sufficiently serious to create alarm. and most
bulls in the grangers left the street with firm
conviction that there plenty of grazing ground

are reached. As matter of fact the animation Of

A Cheerful Wife.

Better than gold to Il man is q cheer
full wife. But he must do his part to-
ward making her cheerful. 1t is easy
enough for Il man to marry Il happy
woman. But the bride eXpectant, when
she thought how happy she would be,
never contemplated the picture of a hus-
band coming home cross as Il bear, and
going to bed without speaking to her;
she had never thought of the long even
inc when he wouldn't come at all; OF
his bringing some one home to dinner
without warning or preparation; or his
awful profanity over so tritling matter
as her little bill of expenses. She had
no idea, in fact, there could be any thing
but happiness in married life, and she
had determined to be happy, and to dis
tribute her happiness to those about her.
1t is not often her fault il she doesn't t
succeed. Men, as Il rule, do not exert
themselves to secure their wives happl
ness. They know that it itrequires a con
stant and great effort to possess prop
erty and be secure i'll its value III the
midst of constant commercial changes
The cheerfulness, the happy, hopeful
character which every woman displays
at the beginning of marriage, is not SC
easily lost us fortune it requires but 4
small share. A word to the girls i'll this
connection is in order: Beware of the
man who doesn't know enough about
cheerfulness to understand its value IL
daily life. Such II man would improve
the first opportunity to grind the cheer
fulness out of his home, to frlghten
sunbeam into shadow, and then won
der what is the matter. Such Is no bet
Ger than no husband at all; and whei
You want Il husband go find somebody
else-somebody who will give you a
least some chance to be happy far int
the life beyond the honeymoon.-St

A Simple and Practicable Telephone

The Chicago Times says: Mr.. o. z.
Hathewav, of No. LOOP West Madison
Street, has connected his place of busi-
ness with his residence and two other
localities with a new kind of telephone
which for short distances has several
points of superiority over those of Gray
and Bell, the chief point being economy.
On Mr.. Hatheway's invitation, Times
reporter inspected his telephones and
found that they were capable of being
very useful A hole six inches i'll diam
eter is in piece of board, and piece
of drum-head is well wctted and secure
" fastened to the edges of this hole. An
old-fashioned copper cent Is laid on the
center of the drum-head and a wire Is
fastened to the cent, OF metallic button,
or whatever it may be, and passed
through the parchment, which Is then
allowed to dry with the board lying horl-
zontal, and a heavy weight attached to
the wire. The weight draws the wet
parchment out into funnel shape,
which it retains when dry. The board
is then set up perpendicularly and the
line wire is connected with the metallic
button. As the sound is conveyed not
by electric waves but by the vibration OF
the wire, the line wire must be drawn as
tight as possible, and the freer it is from
turns the better 1t is supported by
loops of twine or wire through which it
is run. The signal is given by rapping
on the board. The speaker then stands
in front of the drrm-head funnel, but
need not stand very close to it, and talks
The air waves started by his voice are
taken up by the drum head, transmitted
to the wire, and delivered at the Other
end with great faithfulness. 1t isn't
necessary to put ones ear to an oritice
and listen attentively. Any one within
/ a few feet of the receiver can hear, and
under favorable conditions Mr.. Hattie
way has heard remarks coming over the
wire when standing dozen feet away
The voice sounds as if coming out of q
long and large speaking tube. The
| largest line Mr.. Hathaway has is 800
feet. He is confident that these tele
phones are good for a mile, and arc
/ available at distance of two miles wher
there is no wind This device is not hi,

A Project Killed.

Official proceedings of the Limekiln
Club, as reported in Detroit Free Press:
Maj Ahbury Congreeve gained the
floor and the recognition of the Chair
and sad he had Il matter of great inn
portance to communicate to the Club.
He had long been of the idea that Para
disc Hall should be connected with II
gymnasium for the use of colored peo-
pie only, and he was willing for one to
take Il liberal amount of stock in II prof.
ect of the kind and become II liberal
patron. He believed that muscular de-
yelopment meant long life, and it had
panied him to discover that the colored
people of Detroit had of late years en-
tirelv neglected muscular development,
and that death was busy in their ranks.

as he pushed up his sleeve. '' lie got

hev got down to six cents per pound, an
thankful dat de price of whitewashin
remains firm an de market steady"
