March and were now on their return. she
had greatly improved in health, and al
though she hal been greatly panied by the
lrutalitieS connected with sealing, she was
ready for a cruise next year. She said the
Indians often cut open the seals before they
were dead, and her father said he had seen

heads ani try TO walk. The seal Is

Telegraph Wires Under Ground.

Paris has solved the problem of putting
telegrap h and telephone wires under ground.
The telephone service ma lie this necessary
in the first place, The French are given to
CAB and they all wante to talk over wires,
and TO talk ell at once First, experimenters
began by reducing the size of telephone
wires. They made tnem smaller and smaller,
till at last 1t WAS found that a mere copper
thread, no more than one tiftieth OF an inch
in diameter, would serve for call. But
the wires became more and more numerous
and annoying. There were hundreds OF
miles of them over the housetops. Some
thing had to lie done In 1850 the different
companies fuS ID into one, the Societe Cen
erals dies Tel phones. The city of Paris
then rentel its sewers to the united tele-
phone organ cation. 1t rented for four
years IA space twelve inches wide by four
deep at the top of the sewer arch, The COM

bundles Of wire We're Supported. The hooks,
with sections of the ca UIcs, are seen in the

SECTION OF WIRES IN SEWER.

1t must be remembered that there is
nothing offensive in the Paris sewers. They
are SO thoroughly disintected, and their
contents 50 treated by air AMI chemicals,
that they are used as promenade by
strangers. a space for walk is left along
the side. They are, in fact, practically
great tubular cellars under the Paris
streets. Along these the bundles Of tele-
phone wires were placed. There was plenty
of room here for all that came. and to
spare. But there were some difficulties
The distance between any two conductors
was so slight that the ground could not be
used for return circuit, as in the ordinary
telegraph. Messages sent over one wire
could be heard with perfect distinctness
over the one next to it, owing to convey
ance of the escaping electricity by in iuc-
ton. SO two wires had to be employed for
each line. These were put together and
loosely wrapped with cotton. Every pair
of wires ha | It's own color Of cotton to di l..
tinguish the .iferent ones. Seven pairs of
wire were wrapped with tarrei twine and
put into one leaden tub.

Cause and Effect.

This Is an old and true saying that
there Is never an effect without cause
Now, it will be pleasure to give our
readers few cases which 90 to show
the truth of the above statement. The
effect of the scarcity of milk and cream
is caused by the extreme warm weather
dry ing up the pastures. This effect
causes some ice cream makers to add
milk to their cream in order to supply
the increased demand. The effect of
Gibney's ice-cream being just as rich
now as when cream is more plentiful Is
caused by him having made arrange.
ments with dairymen to supply him
during the warm season. The effect of
so many people going in the direction of
71s West Eighth street is explained by
an intense desire TO get something cool
and refreshing. The reason Of persons
coming out of 718 West Eighth street
with elastic steps and beaming coun-
tenances is because they have been eat
ing Gibney's ice cream, which is rich,
smooth and delicately Favored, as we'll
as cool and refreshing. Fruit ices al

The Bill Was Too steep.
Philadelphia Rec ord.

have been asksd several times " ny
the relations between the Hon. Joseph
Pulitzer and the Hon. William DORIS
heimer, of New York, are strained. /
have repeated the question myself, and
have at last got an explanation from a
New York City Democrat, whose infor.
nation Is usually good. He says that
when the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer first
arrived in New York he retained the
Hon. William Dorsheimer as counsel
for his newspaper. After while some
body sued the newspaper FOR something
or other, and the Hon. William Dors.
heimer was notified, but before the
latter could do anything, the Hon.
Joseph Pulitzer had in his own diplo-
matte way arranged matters with the
plaintiff, 30 that the latter withdrew his
suit. Time passed, and the Hon.
William Dorsheimer sent in his bill
for services rendered In that case. The
fee asked was $1,000. This rather
startled the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer and
he FASTENED at once to the law offices of
the Hon. William Dorsheimer. "There
must be some mistake about this BILL"
he said to the latter. 81 think not"
said the Hon. William DorsheimAr,
looking at 1t. "But, said the Hon,
Joseph Pulitzer, ait is for $1,000. and
you did absolutely nothing in the case.
Ifyou had asked 800 l might have
paid it without protest, but this is
too much" "Mr. Pulitzer" said the
aon. William Dorsheimer, solemnly,
"I never dispute about my fees. "
Whereupon the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer
returned to his office. wrote q check
for 81, 1000 and sent 1t to the Hon.
William Dorsheimer with note sta
ting that his services as counsel for his
newspaper would no longer be required.
Tho next day the Eon, Joseph Pulit-
zer began his canvass for the seat in
Congress held by the Hon. William
Dorsheimer, which resulted in the
nomination and election of the Hon.
Joseph PuliiZar, and since then he has
lost no opportunity to harass the sem
sitive soul of the Hon. William DORIS
heimer.

Tall 0aia.

A few days ago we noticed a specimen
of welcome" oats five feet four
inches in length, grown by David Nor
gan, of New Castle Hundred. We
thought the above we're pretty tall, but
we see that John T. Steel, who resides
near the Head of Christiana church,
has furnished The Newark Ledger with
a bunch of oats that measures six feet
four inches. As a rule oats do not
average three feet the present season,
and therefore we look upon the speci
men as something unusual. We pre-
sumo that 1t grew on meadow land, or
belongs to some new variety that in q
year or two will deteriorate, and be
looked upon as only common place.
This has been the case with foreign
importations, and the best reliance for
successful husbandry is suitable ground
