half an hour we tried to bring them to reason, but in vain. At length, the leader announced : "Well give you a little more time to thinjtbout it, and if you don't comply, well put you both on the island, and return without you. "Now," said I to my friend, "we have got to fight. We must pitch all five overboard, take charge of the boat and sail her ourselves. The water is not more than five feet deep, and theyH easily reach the island.9 As we advanced, each of the men drew from under his coat an ugly looking piece of wood, about eighteen inches long. ( There is no 6ccasion to tell the c.e tails of that fight; the pieces of wood fell heavily, and so did our fists. It aa a tougher job than we had expected, but finally the last man went over the side. As soon as the deck was clear, we hoisted sail, and leaving the five men on the island, . entreating us to return, made th 3 best of our way to a good landing-place in a small bay, not three

miles from the village where we had engaged our piratical craft. We hurried over the hills to our own boat as soon as possible, and it was well that we lost no time, for our five pirates had signalled to their acquaintances on shore, who sent them a boat, and had not our own craft been a good sailer, we should not only have been pursued but overtaken. A Tale of a Tourist. "Have you anything to give a poor man, mum?" The voice was that of a wan, haggard, aud dilapidated mendicant. Hat in hand, with bowed head and humble mien he stood in the presence of the young housewife. The wind blew through his scanty, unkempt hair, aud his toes looked mournfully out through the embrasures in his shoes in a weird, grewsome way that would have drawn a sigh of smpathy from a wax figure of Jesse J" ames or melted the heart of a bridge-tender. "Have you walked far this morning ? she asked. "Yes, mum," replied the jaded pilgrim. "I have hoofed it for about ten or 'leven mile," "Are you hungry?" "Powerful gaunt in the stomach, like." The tenderhearted young woman meditated a few moments. "I have nothing but a soupbone and some cold tripe to offer you," she said, "but you are welcome to them." The tourist shook his head sadly. " 'Bliged to you, mum," he responded in a hollow voice, "but I'm a vegetarian. Hain't got no ham and eggs, I reckon ?w "I'm sorry to say I have not. But stay!" she exclaimed as the forlorn applicant for charity turned to go. "Wouldn't you like" something in the wav of clothing, mv poor man?" "Yes'in," he replied, gratefully. "If you've got any old clothes about the house I'd be glad to get 'em." With a light step and a heart full of happiness at the prospect of being able to do good to a suffering fellow creature she left him and returned presently with a small bundle.

"Here is a garment I heard my husband say he should not wear again," said the young wife. "It is perfectly clean and just as good as new." "May I ask what it is, mum?" "It is a flannel shirt." "Been washed?" "O, certainlv three or four times." The battered tramp jammed his hat on his head and went slowly down the steps. "Madam," he said, with a hopeless, just-as-I expected intonation in his rich, southwestern Missouri voice, "that is the 264th flannel shirt that's been stuck at me since I left East St. Louis, and Pve got a pocket full of 'em And as the hot sun came out from behind a cloud and beamed down pitilessly on the dusty highway the weary wanderer took from his bundle a jagged hunk of tobacco, looked at it in a hesitating and uncertain way, put it in his pocket, and started across the street in the direction of a house from which there seemed to emanate, as it were, a suggestion of fried pork. Chicago Tribune Honesty Rewarded An oyster and clam dealer on Vesey street set out a basket of fresh clams in front of his store the other day and tacked up a neat little card announcing the price. A boottdack sauntered by, swinging his box and brushes, and gently transferred one of the luscious bivalves into his pocket. A newsboy standing near observed the act, and in a second he had imitated the bootblack's action with gratifying success. The boys both grinned, crossed over to the other side of the street, and innocently strolled up the block. In another moment they again passed the basket, and again rewarded themselves with another clam. Six times did the gamins pass the basket, and not once did they miss their prize. A policeman lounged on the opposite side of the street in full view of the piratical expeditions across the way. Finally one of the boys, probably having come to the conclusion that honesty was the best policy, turned his clams over to his partner and disappeared in a neighboring stall. He reappeared in a few minutes with a small sign, reading "Take One," which he deftly substituted for the price list. He then went in and innoc'ently informed the pro

prietor that some wicked bdy had j

changed his sign, and that he would soon be out a basket of clams. When the proprietor saw the sign and the diminished number of clams, he thanked the boy warmly, and told him to take a pocketful for himself. New York World.

