Continued Rain in Ohio.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, o. Oct, 26.-For
four long weeks st has rained continu-
onsly in this section. Corn was cut
green, and the crop has not been SO large
for years. Hundreds of acres are mold

will be ruined. Hundreds of acres of
potatoes are still In the ground, and it is
feared the crop will be partially ruined.

How q Queen Was Shocked.

NJ. Julien Brault has just published a
volume giving history of the telephone
since its continental adoption. He tells
an amusing story of its debut in Brussels
in 1884. The queen was asked to listen
from her palace to a representation at the
Monnale theatre. Suddenly, to the sur
prise of all present, she dropped the in
strument, giving a little gasp of dismay.
The chorus leader had just been giving
his tumultous crowd sudden reprimand
in the most supplementary language,
using the name Of Divine Providence in
a very free and easy manner. Strict
orders were given on the morrow to oblige
the use of more diplomatic speech. and
the queen was happy.
Brault states that Spain has made no
progress at all in the use of the telephone.
In 1882 the government began to feel
some interest in the matter, and a law
was voted allowing its use in the princi-
pal cities. Even Russia preceded Spain,
for in 1881 the instrument was there used
quite commonly. and even at greater
distances than in France. Now, in
France, in towns boasting of a population
of $4,000 inhabitants the telephone is
completely unknown. Luxemberg gives
the cheapest rates for yearly subscriptions,
and Russia the dearest. Democrat.

the returning prodigal and coaxing
words for the splenetic malcontent.
Ahl the face of this pouting elder son
is put before us in order that we might
better see the radiant and forgiving face
of the father. Contrasts are mighty.
The artist in sketching the field of Water
loo, years after the battle, put a dove in
the mouth of the cannon. Raphael, in
one of his cartoonsa beside the face of
a wretch put the face Of happy and
innocent child. And SO the sour face of
this irascible and disguised elder brother
is brought out in cider that in the
contrast we may better understand the
forgiving and the radiant face of. God.
That is the meaning of it-that God is
ready to take back anybody that is sorry,
to take him clear back, to take him back
forever, and forever, and forever, to take
him back with loving hug, to put a
kiss on his parched lip, ring on his
bloated hand, an easy shoe on his chafed
foot, garland on his bleeding temples,
and heaven in his soul. Oh, l fall fat on
that mercy! Come, my brother, and let
us get down into the dust, resolved never
to rise until the Fathers forgiving hand
shall lift u.s.
Oh, what God we have! Bring your
doxologies. Come, earth and heaven,
and join in the worship. Cry aloud.
Lift the palm branches! Do you not feel
the Fathers arm around your neck2 Do
you not feel the warm breath of your
Father against your cheek2 Surrender,
younger son! Surrender, elder son! Sur
render all! Oh. go in today and sit down
at the banquet. Take slice of the fat
tened calf, and afterwards, when you are
seated, with one hand in the hand of the
returned brother, and the other hand in
the hand of the rel ing. father, Let your
heart beat time to the clapping of the
cymbal and the mellow voice of the flute.
sit is meet that we should make merry,
and be glad, for this thy brother was dead
and is alive again; and was lost, and is

Relics of the Old Stone Age,

The Smithsonian institution has sent
out an earnest request that all persons
interested in science shall cooperate,
with the aim of determining if in
America there existed an old stone of
paleolithic age. To that end it has re-
quested that implements supposedly be-
longing to that age, be sent to the insti-
tuition at Washington for examination.
Many supposed to be such have already
been sent in; and most of them prove to
be of very different origin. None
truly paleolithic have been found in the
mounds. Meanwhile, a cute Pennsyl-
vania individual has put on the market
quantity of spurious. but well made,
arrow heads. He takes the more modern
Clipped flints, which are abundant, and
rechips them into curious and antique
forms to make them salable. He has
driven fine business. Genuine Yankees
are now quite behind the age.-Globe-

Old Times In Louiaiana.

Those ''society balls" We're conducted
with great propriety and reserve. Tha
claim of every person of both sexes to bo
admitted having been previously deter
mined by the responsible and trusty COM
mittee, there was a sort of temporary
and conventional equality on the terp-
sichorean floor. and, therefore, every gen.
tlcman had the privilege to invite lady
without the formality of an introduction
to figure In the dance as his partner.
After it was over he escorted her back
respectfully to her seat, without presume
ing, if unknown and not duly presented,
to remain standing before her, or to sit
by her side, to continue the conversation
or prolong the accidental acquaintance.
During the intervals of dancing the
gentlemen walked up and down between
the rows of ladies that densely lined tho
hall, some merely bowling as they passed
to those whom they knew and others
stopping to converse. No woman, mar
ried or single, joined in this promenading
with n male companion, as is the custom
in these present days. and the eye OF u
lynx could not have detected the slight
est Irritation. The word itself was not
known, for the thing it means Is for
Louisiana n modern inyention, which
had not then been patented and brought
out for public use. In fact, this peculiar
pastime would have been impossible to
attempt. 1t would have produced So
cial earthquak. American Magazine.

Writers and the "Svndtoates. /"

The method of presenting literary mat
ter through ''syndicate' may have its
advantage, but I think it sh,xts off in q
sense, great many writers Who might
otherwise gradually gain recognition. If
a syndicate were managed right, it could
pay better prices for literary matter than
any one else; the projectors of such an
enterprise could afford to pay certain
authors enormous sums but, at the same
time, such a scheme would work like
having no copyright law; it would
enable one class of authors to sit down on
the others and keep them out.
A popular journal which had the nerve
and enterprise to secure good authors ex-
clusively and pay them for their work
would put itself ahead of competitors.
The trouble with the syndicate" is that
it tends to reduce journals to dead
level. Robert Bonner, of The New York
Ledger, tried the former method; hs
paid certain authors good prices to write
exclusively for him, and found that thu
undertaking paid him. So, in the pres
ent day, an enterprising editor who is on
the alert can find young American
writers of promise and bring them out
thus not only starting them on successful
careers, but greatly benefting his owl
journal.-E. P. Roe in The Epoch.
