The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-05-03

A gentleman in Chicago thought of
having telephone put into his house, so
as to enable him to hold sweet converse
with his business partner, but his aged
mother protested against it earnestly.
Robert" she said, eff you bring one
of those dreadful things in here, I'll
never close my eyes for fear it may break
out and sweep us all into eternity, and
us not a bit the wiser" He tried to per-
suade her that it was an innocuous in
strument, but she said, "No, no; look at
the thousands and millions of poor Hin
docs it killed last fall" "Why," said
he, "that wasn't a telephone-that was
a typhoon,' but the old lady lowered
her glasses, and, looking at him over the
rims thereof, said he couldn't fool her
that she mightn't know much, perhaps,
but she did know that the typhoon was
the President of Japan. The gentleman
has given it up as a hopeless case.

LIFE At DEIDUOOD.

A correspondent from Deadwood por-
trays one feature of life in that metropo-
lis: "Lot jumpers are bold, bad men;
they jumped my lot. They also dodge
bullets and let the wrong man get shot
Night before last man jumped his
brother-in-law's lot and when he was
upbraided therefor smote his hnsman
hip and thigh. The injured party got
his navy, found the man, took good
aim, fred-and killed an innocent by
stander. About a dozen of us smart

Flash Times IN Jerusalem.

These are flush times for the building
trade at Jerusalem. A correspondent of
the London Times says that new blocks
meet the eye everywhere; along the Jaffa
road, and on both the north and west
sides of the city, extensive buildings are
in course of erection; and even within the
walls, near to the reputed tomb of David,
another large group of tenements is be-
ing built. These new buildings are de-
signed as houses for Jews of different
nations, and are erected by societies, to
be let or sold in tenements of two rooms
each. The poor are to be provided with
homes for given time rent free, and
those who are able are to be permitted
to purchase their habitations by period
ical payments on principles similar to
those of English building societies. I'm
til recent date the Jews in Jerusalem
had their quarter, as in many continental
cities; but they have now the utmost free
dom to purchase property wherever they
can get it, to build where they can OBJ
tain sites, within OF outside the city
walls, and to locate themselves wherever
they can find residences. This freedom
is causing great increase to the Jewish
population of the humber classes.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-05-03

The Campanile or tower, says a tray
eler, declines so much out of the per-
pendicular that it is known throughout
the world as the Leaning Tower OF Pisa.
It is circular, with an elevation of 100
feet to the rails of the upper gallery,
which overhangs the base fifteen
English feet. It is composed of eight
galleries, each surrounded by columns
of marble and granite, whence arches
spring which support the entab1ature of
each gallery; above 200 columns are
thus employed. The immense number
used in these remarkable buildings, and
which have evidently aided in the con-
struction of former edifices, leaves the
observer to wonder where they could
have been obtained. Stairs lead I'D to
the summit, whence the view of Pisa and
the surrounding country is very fine
On the highest gallery is placed bell,
rung on all occasions of public alarm for
safety. 1t is the same that tolled the
signal of the revolution which led to the
fate of Ogolino, immortalized by Dante.
Many conjectures upon the cause of the
leaning of this tower have been offered,
and there has been no want of absurdity
among them. It has been stated that it
was purposely built SO to display the
skill of the architect and still more
| absurd has been the idea that the eighth
story, the 81 lie of which, though consid-
erably overhanging the base, appears
slightly to deviate from parallel with
the lower stories, "has been added in
later times, as a balance to prevent the
whole edifce from falling" Records as
early as the building of this tower are
kept the date of it's commencement
liza, is mentioned, and the architects
known to be Guglielmo and Bernardo
Pisano, but no mention of the leaning
appears on the contrary, in one of the
early frescoes in the Campo Santo which
represented an event in the life of ST.
Ranieri, the tower was painted upright
but it cannot be doubted that the foJn-
dation of the tower has settled on one
side since it's completion, and the lean
ing was too gradual to mark its period
of commencement OF of rest, and there
fore unrecorded. Some have thought
that it began to lean upon dangerous
and falling structure, yetis since no one
could tell to what extent it would loan be-
fore the settlement would support it,
these are onjectures too ridiculous to
| entertain.

Feeding Children in africa.

The women are very fond of their
children. Childlessness is disgraceful to
women. The deformed are often put to
death or sold into slavery. Their re-
gard for their children's comfort ex-
presses itself in special ways. The
child is fed until it will eat no more,
then it is stuffed by peculiar manipu-
lation by which the food is forced down
the throat. Then it is rolled over and
over, and by a snap of the thumb and
forefnger it's stomach is sounded, when,
if it does not appear satisfactorily full in
the mothers estimation, the process of
stuffing, and swapping, and sounding is
repeated, until there is little room left
for doubt that there is no vacuum there
at least for nature to abhor, though none
be able to say how much the little Great
ures abhor this process and repletion.
After being well fed, the child is well
rubbed with palm oil, and laid in the
sun, unless from some cause the mother
may have to leave it when it is cross and
mischievous, VIXEN it may be buried in
the sand with the exception of its face
