All OF The northern continental states besides

Couldn't Climb

The other day, says the Indian apOlis News, John F. Wallack, Super intendent of ihe Western Union Tele- graph in this district, related a bit of his experience. It occurred during one of the night storms SO frequent last summer. The violence of the storm had detached the trunk quairuplex wire, used for New York business, and the testing instrument located the break st the first pole west of Lewis vile. MT. Wallack called up the operator there and ordered that the break be txed.
 Can't go out tonight; storm is too bad,' was the reply.
 "StOrm or no storm; the thing has to be fixed"
 Well, I've got no ladder"
 Go out and climb the pole" This somewhat testify.
 '' can't climb the pole"
 Whats the reason you can't?' Managers temper going fast.
 I'm a wnman."
 MT. Wallack had forgotten, in the press of business, that Lewisville had a female operator, but when reminded of it he gave up the job and hired two boys 10 attend to it.

Trees in Cifie.

An interesting paper has been re- gently read by Dr. Phene, al Edin- 0urgn, on tue benefits 10 be derived IIOm planting trees Iu cities. Among the beneficial re, ults To be attained are, he stated, the relief 10 the optic nerve through the eye resting on Ob- Jects of green color. Just that which Is affected by tue use of green or blue glasses in strengthening and sustain Ing the power of sigbt, is attained, or ut any rate, much aided, by the pres ence of green in natuIe; and in slreets the only method 10 procure this result Is by planting trees. It was pointed out by the author that whenever Op- pOrlunlty exists nature provides green and blue Ohe latter being the same color minus the presence of yellow, and that as the absence of color pro- duces snow blindness, and in tropical calms, where the ocean presents a white reflected light from uniform glassy surface, reduced optical power soon follows a long continuance Of the absence of blue color, which il becomes immediately on motion of the waves.
 So In the streets, to the occupants of houses having a northern aspect, the glare of the reflected light ln Injuri riOus; but the effect would be much Il odided by the coolness of the eye produced by the green of trees. h ancient surgery, persons having weak or declining sight were advised 10 look at the emerald. In the old style of building, the streets being narrow, were both cooler, from the sun not being able tO. penetrate them with direct rays, and les subject to noxI- Ous eXhalatiUns from the securing and purifying effects of the searching air to which the narrow streets were sub iect, so that while there was no space. for trees there was also less necessity Wide streets, on the contrary, are hot ter, and require the shade of trees to cool them; and, as in the case London, which has so tar done with out trees in its streets, it was pointed out that not only are modern streets compUlsorily wide, but that the enor- nous increase in metropolitan build iu-s renders every sanitary question Oae Of importance; and the chemical properties of trees as shown by experi- ments give them au important stand ing. irrespective of ornament or the pleasure they produce. Some of Dr.. PheHv's experiments on this subject have extended over period of thirty ears, and he 1t was who first tried the planting of trees in the streets of Lon- don. oInce the reading of former paper by him al Manchester, wherein the importance of the subject was pointed out, a number of streets m wealthy localities have been planted, and even Trafalgar square, in the heart of the metro polls.

ENOUGH has been told, with author ity, 10 assure the public that the re- vision which q company of eminent scholars have for years been making of the English edition of the New Testament is not likely to shake the faith of any body of sinners or lessen the apprehensions of sinners. A few interpretations have been expunged and thousands of verbal alterations have been made, but the sense has very rarely been changed The word hell " has been changed to '' hades, '" which at first sight would seem a con- cession to the very large sect of which Col. Bob. Ingersoll is prophet and priest, but as all the unpleasant quai- flying clauses remain as before, the sinful will have no occasion 10 fear that the supply of fuel in the other world will be limited. Sometimes the word soul is replaced with !" life" but always with an implication of futurity. The descriptions of tue joys awaiting liars, extOrtiuners and other prominent but unpopular characters, remain exactly IS before; in short, the book Is just what it always has been the last thing in print that any man of free and easy life will pick up to while away lazy halt-hour with.

The plug hat is virtually sort or social guarantee for the preservation of peace and order. He who pust on one has given a hostage to the community for his good behavior The wearer of plug hat must move with a certain sedateBess and prOprl- ety. He cannot run or jump or rdmp or get into a fight except at the peril of his head gear. All the hidden in huences of the beaver tend toward re- spectability. He who wears one IS obliged to keep the rest Of his body ID decent trim, that there may be no incongruity between head and body. He is apt to become thoughtful through the necessity of watching the sky whenever he gOes out. The chances are that he will buy an um D brella, which is another guarantee for good behavior, and the case of hal and umbrella-perpetual and ex- acting as it must be- adds to the sweet seriousness of his character. The man who wears plug hat nat urally takes to the society of women, with ali it's elevated tendencies. He cannot go hunting or fishing witheu abandoning his beloved hat, but in the moderate enjoyment of croquet or lawn tennis, he may sport his beaver with impunity. In other words, the constant use of the plug hat makes a man composed in manners, quiet and gentlemanly in conduct, and the com panion of the ladies. The inevitable result is prosperity, marriage and church membership.
