A Homemade Telephone.

Prof. Barrett, in recent lecture on
the telephone, gives a recipe for max
ing cheap one: Take a wooden tooth
powder box and make a hole about the
size of a half-crown in the lid and the
bottom. Take disc of timed iron,
such as can be had from preserved
meat tin, and place it on the outside of
the bottom of the box, and fix the cover
on the outside of it. Then take a
small bar magnet, place on one end a
small cotton or silk reel, and round the
reel wind some iron wire, leaving the
ends loose. Fix one end of the magnet
as near as possible without touching
the disc, and then one part of the tele-
phone is complete. A similar arrange
ment is needed for the other end. The
two are connected by the wire, and with
this Prof. Barrett says he has been able
to converse at distance of about 100
yards. Mature.

English "Weather. Boots"

The English weather-boot'' is new
style of footwear which consists of
waterproof kid 1t reaches to the gar
ter and has an elastic strap on both
sides, and within the strap a delicate
band of kid, which prevents water from
penetrating the boot at the side, for the
band is lined with waterproof material
also. The soles of this boot are quar-
ter of an inch in thickness, being of
cork in the center and of leather above
and below the cork. The English Ca
madam ice-boots," for ladies, have
small steel points set in the sole, but it
requires practice to walk with them.
At the top of the weather-boot is a
loop, and this, it appears, to avert the
necessity for the fast-disappearing gar
ter,is attached to the stocking supporter,
A similar boot, but of india-rubber, was
inaugurated some years ago, and was a
failure for the reason that, being so
long, it drew the feet and made the
knees ache, but the weather-boot' of
English make is not open to this objec-
ton, though as hint to ladies who
may send for them | would say that the
main thing is to have the heel fit close

The Fox and the Grow.

A CROW, having secured a piece OF
cheese, flew with its prize to lofty
tree, and was preparing to devour it,
when crafty fox, hating at the foot OF
the tree, began to cast about how to OBJ
tain it.
GLOW tasteful" he cried, in we'll
feigned ecstasy, :" is your dress; it can
not surely be that your musical educa-
ton has been neglected VIII you not
oblige-"
81 have a horrid cold," replied the
crow, land never sing without my
music, but since you press me- At
the same time | should add that have
read Esop, and have been there be-
FORE"
So saying, she deposited the cheese in
a safe place on the limb of the tree,
and favored him with song.
THANK you," exclaimed the fox, and
trotted away, with the remark that
Welsh rabbits never agreed with him,
and were far inferior in quality to the
animated variety.
Moral.-The foregoing fable is sup
ported by whole battery of morals.
We are taught O that it pays to take
the papers; (2) that imitation is not al
ways the sincerest fattery; (3) that a
stalled rabbit with contentment is bet
ter than no bread; and az that the aim
