WE copy the following to let u former
Bennington gentleman, but whose name
we of course withhold, see that there is
now and then an instance Of like-miDd
ed generosity. The item referred to
saysi "a Milwaukee clergyman who has
a reputation for b. iliancy, generosity
and getting into debt, and who was
lately reported as being in financial
straits, was waited upon few days ago
by wealthy parisbioner, who asked
him to figure out the amount of money
it would take TO make him free from
debt. The clergyman replied that 1t
would take nearly $4,000, whereupon the
gentleman responded: Well, your ser
mons have been worth that much to me
above my pew rent and contributions.
Please accept this And he handed the
clergyman check for the sum named. /"

The Cushman Telephone .

AS will be seen from the following, al
the rivals to the Bell Telephone Com
pany are not dead yet. A special dis
patch from Chicago to the Electrical
World, New York, of April It'll, says ::
THE city council has passed an
ordinance granting the American Cush-
man Telephone Company the right to
lay wires and operate a telephone
system in Chicago. thus breaking the
monopoly of the Bell company in this
city. The charter provides that all
wires within a mile north and two
mile s west and south of the City Hall
shall be laid underground. Within the
city limits, as they existed July 1st,
1887, the wires are to be put under
ground in six years. The prices are to
be $95 for the first year, ana $95 for each
succeeding year, except where contract
is made for three years, when the rental
per annum shall be S75. The public
offices are to be supplied with teIe-
phones free of charge, and telephones
for police service shall be rented to the
city for not more than IS per annum.
The Bell Telephone Company now
charge from 500 to $3.50 per year"
The Cushman Telephone is the iRven-
G'On VI III SuSumdHs duu ID d 6OO III
strument. There are several exchanges
in operation in the different States. In
some cities the subscriber owns his own
telephone, and pays the company
operating the Exchange a small rental
for exc hange service. In other cities,
the local company own the instruments,
and le 1T them for So OR 81 per month.
Inc instruments are sod outright; no
royalty to pay.
The company have an acting agent in
this CitV.

mentioned above the mud and other
debris could be easily washed out
through this pipe and carried down the
creek as it is now.
Another objection is that the dam
may allow the water to seep through
it, and thus not hold enough back
to make much of lake. This may be
true. but if we have the wall there that
can resist the force of the water, it must
certainly be an easy matter to puddle
the face of it so as to hold the water.
If this reservoir is kept as free as pos
sible from decaying organic matter,
and the water kept in slight motion
from the inf1owing creek, much of the
present impurity OF dissolved lime
stone and suspended matter would
settle to the bottom and sides, and thus
the water would be made much purer
than it can be now, when allowed to
settle in such small tanks. and then
carried with nearly all its impurities,
under high pressure. through the mains.
Reservoirs, of course, are intended for
purposes of utility, but
ARTIFICIAL LAKES OF THIS KIND
could and certainly would be turned
to ornamental uses by con-
strueting magnificent boulevards to
them if not too far away. and drives
and groves around them, and thus they
would be used as pleasure resorts for
our city population during the hotter
months OF the year, and that, too, within
a short drive or ride of their homes.
Under proper protection and with a
little care the stream and reservoirs
might be stocked with mountain trout.
These suggestions and ideas may seem
visionary, and in one sense they GER
tainly are, as such dams, so far as our
information goes, have never been sue
cessfully constructed except by Nature
and by the imagination. The chief
merit of this plan is in the construction
of the dam, The Herculean task of
filling up the creek is done by the creek
itself, and that too with little more than
the work of a man or two to lay and
fire the blasts, and direct the force of
the water. TARAs.

One of the most noted physicians has dis
covered a new danger that menaces ladies
who keep pet dogs. There is an invisible
worm that rubs off the dogs tongue. These
worms work their way into the flesh of hu-
man beings, and it is extremely dangerous
for dog to lick even lady's hand This
fact was discovered by one of our best ply
sicians, and was made public bya gentle
man who is the husband of one of the ladies
who has had nest of dog worms removed.
wealthy lady residing in Brooklyn had
a strange lump growing on her cheek, and
she consulted her family physician. The
doctor informed her that she had nest of
dog worms imbedded in her cheek He ex-
planned that he had treated number of
ladies for the same ailment, and had ope-
rated successfully on them The doctor
frankly explained the cause of his patients
