Ingenious? Why she kept our
family in buttons out of the ham

not new to the Providence enthusi-
asts, but new to me. Atmy request
the lady at the other end laid slip
of paper over the mouthpiece and
spoke through that. Her voice was
apparently as distinct as before.
Then, in addition, / laid bit of
writing-paper over the mouthpiece
at our end, but the sound was not
perceptibly impeded. Then the
mouthpiece was pressed against a
panel of the door by DR.. Charming
and | went on the other side of the
door and spoke against the panel,
and the lady at the other end of
the wire heard it and repeated what
l said. Then | held the mouth
piece to my ear, and spoke, and the
lady at the other end of the wire
heard what | said distinctly. In
this case the voice must have been
conveyed by the inner bones of the
head.
How can this thing be carried ?
When the sensitiveness of this lit
tie convenience is greatly increased,
as it no doubt will be, may it be
possible so to tap a room with q
telephone as to make the lightest
whisper audible to inquisitive lis.
teners in another town or State
This is a terrible possibility. The
telephone is certainly the greatest
invention of this half century, and
the honor need not be shared with
any ingenious foreigner. 1t is ex
cluSively American, and the few
telephones that have been sen
across the sea are causing a lively
excitement among the scientists o
Europe. At this moment our Bos
ton friends are waiting with bateC
breath to hear human voic,
through the Atlantic cable.

Hurry.


Hurry is one of the defects Of
many workers of to-day. There is
a nervous mquietness or hus-
tered eagerness that units for the
best and truest labor. Hurry gen.
orally means worry. 1t is a sign Of
weakness and self-distrust. 1t is
usually the dawdler of one hour
who hurries in the next hour, in
order to make up for lost time.
A writer SAYS: CA man Of first
rate talents, one who always looks
so calm and tranquil that it makes
ones self feel cool on hot sum-
mer'S day to look at him, once told
me that he had never been in a
hurry but once, and that was for
an entire fortnight at the COM
mencement of his career. 1t nearly
killed him; he spoiled everything
he touched; he was always breath
less and harassed and miserable.
But it did him good for life. He
resolved nevep again to be in a
hurry, and never was-no, not
once, that he could remember, dur
ing twenty-five years. practice"
There are times when one must
work under some pressure-nay, a
good deal, butif one is sure of ones
plan and aim, there is an absence
of hurriedness. Begin in time,
work faithfully, and you can work
calmly and effectively without over,
working. "He that belieyeth doth
not make haste"

"Getting Along"

There are different ways of "get.
ting along" as progress is some
times called in this world. 1t does
not always mean making a large
sum of money, or being a great man
for people to look at with wonder.
Leaving off bad habit for a good
one is getting along; to be careful
and saving, instead of thoughtless
and extravagant, is getting along;
to be active and industrious instead
of idle and lazy, is getting along;
to work as diligently in the mas
ter's absence as in his presence, is
getting along; in short, when we
see any one properly attentive to
his duties, perseyering through DIFF
fculties to gain such knowledge as
will be of use to himself and others,
offering good example to bis ac-
quaintances, we may be sure he is
getting along in the world.

AUTUMNAL TINTS.
Why the Leaves Change-Tt is Not
Jack FrOsL's Work.


