The TelPDhoue.

This new invention is comparatively of
recent date. When first introduced ii was
for the purpose of quick communication
between short distances where telegraph
wires were too expensive. City merchants
connected their store and residence to-
gether by telephone, and mill owners and
manufacturers employed it for the same
purpose. Communication at long distances
was not considered possible nor practicable.
New discoveries as TO the powers and ca
pability Of the telephone are dissipatine
the old idea as to the non-feaSibility Of en-
ploying il at long distances. Already CON
versation has been carried on over the wire
between New York and Chicago, Cleveland
and other western cities, and Webster Gil
let, the inventor Of the long-distance tele-
phone instrument, says there is no doubt
| that telephoning Will be successfully car
ried on between New York and London
and other European capitals within a
short period
The first steamship that sailed the
ocean was marvel, but to send the human
| voice three thousand miles under the sea
! is a greater work Of science than to con
| struct ship that plows the waves from
| shore to shore. This is truly the age of
miracles, not wrought, however, in con-
travention to the laws OF Nature but in
exact conformity thereto.
The first discoyerer of the telephone
! was deaf man-strange. is it not, that
his invention has added new ears to the
| world, with wires as speaking tubes, over
| which orders to march armies, sail fleets
and move commerce viii travel as with
the speed Of lightning? VIII wonders
never cease? Not until the millennium

A New Cure for Scandal.

One of the leading Methodist churches
of Omaha has Just voted tattling, scan
dal-making woman out of church. 2nd
Friday night the members of the church
gathered at the parsonage and held ,iolli-
fcation over it. This new and heroic way
of curing scandal and treating scandal
mongers is not unlikely to prove popular
For what church is there that has not
its scandal-maker and dealer? 1t is moi
always a woman. Sometimes it is man
and man, when he is a gossip and tale.
bearer, exceis in venom and ingenuity and
industry all the daughters of Eve. But ir
me form or other almost every church
membership has its match for this person
who has Just been voted out at Omaha
How gladly all congregations would be
rid of the nuisance and annoyance Why
not adopt the plan and vote them out
Omaha has done something good at last
and introduced 4 feature worthy Of general
adoption and capable Of doing a great deal
| Of good-if followed up with courage and
acted on with prudence.
1t might be well for one church IN each
community first to vote out its offending
member. Perhaps this would be enough
ipi OiiC tONli VI
| members in the other churches there
would at once take alarm, and perhaps
reform. 1t is doubtful if there is anything
in deliberate and confirmed scandal
maker that is worth saving for this world
or the next. But ii may be that in some
of them there is. If only one such viper
nesting in the bosom Of the church, could
really be converted from the evil way, and
reformed, it would show the miraculous
power Of grace, and give more cause fol-
rejoicing than would the conversion OF
ninety and nine common and unsanctim0-
Nous sinners
Pass the Omaha case around, and lei
one church in each community try it, II
may be the long-needed cure for scandal
in the church-the worst scandal in the
! world

hard days work, returns home to pass

The Best Medicine.

Speaking generally, it is not to the lab
oratory Of the chemist that we should 20
for our potash salts, but to the laboratory
of nature, and more especially to that OF
the vegetable kingdom. They exist in the
green parts of all vegetables This is Illus
tratcd by the manufacture of commercial
potash from the ashes Of the twics and
leaves Of timber-trees. The more succu-
lent the vegetable the greater the quantity
of potash it contains, though there are
some minor exceptions to this. As have
already stated, we extract and waste a
considerable proportion of these salts when
we boil vegetables and throw away the
potage, which our wiser and more thrifty
neighbors add to their everyday menu.
When we eat raw vegetables, as in salads.
we obtain all their potash. Fruits gener-
ally contain important quantities of potash
salts, and it is upon these especially that
the possible victims of lithic acid should
rely. Lemons and grapes contain them
most abundantly. Those who cannot at
ford to buy these articles OF daily food NAV
use cream of tartar, which, when genuine.
is the naturnal salt of the grape, thrown
down in the manner shall describe when
on the subject of the cookery of wines.
