Fash on as Regards the Little Toe.

A letter from Long Branch says:
The ladies this summer have taken
to wearing long finger nails cruelty
trimmed to point, under the delu-
sion that 1t lengthens the fingers.
To see an entire family-mother
and five daughters-sitting around
with cold white hatchet nails like
that Is to feel like experiencing
Iroqueis hospitality. Great atteN-
tion has been paid during the past
winter recess to developing the lit
tie toe on the female foot A rumor
had grown abroad that no female
could wink her little toe, and to
wink 1t was a surer sign OF aristo-
cratic lineage than to have a rain
bow instep. At this news the en-
tire sex went into committee on
the little toe. How to give him Tor
herr separate action, a pronounced
character, and, in short, to make
him rise up like piano finger and
drop on the keys-this was the alb
sorbing question. The small toe

women. Even the servant girls
from the hotels have to be sent to

[Louirville Courier-Journal.l


Mr.. w. o. Watts, a well-known
lawyer and real estate operator of
this city, assisted by DR.. Maxwell,
has invented an instrument for
transmitting sound that throws
the Bell and Hughes telephones in
the shade. Its simplicity of con-
struction is remarkable, There is
no need of electric connection for
signal purposes and no costly me-
chanical contrivance. The appa-
ratus consists of piecs of light
pine board with circular aperture
covered with thin sheepskin finely
dressed, to the centre of which
one end OF the wire is attached,
held in place by a steel button

tial box. That IS all. And vet so
well does the instrument work that
the whispers may be heard, though
the conversation take place at a
distance Of half a mile. A further
distance has not yet been tried. 1t
is not necessary that one place the
ear to the diaphragm in order to
hear the communication. An ex-
hibition was given yesterday to a
Courier-JottrhaL reporter with the
most surprising results. One end
of the wire was on Jefferson street,
between Fourth and Fifth, and the
other in the second story Of the
Court House. So distinct were the
transmissions that the sounds were
perfectly audible at o distance of
one hundred feet. All the vowel
sounds and consonants were plain

California and seriously meditating
the employment Of Chinese cheap
labor. The members of the meet
ing this afternoon we're all agreed
that the scheme was good one,
but differed In opinion as to the
price to be paid. Some OF them
thought forty cents day enough,
and none were willing to pay more
than sixty, so the meeting ad-
journed without definite action to
allow the Secretary to confer with
the agent regarding a reduction Of
terms. The plan to be pursued Is
the same as that of the great New
England shoe manufacturers.
Ers,on Wool Market.
Boston, August 10.-Wool tran
sactions show conslderab o falling

market is comparatively quiet, es-
pecially for clothing fleeces. 1t is
admitted that wool is low, but

any extent. The feeling for comb

taken and all of this grade will be
wanted. There is no marked change

come forward freely there has been
no active demand, and if stocks
were forced upon the market some
concession would have to be made.

to accomplish. 1t was found posi-
BILE for the operator to make him
self heard while speaking to the in
strument at distance of six feet.
A concert In room and speech
can be clearly brought over the
wire, as Mr.. Watts has often tried.
Not only are the sounds trans
mitted, 1t should be said, but they
are magnified. In order to signal
it is only necessary to call, and the
message Is delivered with such ef-
feet that sleeping person can be

Maxwell have applied for patent,
and they are ready to operate their