Jack FrOBL's Work.
Applston's Journal for Novembsrl
1t is very curious to observe the
regularity with which we are told
in the autumn that I" the first frost
will change the color of the leaves"
whereas the frost has nothing to do
with the change. 1t has, indeed,
sometimes happened in New Eng
land that the foliage has changed,
as if by magic, in single night, SO
that, upon looking out of the win
dow in the morning the eye was
surprised with the spectacle of the
world well nigh on fire; and since
this transformation took place in
connection with the mercury at a
low point, the whole affair is re-
ferred to the agency of Jack Frost.
But why not refer to this prestidig-
itator the glowing tints Of the ap-
pie, the rich crimson of the velvet
peach, and the purple of the plum?
Many years ago this error was
pointed out by an eminent botanist,
who showed that the gorgeous color
of the autumn leaf came in the
regular process of ripening; and,
though botany is generally studied
in schools, the old notion comes
back with the beavers every year,
showing that error, in common with
truth, especially when supported
by the vox populi, will "rise again"
however deservedly crushed to
earth.
Leaves find their parallel in man,
as already observed, and, like the
human species, they may ripen sud-
denly. IT, however, any one chooses
to make a mystery of the intensity
Of the autumnal colors, there should
be no great difficulty in explaining
the variety. Indeed, the apparent
superiority over the strength of
color in the foliage on the continent
Of Europe may be attributed chiefly
to this variety. In Great Britain
the climate is evidently unfavorable
to the production of bright forest
tones, but in parts of Germany the
1
brilliancy of certain kinds of leaves
is quite equal to that of the CORE
spending varieties in North Ameri-
ca. At the same time the greens of
Europe are quite different from
those of our own land, where, be,
ginning with burnt green in the
South, we pass northWard along the
Atlantic seaboard, reaching the true
green of the greatest of the hay
producing States, the State of
Maine, Every one has noticed the
unparalleled green of the "Emerald
Isle" which becomes pale sea-
green in Scotland, whitish green
in the south of England and France
only to change to an ashen-green
in Germany, and a sombre olive in
the Italian States.
But we were remarking upon the
variety Of the autumnal tints in
our own country. This is explained
by the fact that, while in Europe
there are only forty trees that attain
to a height of thirty feet, in North
America there are no less than one
hundredRand fortY-hence our for
ests flash like the plane-tree that
"the Persian adored with his man

New York Republic
There are few books that can
boast of as much immortality within
a space of four or five hundred
pages as is contained in this little
phrase, which has been placarded
on the bill-boards, and called into
the ears of the public for the past
two or three weeks. 1t is the one
sentence which takes the courage
completely out of youth, soaring its
conscience as with a red-hot iron,
and permitting despair to carry it
off bodily into the depths of crime.
"0h, they all do it why should
not you?" that is the question.
"That man there lies and cheats,
and will commit any crime which
the law does not make dangerous.
So is it with all Of them. There
is no use in your trying to be differ
ent from other people" That is
the way the temptation comes to
the young man thrown on the world
with little knowledge of its ways,
and perhaps shielded only by the
loose training of an over-fond mo-
ther. I" People are grossly immoral.
Even temperance advocates get
drunk in private church deacons
swindle savings banks; all you see
Of morality is but a surface show.
Beneath, there is concealed wick
edness. You will find you must
follow the multitude, " and the
youth with the pleasure of the world
held up before his glowing imagina-
ton, aud full Of bodily health,
plunges forthwith into what he be-
ieves to be "the world"
If the devil had concentrated all
his cunning during the centuries
which have elapsed since his eiec-
ton from Paradise, he could not
have produced a more powerful
argument with which to conquer
the soul Of man than this, "They
all do it."
But young man, listen. That
sentence is lie. AS base and foul
a lie as ever was conceived in the
mind of man or devil. They don't
call do it." There are thousands
upon thousands of good, pure men
and women in this world, bad as it
may seem, who are leading upright
lives. They believe in a deity, and
in the commands of virtue, and are
going along with the happiest re-
suits to themselves and their neigh
tors. There are men who think
that they are not put into this world
toygratiiy their own base appetites,
but to be true and noble and high
minded men. There are men who
would disdain to tell a lie. There
are men who would disdain to be
accessory to woman's fall. There
are men who would disdain to take
an advantage in trade, or to do any
other selfish or mean action. There
are men who try to be just, always,
and kindly both in words and feel
ings to all. There are men who
lead humble, unpretentious lives,
and who without making it known
to the world are daily doing vast
amount of good among their fellow
men.
And strange to say, these men
lead very happy lives and as rule
very successful lives. While the
unpriucipled man may enjoy tenn
porary success, sooner or later he
will suffer for his lack of honesty.

There are a thousand ways in which
virtue revenges herself upon him.
But in one way or another he gets
his deserts. You have youth,
blessed with health of mind and
body. There are plenty of crimi-
nails around you, it is trne. But
they are to be pitied, not initiated.
Never believe that what some do,
all do, and make in your own per-
son standing example of the fall
sity of "They all do it."
