they inquired what use the Oid-lu1kluR

their use, but the ladies did not seem 30

\ readily. They seemed quite puzzled.
Mr.. Long repeated his explanation, but
tho laihesf manifested more surprise
than ever. In order 10 make himself
unierstood, Mr.. Long then gave prac-
teal demonstration uf the working Of
the bowls. by pulling aP the stopper
which checks the inflow OF the beautiful
metal from the pipe connecting with
the snpply tank. The bowl Immediately

Telephone News.

The following contributions to the
great question Of the telephone appear in
the columns of the London Truth Two
mills Of Lord Belper, near Derby, are
distant from each other about three
miles. The Midland railroad passes
between them, and they are connected
by a telephone wire, which is carried
four feet above the network of the
telegraph wires alongside the railroad.
The highest OF the telegraph wires was
operated on by a Morse instrument.
An operator accustomed to the Morse
system read of, in one Of the mills, the
message passing along the telegraph
wire. It would appear also that any
conductor will serve for the telephone,
instead of wire. The other day a gentle
man applied the telephone apparatus to
his park paliDgs. He talked around the
park. ~ Af

The Right Way 70 Boil Eggs.

There is an objection 10 the common
way OF boiling eggs which people do not
understand. II is this the white, up-
der three minutes rapid cooking, be-
comes tough and indigestible, while the
yolk is left soft. When properly cooked,
the eggs are done evenly through, like
any other food. This result may be
obtained by putting the egg into a dish
with o cover, az n tin pail, and then
pouring upon them boiling water, two
quarts or more to q dozen eggs, and
cover and set away from the stove for
fifteen minutes. The heat Of the water
cooks the eggs slowly, evenly andislIfh-
oiently, and % a ieIly-like consistency,
leaving the center or yolk harder than
the white, and the egg tastes as mpeh
richer and nicer MS fresh egg, and No
peason will want to- eat them boiled
after having tried this method once.

Don Piatt, Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati EHgtitrcr, tells this
story A good story rs told Mt the ex-
pense OF two Western members Of Con-
gress, who, having secured orders for
bouquets from S. S. Cox, chairman oi

seryatories Of the botanical gardens.
They came upon a tree having red ber-
ries thereon, and, like Adam and Eve,
we're tempted 10 eat. They tasted II,
and found the fruit pleasant 10 the
mouth, and went on helping themselves
till one of tha men employed IN the
place gave them the law, which pro
hibited plucking Of fruits or flowers.
The gentlemen, feeling that they were
privileged. paid no attention TO the re-
monstrance until the man, somewhat ir-
ritated, said:
Well gentlemen, If you will eat you
had better select some other fruit, for
that is deadly poison"
I This was lie trumped mp for the &C.
casion but son should havs seen the
startled faces of the Legislative raiders.
They fled in terror from the place, with

one of them cried
