The whistle of the elk is a sound
which many have tried to describe,
yet / doubt if any one who may have
read all the descriptions of it ever
written would recognize it on first
hearing. 1t is most strange, weird
peculiar sound, battling all efforts of
the most skillful word painter 1t is
only uttered by the male, and there is
the same variety in the sound made by
different stays as in different human
voices. Usually the cry begins and
ends with a sort of grunt, somewhat
like the below of a domestic
COW cut short, but the inter
Jude is long drawn, melodious,
flute like sound that rises and
falls with a rhythmical cadence, float
ing on the still evening air, by which
it is often waited with singular dis
tinctness to great distances. By other
individuals, or even by the same indi-
vidual at various times, either the first
or last of these abrupt sounds is
omitted, and only the other in con-
nection with the long drawn, silver
toned strain, is given.
The stag utters this call only in the
love making season, and for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the whereabouts
of his dusky mate, who responds by a
short and utterly unmusical sound,
similar to that with which the male
begins or ends his call.-G. o. Shields
in Harper's Magazine.

A Primitive Telephone Line.

A correspondent at Lake Megantic
sends the particulars of a telephone
line that has at least the advantage of
simplicity and freedom from paying
tribute to a telephone company. The
correspondent says:
In Moose River, Me-, they have a
telephone working between the New
ton house and a store about half mile
distant The receiver and transmitter
are all one. They have hole cut in
the wall and within have placed a
small frame covered with sheepsl1in.
To this the wire is attached. The wire
is suspended with tarred rope Any
one wanting to speak through the tele-
phone simply raps on the frame. The
rapping can be heard ten or twelve feet
from the receiver at the other end of
the wire. 1t has been in operation
about two weeks now and gives good
satisfaction. The natives are delighted
to get talking through it-"-Detroit

He Prefers Experience.

A writer who is a good observer, and
has had considerable experience, thus
defines the difference between the old
and young. There is he says, a wide
gulf between youth and ripe old age,
hence the proverb, You can't put an
old head on young shoulders This
proverb was written by an old man
youth had nothing to do with it.
Youth don't believe the old man knows
anything, and the old man expects con-
tinually that the young man will be
along saying, 81 didn't know it was
loaded" The wise young man will
seek the counsel of those ripe in years
and experience and avoid the mistakes
in life. But Young America will con,
tinue to figure in the divorce courts,
and compound his debts at ten cents
on the dollar. He don't want to be
told that it is loaded; he prefers to fipd
out himself. He gets there, and p,.s S
the piper generally.

Mninsprinps of Watches.

II wish you would correct an error
that has been going the rounds of the
press, said watch manufacturer to
the reporter. 1.-The item | refer to
states that the watch repairer is more
rapacious than the plumber, and
charges $3.50 for putting in a main
spring that costs him Scents and takes
him twenty minutes to insert. AS a
matter of fact, the mainsprings in Or
binary use cost $1.50 per dozen and
can be inserted in twenty minutes
providing the repairer meets with no
accident But his profits cannot be
Judged in that way. The handspring
of watch is of such delicate work
manship that | have known a skilled
hand to break as many as fifteen in
putting one in a watch. This will
show you that the repairer is often
out of pocket through job. A Pc
culiar thing about mainsprings is that
they are very susceptible to atmos-
pheric changes. Except when they
meet with an accident, most springs
break during the months of March,
April and May. No one can assign
a reason for this but it is a fact too
well known to watchmakers to be
questioned. New York Evening Sun.

Higher prices are expected at the Lon
don wool sales this week.
Cape wool is reported as opening two
or three cents higher than last year.
Australia offers 100000 for the ex-
termination of rabbits from the sheep
ranges.
The advance in wool is all along the
line. This is most gratifying-and the
end is not yet.
English worsted yarns have advanced
two cents per pound at Bradford, Eng
land. Should this continue it will tend
to check importations.
Wool is higher at st. Louis. Reports
indicate a strong demand from both man.

and advancing markets.
