A Big Telephone Scheme.

1t is reported that the Interstate
Telephone Company, having q capital
of S1O0, 900 and composed of New York,
Boston, Providence and Hartford capi-
talists, has been formed for the purpose
of connecting all the large cities in the
East with New York City by telephone.
This company has secured from the
American Bell Telephone Company the
exclusive use of its apparatus between
Boston and New York for term of
seven years from the first of July last.
and its proposed scheme will soon be in
operation. Boston and Providence will
be first put in communication with each
other and after that line is in good
working order, two lines will be ex-
tended from Providence, one to New
York, by way of New London, New
Haven and Bridgeport. A spur line
will run from Providence to Hartford,
Waterbury and other towns in the
Naugatuck Valley to Bridgeport. Lines
from Springfield, Worcester and other
cities will be constructed, tapping and
acting as feeders to the main line. The
company also have the right to con-
struct lines from New York to Wash
ington by way of Philadelphia and Ba' y,
timore. When the lines are complete
subscribers to the local telephone can,
it is said, for a small fee in addition to
their local rates, talk with people in
any of the cities which have the tele-
phone system.-New London Conn.,

Curative Baths.

One day last week gentleman who
was enjoying the luxury of shave in a
certain barber-shop on Pine Street had
his attention directed by the barber to
a tall, gaunt, cadaverous-looking man,
evidently from the country, who entered
the shop and asked for bath. THAT
man," said the barber, I" is the best
customer l have" and proceeded to
tell how that was. A couple OF days
before this man had entered the shop
and introduced himself to the proprie-
tor, with the statement that he was
from Nebraska, an invalid, and recon-
mended to this place to take baths. The
barber was rather surprised at this, as
he was not aware of any special virtue
possessed by his baths over any others
in the city, he using the same muddy
river water But, willing enough to
turn an honest penny, he ushcred the
stranger into a bath room, furnished
him with soap and towels and left him
Sharp County record., 1880-09-16

to his pursuit of health. The man re-
mained in the bath for some time, and
when he came out was loud in his
praise of the benefits he felt from his
wash in the solid Mississippi fluid.
And now," continued the barber,
"that man comes in every hour in the
day and takes his bath. and he says be
is growing better and better for every
bath he takes" The listener expressed
it as his opinion that the man had made
mistake. He had most probably been
recommended to some electric bath
establishment, but seeing the sign OF
baths in front of barber-shop, had
taken it for granted chat was the place,
and he was now rubbing good river mud
into his body, and under the impression
all the time that he was receiving cleo
tric treatment and improving in health
from its effects. The gentleman also
intimated that the barber was hardly
doing the square thing by the man in
thus allowing him to be deceived, but
the barber thought that as long as the
man believed himself benefited by the
baths, it was not his place to inform
him of his mistake; besides he was
taking in thirty-five cents an hour and
he didn't care about losing his good
customer. So the man from Nebraska
is probably still enjoying his electric
Mississippi water baths. st. Louis

Building in Haste to Repent at Leisure.

Ten years ago the Presbyterian
Church of Bellefonte, Pa, felt desire
for a new house of worship. The old
one, which had been in use for thirty
or forty years, was little out of style,
and not in keeping with the ideas of
some of the more progressive people.
So they pulled the old building down
and erected an elegant brown-stone one
in its place. The movement met with
some opposition from few elderly
members, who thought the old church
good enough to last for another genera
ton. Their opposition was overruled
and the new church was in due time
dedicated. The material chosen for it
was brown stone from newly-reopened
quarry in a mountain near Bellefonte.
This stone was thought to be good, but
had not been tested After a while ev-
licences of disintegration were observed.
The stone was found to be slowly
crumbling to pieces. This has now
gone on to such an extent that the build
inc is pronounced unsafe, and will have
to be taken down. 1t is now closed
and nobody dares venture into it. To
take it down and rebuild with other ma
terials will be both difficult and danger
Gus work, and will cost from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars, which will be a
clear loss to the congregation. They
now wish they had listened to the elders
and kept their old building.

Kirghiz Proverbs.

