The Naugatuck Valley Sentinel says :
" With the exception of one or two mills,
there will be no slowing down in manu-
facture in this locality this summer. Or
ders are plentiful in most trades even at
this time when the drummers are gener-
ally home preparing new lines of sam
Piles and arranging their routes in the fall.
Vacations will be short for this reason,
and most people will content themselves
with short trips at frequent intervals to

went swimming in the pond near by, and
the inducements she offered them to keep

Because girls have no fun;

They cannot climb up trees for fruit;

Fair Girl Telephonists.

The s'annunciator'' or .sswitch.
boards at the Central Telephone Ex-
change, Pittsburgh, are two in number.
and each is some twenty-five feet long.
They contain bright bits of metal that
represent a thousand telephones. AT
one OF the sections of the annunciator
there sits a comely damsel in dotted
lawn. The black tube of telephone
receiver is convenient to her left ear,
and her hands move over the annuncia-
tor as if she was manipulating the stops
OF q great church organ. This Young
lady is wholly unaffected by the buzz
OF voices about her, but keeps at her
duties with the air of one who can NOT
be ruffied or confused.
Within the past few days the expert
ment of introducing female labor at the
Exchange has been tried. and there are
now four ladies employed at this inter-
estlng place. The present experiment
promises to be success, and when a
feminine voice comes sliding over the
wires in response to "Hello, Central. y
patrons should govern themselves ac-
cordingly, and know that the "boy'' at
the other end is wide.awake girl.
One good effect of the change has
been noted at the Central Exchange.
There is less harsh language hurled
along the wires by irate and impatient
patrons. No fellow cares to ventilate
his lack of good nature in the ears-or
ear, rather-of lady, even If he be q
mile away from her refined presence;
SO that he curbs his swear and roars as
gently as sucking dove. It would
seem altogether that, other things being
equal, the employment of ladies at the
central Office will work a wholesome
change in the character of many mes
sages waited by electricity over the
wires. In this connection it might be
stated that the room occupied by the
Exchange is one of the most interesting
places in the city. TWENTY-FIVE Young
fellows, from sixteen to twenty-one wears
OF age, are holding earnest and appar-
emily confidential conversation with a
hole in the big board in front of them.
