The Story Of the Telephone

~ a
In 1872 DR.. Bell had private school
for deaf mutes in Boston. Among his
pupils was Howard Glyndon, who is we'll
known in literary circles. One day while
this lady was walking, she noticed that
whenever street cars we're passing and
the muif in which her hands we're placed
was pressed against her body, she ex-
perienced peculiar vibration On in
forming DR.. Bell Of her sensations, no
proceeded to make what he called sound
box, having drum shaped heads, which
was to be worn in front, under the cloth
ing DR.. Bell experimental with sound
boxes until he struck upon new idea.
This idea excited him very much, caus-
ed him to work sometimes all night,
and at last resulted in the telephone.
DR.. Bell now needed capital to push
his idea, He was poor, having nothing
but his salary as teacher. The way the
Bell telephone became success was
due to causes wholly outside Of his own
merits. Gardiner Green Hubbard, Of
Cambridge, Mass, had deaf-mute
daughter at school in Germany. Be-
coming dissatisfied with her progress be
had her come home, and employed DR..
Bell to teach her. The young lady was
very lovable, and DR.. Bell soon dis
covered that the feeling he had for her
was very different from the ordinary
feeling existing between teacher and
pupil. lie felt compelled by honor to
resign his position. which he did. But
tho mischief was done. The affection
was mutual.
At first the young lady's parents OPP
posed the union But when they found
their daughters happiness at stake they
gracefully surrendered.
DR.. Bell had won charming wife
and obtained as fathcr-in law wealthy
business man. Gardiner Hubbard had
every iuduccmcnt to push the telephone.
FROM this time on it was success.

Texas doctors. Col.Sumpter Mcbride
Sumpter Of Austin, who waslquite

He was in bed three or four days
at his hotel, and when the bill was
presented he took piece of paper
and pencil and Figured cut how
much more he had to pay in New
York than he would have had to
pay in Texas for the same amount
Of indisposition. Having got
through his calculation, he folded
his hands saying.
II am lucky in being sick here in
New York instead Of being laid up
in Texas"

A Sound Civil Service Reform.

A sgreat deal of ingenuity and
agility has been expended of late in
making democratic platforms about
the civil service, but we have not
seen one anywhere that contained a
really constructive idea.
Something like the following would
be an Improvement upon any of
these efforts that we have recently
had chance to study:
Whereas, President Cleveland is
is greatly taken with civil service
examinations and non>partisan ap-
pointments and whereas we do not
want to say anything that would hurt
his feelings or prevent any democrat
from getting good appointment
from him, we hereby renew the dec.
laration of the National Democratic
Convention of 1884 in favor of an
honest reform of the civil service
and we adopt that declaration as
part of our platform.
Resolved, That in our opinion
honest reform of the civil service
requires that all applicants for ap>
pointment to minor offices should be
examined to test their capacity to
perform the duties which they desire
to assume aid no man should be
appointed who cannot pass such an
examination.
Resolved. That every executive
department or bureau should have an
Examining Board of its own appoint
ed by its head from among its en-
ployes. This Board should examine
every applicant in reading, writing
arithmetic, and whatever other
branch Of knowledge may be requisite
for the correct performance of the
work to be done; and the members
of this Board should have no extra
paw for their services.
Resolved, That competitive ex-
aminations and the invariable ap
pointment of the individuals who
succeed in them without regard to the
judgment OF preference of the appoint
ing authority, are anti.democratic ane

The Sleeping Car Genius.

He slept days and made up berths
at night. Truly, he began making
up berths at Jersey City, and when
he got through, about daylight, it
was time to begin to unmake them
again. All night could hear him
opening and shutting the berth like
a concertina. He sang softly to
himself all night long.
You must camp little in the
wilderness
And then we'll all go home.
And played his own accompani>
ment on the berth.
When in repOse he was generally
asleep with a whisk broom in one
hand and extended with the palm
up, waiting for a dividend to be de-
clared.
He generally sat with his mouth
open, so that you could read his in>
most thoughts, and when I COM
planned to him about the way my
bunk felt he said he was sorry, and
wanted to know which cell I was
in.-BiU Nye in Boston Globe.

4 UOlHAN'S WAY.

Young man with the strangely troubled
face,
And the footsteps sad and slow,
Be not cast down by girlish frown
And a softly whispered ''Nor'
Her sweet blush tells me different tale:
There is hope for you to-day.
Tn your hour of bliss remember this:
1t is only woman's way.
She must not be too easily won.
She thinks in her maidenly pride;
So she lifts her eyes quite in surprise
When your arms are opened wide;
And when you offer your heart and hand,
Then she begs for more delay;
In her lovers need she would have him
1t is only woman's way.
If maiden ever adores swain,
In this vale of smiles and tears.
Who her heart hath stirred by loving
word,
IT'S the man that perseveres.
She hates coward whose heart is faint,
Like the zephyr in odorous May;
Who will drop his lance, at maiden's
1t is only woman's way.
'Tis all the same throughout the land,
In the palace and the Cot,
That maidens are shy and men must try
For the blessings they have not.
For the helpmeet Heaven doth mean 70,
all,
To cheer till the head grows gray;
With the soft caress, and the power to
bless,
In woman's pleasant way.

Is Popular Government a Failure?

A friend sends us a copy of The
Charleston Neaus and Courier with
an editorial on the above subject in
which the writer endorses the words
of Secretary Bayard, that popular
government is failure, if a party
is to administer the government
only to put its followers in office"
Mr.. Bayard may be right if there is
any party in this country likely to
Get in power, that vents to admin
lister the government only to put its
FOLLOWERS IN office. But if Mr.. Bay
ard thinks that the democratic party
can successfully administer the gov
ernme mt by letting its enemies hold
the offices, be will most certainly
find that the. party is failure, if
popular government is not. "Party
organization and party work are in
dispensable to success, but the most
effective work is not always obtained
from the persons who expect offices,
says the Ne,us and Observer, but
pray, what do they work for? Is ii
to carry out distinctive policy o1
the party? If SO, are they not nee
essarily bound to intrust the carry
ing out of that policy to men who
are thoroughly in accord with them!
We quote further from the Neacs ano
Courier's article:
There is some basis for action anC
for confidence as we'll, when a party
appeals to the public spirit and pa
triotic feeling Of the people, telling
them that the business affairs of the
government should be administered
as citizen administers his private
affairs, and that a political party
! serves its purpose only when il
serves the public,
Precisely. What citizen will en-
ploy man to attend to his business
when he knows that mans views
concerning the business are in direct
conflict with his own? If party has
principles distinct from another
and it is intrusted with the admins
tration of the affairs of the govern
ment, it Will be expected to carry
cut those principles, and it will be
held responsible by the people for
the manner in which tire work is
done. Is it wise to leave the work
of carrying out these principles with
the men who fought them? But ii
there is no vital difference in the
principles Of the parties, then what
is the basis of action if it be not to
obtain the offices? Does party sue
cess simply mean to change the
head Of the government? Away
with such nonsense. Democratic
success means that the government
will be administered by democratic
officers. Republican success means
that the government will be admins
tered by republican officers. Call il
the "spoils SYSTEM if you please
but it is the common sense system
and without it popular government
will indeed be a failure.-NeaU Bernt
