Woman's seclnsion in India.

! had not been long in India when a
native lady who owned large estates
sent to beg my husband to pay her
visit, as she was anxious that he
should take charge Of her property,
which was much embarrassed, ana
wished to discuss the matter with him.
We dismounted from our elephants IN
the court yard of her house, and were
conducted by a magnificent major
domo and crowd Of smaller satel-
htes to carpeted veranda, where
chairs were placed ready for us. The
steward then approached, holding in
the palms Of his joined hands some
gold coins, which we touched instead
OF royalty taking, as was the generous
custom in less prudish days But no
lady was to be seen, and I was amazed
and even startled to hear my husband,
still looking straight before him, be-
gin speaking as if he saw some one.
It gave me quite shock, but as he
showed no other sign Of sudden in
sanity, looked around for some ex-
PLANTATION, and then discovered that
our chairs were placed near kind OF
screen called chik, made Of thin
strips of bamboo, which completely
prevents any one from outside seeing
In, although person within the room
can see out, and behind this shelter
ing mantle of invisibility sat the Lady
and her women. The conversation
was long, and almost wholly unintel-
igible to me, but I gathered that my
husband, having reason to be dis
pleased with the lady's conduct, de-
clined to accept her hospitality in any
way, which, Judging from certain elo-
quent sounds that issued from behind
the screen, drew from her tears and
1amentation. Cornhi11 Magazine.

A Primitive relenhone Line.

A correspondent at Lake Megantic
sends the particulars of telephone
line that has at least the advantage of
simplicity and freedom from paying
tribute to telephone company The
correspondent says:
In Moose River, Me-, they have a
telephone working between the New
ton house and store about half mile
distant The receiver and trans1nitter
are all one. They have hole cut in
the wall and within have placed a
small frame covered with sheepskin.
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.n-Detroit

The Whistle of the Elk.

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 a first
hearing. It is a 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 a 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
OF 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 asoertaining 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. 0. Shields
in Harper's Margarine.

Almost UnOn Us.

The Manufacturers, Record of re.
cent date says: 1t scarcely needs a
prophets foresight to see that what
we have predicted is even now
already almost upon us. The signs
of great activity are too plain not
to be seen. The people of the South
are determined that while they lost
in tie political battle, they are
bound to win in the struggle for
industrial supremacy. From Vir-
GINA to Texas they are moved by
the one great impulse to develope
their matches resources, and thus
make the South what it is certainly
destined to be-the richest country
in the world. They are not left to
themselves, however, in this work.
Northern men and Northern capital
will pour into the South as never
before. We see it every day. All
along the line there are great devel-
opponents coming, and before this
winter ends there will be such
activity throughout thu South a.
will astonish those who have not
carefully studied the present condi
ton of affairs. In connection with
the industrial activity there will,
We think, be heavy demand for
real estate, especially in progressive
towns.
