Many people In every walk of llfo

to have a craze for abbreviation On
almost every page of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak of
abbreviation
Two abbreviations that have been

hotel register they would be very puz

stand that the O menus Ohio nnd us

the abbreviations and they save a lot

nufna Chonteii Bad Writing-
George Tlcknor the historian of
Spanish literature was once called as
a witness in n case in which Rqfus
Choate was engaged and being seated
by tho eminent counselor wns attract
ed by the notes which he had made of
the evidence After eying them with
interest he remarked that the writing
reminded him of two autograph letters
In his possession one of Manuel the
Great of Portugal dated 1512 and the
other of Gonsalvo de Cordova the
great captain written a few years
earlier Any one who has glanced
over these remarkable specimens of
chlrogrnphy will marvel that it was
possible to make out a syllable of such
Illegible scrawls
These letters Mr Tlcknor assured
Mr Choate were written 850 years
ago and they strongly resemble your
notes of the present trial
Choate instantly replied Remark
able men no doubt they seem to have
been much In advance of their time

the Inst nntive of Smniitrn has been kill

killed has never been known but the war
has been n very serious drain on the
manhood of Holland and many of her
best soldiers were killed between the
years lHTt and 187 when the struggle
wns very bitter
Since 1001 when the Persians surren

At the beginning of the nineteenth
century Algiers liuully passed Into the
hands of France Finin that time till the
present the French nation has always
kept nn army corps of not less than fil
f00 French troops garrisoned there to
fight the Arabs who infest the hinterland
nnd raid thu French possessions at least
once a year
Chief among these are the Toitaregs
who fight with one half of their faces
masked nnd Tight always to the death oi

To keep his soldiers in good fettle the
sultan every year gives at least tlireo
months fighting to them by picking u

the numerous semibrigand strongholds
No one knows when the first blood
feud began in Corsica or when the lirst
brigand set up shop Nor can any fine
tell when the last will put up bis shut

Morris began designing wall papers
and decorations by accident because
he couldnt llnd any lit to buy Nor
did he uso la designing except ut first
