SOME SHORTHAND BLUNDERS
Many Mistakes Due To Use of Wrong Vowels
A volume could bo filled with amusing stories
of shorthand mlstnkes, the greater number of
them due to mistaken vowels. For instance,
"This day Is big with fute" was transcribed
"This day Is big with fat," while "Do not
indulge In npltf camo out "Do not indulga
In spit," and "A house of many gables" wa,s
transcribed 'nto "A house of many gabbles."
The use of the wrong vowel may havo tho
most amusing result, us in the phrnsc. ".Man
know thyself," which was once converted In
the report of a sermon Into "Jlan, gnaw thy
self." To mlsplnco a. vowel Is In shorthand the
easiest thing In the world. T. A. Reed, the
well-known reporter, tells of n pupil who by
this moans turned "mighty acts" Into "mighty
cats." and nnother leport of a sermon was
spoiled by the advice, "Return n blow with nn
n.," Instead of "a kiss."
The reporting stylo, in which tho vowels nro
omitted altogether for tho sako of rapidity, is
lesponslblo for tho famous American story of
the shorthand clerk who took down u note
of his wife's Instruction to "bo sure to re.
member to bring homo some cnstlle soap." and,
as n result, returned homo with a tin of oxtail
soup: L,omion strand Jlngazlne.
In a Hqle
Unclo Joe t'nniion said at a Danville po
litical picnic last month:
"Finance- such as that, gentlemen, will land
tho country In tho hole wherein Mra. Dill
.Smith found her&elf.
"Jlrs. Dill Smith snent with iwr hinhnmi n
two-week vacation at Atlantic City. It waa
an extravagant vacation. It cleaned them
out
"As they rode lmik home on the train, sun
burned and fatigued, their ocki'tbookn empty
and tho next payday two weeks off, .Mrs.
Smith sighed and said:
"'Well, anyhow, Dill, we'll bo all right ns
soon na we get home. The morning wo start
ed off I hid a ten-dollar bin under tho pink
plush nlbum In tho parlor.'
" 'Yes.' said Bill, grimly, 'yen. I know you
did. I found It.'" Washington Star,
A Ilroken Pledge
There used to be in Albany an eccentric
character mimed Pete, who pledged himself
to be neither bhaveii nor shorn until .Stephen
A. Douglas camo to the Presidency. Ho did
not keep Ills resolution, however One duy
John Slorgun. a Negro, who had ai-ted as bar
ber for many Govermirs and who desiubod
himself nn a klgn over his shop door In Uremia
street as a "tonsorial operator and capillary
abrldger," had a slip pasted on tho mirror in
front of his "operating chulr" on which ho
hud written. "Douglas not elected, hut Pete's
hair Is off." Ench.inge.
Amounts to the Sjme Thing
Two young CleveluuderB met on the, street.
One of them said:
"Well, I understand that our old friend
urlggs has gone and married a, wife "'
"It's not true I understand nothing of
the sort "
"What? Well, what did you hear about if"
"I understand that a widow haB gone nnd
married our friend Urlggs." Cleveland Plain

FEW CANARIES COMING HERE
Blockade of German Ports Keeps Birds In
Fatherland
Those who may havo been under the Im
pression that canary birds imported Into this

fer ti severe disillusionment nt this time, es

At present no cnnailes can be bought In tho
bird storci because of tho blockade of German
ports. Oldlnarlly, these birds sell for J33 to ?50

merits, ns indicated by his looks nnd his voice.
The female canary Is a poor singer' and sells
for half tho pi Ice of tho male. The birds sing
best between the nges of n half-year and six
years. Frequently they live to bo 12 years old.
The bird ilraleis also suffer from lack of
cages for other birds. The canaries aie shipped
In Individual wooden cages made In Germany
and aie sent In lots of 100 to 500. These birds
have to be fed dally on canary seed and hard
boiled eggs ns well ns given fresh wnter. A
skilled attendant has to nccompany them on
the voyage nnd frequently a young peasant
earns his tiaveling expense? to this country In
that manner.
QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION
Slight Decrease Shown In World's Aggregate
Last Year
The quicksilver production of the world dur
ing 1'JIH is estimated at 4171 metric tons, against
42B2 tons In 1312 and 40S3 tons in l'Jll. The
countries of production Inst year were: United
States, fiSS tons; Austrla-Hungaiy, S55 tons; It
aly, OSS tons; Spain, 1490 tons; Jlexlco and
others, 150 tons. These figures were gnlhered
by tho United States Geological Survey.
Quicksilver is used mainly In tho manufacture
of fulminate for explosive caps, of drugs, of
electric appliances and scientific nppaintus, nnd
in tho recovery of precious metuls, especially
gold, by amalgamation. A new use In Scotland
Is the floating of lights of lighthouses upon a
body of quicksilver. A use in England, in tho
United States and possibly elsowhere, Is tho
coating of ships" bottoms with a paint contain
ing quicksilver to prevent organic growth. Mer
curic oxide (red oxldo of mercury) is the ac
tive poison in nntl-foullns paint successfully
used on ships' bottoms. Tho metal appears to
bo little employed In .silvering mirrors, as ni
trate of silver 13 now chiefly used for the pur
pose. Increasing use of quicksilver Is probnbly
to be expected In the manufacture. of electrical
appliances and of fulminates, and tossibly of
paints for piotectivo coatings on motals.
Tho demand for quicksilver for amalgamating
gold nnd silver has greatly decreased, us Is well
known, with tho decreased supply of free mill
ing ores nnd tho increased application of cyanl
ilutlon to gold nnd silver ores. Industrial chem
istry nnd Invontlvo genius are to bo looked to
for incrcahlng tho demand.