The following proverbial sayings are
quoted, among others, by the Turkestan
Statistical Magazine as being in vogue
among the Kirghiz nomads, Many Of
them are, of course, only variations,
though often curious and characteristic,
of proverbs of a very wide circulation,
such as Forge while the iron is hot,
or ga live mouse is better than p dead
lion.n Our own cit never rains but it
pours " reappears as Gone never falls
but one falls from a mar" Ga tall species
of camelD and "Even a worm will
turn" as "Don't pursue a coward too
long lest he become brave" Nothing
is cheap that you do not want" as
Burn the saddle which is too heavy
for the horse, even if it be made OF
gold;" or, as we remember Lord Pal
merston once put it, dirt is matter in
the wrong place" Zone crow should
not peck out the eyes of another" is al
most identical with the Scotch Hawks
Wilma pyke out hawks Gen." and "Re-
spect me and I'll call thee brother
(Which is also the Russian form) is rep
resented by the pithy Scotch version
"Ca' me, ca thee" This mutual lau-
dation is, by the way even more laconi-
cally expressed in Punjabi by two words,
signifying "the scratching against each
other of two donkeys." Others of these
Kirghiz sayings sum up in sentence
the moral of some we'll known fable, as
"Take-it-eas will overtake hare, even
in an ARABIA" Country cartD Between
two camels fly will easily como to
grief" Others breathe the free spirit
of the Steppe, as "He whose mother
was slave is no slave unless he be-
comes so by his own deeds;' 1.-The
son of a noble father may become a
prince or a slave;" 1.-The people is
sacred;" "A great festival is one for
the whole people," "Only cur would
ask brave man who his father was. ="
Shrewdness and pathos and humor are
all represented. "The lost knife had a
golden handle, the lost COW the largest
supply of milk reminds us of the an
glers lost salmon. "a sharp knife is
better for work, but it cuts the sheath; y
this is just the
Fiery soul which, working out its way,
Fretted the punny body to decay"
ga horse cannot roll about without
leaving some hairs on the ground"
"The fathers thought is the child, the
child's thought is the Steppe;;' Your
daughter is at home but her reputation
is abroad" 1.-The dog barks but the
caravan moves on;n "Abuse is more
harmless than smoke, it does not affect
the eyes," Zone meal is worth forty
saIaams." lilies are useful weapons
but they injure the soul" When you
have a grievance 90 to the Khan, when
hungry to rich man." this is perhaps
ironical. "A colored cup may lose its
color but not its shape" expresses more
than the corresponding "Can the Ethi-
opian change his skin?'
Some of the collection have quite the
ring, and even more than that, of the
utterances of Solomon, as IF rich
man is made Judge he will be like a
leafy tree; if a poor man, like wither-
ed branch" "When rich man loses
his wife another takes her place; when
poor man loses his. trouble becomes
his bedfellow." And this, especially,
"a good mans desire for vengeance
lasts till dinner time, while bad man S
outlives his victim. ."-tStOddartS ReUie1U

Thinking Birds.

The Central Prison at Agra, India, is
the roosting- place of great number of
the common blue pigeons; they fly out
to the neighboring country for food
every morning and return in the even
ing, when they drink in tank just out
side the prison walls. In this tank are
q large number of fresh water turtles,
which lie in wait for the pigeons. Any
bird alighting to drink near one of these
turtles has good chance of having its
head bitten off and eaten, and the head
less bodies of pigeons have been picked
up near the water. The pigeons, how
ever, are aware of the danger, and have
hit on the following plan to escape it,:
A pigeon comes in, and, as it nears the
tank, instead of flying down at once to
the waters edge, will cross the tank at
about twenty feet above the surface and
then fly back to the side from which it
came, apparently selecting for alighting
safe spot which it mad remarked as it
flew over the bank; but, even when
such a spot has been selected, the
bird will not alight at the edge of the
water, but on the bank about yard
from the water and will then run down
quickly to the water, take two or three
hurried gulps of it and then fly off to re-
peat the same process at another part
of the tank till its thirst is satisfied.
l had often watched the birds doing
this and could not account for their
strange mode of drinking till told by
my friend, the Superintendent of the
Prison, of the turtles which lay in am
bush for the pigeons,-London Mature.

WORLDS DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

Gentlemen-For years have been great
sufferer. Nv trouble first started with ter
rble ague chills and constipatiOns. This left
me in 1878 with racking cough and frequent
bleedings from the lungs. Since this time |
have been continually doctoring, consulting
physicians without number From them l
received no benefit or encouragement The
most noted physicians of our city who last
visited me expressed their opinions in the
brief but hopeless words, Take good care
of yourself the few days you have to live,
we cannot help you" grew steadily worse
under their treatment. One day through
reading your Memorandum Book, | learned
of the Golden Medical Discovery With but
little hope of relief, purchased bottle and
took it. To my surprise and satisfaction it
did me more good than all the drugs | had
taken the year around. / am now steadily
using it with benefit and recommend it to all
to be Just what it is advertised
Sincerely yours, JAMES P MCGRATH,