Sara Shocked the Editor. Colonel Joseph Medill says that Sara Bernhardt is the most singular woman he ever had any dealing with. Having been introduced to the eminent actress by Mr. Abbey in Chicago, several years ago, the Colonel thought it would be no more than polite to call upon her when he visited Paris. So one evening last month he dropped around at the Hotel Bivoli and sent up his card to the fair Sara. It was about 7:30 o'clock; Sara had no engagement lat the theater that evening, and a better season for a call of propriety could hardly have been chosen. But presently Sara's maid came tripping down to the waiting room with this message: "Madame eez very sorry, but madame eez engage at ze present ; will monsieur be bo kind to come again at haff-pass two in ze morning?" "It was the most extraordinary request I ever heard of," says Colonel Medill. "I put on my hat and walked off in high dudgeon. Yet, after all, I am glad it was I, and not my son Eobert." Chicago News. A widower was at the altar for the fourth time. During the marriage service the sound of sobbing came from the rear of the family group, and an astonished guest inquired: "Who is the woman in tears? Some old flame?" "That's the ccot," answered one of the children. "She always cries when papa is married. A man who drives away customers the cabman.

Jay Cooke's Rehabilitated Fortune Jay Cooke is once again a prominent figure in Third street. Mr. Cooke still wears the venerable white hat thab made him a familiar figure here twenty years ago. It is currently believed that he made a million dollars out of the Horn silver mine since his failure in 1873, and that ho has kept the money and added to it. Mr. Cooke in his youth was an ill-paid clerk in a Third street banking-house. I have heard wonderful tales about his economies then, especially in the purchasing of dinners. His remarkable quickness at figures attracted the attention of E. W. Clark, who gave him an important position. A natural ability for finance and persevering work, combined with unbounded faith in himself, finally secured for Mr. Cooke a start in a small way as a banker. Associating with himself yilliam G. Moorhead, the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. inside of fifteen years after the beginning became known all over the world. When the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. failed, in 1873, the partners were worth nearly three millions apiece. Philadelphia News. Copy of Original. Van Wert. Ohio, July 11, 1880. Rheumatic Bvrup Co..

Case, of this city, has two fox terrier dogs, and one of them not only objects to wearing a muzzle himself, but dislikes to see one worn by his companion. Mr. Case had leather muzzles made for the dogs, and fastened them on securely. As soon as their master was out of sight the brighter of the two found a projecting nail, and by its use twisted the muzzle off his nose, and then proceeded to relieve his less gifted brother. He did this by tearing the leather straps in pieces with his teeth. He then dug a hole in the ground and was about to bury the remnants of both muzzles when somebody discovered what he was doing and put a stop to it. New Bedford Standard. Breathing the Germs of Disease, To inhale the geniis of disease with their daily breath is the fate of denizens of malariascourged localities everywhere. The endemic iitmospherle poison may, however, be reft, of its venom and rendered innoxious by a defensive use of Hob tetter's Stomach Bitters. This preeminently eafe and effective remedy and safeguard not only eradicates the disease when developed, bat enables the system to safely brave Its assaults. Every physical function is confirmed in or restored to regularity, the circulation quickened if sluggish, and a bilious habit, 'which of itself begets a pronenessto both intermittent and remittent types of malarial disease, where extrinsic atmospheric causes exist, powerfully counteracted by this inimitable fortifying and defensive agent, which hag, moreover, none of the disagreeable characteristics of a drantic cathartic or an alkaloid.

Rheum at i sin, ne u r a lri a, gout, kidney and bladder troubles, constipation and indigestion yield to it. Cost of the British Warships. The total original cost of the British warships of all sorts at the last Spithead review, paraded for the inspection of the German Emperor, was 16,853,765. The number of ships present was seventy-three; of torpedo boats thirtyeight. The wreight of metal contained

in the heavy guns was 8,609 tons. The tonnage was approximately 360,000 tons. Five hundred and sixty-nine heavy guns, irrespective of quick firers ana machine guns, composed the armament.

The First of All Name, The early history of the Hebrew name of the first man is very curious. There are two names for the first man in Genesis "The Adam," and "Ish," also translated "man." Eve, or Haveh, was called "Ishah," translated "woman," because she was taken out of "Ish." Ish seems to be the origin of the Aryan first person singular Ich and L Adam signifies, in the primitive tongues, "the created," or "the made." The white race were the Adhamu, as distinguished from the Turanians, or Blackheads as they are called in the inscriptions. After the deluge the Babylonians began to call themselves Adhamu, until in later timns tbey took the name of Adamatu, which came to mean the redskins, to distinguish themselves from the white race. Both "Adam" and "Ish" were probably used by the early descendants of Adam as their general name for themselves, as both appear as the first personal pronoun in Indo-Germanio or Aryan languages.
