Fights Of its capital stock, however, virtually
held monopoly, as it would be impossible

Dr. Green stated at this point that three

Continuing, Hubbard said that in all other
countries the telegraph was controlled by the
government. In this country it was in the
control of a single corporation. The aues-
ton was whether the government could not
manage it much cheaper than the Western
Union. In Switzerland and Belgium the
cost of sending messages was IA cents; in
England, 10 cents; in this country, % cents,
Could not this sum be reducedl II 1t could
be done slowly by the Western Union, it
could be done rapidly by the government.
There were two ways proposed. One in the
bills Of Senators Cullom and Edmunds, which
was that the government should operate the
lines; the other by the plan advocated by
him for many years, the substance OF which
was embraced In tho bill reported by the
committee four years ago and introduced by
Mr.. Dawes 1t was in the line of the system
now adopted by the postofiice for tue trans
mission of letters.
The chairman said that the Dawes bill pro-
The committee was against this, but had
agreed to let Dawes report it
Hubbard said that wasn't his suggestion.
His proposition was that the postofiice de-
partment should re ceive kilograms as it did
letters; that 1t should make contract with
competent parties to transmit the kilograms
and that the government should deliver the
kilograms. In the country towns the post
office will undoubtedly be the telegraph
office
In reply to question, Hubbard said he
supposed that about half of the So 900 post
offices would be accommodated, as the tele-
graph lines stood to-day. All kilograms
were to be prepaid by stamps furnished by
the government. Here 5 per cent. of the
business was social, while abroad it was 50

CurIou. Story of an Inventor.

They tell curious story of old Chris tOpher Meyer. who was more or less with Ives. Many years ago he was a work man in factory where rubber shoes were made He received the fabulous sum of $l2j a day. At night he worked out the details of au invention for economizing in the number of men employed in the fac tory. One d1y he finished his machine, carried it Co the shop and showed his boss how well it would do tine work of a dozen or twenty men. The boss was thunder struck: bu' before bc could examine the Invention Meyer seized a big hammer and knocked it~ delicate machinery into chaos.
 But want that, protested the boss.
 Il know you do, answered the work man, quietly.
 Come and see nae tomorrow noon" continued the head of the firm, pOmpOus- ly, "Jud VIC will make some arrange ments'-
 If you want to talk business with me" remarked the workman, cOOlly, you can come Co my lodgings at o'clock tonight. Better not bc late"
 The millionaire was there at 2, Meyer was taken into the firm. and in short time he was at the head of the business. He lives in New Brunswick, \. J., in a prctentious house, and his sons are all well married. < short time ago the old man--he is more than 70 years of age tookit into his mind Co marry again, picked out a beautiful l9-year old girl and pre- pared for the wedding. Immense oppOsi- ton was expected from the family, as old Meyer Is worth ten or twelve millions: but, Co the amazemeut and chagrin of sO- ciety md the sensational press, all of the old manufacturer's friends, family and connections backed him up heartily, snd sent him "a on ms bridal tour, looking ahd feeling Ike major.-Blakely Halls Letter.

Collecting Fine VioIins.

In an office building on Union square are the quarters of dealer who sells the finest and costliest old violins that arC sOLi in America. Amateurs who collect old fiddles know him well, and enormous prices are paid by them for the instru- mcuts he makes a speciality of buying and selling man from the far west bought a Stradivarius for S, 800 the other afternoon. and in the course of his pur- chase played a snatch of a tune on it. His playing was cNcCrable. l never heard worse from a street musician. I remarked on this to the dealer, and he replied, smiling:
 The costliest viOlins belong to the men who have least skill in playing them. That is one of the curiOsides of the trade. Those who collect viOlins are rarely master performers on them. They buy for the sake of having. Men who can play the violin do not invest fortunes in instruments. They buy as good as they can afford for themselves and do their best with it."
 This collection of fiddles is, by the way, 70 curious craze. I knew a man in London who had it very badly He owned dozens of viOlins, and had each put by in a special glass case on the wall of his study along with a little book containing It's history, written by himself, and the docu- ments that authenticated it. He also had a fine collection of bows. lie would start oG at an hours notice for Russia or America to get hold of prize violin, and the only tune he could play through was Yankee Doodlc,n which is the easiest one to learn on the violin.