FLASHES FROM "STARS"
A. K. MucColiln, who plays the genial and
delightful ytnge driver, Jeremiah Cobb, in
Knto Douglas Wlggln and Clmrlotto Thomp
son's comedy, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Knrm,"
nt the Wnlnut Street Theatre, Is one of tha
olrlest living actors. Mr. MacCollIn was one
of the orgnnlitrs of the Wheatley Dramatic
Association In Philadelphia In 1S63, which en
rolled such names ns John McCullough, E. H.
Henrn nnd 13. XV. Farrell. He wns a member
of tho famous Ford Company, producers of
standard operas, nnd originated tho part of
Ralph Rakestraw, tln leading tenor lole in
Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, "Pinafore," In this
country. Aftei several years with this organ
ization he Joined D'Oylny Carte at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre In Xcw York for tho produc
tion of the "Pirates of Penzance," and played
the principal comedy role. When "Tho Mikado"
was produced, the part of Koko was assigned
to the late Roland Reed, who. opened, but after
two performances was compelled to give It up
on account of Illness. Mr. MacCollIn succeeded
him, and wns accredited as the originator of
this role. For livo years he was a member of
tho Stetson Company, playing a repertolro of
the light operns. In tho last few years Mr.
MacCollIn has been Identified with the Savage,
Frohman and Shubert force.", playing princi
pally dramatic comedy roles. He Is now suc
ceeding the late Archie Boyd In the part of
Jeremiah Cobb In "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm," a most congenial role.
Helen Ware, star of "Tho Revolt," the cur
rent attraction at the Adelphi Theatre, says
she once owned a pet Egyptian scarab, an in
sect resembling the cricket. "Above all things
else," said Miss Ware, "the scarab is noted for
Its longevity, often living as long as 300 years.
My scarab died a jenr ago In Its lnfnncy it
wns only V) years old. I had it for only three
years of Its life. It was the most unique pet
I ever had, and I got terribly attached to It.
It lived In a little cnge, and I fed it on sugar
water. Once I gae It sugar diluted in cham
pagne, and you should have seen that beetle
It got quite tipsy. Its antics were terribly fun
ny. Sometimes I wore the scarab attached to
a thin gold chain. I called it 'Amenotoph.' The
Egyptians used to worship the scarab, you
know. I adored my pet, nnd wept at Its demise.
I'd thought of having a little tombstone made
over a tiny urn; but I lost the dead pet in trav
eling. On the tombstone I would have had,
'Hero lies Amenoteph, who died in his Infancy
ho was only a hundred.' "
"Alas," sighed Miss Ware, "if only the youth
of plays were no less brief!"
Jn Lawrencu Eyre's play, "The Things That
Count." presented last season at William A.
Brady's New York Playhouse, one of the per
sonal fluouesseb wa.s made by Violet de BIccarl,
a child of 12. George T. Brennan, managing di
rector of "Pilate's Daughter," to open at the
Chestnut Street Opera House next week, was
one of the thousands who admired the work
of the child. When it came time for organizing
tho cat.t of "Pilate's Daughter" Mr. Brennan
sought Miss de Hiccarl, nnd, fortunately, was
able to plaee her under contract for the pro
duction. She will play the leading role in the
first act of tho piny. Violet Is proud of tho fact
that ehe has the famous prima donna, MarcelU
Somhrlch, as godmother and that Caruso,
Scotti nnd Andreas Dippei nro among her
friends. Violet's father Is a boyhood friend of
Caiuso and a fellow countryman. Like other
talented children of tho stage, Jllss de BIccarl
has made a success In po&lng In motion pic
tures and bhe lias also a number of staco suc
cesses to her credit. She played In "The Top of
tha Morning" and "Hop o' Mj Thumb." Her
ambition Is to become n great singer.
