A Bad Phase of Life.

One of the saddest phases of life is
thus noted: GA distressing case of finan-
cial and mental ruin lately came to light
in New York. A handsome and we'll
dressed young woman applied at sta
tion-house for nights lodging, as she
had no place to go. 1t was Miss Lucy E.
Laurent, daughter of one of the wealth.

ceased. The property was divided equal
ly between Lucy and her brother. The
boy was bad and squandered his share
in dissipation, drew upon his sister to
maintain him in debauchery, and finally
prevailed upon her to make over all her
property to him, which she did about a
wear ago. She went into service, but her
impoverished condition appears; to have
disturbed her reason. She LETT her
place and wandered about the streets
until she sought refuge in police station.
The next morning she stole on and COM

apparently hunting the river, when she
attracted attention and was taken back

War Sounds by Telephone.

An eighty-ton gun, which speaks with
the power of370 pounds ofpowder behind
aproiectile weighing LOO pounds, has a
voice somewhat louder than that of
human being, but the use of the tele.
phone to carry the war sounds of Alex
andria l, 900 miles yesterday suggests
query as to how long it will be before
the telephone will be adopted for or
binary use at long distances. The Lon
don Globe reports that an instrument
was attached to the Mediterranean cable
at Malta, which is nearly 200 miles from
Alexandria, and the bombardment was
plainly audible 1000 miles away. The
fact that the telephone which received
the sounds was so far from the bonn
harding fleet makes the success of the
experiment especially remarkable. In
ventors are at work upon the problem
of how to adapt the telephone for use at
long distances, and if the sounds of war
can be carried 900 miles, it seems rea-
sonable to believe that the use of the
telephone for conversation at 200 miles
can be made practicable. A test of a
subterraneal telephone at Jersey City
yesterday encourages hope of such re-
sl,lt

Fire at the State Reform School.

There was serious fire at the Minnesota
state reform-school, near st. Paul, on
Wednesday night. The building destroyed
was one-story brick structure, 4Ox50 feet
and costabout $1,000 The engine, which
cost 81, 400, is a total wreck, and one of the
boilers and perhaps both. They were worth
about 81, 100 apiece. Besides this hundred
cords of hard wood and as many of soft,
which brings the total loss up to about "a
500. The building contained a new pump
with hose attachments, which was deemed
adequate to protect all the buildings of the
institution, but the fire had got under such
headway that the pump had to be aban-
doned before it could be fairly started. The
fire was finally put out little af:er mid
night, and roll call among the boys showed
that not one had left. The little fellows
worked well in carrying wood to make a
break in the burning pile.

"PfOVed to q DOt'

The ability of the average understand.

whatthe real gist of it was, suggests
comparison with the old lady's accuracy
