Long Telephone Lines.

We learn that it is the intention of the
Bell Telephone Company Of this city to
secure telephone connections in short
time with both Buffalo and Syracuse,
The wires of the new American Union
Telegraph Company which are now be-
inc put up along the line Of the Erie
Canal are to be used for this purpose.
1t will then be possible to talk from
Buffalo to Syracuse, or vice versa, a dis
tance of about $50 miles. The longest
telephone line in the State to-day is the
line between HemlOck Lake and this
city, but when such line as that pro-
posed between Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse is established, that will be the
longest probably in the country. Some
seem to express doubts Of the successful
working of such long line, but we are
informed that a test is to be made in a
few days between here and New York
City, the wires Of the new telegraph
company to be used. We see no reason
why long line like this should not
work as well as a short line. The line
between this city and Henlock Lake
works admirably since it was fitted up
with the improved telephones and trans
mitters, and if line works well dis
tance of 30 miles, why should it not
work just as well a distance Of several
hundred miles? 1t may be, perhaps,
that the induction Of electricity at the
latter distance will not be so great as to
interfere, but the proposed test will soon
settle the matter. At any rate, there is
little question but that Buffalo, Roches-
ter, and Syracuse will soon be united by
telenhOne.-ROchcSter Union.

dealers who pander to this wretched
taste make no secret Of their prepara-

it viii give some idea Of the widespread
demand which exists for these poiSons
when tell you that during the year 1910
there were manufactured and sold III
this country alone over l., 100000 gallons
of Il certain well known patent wash for
the face and neck. While on this sub
iect must not omit to mention Il prep
aration, which | will not name, for the
removal Of freckIes As it certainly does
remove freckles, its sale has enormously
increased in the last two years. A few
months ago | analyzed a specimen, and
was Mortified to find that it contained %
per cent. of corrosive sublimate. At
present it has a large sale, and it is re-
tailed at q nigh price"
care there any cosmetics which I'M
prove the skin and are harmlesSP"
"None, except fresh air and pure
water. Carbonate of magnesia is quite
extensively used, and is not, perhaps,
positively injurious; but it makes the
skin look tough and old, and in time
stops the circulation of the blood in
small vessels of the face. Whiting has
the same effect. The better and more
expensive rougeS made from pure cochl-
neal, or cochineal carmine, are not in
furious when used in moderation and
washed off every night, but the cheap
kinds all contain aniline, and are very
poisonous. Bay-rum contains no ingre-
dent which is chemically injurious, but
even that is liable, if used too often, to
dry up the little oil globules and make
the skin dry and harsh"
Il suppose the use of the poisonous
cosmetics is almost entirely confined to
wOmen?n
"Well, not exclusively. fancy many
would be rather aStoniShed if they knew
the number of young men who partici-
pate in this evil with their sisters and
mothers. And another thing, too, of
which YOU may not be aware is, that
there are hundreds of young men, mostly
of the upper and upper-middle classes,
who wear corsets. The habit is injurious
to young woman, but it is thousand
fold more 50 to young man, for phys
ical reasons which have not time to
enter upon. | did not suspect this habit
until about a year ago, but since that
time | have discovered that its existence
is by no means unfrequent."

Dog Law.

In Flansburg against Basin, our read
ers will find Il good current topic 1or
dog-days. The substance OF the declS-
ion is that in an action to recover 1or Il
doc bite it is not necessary to prove thlI
the doc had a customary inclination to
bite, but it is sufficient if he has eylnced
it on rare occasions to the owner 5
knowledge. The appellant was riding
home at night from debate at the
school-house on horseback, when the de-
fendant's' dogs came out from the own
er's house and one of them bit the ap-
pellant's horse, which thereupOn threw
him and broke his leo. From the opm-
ion we have difficulty in making out
whether it was the horse, the dog, OF
the man whose leo was broken, but we
are inclined to suppose it was the man.
The report does not show whether the
dogs had been at the "debate " and
there become excited. The Court says
that the rights Of dogs care better pro-
tected now than in more barbarouSS
times;n that "dog wantOnly kicked
might lawfully bite III sel1-delelse, puI
not when he had had several months for
his passions to cool; and that ga dog,
like men, may have idiosyncrasies," as,
for example, disposition to attack
horses with or without riders, whereas
he might "have refrained, from pI,T-
Dental motives, when there was an ally
of the horse or horses, who could defend
them from the fortified position OF two
horse wagon, or a buggy" The Court
concludes "that it IS not necessary to
show that the keeper of the dog has al
lowed him to bite very large number
of his neighbors or their animals, before
he commences to be liable, but that there
is enough to show that there is, with his
knowledge, a probability that he may
do so. .n-Albany L0oU Journal.

A Doctor With Too Many Patients.

