The Telephone.

Perkins, San Francisco broker, bought two of Professor Bells telephones, and made connections between his office and the parlor. He thought it would be nice thing to converse with his wife when busi- ness was slack, to inform her when he would go to dinner, and to learn how often his youngest son fell down the cellar stairs during the day. One morning he was con- versing by wire with his wife about new bonnet, when broker came in to ask about some stocks. He s'telephoned' to his wife that he was busy, and without sever ing connection with the instrument, turned to the broker and opened negotiations fo, the purchase of Julia, Lady Byron and oth CT stocks. Mrs. Perkins, at the other end of the line, liatened intently, and finally heard her husbands words, ''I'll take Julis at 6:30." Her suspicious were aroused there was a woman in the case; she burs into an animated soliloquy, which the faith ful telephone carried to the ears of her hus- band and his customer. "pll Julia him. h-villian-married fifteen years where's my rubbers ?-just wait till ge hold O him." These words together witl miscellaneous tokens of confusion and racl ct, denoted active preparations for a sorti upon the office. Perkins broke off hi stock negotiations and went home to ap. pease his wife. The instrument was subse quently removed. .szs.-