THE FUNERAL MONTH OF
 MARCH.

An observant metropolitan barber says that he can tell ones physical con ditiOn by the state of the hair.
 The Bible tells us that with his hair gone samson lost his strength. The Romans considered badness a serious a iiiction and Julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with himself because his poll was bare.
 The face. however, is the open book and one can readily trace in it's various expressions, lines, changes and com plexiOn the state of the system.
 The eye that is unusually bright and yet has a pallid brightness, the face upon whose cheeks nature paints a rose 0. .nguar beauty and flush more marked in contrast with the alabaster appearance of the forehead and nose and lower part of the face, k one of those whom the sIslled physician will tell you win some day dread the funereal month of March, because it is then that consumption reaps its richest harvest. Consumption they tell us is caused by this, that and the other thing, by microbes in the air, by micro-organisms in the blood, by def- cient nutrition, by a thousand and one things, but whatever the cause, decay begins with a cough and the remedy that will effecmally stop the cause of that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
 That is all there is of it.
 The cough is an evidence of a wasting. To stop it efiectually, remedy must be used that will search out the cause, re- move that and then heal the lung and do away with the cough. This is the power, special to itself, possessed alone by Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con sumption remedy. This is no newfangled notion of narcotics and pOisons, but an old-fashioned preparation of balsams, roots and herbs, such as was used by our ancestors many years ago, the for mula of which has been secured ex- clusively by the present manufacturers at great trouble and expense. It is not a mere cold-dryer It is a system-searcher and upbuilder and a consumption ex- pellant. Where others fail, 1t wins, be- cause it gets at the constitutional cause and removes it from the system.
 J. W. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on January l5, lSSS, reported that ''he had derived more real benefit for the length of time, from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy than he had for years from the best State physicians.
 If you have a cough, night sweats, positive assurance in your own mind that you, oh-you, have no consump- tion," and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as your lungs waste away, you may know that soon the funereal month of March will claim you, unless promptly and faithfullyy you Use the article named. If other remedies have failed try this one thoroughly Ii others are offered, insist the more on trying this unequaled pre- paration.
 Some persons are prone to consump- ton and they should never allow the disease to become seated.

A New Military Tent.

A trial of the Howe convertible tent and intrenching tools was made on Mon day at Colchester. in the presence of Mai Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, V. C., and com mittce of officers. The inventor claims that this tent, the pole and pegs of which will form efficient intrenching tools, is easily carried, easily erected and always at hand when required. It is made in sections. of which each soldier carries an equal portion. which, when packed for transport. does not exceed sixteen inches in length and six pounds in weight. The tent is designed tO accommodate any number of men, ten or twelve being d convenient number. The tent pole is an iron tube. made in ten interchangeable sections, each of which, when unscrewed. forms the handle of an intrenching tool, to which spade. pick or hammer can be attached at will. One edge of the spade is curved and sharpened, forming useful hatchet, while sharp spike, used as a pick, can be easily and securely affixed to one end of the tubular shaft or handle A second tube tupcring into point at one end, and closed at the other end with movable iron head slides within the tubu- lar h9ndle. and may be employed to lengthen it, or may he detached and used as a tent peg. In sandy soils this peg may be passed through hole in the center of the spade. which is then buried, forming a storm anchor.
 Every part uf the implement serves a double purpose, and every probable con- tingency seems to be provided for in it's constructiOn-cven the tent hooks arc in- geniOusly made tO act as spanners. At first sight the addition of any extra weight tO the burden of the modern British in- fantry sOldier-whO is seldom a Hercules would seem tO be an argument against the adoption of MT. Howe's clever con t-ivance; but 1t is cOntended that by dis pensing with blanket the soldier might carry his tent section without adding to the weight of his kit. He would then be able tO pitch his tent without waiting for the arrival Of the baggage wagons, which are frequently many miles in rear of the marching cOlumn.-LOndOn Court Jour