Prof VirchOw, the celebrated Berlin
physiologist, went last spring to Asia
Minor for the sake of rest and recrea-
ton, and passed a large part of his va
cation at Hissarhk, on the invitation of
DR.. Schliemann. On his arrival at His
sarlik he found several of the working
men engaged at the excavations suffer-
inc from an obstinate fever, and, al
though it is long since he gave up prac-
tice, he took them under treatment. He
cured them, and Immediately his repu-
tation as magician was established
there; and as there were many sick peo-
pie everywhere in Asia Minor, and no.
where doctor or an apothecary, the
fame of the great magician spread with
great rapidity from village to village.
Every morning when Virchow left the
little wooden shanty in which he slept
he found first a few persons, then a
crowd, and at last mass of people en-
camped in front of the door, and wait
ing patiently, but with eager glances,
for his appearance. To send them
away was impossible, for they needed
his help sOrely, and they had often come
from very long distances, on foot, on
horseback, on camels, Or carried on lit
terS and in baskets. But to help them
involved an almost complete sacrifice
of rest and recreation, for they were
many, and the consultation generally
demanded the employment Of two or
three interpreters. The sacrifice was
made, however, and it has an odd re-
suit For the purpose of making some
geological observations, Virchow had u
hole dugin the bed of dried-up river
in the neighborhood, and people noticed
that, until the hole filled up with water,
the magician every day climbed down
there and made some curious researches
by means of a lighted candle. As soon
as Nirchow had left HiSsarliS people as
Sembled around the hole, lined its sides
with neat brick work and marble, bap-
tised it Virchow's Wen,n and now,
since the magician has gone, they bring
their sick to his well to be cured by
drinking its water and by ablutiOns.

Grapes may be kept by packing
them in jars (every bunch being first
wrapped in soft paper) and covering
every layer with bran, well dried, laying
a little Of it in the bottom of the jar,
then a layer of grapes, and so on, a layer
of bran and grapes alternately, till the
jar is filled; then shake it gently and
fill it to the top with bran. Then lay
some paper over it, and cover the TOP
with bladder, tied firmly on to exclude
the air; then put on the top Or cover of
the jar, observing that it fits close. The
jars should be placed in a room where a
fire can be kept in wet and damp
weather. Use fuller's earth for "heat. >
Sprinkle on as you would common
starch or keep it in a muslin BAG. 1t is
a sure cure. Can be bought at any drug
store. Ten cents worth is about a half

foren from lie Temps, Paris: "|The

the English tongue have there been seen
a like vogue and fury, The poem is
slight, and the music far from original,
but it pleases through q sort Of poetical
echo of popular songs, mingled with
buffOonery somewhat coarse, somewhat
heavy, and altogether unique. 1t is a

How to cook green corn: Hold the
small end of the ear of corn in the left
hand, resting the other end in a pan or
dish; then with very sharp knife shave
off the cap or crown Of all the grains on
the ear; then, holding the ear in the
same position in another pan, scrape
vigorously downward on it with the
knife until nothing is left on the cob but
the grain husks. If the corn is very
tender and the supply limited, the caps
first cut off may be put in with the
scrapings, if otherwise they should be
thrown aside. Having prepared in this
way the quantity of corn you wish to
cook, have upon your stove a saucepan
containing-say for one quart of corn
one pint of boiling water, into which stir
the corn and let it boil slowly for three
quarters of an hour, adding lump of
butter the size of an egg, the same bulk
of sugar and salt to your taste. Do not
boil it down dry but leave it about the
consistency of cooked corn starch. The
sugar may be omitted in cooking sweet
corn. Cooked in the ordinary way, the
common white field corn is neither pal
atable nor wholesome, but prepared as
above it is little inferior to sugar corn,
and is good enough for any body.

A Caution About Shot in Game.

This being the season when game
killed by shooting, and probably con-
tanning the pellets, is eaten, it may be
worth while to caution those who con-
sumo the flesh of birds with avidity that
the proportion ofinstances in which shot
is found is probably small in compari-
son with the number Of cases in which
the pellets are unwittingly swallowed.
1t is a matter of speculation how much
mischief a shot may do when passed in
to the inteStineS, but the fact that anom-
alOus diseases have been set up by the
presence of very small bodies which
have become entangled in the folds Of
the mucuOus membrane renders it de-
sirable to put the public on their guard.
Occasionally the most disastrous results
have followed such small causes. We
have in recollection the case of a phySi-
clan who died after prolonged and un-
explained sufferingS, from the impaction
of Il very small nail which had found its
way into pudding, and was inadvert-
entity swallowed. A little care will
avoid this contingency, but, remember
ing that the bird had been shot, some
pains ought certainly to be taken to
avoid swallowing the miSSile.-LOnd0n

The white of an egg is said to be a
specific for tish-bOnes sticking in the
throat. 1t is to be swallowed raw, and
will carry down bone easily and cer-
tainly. There is another fact touching
eggs which it will be well to remember.
When, as sometimes by accident, corro-
sive Sublimate is swallowed, the white of
one or two eggs taken, will neutralize
the poison and change the effect to that
of dose of calomel.
