Sealskin and Matrimony.

She left him for a sealskin sacque.
Such is. the popular verdict in recent
divorce case, though the records read
another way. What is there in that
garment which makes it so wonderful
to the feminine eye? Its rich. brown
hue, its softness to the touch, are unde-
niable advantages, but it does not be-
come every one, 1t is too often mere
fur bag that overloads and overwhelms
pretty figure. 1t is too valuable to
be ripped up by every owner, and alter
ed with the changing fashions. Gnard-
ed ever so tenderly, it is invaded by
the moth that gnaws and rubbed bare
by the most delicate neck and chin. Is
it badge of wealth? No; almost every
woman scrapes to get one. 1t can be
had on the installment plan at double
its value. That is against it. Why,
then, make home unhappy for such an
article? We may be preaching in vain,
but better thousand times wear plush
with honest pride than blush in seal
skin. -NeW York Morning JotraU,

Effect Of the Telephone on Hearing and
Attention,

~&NsNN~SNN<
1t has been assumed by some that the
effect of constant use of the telephone
is injurious to the ear. The Springfield
Republican finds just the opposite to be
the case with operators and others there.
One of the young girls in the central
office there says her hearing is con-
SANITY improving. When she began
this work she Numbered sadly; now the
ear is drilled to catch the faintest sound,
and the sense of hearing is remarkably
acute. 1t must be noticed that thereg-
llarity Of this schooling of the ear is
largely responsible for the good result.
If An operator were to take switch
board only one day in the week and do
Jail the work required on that day, the
practice would doubtless be detriment-
1al, because it would be exhaustive to
both the muscular and nervous make
!up Of the ear. The systematic use OF
the telephone seems to develop the
hearing above its normal acuteness,
but does not make it technically abnor-
,mal. One benefit from using the tele-
phone is evident to both subscribers
and central Office operators, that of
cultivating the attention, a process
which is reckoned as the third or intel
ectual method of developing the sense
If hearing. A good share OF the diff
Guilty which people find in working
telephone comes not from any defect in
the machine, nor from d .cnt hearing,
but from inability to fix lAe attention
On what is heard. This trouble readily
disappears by practice in listening
closely to what is said over the wire.
Indeed the attention may be trained to
an abnormal development, as in the
case of the head operator at the central
office, who has been in the telephone
business for four years; she has so ac-
customed herself to fix her attention on
the machine before her and to abstract
her attention from her surroundings,
that when she is in her home she often
fails to hear when she is addressed by
members Of the family.

jay Gould's Mausoleum.

The Gould mausoleum in Woodland
Cemetery, N. Y, is so far on the way
to completion that on Thursday last the
final roof slab was set in place. Work
on the interior decoration has begun.
The structure is impressive by reason
of its simplicity, harmony of design
and massiveness. Its form is that of
Ionic temple, raised on platform
three steps above the level of the
sward surrounding it. The working
men say that the foundation OF the
platform is mass of concrete, that
makes it practically single stone
eight feet in thickness, by thirtysix or
more in length, and twenty eight in
width, The structure is wholly Of finely
hammered Westerly granite, without
asingle band OF panel, or other surface
that is polished. Thirty graceful
columns, eleven feet high, by thirteen
inches in diameter. surround the maui
solemn, and add TO the support of its
massive roof. "
Space for twenty bodies is afforded
within. In the front of the tomb will
be bronze door of Grecian design,
pierced so as to afford view of the
interior. A window representing
choir of angels will occupy the space
now left in the rear wall. 1t is under.

UNEXPENDED APPROPRIATION

The Oregonidn mentions the fact of
the failure of the passage Of the River
and Harbor bill, and then alludes to
the unexpended appropriations that can
be used this year and among them he
mentions the following:
"Of last years appropriation Of 49,.
900 for the upper Willamette, about
half remains at the disposal Of the en-
gineer. 1t is not possible to give the
amount still available for the locks and
canal at the Cascades; but it is suf6c.
lent to complete tho special work now
in progress. The expenditure here
will be curtailed at once and operations
will continue through the year. Last
years appropriation Of $40, 900 for riv-
ers putting into Puget Sound has not
been touched, and will be expended
during the coming summer. The Che
halls river appropriation Of $1,000 has
been released by Secretary Lincoln, and
will be applied this year. For improve
meut Of Snake river, $1,000 remains
in the hands Of Engineer Powell, and
this will be applied this season; as, also,
s., 900 for the Clearwater river. Work
on the latter has just begun"
