become discouraged. The ordinary rules of
parliamentary procedure are easily mastered,
and after they have participated few times
in the debates incident to the transaction of
business they viii unconsciously acquire the
necessary degree of selfpossession. As Mrs.
Sherwood intimates, one of the most impor-
tant rules to be observed is to say what you
have TO say OF any question that may arise
ito the whole meeting, and not to your
neighbor in the corner" and, we may add
say it in the same woTds-the simpler the
language, the better The idea which pos
sesses some people that in addressing meet
ing of ones friends and associates it is nee
essary to depart from the plain and direct
mode of speaking which is employed in Or
binary conversation, is both false and mis-
ehieyous. Eschew rhetorical hourishes; it
is quite enough to be able to make your
meaning clear to your audience. When you
have done that, you have accomplished the
purpose of all oratory.
As Mrs. Sherwood remarks at the conclu-
sion of her essay, a Woman's Auxiliary,
properly conducted, is full Of intellectual
stimulus. The contact of bright minds in
itself affords a pleasant excitement, and the
discussions which are sure to arise over the
adoption of new measures are calculated to
strengthen individual interest in the work
of the society. Instead of being drag on
the energies of the members the meetings OF
Womans Auxiliaries can thus be made a
source of positive enjoyment, and the more
interesting and agreeable they are the more
substantial and enduring is likely to be the
work accomplished.

TRIBUNE for publication, but it is so indie
cent and blasphemous in language that We
must decline to disfgure our columns with it.
Suffice it that the letter reminds our comrades
at Eureka Springs that they are living in the
South, and warns them that unless they
abandon their organization, the terrors of
the Ku-Klux-Klan will be let loose upon
them. AS public sentiment is not particu-
larly friendly to ex-Union soldiers at
Eureka Springs, it is but natural that such
letter as this should occasion some alarm,
but we do not apprehend that anything viii
come of it, and our comrades of Lyon Post
which, although organized so recently as
last October, already numbers one hundred
members-have shown their good sense In
taking no other action than to hand it over
to the postal authorities for investigation as
to its authorship. 1t may result in landing

penitentiary, where he obviously belongs

mechanical capacity for the transmission of
intelligence without regard to distance,
rather than the temporary inability of the
telephone to convey messages beyond certain
circumscribed limits. Granting that dis
lance is likely to be no longer an element in
the competition between the two, the fact
still remains that at present more work
can be accomplished within a given
period by telegraph wire than by a
telephone wire. That is to say, while
but one message at time can be
transmitted over telephone circuit, two
one in each direetion-can be sent over the
telegraph circuit, and even double that num-
Der with the aid of the quadruplex appar
atus. The comparative accuracy of trans
mission is also another important considera-
ton. The telephone leaves no record be-
hind it; if a message is incorrectly commu-
nicated by the sender or misunderstood by
the receiver, the mistake is not SO easily
detected. Moreover, no responsibility at
taches to telephone companies for errors of
transmission in the case of direct communi-
cation between its patrons; whereas tele-
graph companies are legally liable for losses
sustained through inaccuracies in messages.
AS to the advantage which the telephone
enjoys over the telegraph in respect to the
time occupied in the sending and receiving
of communications, it must be admitted that
in many cases it is apparent rather than
real. Whenever for instance, it becomes
necessary to reduce message to writing,
there is no saving of time whatever, since
the rapidity of communion is then limited
by the capacity Of the pensman, as is the
case with Geographic communication.
Such, nevertheless, are the resources OF
science and the fertility of inventive genius,
that the time may yet come when all the
difficulties which now stand in the way OF
the complete supersedure of the telegraph
by the telephone will be successfully sur
mounted and the postal service even be
partially supplanted. It is certainly sig
nifcant fact that telephone communication
is about to be established between Balti-
more and Washington forty miles distant
from each other-oyer the very route of the
telegraph line first built by Morse to demon
strate the practicability of his system.

The Telephone and the Telegraph

The question as to whether or not the
telephone is likely to become a formidable
rival of the telegraph is one that is just now
attracting great deal of attention in business
as well as scientific circles. Its utility as a
medium for the transmission of communica-
tions over short distances was satisfactorily
demonstrated long ago, but it is only re-
Gently that serious attempts have been made
to adapt it to the purposes of the telegraph.
In theory, the telephone ought to be capable
of transmitting articulate sounds to any dis
lance, but in practice it has been found that
there are numerous mechanical obstacles in
the way. These have at last been SO far
overcome, however, as to warrant the belief
that within the life of the present generation
the President of the United States will be
able to make his voice audible to the Amer
lean minister at the Court of ST. James and
communicate his instructions verbally If he
choose, and the survival of the telegram
seems now to be q question Of its greater

Mrs. 6herwoods sixth paper on Woman's
Auxiliaries, which appears in another col
umn Of the present issue, viii be found one
of the most interesting Of the series 1t is
occupied with practical suggestions concern
ing the manner in which the meetings of
these societies should be conducted, and the
author enforces her recommendations with
illustrations drawn from actual experience.
By way of contrast, she compares the pro-
ceedings Of meeting where neither the
presiding officer nor the members in attend
ance appeared to have any definite idea of
what ought to be done or how to do ii, with
the deliberations Of an assemblage where a
mutual understanding prevailed as to the
business to be transacted and the proper
methed of dispatching it, and her descrip-
ton is as amusing as it is instructive The
fact is, however, that the difidence which
women so frequently display in public as
semblies is not by any means peculiar to the
sex. Their husbands and brothers and
fathers have also been known to become as
dumb and vapid as an oyster" when called
