Telephones of the homemade kind are
becoming numerous and popular. Some do
net know how the $. rig is made, and
therefore it should be explained. Two
tin cylinders are provided. Across one end
of each is stretched disc of skin such as is
used on banjo, and which can be pro-
cured at music store. Each disc is per-
forated in the center. A silk cord of the
desired length connects the cylinders, be-
ing passed through each of the drums and
fastened inside. The cylinders are fasten-
ed to the wall, or any article of furniture
by passing strips of leather or tape, not to
be allowed TO be touched, around them and
tackled fast. These cords must not touch
any object except its own support. These
are simple loops of the same cord. In pas
sing string through frame of the tram
som or window, the support should be placed
that it cannot touch the sides Of the hole.
In some cases q hole is broken through the
window, but this is a slovenly plan. Some
ingenuity Is necessary in managing the sup
ports OF the stretched cord, but it 10 not a
difficult matter. A g telephone made In
this manner ought TO give easy oommuni-
cations between points 500 feet distant,
though the nearer the better. In speaking
it is not best TO put the mouth exactly at
the opening Of the cylinder, but coaple OF
inches from IL.

A storv OF Lincoln.

The death of Mr.. Denton, of Delaware
county, Iowa, recalls story which he used
to tell. In the early days of the Illinois
Central railway the line was not fenced, and
one day two COWS belonging to Metho-
dist clergyman were killed. Being sued
for damages, the company resolved to make
a test case of it. The President of the road
directed Mr.. Denton to take $500 in gold,
and 60 to Springfield and retain Abraham
Lincoln, whom he knew well, for the COM
pany. Mr.. Lincoln replied to his request,
81 am sorry you didn't come yesterday,
Nick, for / have been retained for the
preacher and his friends.'' Denton ex-
planned fully the Importance of the case to
the company, and then, pulling two buck
skin bags filled with gold out of his pocket
he put them down on the desk before the
lawyer, with startling chink. saying,
Mr.. Lincoln, the President of the compa-
ny authorizes me to hand you this retainer
of $500 to take our case.'' MIR. Lincoln
jumped to his feet, flushed with anger.
mick Denton,n he said, 81 have given
my promise 10 that preacher and his friends
and the Illinois Central hasn't money
enough to buy me away from his side.
don't know that I shall ever get dollar
from him-but I'll do my best to make your
company pay for those cows Denton
said that he never felt SO mean and small
in his life as he did at that moment. And
in 1850, though Democrat, he used TO say
during the Presidential campaign, that
Lincoln was the noblest man in America.

SKETCH OF THE New PoNTIFF.-Pope
Leo XIII is native of Carpenetto, in the
diocese of Arragui, and was born in 1910,
being consequently 68 years of age. He
was created Cardinal on December 10, 1858.
He was Archbishop of Perugia, and Cham
berlain of the late Pope, though an enemy
of Antonelli. He was to have been created
Cardinal at the request OF Q Protestant,
King Leopold Of Belgium, to whom he
had been sent as Nuncio Dy Gregory XVI,
but on the death of the latter, Plus TX,
yielding to the vindictiyeness Of Antonelli,
allowed seven years to elapse before he
gave him the hat. OF ahigh intellect, of .
well tried and energetic nature, His Emf
nence has made not only an excellent Bis
hop, but has realized the type OF perfect
Cardinal. As an administrator he man
aged TO clear Benevento of smuggling and
brigandage, as well as the underhand in
trigues of the party of the nobility. In re-
gard to personal appearance the new Pope
is tall and thin His features have an aris-
tocratie stamp, and are characterized by
great fsssesse. The voice strikes one disa-
greeably as first, it il SO nasal in It's tones !:
but one soon gets accustomed 70 this pecnl-
iarity, owing TO it's fnllness and resonance.
Although simple in manners, it IN he of all
the Cardinals, who carries himself with
pontifical majesty, resembling in this Plus
TX, who in his early days passed for incon-
parable.

Gently. AL her affections were centered in
in cat, which for six years had been hel
constant companion, and to which she clung
almost to the minute of her death.
She had spent % years of her life in the
Asylum rearing cats, taking kitten before
1t was old enough TO feed itself and begin
ming to feed it with spoon. She would
not allow her pet to take morsel of food
which she did not give it with spoon, and
the result was that the cats raised learned
TO eat only from her hands. After one cat
died her attendants would at once provide
her with another kitten. She dotted ON her
pet animal as though it was child, and
called it Louise, Marie, Lizzie, Victoria,
and nearly every name that is used for
girls.
Her last pet was very large white cat,
which at her death weighed 26 pounds.
She stuffed its mouth with food whether it
would eat or not, and kept it exceedingly
fat. After she died the cat was as helpless
as a motherless infant, and some of the
other patients adopted it, and continued to
feed it as Mme. Douglass had done.-N. 7.
